"Fantastic car seat, now using it with 2nd baby. Easy…"
Fantastic car seat, now using it with 2nd baby. Easy to fit (we have belted base) and very secure. Lots of 0+ seats only have 3 point straps, Britax has 5-point harness which is very quick to release and secure. The adjustable headrest which is attached to the shoulder straps is an amazing design! One hand to adjust the height with nothing fiddly to thread through the seat.
We have the B-Mobile buggy, which is also fantastic and use it with or without the car seat attached for our toddler and baby.
The car safety tests NCAP use Britax car seats...Read moreLess

"We experienced the same problem with our 4 month old…"
We experienced the same problem with our 4 month old falling forwards in the seat. We contacted Britax and they sent someone out straight away. The problem is with the angle of more sporty seats. The Isofix base is adjustable but only by a Britax fitter. Within minutes the seat was at a better angle. Just waiting to test it out on a longer run. Ten out of ten to Britax Customer Service - could not have been more helpful or nicer.Read moreLess

"i have to agree with the previous review and only…"
i have to agree with the previous review and only wish that i had been able to find some negative reviews of this car seat when i was looking to buy some months ago. i also have noted that my baby looks thoroughly uncomfortable and crunched up in the seat and his head rolls forwards which has meant that one of us has to sit in the back to keep an eye on him and when i take him out on my own i am constantly looking behind to make sure he is ok...i bought one of those headhugger things by sunshine kids which has helped to cushion his head better within the headrest and this has stopped the rolling forward somewhat but do still think that the overall position is too upright and he still looks like his head is too forward nd his chin pushes down towards his chest which obviously can restrict his breathing,- i use this with the isofix base...i had concerns with this seat from the start but before buying i tried it out in the car and it seemed fine and spoke to mothercare britax expert fitters about it...once baby arrived i had concerns that he didn't look right in the seat and took it all to mothercare to get one of their 'expert' fitters again to have a look at it. i was then told that the isofix results in the seat being pushed upwards more so than with the seatbelt fixing - defeats the whole point of isofix. also the car seat harness is really stiff to click shut. wouldn't recommend the car seat there is much better out thereRead moreLess

"After doing hours of research, and spending time with Britax…"
After doing hours of research, and spending time with Britax reps, we decided that our travel system of choice would be the Britax B-Smart with the Britax Baby-Safe plus SHR car seat. We brought our newborn home from hospital in the car seat, and have used it a couple of times since. Each time we use it we notice how uncomfortable she looks in it, as her head slumps forward or to the side. This took a turn for the worse last week, when after a 10 minute journey home, my daughters head was slumped forward, her face had turned blue and she was clearly distressed. Thank God it was such a short journey as any longer like that and who knows what could've happened. We have now had to buy a different seat (a maxi cosi pebble), which is not compatible with the pushchair, so have the added expense of forking out for a whole new system. Please, please do not buy this car seat.Read moreLess

"I thought that this car seat was going to be…"
I thought that this car seat was going to be so brilliant with the single hand release feature and the fact that it fitted onto our travel system without adaptors and from that point of view it is. However I avoid going out in the car on my own as DD's head flops forward in the car seat so one of us has to sit in the back and hold her head in. When travelling without my husband I need to stop every few minutes to put her head back into position. We use the isofix base which does seem to tilt it forward somewhat. I have rated this car seat 1 for value for money as we are so concerned for the safety of our daughter that we are going out today to buy the Maxi Cosi. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR SEAT.Read moreLess

I would not recommend this car seat. Our daughter always looked uncomfortable in it and her head would flop fowards all the time. One of us always had to sit in the back to make sure her head was ok. The problem seems to be that the ISOFIX base tilts the seat forwards so it is not reclined enough to stop the head falling forwards and also the seat seems more upright that it should be for young babies.Read moreLess

"This is a fantastic carry cot that doubles up as…"
This is a fantastic carry cot that doubles up as a car seat. It is very easy to get in and out of the car and on and off the pushchair base. It is great as a carry cot and superb as a car seat as baby is flat and so long journeys only need to be interrupted for feeding. Our daughter slept for many hours in this in the car on her first long journey at 3 weeks old. It is supposed to last until 6mths/10kg, but sadly our daughter is very long and looks as if she will outgrow it well before then. The only other downside is that it takes up 2 car seats and although an adult can sit comfortably next to it in the back of our golf you cannot fit a second car seat in so if needed to transport a second child they would need to go in the front. It scored well for safety in a which survey I saw and it certainly feels very robust and has a 3 point harness and roll bar. The new born insert (buy separately) was handy until she weighed approx 10lb. Can also buy a raincover separately. Note it is a little heavier than the average car seat, but as it attaches so easily to the pushchair base I don't find this an issue as I don't carry it over long distances, but if you had to carry it up stairs etc regularly it might not suit you.Read moreLess

NB. The Britax Rock-a-tot was replaced by the Britax Cosytot which has now been re-named Britax Babysafe, the Babysafe Plus, which works in conjunction with the Isofix base and the Babysafe Plus SHR which is also compatible (without extra fittings) with most Britax pushchairs.Read moreLess

"Definalty recommend the Britax Cosy Tot. Very safe, can be…"
Definalty recommend the Britax Cosy Tot. Very safe, can be used for a long time (my little girl was in there until she was 16 months old) and the ISOFIX base is just fab. No fiddling around with seat belts - just click the seat in. And you know you have the safest option for your baby! Also the ISOFIX base is easy to install - you just have to make sure your car has the option. The cover on the seat is easy to take off and can be put in the washing machine. You can put the seat on the floor and fix it so it doesn't move or have it so you can rock the baby in it. There are quite a few bits and bobs that come with it so you can adjust the seat from little baby to bigger one. It doesn't fit on many travel systems which could be a downside but I have to say I never missed that option. All in all excellent choice and definatly recommended.Read moreLess

"This is my 3rd 0+ careseat and by far the…"
This is my 3rd 0+ careseat and by far the best. I have big babies and my first son was in the 9 months plus carseat as soon as he could sit because he was too big which annoyed me as it's much safer to be sat rear facing. For my second son we had the Jane rebel but by 5 months his shoulders were squashed, then we got this seat which is just fantastic. With the adjustable headrest it gives better head protection and my son is now nearly 10 months and still rear facing even though he's large for his age. The isofix takes away all the hassle and worry from fitting, it's a breeze and could easily be done in 10 minutes. Expensive but you will get more use from it than many others.Read moreLess

An excellent seat. Checked out the Which? guide and this one was a Best Buy. It looks very comfy.
We don't use the IsoFix base (DH's car has IsoFix, mine doesn't) but still found it easy to install after a bit of practice.
It is quite heavy. I found it difficult to put it into shopping trolleys etc. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.Read moreLess

"I cannot praise this product enough - has served us…"
I cannot praise this product enough - has served us well up to 9 months and would have gone on a lot longer if bubs wasn't a porker. Easy to get in and out of car when baby is tiny and can take baby to the seat once they are too heavy to lift in the seat. Also has a lovely rocking motion when out of the car so can soothe an irritable child. We went out for many meals with baby sleeping peacefully in the seat when she was small. Seat is really solid feeling and there is virtually no movement when installed unlike some seatbelt fitted seats. We bought an extra base so we could move the seat between cars without the hassle of moving the ISOFIX base unit. Overall well worth the money.Read moreLess

It is alittle more pricey than some but we were more than happy to pay more for the isofix system as the seat now feels so secure and once fitted the seat just clicks in and out.Read moreLess

Flipping heavy when it's got a 22lb baby in it - but otherwise brilliant! The Isofix is so easy to use - and it's okay with a seatbelt too. And you can't beat it for safety, which for me is the most important thing.Read moreLess

The isofix base is easy to fit and makes the seat very safe, we use the seat without the isofix as well which also appears to be safe but as safe as with the isofix base.Read moreLess

"Although this car seat is certainly not the cheapest around,…"
Although this car seat is certainly not the cheapest around, I strongly recommend it to anyone who has the isofix points in their car. Having just bought a new car, I was very concerned when I could not get any first stage car seat to fit properly. All the ones with bases, that remain in the car wobbled, all the ones without had 'buckle crunching' (where the seat belt buckle rests on the edge of the car seat frame and would shatter in an accident).
I tried this base in my car, it fitted with great ease, it comes with guides so that the metal parts that clamp onto the isofix points do not damage your car seats, especially useful if you have leather seats. Once in, it does not move at all. The car seat simply drops on top and locks into place, again with metal fixings, which I feel are more secure.
On the Britax website, you can check which cars the base will fit, believe me, it's a very long list!
The seat itself is lovely. Very padded, it has a removable wedge shaped cushion in the bottom to prevent your newborn being all scrunched up. The adjustment for the harness could not be more simple, there is no more unthreading straps, moving them up a hole and re-threading them, it's a simple sliding mechanism that allows very quick and easy adjustment.
It is compatible with the Voyaga Ultra pushcair, to make a very practical Travel System.
I also like the reassurance that it's from Britax. I always use their car seats. I agree it is expensive, but it's the most secure seat I've tried, I trust the make, it's a travel system and I feel that warrants the price. (I actually bought the base on e-bay, I paid half the shop price for a brand new base).Read moreLess

Isofix is brilliant, expensive but you can't put a price on the safety of your little one. It was easy to fit and the base makes getting it in and out of the car very easy.Read moreLess
"Expensive compared to other car seats but unfortunately there seems…"
Expensive compared to other car seats but unfortunately there seems to be little choice of isofix seats for this age group.
However once installed, the flexibility & ease with which you can slot the seat in & out of the car is superb. Full confidence that the carseat is safely & correctly installed without faffing around with the seatbelt each time.Read moreLess
"This is wonderful car seat and so, so, so, so…"
This is wonderful car seat and so, so, so, so easy to use - and easy to use CORRECTLY! The only thing I dislike about it is that the Isofix base unti can't be belted into the car, so in a car without Isofix you have to belt the seat in (still feels really solid though). Bigger than the maxi cosi, so DD1 was in it till 1, but also therefore a bit on the heavy side. I leave it in the car and take the baby to it.Read moreLess

We stayed three nights at the Norman Inn and found this bed and breakfast just right for our needs. Our room was private and confortable, the bathroom is large with a tub and shower stall.
Lois is very nice, helping you out with directions, leaving you a nice array of breakfast foods, and unobtrusive. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the inn to anyone wanting to stay at a small bed and breakfast. The Norman Inn is a good value and good location for touring Sarasota.

I have collection of custom objects(assets) which I want to group with LINQ. Custom object has standard properties like id, name and cost property. When grouping I want to calculate cost for each group, so I'm using little trick like this:
from a in assets
group a by a.AssetId into ga
select new Asset()
AssetId = ga.Key,
Cost = ga.Select(gg=>gg.Cost).Sum()
Ok, everything is fine here. But...in order to initialize order properties as well, I'm using copy contructor and cost calculations together...
from a in assets
group a by a.AssetId into ga
select new Asset(ga.FirstOrDefault())
AssetId = ga.Key,
Cost = ga.Select(gg=>gg.Cost).Sum()
So now, I get collection of grouped assets by id, with all properties copied from a first asset in a group with calculated grouped cost. But...in order to do that I need to write for every object that using this kind of grouping, a copy constructor with 'all properties initialization' which in my case is overhead because there are objects with 20+ properties.
I've tried to use clone trick from a link:
in linq group query but with no success.
My question: is there a better/more elegant way to accomplish this?
Thank you

Fidget's looking very healthy there
This is cyclamen coum https://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/profile.aspx?PID=589
Yours look more like Cyclamen persicum which are used as colourful early winter bedding - they're not usually winter hardy but we've not really had any frosts so lots have survived through to spring. I'd leave them to die down where they are and they'll flower again next early winter - if we have a cold winter you'll probably lose them then.
When I was a child we had a kerria growing through a pretty pink rose with viola odorata below - probably not planned that way but lovely
Could that be Snow in Summer - Cerastium tormentosum?
Good relocation A weed is just a plant growing in the wrong place
Wait until next month - I'll be starting my tomatoes off in mid to late April on the dining room and kitchen windowsills which are east facing and as soon as I dare I'll transfer them to the little growhouse outside which I'll have to fleece or bubblewrap if we get a bad cold snap.
For a What to do When guide, have a look at the top of this website - it has a What to do now section which is helpful, although if you live to the north of the UK you'll probably find you need to be a week or two later than the timings shown.
I'm well thanks Ryan - and you?
The furlong bit confuses me - a furlong is over 200 metres but we'll presume you've got a reasonable depth of soil
I once had a very similar garden to yours. I grew runner beans, lettuce, swiss chard, courgettes, various herbs and strawberries in the ground and tomatoes, dwarf french beans, carrots, beetroot and tomatoes in containers.
Because of the lack of direct sunlight in much of the garden except in mid summer I tried to find varieties that produced an early crop - that worked quite well.
Get some bags of well rotted farmyard manure from the garden centre and dig it into the soil - it'll be fine
The good news is .....Beetroots and carrots will be fine
The bad news is .... aubergines, peppers and tomatoes need warmth to germinate - are you sure they've germinated outside - they need to be sown indoors on a warm windowsill or in a heated propagator, then potted on and kept warm and only planted out when all risk of a frost is over - even then peppers and aubergines really need to be in a greenhouse and only some varieties of tomatoes will do well outside.
So, I'm afraid you'll have to write them off, put it down to experience and start again, but not just yet ..........
I'm not sowing my tomatoes until next month.........
Nut I was trying desperately to remember when officinale flowers but some things don't come to mind as quickly as they used to

28 year old woman | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking men 25-30 within 50 miles
Hi! On the look out for the right person...
Hello, I was born and raised in San Diego. I attended UCSD for undergrad and pharmacy school. I am Chinese, and come from a rather large family. I am a little quiet and shy when I first meet people, but my close friends will say that I am not quiet once I get to know the person well. I would say that I am very caring, honest, hard-working and career-driven. During my free time, I like to watch tv/movies, read novels, go hiking, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends/family. I would love to go traveling, but don't quite have the time/money for that yet. The top two places that I would like to go visit are Asia and Europe. My friends would describe me as somewhat of workaholic, but I am working on becoming less of one. I am currently a resident pharmacist. My social life is very limited at the moment due to my residency training. I do work pretty long hours, but I am trying to find a balance between my work and social life. I am looking for someone who is hard-working, honest, and faithful. Someone who will be there for me when I need it and hoping that I can be there for the special someone as well. I am in search of someone who I can potentially spend the rest of my life with. I am looking for someone who is career-driven, since it is an important aspect of my life. Because of my career, I find that it is hard to meet people when I spend most hours of my day at the hospital that I work at. This is the main reason why I am trying this out. Hopefully, I will have more of a social life next year when I finish my residency training.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Some of my favorite places are the beaches, boba shops, mall. I have traveled to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Francisco and to the east coast (NY, Washington DC, Boston, Niagara Falls, Canada).
University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA
Music: Asian music, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, basically anything but rap/opera TV shows: Asian dramas, Glee, Once Upon a Time, How I Met your Mother Movies: romance/comedy, but no real favorite all time movie
I like to read novels, watch TV shows, go hiking, and hanging out with friends. I like to try new food.
Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Hunger Games series.

I posted quite a bit last year, but then got busy with school. I'm out now for the summer, so have more time for gardening and playing.
My gardening addiction is just as strong, if not stronger, than ever. I shudder to think how much money I have spent this year on plants and all the things I decided my plants must have.
In addition to (and probably because of) my too-many spontaneous buys of regular price plants, I've also been scouring any clearance plants I can find, and also have had the good luck to be in the right place at the right time for probably 100 free plants. One trip netted me over 75 throwaway free plants (including several perennials), and the number was only limited because I could not figure out how to fit another plant into my car.
The biggest problem I have now is figuring out what to do with them all. I have potted up several into larger, though still small pots until I can figure out where to put them. And I keep randomly buying/collecting more... I often tell people that I think I need an intervention, but no one really seems to believe me.
My work area:
One of my favorite clearance plants:
Anyway, it's good to be back and have the time to spend with my addiction and fellow addicts!!
eta: I have to say that I LOVE that there is now an edit option!

I got home and found out that my new pink hibiscus (bought on clearance) is flowering. I only moved it into full sun a day or two ago, I'd left it in morning sun for about a week after I potted it up.
(it's visible in my first picture about 1/3 of the way over from the left, to the right of the red rake)
Wow! How cool!!! Where did you get the free ones? I'm working at Lowe's for 13 weeks. I've bought alot of cool plants from the sale racks and the cheap ones are only 88-99 cents. My yard looks awesome!! Thank God! It makes me sooooo happy to look out my window and see so many flowers blooming!!

I was using my phone as usual, as i noticed there was brightness slider missing from notification pull-down menu. I immediately checked under: settings-> device -> notification panel ->Brighteness adjustment and setting was checked!
As i became furious, i unchecked and checked that option but it was still missing. At that point i was really upset as this feature is VERY IMPORTANT for me (quick access to brightness). So i rebooted my phone and tryed again, no success. In panic i started checking every thing on my phone, all processes i deactivated (all share play and stuff like that i don't need etc etc...) all defaults than i tought some third party app was to blame for that (many apps can not be removed from notification pull down menu (unfortunately))...
Than i checked if i can adjust brighteness manually in display settings and when i saw that that function was gray (unusable) it hit me... i saw my battery was very low, 3% so i figured this is the reason.
Phone disables the ability to change brightness. Furthermore i couldn't use camera and my music app shuted down at 1% level...
So next time you see brightness slider missing from notification pull down meni, check your battery level... it sure made my heart beat a litle faster...

Asking $10 OBO plus $2 towards shipping for upcycled wool longies made from a comfortably soft sweater. Purchased from a WAHM at an upscale craft market for $30. They would best fit 18-24 months. Minimal wash wear (hand-washed, air-dried), but elastic is excellent and fit is superb. Need lanolizing. PM for photos. Thanks for looking!

DamNation: SXSW Review
The Bottom Line
Handsome eco doc doesn't fully argue its point.
South by Southwest Film Festival, Documentary Spotlight
Ben Knight, Travis Rummel
Ben Knight and Travis Rummel argue that thousands of dams across America should be destroyed.
AUSTIN -- Arguing that America went overboard with dam-building just as we've overexploited many other natural resources, Ben Knight and Travis Rummel's DamNation envisions a naturalist-friendly future in which rivers are once more allowed to flow freely. The well photographed doc (supported by the outdoor clothing manufacturer Patagonia) is better at planting a question in viewers' minds than at defending its position, perhaps assuming that talk of beleaguered salmon populations will be enough to do the job. The already-converted will embrace it at fests -- judging from its SXSW audience award, plenty of viewers fall into this category -- and the film could have a modest theatrical life, but it seems best suited for specialty bookings where conservation groups can rally their troops.
Narrating the film, Knight recalls once seeing dams mainly as a picturesque location for making skateboard videos. Then he found others whose trespassing onto the structures was politically motivated — inspired by Earth First!'s 1981 protest at Arizona's Glen Canyon Dam, where a giant piece of plastic made it seem the dam had developed a crack and was ready to burst.
Knight introduces us to many who'd like to make that illusion a reality -- from white-water rafting enthusiasts to marine biologists and Native American communities. Most of the film's focus is on salmon, whose migratory cycles are disrupted by dams, necessitating costly preservation programs and man-made hatcheries that may do more harm than good. The filmmakers assume viewers already lean toward their side of the argument; though they acknowledge the reasons behind dam construction (hydroelectric power being chief among them), they don't make much effort to pit conflicting values against each other with statistics or a devil's-advocate argument.
The film's history of dam building in America is a little too brisk, making time for a long section on the project at Glen Canyon. Here, Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Floyd Dominy, who served from 1959 to 1969, is depicted as a villain who was blind to the wealth of ancient artifacts and ruins (not to mention natural beauty) that would be wiped out by his man-made lake. Katie Lee, now 94, is the film's most engaging and entertaining voice, recalling her time with a small team of archaeologists sent to gather artifacts before the dam's construction. Home movies she and two male teammates shot depict a Terrence Malick-like idyll, more than explaining the anger Lee still harbors against those who destroyed the site.
Knight and Rummel proceed to chronicle efforts to identify and remove dams that have outlived their usefulness or should never have been built. They risk arrest to capture spectacular demolition footage and, predictably, tag along with activist vandals on a daring nighttime raid at the Hetch Hetchy dam. Closing scenes suggest that policymakers are increasingly friendly to anti-dam groups, leaving DamNation simply to cheer the movement along.

Feeling bad about the rats is fine, it's normal.
But it's disingenuous to say they want to burn animals for a living. What they do for a living is try to build a device that could save many lives and help many more reduce their suffering. They are required to test them on animals before humans, it's part of the job. It's not a part of the job they like, but it's necessary so they do it. Could there be a sadistic few? Sure, but it's unlikely. There are far easier and better paid jobs that allow you to be sadistic to animals than research assistant at a lab. Rats are cheap, you can buy or even catch all you like. Getting your PhD to satisfy your sadism toward rats is taking things a bit far.
I would guess that most of them feel bad for the rats as well. But they can justify it with what they consider a higher purpose, reducing death and suffering. It might not be justifiable to you, but it is to them. It doesn't mean they like doing it.
And I respect your opinion if you don't think it's worth it. Just please recognize that both sides of the argument have merit, and don't assume those that think differently than you on the issue are amoral or hate animals, but probably only disagree with you over which is more important.
That's a great point. Humans are exactly like mice.

Technology Transfer Activities
What is Technology Transfer?
Technology transfer is the process of spreading information, knowledge, and expertise to the broader society in order to accelerate innovation; advance the Nation's economic, social and environmental well-being; and increase its economic competitiveness. It also includes the process of increasing the availability of and access to tools, equipment, devices, objects, techniques, systems and methods of organization that embody such information, knowledge and expertise.
Why does the Department of the Interior Undertake Technology Transfer Activities?
The FY 2014 enacted budget for the Department of the Interior (Interior) included $828.4 million for research and development. Much of the funding was for applied research ($665.7 million), while basic research and development received $52.2 million and $110.5 million, respectively. The programs supported through these funds generate large amounts of knowledge, information, and technology, which help Interior meet its mission objectives and are transferred to resource managers, stakeholders, and the general public.
Technology transfer enables the nation to get more value for the resources it makes available to the Department's scientists, engineers and technical personnel. For Interior, the term includes a broad range of activities designed to disseminate scientific and technical information and knowledge between the Department and other Federal and non-Federal entities. It includes but is not limited to publications, exchange of scientific and technical information, protecting and licensing intellectual property rights, and sharing via technology transfer agreements sanctioned by law—or otherwise making available—for scientific or technical purposes the expertise and specialized scientific material and resources which the Department manages.
In general, technology transfer activities within the Department are consistent with its mission to protect and manage the Nation's natural resources and cultural heritage; to make available scientific and other information about those resources; to honor trust responsibilities to Tribes; and to supply energy for the future.
Technology Transfer Activities within Interior Bureaus
Each bureau within Interior has its own set of technology transfer activities. Currently, only USGS and Reclamation have formal technology transfer programs.
This matrix indicates the types of technology transfer agreements the various bureaus use or plan to use.
Recent Accomplishments
The Department continues to build on actions initiated in previous years, to institutionalize technology transfer programs within the Department and to enable all bureaus to more effectively and efficiently implement the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 and related legislation while maintaining focus on their missions. Actions include:
- Developing a new Departmental Manual chapter that will establish Department policies and procedures for implementing and administering technology transfer agreements.
- The Department's scientists, engineers and technical personnel published over 7,500 reports, books, fact sheets, and other publications in FY 2014.
- Engaging in 601 Cooperative Research & Development Agreements (CRADAs) and over 290 other collaborative R&D relationships in FY 2014.
- Disclosing 5 new inventions in FY 2014. In addition, three patents were filed and two patents were issued.
- Managing 15 licenses for inventions and other intellectual property during FY 2014.
Additional details are contained in the latest annual report.

Chiefs looking at SBW for 2015

Sonny Bill Williams is unlikely to return to rugby union in 2014, after the conclusion of his one-season contract with NRL club Sydney Roosters this year, Chiefs coach Dave Rennie says.
Williams, who won the 2011 IRB Rugby World Cup with the All Blacks, played a major role in the Chiefs' 2012 Super Rugby title-winning campaign, and he has spoken about returning to play for the Waikato team in the future. Rennie is confident of luring the 27-year-back to New Zealand in the future - just not for 2014.
"There's certainly no talk about us trying to drag him back across the Tasman next year although that would be really good," Rennie said after the Chiefs caught up with their former team-mate in Sydney as they prepared for the Super Rugby match against New South Wales Waratahs on Friday night.
"I reckon there's a good show of getting him back in 2015 - World Cup year. There's a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then, and who knows? He may love his return to rugby league and it might be hard to prise him out. But he's always up for challenges, Sonny, so a World Cup would be a good opportunity to try and lure him back. And if he certainly comes back to rugby, he'd definitely come back to the Chiefs, so we're keen to see that happen. He was a massive part of our group last year. He loves the boys, so it was good having him around."
Rennie, meanwhile, hopes Richard Kahui will have a Williams-type influence on the match after moving the All Blacks player to second five-eighth this week. "That's the plan," he said. "Richard's made a bucketload of line breaks in the last two weeks."

Above is a series of magnetic resonance images of a computer hard drive (2.5 x 2.5 micron) that was taken using our NV-based scanning probe magnetometer. The dark contours correspond to a decrease in the NV center fluorescence that occurs when the NV spin is brought into resonance with an applied microwave field at a fixed frequency. The magnetic field produced by the hard drive introduces a Zeeman shift to the NV spin resonance, thus these dark contours represent lines of constant magnetic field. Each image corresponds to a different microwave frequency and thus a different magnetic field amplitude.
