Today's thought/lyric of the day doesn't need a whole heckuva lot of set-up. From the 1973 film "Black Caesar" (as well as the 1998 flick "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"), James Brown's "The Boss" is so simple it's hard to believe the man packed it full of so much soul. An underplayed classic from The Godfather of Soul himself.
"Paid the cost to be the boss. I'm a bad mutha."

White Paper | November 7, 2011
Is Your Cloud Data Center Running Too Hot?Source: APC by Schneider Electric
By Suzanne Niles and Patrick Donovan
IT virtualization, the engine behind cloud computing, can have significant consequences on the data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). Higher power densities that often result can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced overall energy consumption that typically results from physical server consolidation may actually worsen the data center's power usage effectiveness (PUE). Dynamic loads that vary in time and location may heighten the risk of downtime if rack-level power and cooling health are not understood and considered. Finally, the fault-tolerant nature of a highly virtualized environment could raise questions about the level of redundancy required in the physical infrastructure. These particular effects of virtualization are discussed and possible solutions or methods for dealing with them are offered.

"We call them Twin No. 1 (Shanna was born first) and Twin No. 2," cousin Leah Strain, the Bobcats' star junior point guard, said.
It was real easy to tell the twins apart during Woodland's 71-54 rout of Providence Christian in Tuesday's AHSAA girls' Class 2A semifinals. Shalyn was the one hitting 3-pointers in the first half, and Shanna found the mark in the second.
Shanna finished with 18 points (15 in the second half), and Shalyn scored all 12 of her points in the first to complement Leah's 34-point outburst.
Still, for all of the easy clues, it seems hard for outsiders to keep their Strains straight. Whoever kept the point totals on the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex scoreboard on Tuesday credited some of Shalyn's 3-pointers to Shanna and vice versa.
Referees had their issues, too.
"I got a foul called on me, and I wasn't even near her," Shalyn said.
OK, Woodland still has a game to play in this tournament. The top-ranked Bobcats will play second-ranked Prattville Christian (34-0) for the state title Friday at 9 a.m., so it might be a good time to review the strain of Strains that runs through Woodland.
Larry Strain is the coach.
Leah Strain is his daughter and younger sister to Courtney Strain, the state's all-time leading scorer and now a redshirt sophomore at Auburn.
Amy Strain, a senior on this year's team, is the daughter of Larry's brother Dave and cousin to Leah, Courtney, Shanna and Shalyn.
Shanna and Shalyn are daughters to Larry's and Dave's brother Shane and cousins to Leah, Courtney and Amy.
Larry's son Trae — older brother to Leah and Courtney, nephew to Dave and Shane and cousin to Amy, Shalyn and Shanna — deserves mention. He was a key player in Woodland's state runner-up finishes in football in 2004 and 2006, but let's not confuse the uninitiated more.
Let's keep it to the present and what's needed to keep the Strains currently wearing Woodland uniforms straight.
With Leah, it's easy. She's No. 2 and the one with the ball in her hands most, dribbling through presses and defenses of all kinds then either powering the ball up to the basket or passing out to her cousins.
Amy, wearing No. 21, is the talker/floor leader who makes a lot of hustle plays.
With Shanna and Shalyn? OK, so they play similar roles. They're usually on opposite sides of the 3-point arc, ready to catch Leah's passes and fire.
What the twins do on the court is similar enough that it can be confusing, and their names are similar.
Then again, clue number one should he that Shalyn, consistent with any roster, wears No. 22. Shanna wears No. 23.
Oh, and Shalyn has brown hair and Shanna blond. That's not on any roster but helpful.
Apparently, help is needed.
"It happened more than just the scoreboard," Larry Strain said. "The officials were calling fouls over there that looked like it was blatantly --- I mean, it was obvious that it was on the different young lady.
"It's not that they were blatantly doing anything wrong. They just get the numbers confused, and it happens quite often."
If the twins keep knocking down 3-pointers on the state's biggest stage, maybe the confusion won't happen quite so often.
Their development as 3-point shooters has helped to make this Woodland team hard to defend. Opponents know they have to stop Leah's dribble penetration, which is hard enough, but they also know they have to get hands in Shanna's and Shalyn's faces.
Having Shanna and Shalyn spread out on opposite sides of the floor only enhances Leah's chances to penetrate.
"As long as they're knocking down their shots and Leah, they (Woodland's opponents) have got to pick their poison," Larry said.
There was plenty to go around Tuesday. Strains accounted for all but six of Woodland's points. Amy had one, the free throw that gave Woodland its biggest lead, 71-52.
Then factor in chemistry that comes from the bulk of this Woodland team having played together in AAU and school-sponsored since grade school.
It's no wonder that Woodland's girls, who lost in the 2A finals two years ago, look to have their best chance to bring home the blue champion's trophy. Though there's some claim to a mythical-era state football title in 1963, they can bring home the school's first AHSAA-recognized state title.
And then, just maybe, it won't be such a strain for officials, scoreboard keepers et al to keep the Strains straight.

OMG!!!! I keep posting but it wither times out or I accidentally hit enter and it did a search!! CRAP!!! I'll try for time #3!' Grrrrr.....
So... I had strep and then I got an ear infection/inflamation in my jaw that makes my ear and throat feel like someone is jabbing it with an ice pick periodically... So, that's fun! And I went and saw my ear, nose and throat dr this morning because I am seriously tired of getting strep since I had my tonsils out this past summer... She said I may be the first adult case of being a carrier for strep! Yay, again! should I be flattered?
But this has affected my work outs! I didnt have the energy for any cardio since the end of last week. Monday I had a moderate UBWO... FINALLY, last night I had a great LBWO and this morning I ran for my cardio!! Love it!!!
1. Well, I prefer LBWO over UBWO because I can feel the burn... Now, having said that.... When I do running (not treadmill) I feel like I am Wonder Woman!!! I feel like I have just accomplished great things and nothing can bring me down... I know I sound like a dork, but it is so awesome!!!
2. squats or lunges
3. either protein pudding (lemon is my new fave) or cottage cheese with blueberries
4. hmmm... fried rice I guess??? I love all of the food I make.
5. I can do 145 on sled for quads... I don't use a lot of dumbells... I use either machines or bars
6. Oh yes!!! One challenge isn't enough to fix the hail storm that has hit my thighs!!!
YAY!!! It posted!!!
I had a great cardio workout today. I was happy that I was able to run the whole thing without lowering
the level to catch my breath. I also noticed that I had a lot less jiggling (excess body fat) than I used
to. A friend I hadn't seen in a while noticed that I've lost weight. Now, if only I can resist the vending
machine at work, I'll be doing great. It has called my name every day since Tuesday &
unfortunately, I answered. But I did not give in and purchase the school's fundraiser of
cookie dough. This is huge because I love chocolate chip cookies. In previous years, I've always
bought at least one tub of cookie dough. Here's to all the progress I'm making. I'm not
perfect, but at least I'm a lot better than what I used to be. On to week 9. Let's finish strong!
inspired woman--great job! you will kick that vending machine habit. When I look at them I just think of all the processed and possilby (old) food that is in there.
moxie--Glad I could inspire you to read DR again! So I was writing out my next month's budget feeling pretty good about saving $ in this envelope and that--then at some point in dawned on me, today is the first of the month and rent is due! Our biggest expense and I had completely forgotten to include it in the budget. I had to refigure everything!! I was crushed and mad at my stupidity for forgetting to include it.
I moved around so many boxes yesterday and had to go up a flight of stairs with them. I never got tired out, it was like my legs were a powerhouse and they just kept pumping :) And today I'm not even that sore. I will hit my cardio around noon and do abs, 'cuz I didn't have time yesterday.
I missed you guys this week, as I fell off the face of the Earth into a thing called overload at work. I'm reading through all the posts since Mar. 24th to try to catch up. I haven't missed any workouts, but only ate 85% clean this week. That's because my birthday was last Tuesday, the 29th. The only difference I've found is that I have to enter a bigger number into the age settings on the elliptical machine! Even with imperfect eating my weight this afternoon was near my two - year low point! My busy schedule made me revise the order of some of my workouts - but I'm actually ahead of schedule, assuming I do my cardio tonight and a LBWO tomorrow. It is really fortunate I had to change it, as my UB needed some time off, and was back to 100% yesterday when I cranked back up.
Is this challenge really approaching week 9 already?
Once I discovered the joys of weight training, all other passions were transcended.
Things are not going well here. My husband slipped into depression. For a few days he barely ate anything or said a word but still managed to go work. and I was so worried and upset I barely ate either and no exercise at all. It's all related to our recent financial realizations. Also 'cuz BFL has empowered me to take control of my life and wanting a more meaningful existence for myself. We were even throwing the "D" word around and discussing how we would divide up our possessions. But just when I thought we were over, we decided to work on it (without counseling, he refuses) and check in once a week to keep each other in check so we don't fall back into old habits.
So now on top of doing BFL and working on new budget willpower, i also have a marriage to work on! Sad thing is right now I really don't know if my doubts I'm having will allow me to make it work.
How do you get someone to gain respect and confidence back in themselves? He has none. But he also knows he can't demand respect from others if he doesn't respect himself. If I push BFL or positive mindset stuff too much, he says I'm being too pushy. I guess just continue to be a good role model, right? I can't change others, but if I can change myself, then others can see they can change themselves too? I'm changing in more ways than I thought I would.
Opti, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know all too well how it feels to be improving (or trying to improve) and have a husband who is resistant. Be it DR or BFL. I can't imagine what it must feel like, though, to have a husband who's depressed too. I'm sure you feel distant. As a friend (can I call myself that?), and from an outsider's point of view, marriage comes first. Getting fit and financially fit don't mean a thing if you don't have love and acceptance from your spouse. For better or worse. I couldn't think of a time when you need each other more.
All of this can wait. I'm not saying give it all up. You have the tools. I am not convinced that BFL or DR are the only 2 ways to do it. You can resolve to work out and eat right and try to save money. You can try to still follow BFL. You and your husband need to get on the same page and work together as a team. Check in with each other once a day, or once an hour if you have to. When a man feels loved and happy at home, the possibilities are endless. You may be thinking "Why me? Why should I be the one to go to him?" My answer is two-fold. 1)He's depressed and probably can't see past his own nose. 2)If you wait for him, your feelings of resentment and hurt will just grow. Don't give them a chance to. You both deserve happiness. You deserve to do BFL without stress. Money always equals stress, but if you are both on the same page (after 12 years+ me and my hubby finally are-and we don't follow DR exactly-it's just a goal for me-he still hasn't read the book) you are unstoppable. Perhaps, therapy would be good for you (even without him). Hang in there Opti, I am thinking about you. I'm feeling a little guilty for telling you about DR. You are always free to email me personally. I support you no matter what. Thinking of you.
moxie--Don't feel bad about telling me about DR! Our financial wakeup call came when hubby hurt his back and then realized what bad shape we were in, and bad spending habits that were in place for decades. I don't see us following DR to the letter either. But I love the Monthly cAsh-flow Budget form he worked up. I actually changed mine to a Weekly one and drew up my own form so I have a projected checkbook balance that i compare to an Actual balance at end of week.
Since he doesn't want outside counseling, he came up with 3 questions for each of us to answer (similar to the goal-setting questions that Bill Phillips has with BFL like "What old habits need to change? What new patterns of action need to start" etc ) and we're going to compare our lists tonight. He said his was already 3 pages long!! Can you imagine typing up the BFL questions and answers and having 3 pages? So I'm glad he is willing to start working on things rather than waste away. The doubts I had I think are drifting away. Divorce almost seems like the easy way out. I'm trying to imagine how rewarding it would be to work thru our challenges and succeed!!! And be one of the those old couples you see holding hands on a park bench :)
Thank you so much for your support-yes, I consider you a 'friend'! I will still work on BFL, but if a workout conflicts with our time together, or if slips again mentally, I will have to prioritize and just skip it.
so far this week I haven't missed any workouts and am about to do my UBWO
Week 9 everyone!!! :)
I'm so happy to hear Opti. I like the question idea. Changing is so hard to do as one person, doing it as a couple takes real committment and effort. I'm glad he's willing to try. That just might be the hardest part! You'll be that old couple on the bench. You'll look back at this someday and remember that it was one of those moments that brought you closer. It's tough times that require us to refocus and choose each other all over again. You'll get through this. Congrats on keeping up with BFL and a budget!
I am on my UBWO today too. I've got a fun day planned. Coffee with some friends, a workout, a haircut and then work later. I know, that's a lame idea of fun. I'm a mom of 3, with 2 jobs-Enough said.
WEEK 9!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray!!!
moxie--sounds like a fun day. i love getting my haircut!!! Just sitting in that chair having someone comb your hair and all that. It's like a getting a massage for your head.
K, me and hubby went thru our lists of what things we want to change. Pretty overwhelming. This first one he mentioned is that he wants to get in better shape and eat better. I'm all for that, but I'm a little worried that he has no game plan at all how to do that. In the past, so many times he just thought he had to eat more veggies and trail mix, less sugar, and the pounds would come off... but that never worked and he would quit. I need to have patience, patience, patience! I will help him any way I can, but wish he could understand that he's going to need a little more detailed plan of action to reach his fitness goals. If I mention he read a few key chapters from the BFL book one more time, he says I'm too pushy. So, I will continue to bea good role model around him and try to sneak better food in his lunch. it's hard 'cuz he's asking for my help, but at the same time doesn't want to hear the truth of how he should be eating and being active. he's making a lot of excuses about why he doens't have time to exercise or eat better. Yet I work the same shifts and hours he does, and I make time.
Doing my LBWO today. Agh, I don't like LBWO day! itt burns. But I must do it!
Kurtzy, DEv? others? Have you guys drifted away? :(
hey guys
im still here... still doing all my weight training. cardio has gone out the window. eating clean. doing bodyfat measurements tomorrow. saturday is my 30th birthday. no abs... :-( o well! i can do it! finish this one and hten on to challenge number 3. mom coming to korea at the end of april. April 24th to be exact. cant wait for her to see me. hopefully its a big difference!
I was so happy to see you guys are all still going at it on this Challenge. Perfection is something we strive for, but if we don't quite attain it, there will still be progress. Today is a very special day for me. It is exactly 2 years ago today that I started my first Body for Life challenge, and I can't say I regret a single moment of it. We all need to stay positive through the last 4 weeks here, and do our best to eat clean, and do all the training sessions with intensity. If you do, the results will be better than you ever expected. On my first two challenges, there was a distinct improvement in the last three weeks.
Dev--glad to see you back! Why no cardio? I know it sucks, but remember it's only 20 minutes, our shortest workout! My cardio will have to wait until after work at 9 pm tonight, but I'm looking forward for it to blow off some extra stress after working.
jacium--happy anniversary! Do you ever think of where you would be now if you never did any of the Challenges? Just another 2 years of still eating bologna and cheese sandwiches?
I switched up my exercises again for these last 4 weeks. I went back to the sitting Leg Curl machine that I haven't done since December. I thought after not using it for 3 months I would be able to lift heavier than when I used it last--wrong!! It was still a challenge to lift what I did in December. I could not have been working that area well enough these last 3 months. I know that whole 'dreadlift' period I wasn't working them enough, but I was using the laying leg curl sometimes and lots of mat, ball, and lunges, and leg press, where those FELT like i was fatiguing my derrier. Maybe when I do cardio, to choose a workout that focuses on hams and butt?
Other than that, I had the whole LBWO done in 40 minutes, lately those have been taking me an hour.
oh yeh, my hubby asked me to hide the sugary snacks in the house. So I did gladly! But when I was throwing out the frozen treats in the freezer... instead I ate them all!!! :( bad bad bad. onward and upward from here!
I also found a copy of "STrength for Life" for $1.50! But I haven't looked thru it yet.
Hey all, I just wanted to drop in to say hello and how glad I am for you all who are still kicking donkey butt! To date I have dropped 15 pounds and three belt notches. However my exercises have been pretty much nil since week seven due to lower back problems. It really sucks because I can feel my muscles all over being much more firm than they have in a long time. I especially like the feel in my abs when I cough or sneeze! Unfortunately I feel it in my lower back as well and it's not as motivating. I also found I'm much more tempted to eat junk when I'm not exercising. It's so much easier to eat right before and after a good workout. Anyhow I've been trying to keep up on what you folks have been writing and it is still helping me to stay focused. I'm hoping to get back to at least some light lifting by early next week, and the cardio is going to be all bicycle work until the lower back is better. Stay positive you all!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Great deal, invitations were beautiful, quick delivery ! Only problem was that the envelopes were too big for the invitation, which was not a big deal but the envelopes would bend."
"Pretty little card. Youthful and fun looking. I changed the ink colour for the details section (ie date,location) to the teal colour as I thought it would be darker and easier to read. It looks great!"
"I ordered these invitations for my upcoming engagement party and they arrived more than a week earlier than estimated! The paper is high quality, not flimsy at all. The cards are actually bigger than I thought they'd be which is very pleasing as you can see the details and wording more clearly. We chose the peachy color and personalized the font (I don't remember the names, unfortunately), and it looks soooo nice. I am very pleased with the order and am excited to mail these invites and hopefully order my save-the-date's wedding invitations from here as well! Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas!"
"We used this card for our engagement party invitations and were very happy with it! It was slightly smaller than expected but still looked really nice. The paper quality was great, and the look of the card was great too. We used the colors and format that was shown. We kept getting compliments from family and friends on how nice our invites were!"
"i ordered these for my tiffany themed engagement party and im obsessed with them ! they are amazing and even nicer in person than they appear online i absolutely love them !!!"

Remember the two competing camps of city-builders, back from the Cities XL review? No? Well, I have a few minutes so you can go back and review.
Back already? Oh good. As I was saying, Tropico 3 is primarily in the Caesar camp – the most important thing is how far your little people have to walk. This makes a lot of sense, as your city is actually Florida an unspecified banana republic somewhere in the Caribbean.
As the beloved leader of your very own island nation you will be presented with many challenges. Some are standard for the genre such as balancing a budget or winning an election. Many are specific to running a banana republic as envisioned in a B movie such as putting down rebels, attracting tourists and exploiting natural resources.
The game itself plays out as a series of scenarios. Each scenario has a primary goal to accomplish and several pitfalls to avoid. For example, a scenario might require you to lure 500 tourists to the island over a span of 20 years while simultaneously avoiding bankruptcy and assassination. Each scenario is scored on several factors and you can submit scores to a central server. This leads to a sort of "high score" competition along the lines of more arcade-style games.
Before you actually run the island you get to choose your characteristics. Male or female? Intellectual or moron? Army leader or pacifist? Each choice can provide benefits or handicaps based on the scenario. A playable set of historical leaders is provided for your amusement.
Then you can begin ruling your country. Tropico 3 has a nice set of overlays to help you determine the strengths and weaknesses of your island. Taking a few minutes to determine the mineral deposits (e.g. iron, gold or bauxite) and the climate (for growing crops like sugar, bananas or corn) can start you on your way to a basic economy.
You'll start out with some housing, but you'll want more to house the workers for that new gold mine you're building. Of course, if the housing is too far away the workers will not work at the mine, but if the housing is too close no one will want to live there (as the quality of life is low due to it being next to a working mine and all).
The solution is to build a parking garage near the housing and another near the mine. Then, every morning, your workers will get up, walk to the nearby garage, turn into a car, drive to work, and get going. Of course this happens in reverse at the end of the day. Watching the little people go about their business is one of the best parts of the game. They have thoughts and hopes and dreams that you can see by clicking on them. You'll want to do that from time to time to see how you're doing.
So that's great – you have a mine and some apartments and it's all good. Except that all cost money and you're broke. Dang! Turns out most things in Tropico 3 are mined/grown/created for export and the trading ship only comes in from time to time. There is a balancing act to be done between expanding too fast (and spending the money required to do so) and waiting for the ship to come by and getting income.
Of course it is not that simple. Your citizens also want services. Things like health clinics and high schools cost money. And these are not the sort of people to take being unhappy lying down.
Every citizen has political opinions. They each belong to one or major factions (e.g. militarists, industrialists, ecologists, religious and so on) and the things you do can make them like you or hate you. This is one the best parts. Tropico 3 is one of the best games in terms of simulating the way domestic politics actually works. Running a nation is not like playing Civilization, where everybody just does what you say. These factions have identifiable interests and can take (some) action to make you see things their way. Of course they may (and often do) oppose each other, and you can't make everybody happy all the time, but that is part of the game.
So what happens if you fail and enough of them hate you? If an election is coming up they vote you out of office (and you lose the scenario). Otherwise they take to the jungles and become rebels. Not only do rebels not do any work, they will actively attempt to destroy buildings and try to kill you. Yes, you, the beloved El Presidente!
You can build regular police and secret police and an army to oppose the rebels but these all cost money. So you will need to augment your revenue stream. The simplest way is to start manufacturing finished goods. Build a distillery to turn your sugar cane into rum, or a lumberyard to turn your logs into lumber. Of course the environmentalists will hate you but you need the money, right? The tech tree is shallow, but there's not much that can be done with an island in any case.
The other major revenue stream is tourists. If you have some beaches you can lure tourists in to visit. Tourists can really help the economy, but it takes a lot of infrastructure and it will take a while to get things going before seeing a return on that investment.
To really get the money in you will need to build an electric plant. Pretty much everybody hates the electric plant. It's noisy and polluting and hurts both native and tourist happiness. But good luck building a luxury hotel or major factory without one.
Tropico 3 is like that a lot. Every decision you make (what building to build, what immigration policy to put in place, how much education to offer) has benefits and drawbacks. You will spend a lot of time thinking "Is it worth upsetting the nationalists in order to import some foreigners who can help me expand faster?" or "Is it worth making the intellectuals unhappy by squashing the newspaper so that I can keep unrest down?" and the like. The decision itself is clear, the groups affected are clear, and you generally have a pretty good idea of when you can politically afford to do something or not.
The major drawback lies on the economic side. City builders tend to be micromanagers, or at least very interested in the statistics of how the economy is functioning. A few numbers are available to tell you how much some thing has been exported but some important numbers are missing. For example, how many sugar plantations does it take to keep a rum factory fully stocked? How long is the average commute for workers in this factory? What percentage of college-level jobs are filled? Did the last farm I placed clobber the old farm's fields? A lot of information that would help guide planning is not provided.
To some extent the graphics make up for this. They are clear and informative, often providing a visual representation of important game information. It's not enough. You will get tired of the music, too.
Another problem lies in the difficulty setting. It cannot be adjusted. Some players will find it too easy, some too hard, but there is no way to change it. This was a strange omission.
In summary, this is a good city-builder which doesn't sacrifice much depth while providing a bunch of fun. Bursting with too many good ideas to list, plant your tongue firmly in cheek and sail on down.
More On:
Tropico 3
Kalypso Media
A good-looking, surprisingly deep, charming city-builder. Lots of good ideas that make intuitive sense. More than worth the price of admission. Only some minor issues keep it from a higher score.

How do you feel about this Porean class I made for Epees and Sorcilerie
Teleportation Lore: Most Poreans outside of their dimension pursue knowledge about dimensional teleportation. Poreans can add both their Wisdom and Intelligence rolls to saving throws involving teleportation devices.
Build Pressure: Instead of moving in a combat round, the Porean can build pressure. At 1 point of pressure can be built up per turn at 1st level, 2 at 4th level, 3 at 7th level, and 4 at 10th level. The maximum amount of pressure the Porean can store is equal to their level. Any pressure spent on maneuvers is considered lost, and must be regained.
Pressurized Punch: The Porean can expend pressure to gain an attack or damage bonus equal the amount of pressure lost.
Tempest: At 4th level, the Porean can expend 2 points of pressure to gain an extra attack per combat round.
Atmosphere: At 6th level, the Porean can expend points of pressure to reduce the damage of an attack. The damage reduction is reduced by the amount of pressure spent to a minimum of 1 damage.
Gale Bullet: At 8th level, the Porean can fire a bullet of pure air at their opponents. Damage is 1d6 plus pressure expended. The porean must have stored a minimum of 4 pressure in order to launch a Gale Bullet.
Flight: At 10th level, the Porean can release pressure in order to propel themselves through the air. The distance is equal to the amount of pressure expended, where 1 pressure is equal to 1 yard. This distance can be covered vertically or horizontally, or a combination of the two.

Tags: Wallabies, The Rugby Championship, squad
Robbie Deans has announced his Qantas Wallabies training squad for the forthcoming inaugural Rugby Championship featuring NZ, South Africa and Argentina and October's Bledisloe Cup.
27 players have been named in a provisional group with any Reds players being added after their run in the Super Rugby finals is over.
Former Wallaby Greg Marto says he is astonished at the make-up of the squad.
"Why are there so many Waratahs players? The only Aussie team they managed to beat twice was the Rebels," he told Triple M Brisbane.
"Yes, we beat Wales but we would have slaughtered them if they had picked the right team," he added.
Players not considered because of injury: Salesi Ma'afu (Force), Dan Palmer (Brumbies), James Horwill (Reds), Ben McCalman (Force), Wycliff Palu (Tahs), Christian Lealiifano (Brumbies), James O'Connor (Rebels) and Joe Tomane (Brumbies).

Overhauling A GM 4L60-E Automatic
Mountains of Northern Mexico: "Service Engine Soon," said the dash warning light. Oil pressure seemed OK, as did engine temperature and alternator output. Check under the hood: Fluids, hoses, serpentine belt, and maintenance-free battery all OK. Check under the truck: Nothing leaking, nothing dangling.
We headed for the States. By the time we crossed the border and reached the nearest shop that could read the code, the tach was showing 4,000 rpm to maintain 40 mph.
The tech plugged into our Tahoe's computer. "The readout says your transmission is slipping." We didn't need a computer to tell us that.
"How many miles you got on this Tahoe?"
"Odometer says 140,000."
"Well, you didn't do too bad. A lot fail before that, though. We can't overhaul it. We could install a factory overhaul. Probably take a week or so to get it here, plus two days to install. We don't do many of these."
We checked the nearest transmission shop's reputation, called ahead and had our Tahoe hauled on a flatbed 250 miles to Odessa Transmission in Odessa, Texas.
"OK, we got the same transmission as yours, GM's 4L60-E, in stock and could have you out of here by noon tomorrow.
"Or, we could overhaul yours. Take an extra day." Kind of interesting. We decided to have Odessa Transmission overhaul ours.
The next day, our Tahoe was on the lift, and the transmission was on its way out of our 4x4. The overhaul would be done by Steve Beckworth, one of the several brothers operating Odessa Transmission, a family-owned business founded by Earl Beckworth, the brothers' father, in 1956.
We can tell you something right now: This automatic transmission will never work. Look, our Tahoe's transmission has:
* 73 external components
* 65 internal components
* 23 oil seal locations
* 39 internal oil-pump assembly parts
How can this ever work?
Our Tahoe's valve-body maze of transmission fluid channels has 20 bolts to be set and torqued in sequence, as well as seven valves, six solenoids, two oil screens, and one transmission-fluid valve-all of which have to work together in concert in an environment where malfunction of any one component can bring about a cascade of failures requiring a complete overhaul. For that reason alone, we recommend leaving this job to the experts.
On a straightforward overhaul, every part coming out has to be meticulously inspected for contributory causes of failure. Every worn part is replaced with parts that are brand-new, out-of-the-box, inspected, measured, carefully installed, and initially lubricated using a Vaseline-like lubricant that turns to transmission fluid when heated.
As much as component fit and compatibility will allow, each transmission is updated as closely as possible to the current year. Our 1998 4L60-E became a "2006" 4L60-E.
But what about modifications for drag-racing, four-wheeling, and towing? There are two ways to do that. Some aftermarket transmission parts sources such as TransGo produce reprogramming kits and shift kits that a transmission tech can install. Or a transmission tech who is as much an artist as a technician can combine several reprogramming and shift-kit parts with OEM parts he's modified to produce a hillclimber and mud-bogger seldom seen. There are also reprogramming kits to modify many transmissions for "heavy duty" (read: towing) and "competition" (read: drag racing). With a competition reprogram, you can expect greatly reduced gas mileage. At the other end of the spectrum, a skilled transmission tech can modify your transmission during overhaul for increased gas mileage, which when combined with a "fuel-maximizer" torque converter, is said to be able to increase gas mileage up to 15 percent.
With the feds pressing OE manufacturers for ever-increasing fuel economy, the manufacturers have taken many transmissions as far as they can, so your truck's tranny may have already been fuel-economized to its max. In a bid to further boost fuel economy, OEMs have six-speed automatics in the pipeline, and Lexus has already introduced an eight-speed juicebox on the LS460 sedan.

Jim Cipielewski, SEHS Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Reading and Language Arts, will present at the 33rd IBBY International Congress in August, at London's Imperial College.
The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a worldwide, non-profit organization with 77 national sections, dedicated to bringing children and books together. Its mission is to:
IBBY's biennial congress hosts international children's literature scholars and professionals who attend the lectures, panel discussions, seminar sessions and workshops on current congress themes. The IBBY Congress also serves as a frame not only for the General Assembly and other meetings, but also for the presentation of different exhibitions and celebrations such as the Hans Christian Andersen Awards, the most prestigious medal in children's literature, and the IBBY Honour List.
Cipielewski will be presenting "Cinderella: Exploring a Tale's Migration to the American South." While there are numerous Cinderella variants, many are closely linked while others show greater cultural diversity. This paper examines what happened to the Cinderella story as it migrated from the British Isles to the Appalachian region of the United States. What did tellers keep, and what did they change?
In the Department of Reading and Language Arts, Cipielewski has taught many courses including those related to children's literature and children's literacy education, including a special summer course, RDG 570 – Authors' and Illustrators' Art and Craft.

The Wildcats lost the Class 3A, Region 6 contest 35-7 against the team ranked No. 8 in the state by the Alabama Sports Writers Association — as did the Bearcats in Week 3.
And just like when the Bearcats traveled to Etowah County, Saks lost key players.
Saks junior quarterback Cordarius Cooper went down in the first quarter never to return. Backup Chase Johnson went out early in the fourth quarter, leaving Saks to rely on freshman Tre Smith to finish the game.
"Anytime you lose your starting quarterback, it's going to affect you," Saks coach Clint Smith said. "But Chase came in and did great job of running the offense, and we got some good production out of Tre when Chase had to go out.
"Now, we'll just have to regroup."
Cooper threw just two passes, both incompletions.
Johnson finished 2-for-6 for 29 yards and an interception.
Smith said the extent of the injuries to both Cooper, who had an ice pack wrapped around his torso, and Johnson was unknown after the game.
Glencoe (5-1, 5-1) scored on its first two drives and built a comfortable 21-0 lead before the Wildcats ever got on the board.
Quarterback Rhett Norman hooked up with Kimbrell on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 to play in the first quarter to end a 13-play, 61-yard drive.
Seth Noogin took a handoff in from five yards out with 1:08 left in the first to put the Yellow Jackets ahead 14-0 after a Houston Ramer extra point.
Just when things looked as if they couldn't get any worse for the Wildcats, they did.
After Saks' three-and-out possession to begin the second quarter, Glencoe's Chris Tinker fielded a punt off the bounce, found a hole and took it 75 yards to the house to give the Yellow Jackets a 21-0 edge at the 10:55 mark of the second quarter.
"That was big," Smith said. "Our special teams had played pretty well up to that point. Then they go up 21-0."
Tinker's touchdown was the kind of special teams play that escaped Glencoe in its 13-12, overtime loss to third-ranked Piedmont last week. In that game, Ramer missed both of his extra point attempts after going 17 of 18 through the first four games of the season.
Friday, Ramer was 5-for-5. He also carried the ball 17 times in a backfield that went without leading rusher Austin Brown, who was sidelined with an injury.
"Special teams was huge for us tonight," Glencoe coach Lee Ozmint said. "Obviously, Tinker's run was huge. He's a threat to do that every night, but we made all our extra points, and we flipped the field and won the field position battle."
The Wildcats (4-2, 4-2) showed life late in the second half.
Justin Grier picked off Norman at the Saks 43-yard line and returned it to the Glencoe 37. The Wildcats offense carried them from there with a seven-play scoring drive.
Wide receiver Lavontae Thomas made a one-handed catch for a first down, and Mark Wilson's diving catch made it first-and-goal. Brandon's Johnson's 3-yard run with 21.1 seconds to go in the second left the Wildcats trailing 21-7 at the half.
A 47-yard run by Kimbrell and a 42-yard gainer by Noogin set up the Yellow Jackets' final two scores, which came on Ethan Melisano's 2-yard run with 7:47 and Josh Jordan's 11-yard run with less than a minute to play.
Kimbrell had a game-high 78 yards on eight carries.
"They did a good job offensively," Smith said. "They're a physical team and their defense played exceptionally well."
Saks will play hosts to Weaver, while Glencoe will take on Ashville next week.
