Bill Medley 100%/Soft & Soulful
CD (Item 596929) MGM/Real Gone, 1968/1969 — Condition: New Copy
A pair of classics from the great Bill Medley – pulled from his key early years on his own! Bill Medley 100% a surprisingly wonderful little record – and a real testament to the blue-eyed soul of Medley! The set's a solo outing that has Bill stepping away from his fame as a Righteous Brother – but almost sounding even better on his own, with a depth of soul to his vocals that's really amazing – echoes of Ray Charles, Jerry Butler, Chuck Jackson, and other 60s greats – served up with a surprising lack of cliche – at least in comparison to folks who tried this sort of thing in later years. Bill Baker serves up some sparkling arrangements for the set – and titles include "Brown Eyed Woman", "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You", "Let The Good Times Roll", "Show Me", "One Day Girl", and "That's Life". Soft & Soulful is a record that really has Bill Medley deepening up his groove – moving past some of the more standard soul music modes of earlier efforts, and stretching out in a rich tapestry of modes that clearly sets the scene for soul singers in generations to come! There's still a strong dose of 60s soul in the mix here, but the arrangements complicate things nicely – and bring in this "adult" approach to the music that no doubt went back from Medley's mainstream presence to have an influence on other soul singers as well – kind of a template for more mature modes that would show up more strongly in the 70s. Medley wrote some of the tunes on the set himself – which further deepens the personality of the record – and titles include "Winter Won't Come This Year", "Peace Brother Peace", "100 Years", "I'm Gonna Die Me", "Softly", "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby", "Any Day Now", and "Street Of Dirt". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

"Better Living Through Simplicity."
The Small House Society is an outreach of the ResourcesForLife.com Housing Resources Group. We are a cooperatively managed organization dedicated to the promotion of smaller housing alternatives which can be more affordable and ecological.
Media Coverage. Our work and that of our members has been featured by CNN, National Public Radio, the New York Times, Better Homes and Gardens, the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. [More...]
Mission. Our desire is to support the research, development, and use of smaller living spaces that foster sustainable living for individuals, families, and communities worldwide.
Summary. The Small House Society is a voice for the Small House Movement. The movement is the result of concerns about what we are doing to the environment, and what the environment is doing to us (wild fires, flooding, hurricanes), as well as a shifting economy and technology that allows us to live abundant, yet smaller, lives.
Radio Interviews. Audio is now available for recent interviews with Gregory Johnson on ABC News Australia, Iowa Public Radio Book Reading/Interview, KRUU FM, National Radio in Ireland, and Public Radio Interview with Ben Kieffer from February 2007.Some among the movement desire to live simply so that others can simply live. Because of this, architects and builders are now providing smaller housing alternatives. The increase in websites, books, and magazines about small houses reflect the movement's growth. Small house dwellers include those who have moved into a smaller space or made better square feet per person use of the space they have. Members of our group might include families of five happy in an arts and crafts bungalow, multifamily housing in a variety of forms, and more extreme examples, such as people on houseboats and in trailers with just a few hundred square feet around them. Size is relative, and mainly we promote discussion about the ecological, economic and psychological toll that excessive housing takes on our lives, and what some of us are doing to live better. It's not a movement about people claiming to be "tinier than thou" but rather people making their own choices toward simpler and smaller living however they feel best fits their life.
Small House Society Newsletter. Signup for our free newsletter by visiting the subscription page at Yahoo Groups where you can also read past newsletters in the archives. Recent newsletters are now posted on our website. You can also subscribe by sending a blank e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com or you can enter your email address below and click the Join Now button to be notified when the latest Small House Society newsletter is available.
Video – Small House Society Introduction. Below is an introductory video to the Small House Society and the Small House Movement. The video is available on Blip.tv, Vimeo.com, and YouTube. Click on the HQ option below, if available, for high quality video and audio. Click here for an additional video answering some common questions.
Media Inquiries. We welcome inquiries from members of the media seeking to report on the small house movement and trends toward simpler more sustainable living. Please contact us and a member of our support team will respond as soon as possible.
Before Contacting Us. We regularly receive many requests by e-mail, phone, and postal mail asking if we design homes, build homes, offer house plans, or have printed literature to mail out. For these things, you'll want to directly contact the designers and builders listed on our Resources Page. Our website has received as many as 70,000 hits in a single day. So, as a non-commercial organization, it isn't possible for us to personally assist every individual who wants help with smaller living. What we try to do, is provide information and resources online that can help thousands of people find what they need through our website. We also work on the various initiatives listed on our Membership Page. For additional assistance, please consider subscribing to our monthly newsletter and/or joining our online discussion group and posting questions there. Thanks for your understanding and support.
Small House Society Founders – Featured Resources. Small House Society founders Jay Shafer, Shay Salomon, Nigel Valdez, and Gregory Johnson offer the following resources as a good place to start your journey toward simpler, smaller, and more sustainable living.
- Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. Small House Society Co-Founder Jay Shafer offers pre-built homes for purchase as well small house plans, books, workshops, media coverage review, newsletters (sign-up on main page), a press kit, and online resources for simpler and smaller living.

Small House Society Co-Founder Gregory Paul Johnson manages the Resources for Life.com website offering a wealth of resources and tools for simpler, smaller, and more sustainable living.

I need an AUX adapter for the factory stereo in my 05 Camry. I know about my options (but open to suggestions as long as it starts with a toyota cd changer port and ends w/ RCA or 1/8" and doesn't involve FM) , I just don't know about availability. I'd like to put it in this weekend if I can get it locally, but if I can't, I'd like to go ahead and order it. Can you buy these types of manufacturer-specific adapters at Circuit city or best buy (or any local audio stores), or would they have to order it as well? Because if they have to order it, I'll just order it online tonight. I'm impatient. I did read on a forum somewhere that a guy got one (actually for an 05 camry) at circuit city. But I can't get the car audio dept to pick up the damn phone.
Has anybody had experience with buying these things in-store?

Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens Band (aka BB & Q Band)
LP (Item 15870) Capitol, 1981 — Condition: Used
One of THE 80s groove classics – an excellent album that never gets old! The BB&Q Band had a tight outta site style that was the best small combo 80s version of 70s mainstream funk – sweetly jazzy, thanks to some really spacious production, and filled with lots of hard-stepping guitar, bass, and keyboard bits that propelled the tunes with snappingly catchy rhythms throughout. The group's classic cut "On The Beat" best sums up their appeal – as it's one of those post-disco tunes that gets back to basics, but still really moves the crowd out on the floor. It's got a very catchy hook, as do most of the cuts on the album – and titles include "Don't Say Goodbye", "Starlette", "Time For Love", and "I'll Cut You Loose"! (Cover has a bit of light wear.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

You might want to look at a library like SFML after you have studied c++ for a while.
Currently using Blender and Unity.
Posted 19 May 2012 - 02:53 AM
Run through this tutorial. It creates a simple game, teaches you a bit more about C++ and like fireside recommended, uses SFML.

Hershey's Simple Pleasures Offer Low-Guilt Chocolate Enjoyment
Hershey, Pa.-based Hershey Co. launches Hershey's Simple Pleasures, creamy chocolates with a rich crème-filled center containing 30 percent less fat than average milk chocolates, and the first new brand from Hershey since 2007.
Available in three varieties — Milk Chocolate with Chocolate Crème, Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Crème, and Milk Chocolate with Vanilla Crème — they are individually wrapped for easy portion control in a 24-count, 5.6-oz. stand-up bag. Each serving size, which includes six pieces (each about the size of a quarter), has 180 calories with 22g of sugar, compared to a Hershey bar which has 210 calories and 24g of sugar.
According to a recent survey of 1,000 women conducted by The Hershey Co., 58 percent would love to savor their chocolate without guilt. Other findings include: Eating certain foods is the No. 1 source of guilt (58 percent), more than sleeping in (19 percent) or watching too much TV (28 percent); At least one in five women feel guilty about things they do for themselves, including shopping (24 percent) or pampering (22 percent). And by declaring independence from guilt, women would feel the sweet sensations of motivation (72 percent), energy (70 percent), excitement (65 percent) and empowerment (64 percent).
"We know people love chocolate and want to live a balanced lifestyle," says spokeswoman Anna Lingeris. "With Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolates, our goal is to give chocolate lovers a reason to celebrate because they can finally have it all ... delicious chocolate they can feel great about loving."
Suggested retail price is $3.79.

Well, looks like you guys don't have new blood since 14 March 2011 so I decided to stop by and say hello
My quest to find ERR first started long ago when I started to be sick of all the pop music on the radios. I understand why radios only play pop and general rock (at best) - it's what most people like to hear and it's the one thing that gives them profit and money. I've been in several studies for pop musics and after the 6th try it kinda became obvious (the user tests made by them also get boring after some time lol).
Anyway, after that I decided to start listening to a 80s music radio (playing music from 70-80-90). That was my main radio for a long time. There I met some great masters of rock like "Dio", "Black Sabbath", and good old classics like "Eye of the Tigger" (we all remember this one right?). However, after a few months I concluded that radio was not metal enough for me, so I decided to search on the internet for rock radios. I found a few symphonic rock radios and so far this is the one I like the most.
Hope you liked my super common story !
(PS: I still think we don't get enough oldies ... like "Holy Diver", but that's my opinion

Hi everyone,
I'm Sarah, 25, from sunny England. Damnation Angels pointed me here!
Since I started listening a couple of weeks ago I've ended up buying several new albums (Beyond the Bridge, Krypteria, Powerwolf, Xandria, Amberian Dawn, LORD), so a big thanks for introducing me to some great new music!

Nozzi, great to hear that Damnation Angels sent you here. :-)
Mark my words... I'm here to tell you, as long as
Damnation Angels
stays together, they are going to become one of the HUGE names in the symphonic metal scene. Big like Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, and Nightwish. Trust me on this one. We literally get sent
of debut albums looking for airplay every year. None of them,
, has been as good as

I swore not to do an introduction but I guess if am going to hang around Id better, I dont like the anonymous thing myself. Well my name is Nathalie and am from Switzerland and am an old rock girl
. To tell you the truth I thought Id leave after the couple of weeks realising how young everyone was, I didnt want to pass for a weirdo "hanging out" with students
and then found that it was rather nice being here.
My music genres include,but not limited to, (youll be wondering what the hell am doing here) primarily, classic rock, classic metal/hard rock, prog rock, THEN hair metal, power metal , some thrash, some folk, some prog, but am afraid symphonic metal is not really my thing and dont think Ill get into Kami as you call them. But my number one band would probably be Pink Floyd and the rest following closely, Sabbath, anything to do with Dio, Deep Purple, Maiden, Scorpions and loads more but also Megadeth, Metallica etc Am very fussy about my music and hate loads of stuff in the various metal genres.
I actually discovered new good stuff here, for example I discovered the Lord of Mushrooms purely by selecting the band for a request because of its name and wondered where they had been all my life, bought two albums since, the name is soooooooooooooo me, oh yeah of course am into the 60s psychedelic stuff too although I dont listen to it much anymore. And Vuurbos introduced me to Iron Fire and I quite like these guys, got one album straight away too and may get another one but will play each song here first from it. Well I suppose I am here more for the chat than the playlist when listening to music and not doing anything else with my hands (except Saturdays/holidays when I have a glass of something in one hand) even if I may listen to something else some of the time its like having company (other than my husband that is, I mean after 20 years you run out of stuff to say
About me other than music, I love fine food and champagne and bears, and am completely nuts about panda bears, so just humour me when I start posting panda pics
, in fact I stalk them on a couple of pandacams. Am also a bit of a party animal, and as it's difficult to find the right club anywhere, I decided to turn my garage at my holiday place into a priate bar/discotheque.

Many of us here are not "young" at all
it largely depends what time of the day you're around as to who else is.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Aldwin. I'm only 15 years old
). I'm from Philippines. I'm at 4th Year Highschool and planning to become an I.T.. Symphonic, Progressive and Power Metal Bands are my interests. I'm best at MMORPG and DotA =). I have a Youtube channel that creates videos about gaming, and some song lyrics.
I've been listening to ERR for about 1 month and 3 weeks from now. I love symphonic metal coz its like a little orchestral and has a soothing sound. I've been looking for a radio that has symphonic metal for a long time and bingo! I have found ERR. My favorite bands are Rhapsody of Fire, Luca Turilli, Angra, Damnation Angels, DragonForce, Masterplan, Heavenly, Warmen, Nightwish and Within Temptation. I discovered many awesome bands coz of ERR like Kamelot, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater Sonata Artica and many more!
For me music is essential to my life. Without it, I might die. That's all I can introduce, thank you for passing by..

Hello everyone. Thought I would post here since I have been listening and enjoying ERR for probably well over a year now. I can't remember how I originally found the station, I think from shoutcast maybe. Or searching internet radio stations at work trying to find something better than Pandora to get me through the work day.
Well anyway my username is Booey, my real name is Jackie. I'm 31 years old and live in Virginia, USA. I've been a metal fan probably since late teens. Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania all there really was to listen to was country music so that's what I was in to, until I saw the light! Started with Metallica I think, and Iron Maiden of course, and hair/glam bands. Then my older brother introduced me to symphonic & power metal with Nightwish and Blind Guardian (now two of my top favorite bands), and also to prog like Dream Theater. Now I just very much enjoy finding new bands and sounds, there is always something different to find. That's what I really like about ERR is that it has such a huge catalog every day I am finding something new and it's freakin awesome!
Metal, and also music in general (if it is good!), to me is like something that feeds my soul. I can't tell you how many times I have been down and all that kept me going was a song. There is nothing like being a part of a crowd at a show everyone singing with the song, it is like being a part of something greater than yourself. Or finding that song that you can listen to 50 times in a row and not be tired of it, or EPIC 12 minute long songs :-) . Especially lately it has been something to help me through life- the day after I bought the new Nightwish album my father passed away unexpectedly. Listening to the new album ended up being something that helped me not come completely apart, because it was a connection to something normal when it was feeling like nothing would ever be the same again.
Well not to close on a depressing note, Nightwish is also there for the good times too, my husband and I's first dance at our wedding was to The Islander. There ending with something happy! Thank you ERR for being so awesome, I hope to be able to keep listening for a long time and maybe chatting with some of you in the shout box. Up the Irons!

Hello everyone, I just registered hoping to share my love for progressive rock!!! Wish I was musically talented, but my keyboard of 3 years is sitting idle due my lack of determination.
I really admire those of you who have spent the time to learn and progress in your musicianship.
Love listening to this radio network, I found it on my new phone through the mobile app Tunein. I just discovered the great band Voyager and heard it on this station, so thought I'd post a quick intro saying how much I love this type of music. Keep it coming!!!!

A local surgeon in the Bronx has pioneered a less invasive surgical treatment for scoliosis. YNN's Shazia Khan filed the following report.
"It was hard for me to breathe like when I had scoliosis, because it affected my lungs, and like it was very hard for me to breathe and for me to do fun stuff," recalls Palmer.
Miriam underwent surgery in July to correct her scoliosis. Usually diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which can impact the heart and lungs. Depending on the degree of the curve, surgery may be necessary. Miriam and her family opted for the newer, minimally invasive scoliosis surgery at Montefiore medical Center.
"Minimally gives us the same amount of correction, with actually less pain and less blood loss," says Dr. Vishal Sarwahi.
Dr. Sarwahi pioneered the technique at Montefiore, one of only a handful of medical centers offering minimally invasive scoliosis surgery.
"Whenever you start a new procedure, you want to see how they have done for two, three years. It's been about three years and we've done more than a dozen patients and all of them have done very well," notes Sarwahi.
Standard scoliosis surgery typically involves about a foot-long incision, but the less invasive procedure involves three incisions about an inch and a half long each.
"Because we are preserving nerve supply and blood supply you're preserving the muscles, you're preserving the ligaments. We're long term results, we're taking 10, 20, 30 years we expect them to be much better.
More immediately, it means smaller scars, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery: Two to three weeks as compared to four to six weeks ore more with standard open surgery.
Dr Sarwahi says most teenagers with routine curves are good candidates for the minimally invasive surgery.
As for Miriam, with her surgery behind her, she's looking forward to dancing towards her dreams.

Love these fins!

About Me Professional
Comments about Mares "Volo" Open Heel Fins:
I have had these since they came out years ago. I have purchased 4 pairs but still use the first ones I bought(full foot fins, larger ones for dry suit, etc). They are great for photographers who need power but can't hover with split fins. I am also able to frog kick in them which is mostly how I swim.. Full foot model run slightly big though and I do get blisters from them. These are by far the best fins I have ever used; they feel very natural on. My only compalint is that I wish they were a little more negative since my feet tend to float..

Like a pleasant ride on Autobahn.
By EL
from Taiwan
About Me Divemaster
Been using them for 150+ dives. With advantage of working at dive operator, I've tried and compared other makes and types; Volo Power is a good compromise among all aspects if you are not yet sure about your speial needs. These fins feature different flexibilities at differnet parts that respond differnetly to the effort you put in. Quite delicate. Use this feature well and they will make you happy. Like a sports car with auto-shift; Volo Power won't give you impressive 0-60 drag racing result, but will give you a pleasant ride on Autobaun.

About Me Advanced Diver, Recreational Diver, Rescue Diver
I had a pair of Volo's and I traded up to VOLO Power. I installed the Spring straps, the ones that come with the fins are too complicated and do not work that well. I found that I had to change the way I swim, I have to kick more with my hips, keeping my leg straight, using my full leg. As opposed to kicking by bending my knees.
I wouldn't buy these again
By Fatboy
from Savannah, GA
About Me Advanced Diver
I would stick with the Quatros. These are comfortable but feel broken, they are so flimsey and have no power what so ever for any current
Excellent fins!

Henry suspected match fixing after RWC 07 exit
29 Jul 2012
Graham Henry believes the All Blacks were victims of match fixing during the 20-18 quarter-final loss to France in the 2007 World Cup.
In his biography, 'Graham Henry Final Word', Henry revealed that he contemplated match-fixing as the only logical explanation for the All Blacks' upset 20-18 loss to Les Bleus.
Henry analysed the game on video for his report to the NZRU and found Barnes had awarded only two penalties to New Zealand during the game. His analysis was that France deserved to be penalised up to 40 times.
His gut feeling, according to his biography, was that the video 'would confirm that referee Wayne Barnes and his touch judges, Jonathan Kaplan from South Africa and Tony Spreadbury from England, hadn't exactly covered themselves in glory at the Millennium Stadium, that they had missed an obvious forward pass when France scored its match-winning try – a pass so forward everyone in the stadium had witnessed it except the referee – and that Barnes had been pretty lenient on the French at the breakdowns, probably costing the All Blacks the game'.
Henry's video had three different angles and featured statistical breakdowns of lineouts, scrums, penalties, tackle counts, territory and possession. On those statistics, the All Blacks dominated. They had an overwhelming 73% territorial advantage, winning 166 rucks to France's 42 and making only 73 tackles compared with France's 331.
A mind-boggled Henry was so stunned by his findings, he told the NZRU it should pressure the IRB to institute an inquiry. He also said it was 'incomprehensible' that the IRB did not have strategies in place to investigate bizarre matches.
The NZRU chose not to push for an investigation.

30 Jul 2012, 11:51 am@Skeppie-136: You'd possibly need to bribe more than the ref…perhaps a captain who turns down shots at goal in a kickable position during knock-out rugby. Perhaps a coach who substitutes his captain after 50 minutes.
30 Jul 2012, 11:55 am@>^..^< katman-146: I'm pretty sure I saw an article where Henry said the match fixing was what went through his mind first but he since decided it probably wasn't the case. I'll have a hunt for the link.
I half wish he hadn't brought it up but let's there's less racism, political interference, or administrative bumbling in NZ so Henry's bio would be a little dull without some controversy. I hope this doesn't get dragged out like Suzie for 20 years
30 Jul 2012, 11:58 amIn perspective, Walsh gets the final this week and I am glad. Not because he is a great referee who picks up mistakes, forward passes, knock-ons and such, it's because he misses all of them, equally.
In 2007 he managed to miss the skullduggery which lead to Habana's try which ripped out my heart and many will say he also managed to see a try at the other end some minutes before which was not a try.
He is just human. So, I'd rather go with his rubbish than an efficacious, whistle-happy Barnes, Joubert and the like. All of whom seem to bow to local pressure.
I just hope he blows equally poor or good both ways on Saturday, I don't think he's a cheat.
I cannot say the same for Bryce, as kiwis can't say the same for Barnes.
30 Jul 2012, 11:59 am@gonzo-151: Yeah exactly it's not really feasible. In cricket they can easily manipulate the side bets for no balls or wides etc but it doesn't seem possible to fix an entire rugby match
30 Jul 2012, 12:30 pm@>^..^< katman-146:
Not quite clear if this is a direct quote or paraphrased. Or if the last part if tacked on for legal reasons."He momentarily let the thought of match-fixing enter his mind before dismissing it."
Henry solely blames the ref but i think most of NZ accept we were unlucky with injuries, rotation/resting were overdone, and we choked to some degree
30 Jul 2012, 12:47 pmThe more I think about this the more I think we should insititute a board of enquiry.
Lets start with "Get the japies" and Crooked Paddy and work our way down to Brycie and last years World Cup.
30 Jul 2012, 12:48 pm@the artist formerly known as gunther-156: And we might as well chuck in Bakkies and his silly ban against the Lions.
30 Jul 2012, 13:03 pmAnd dont't forget the rampant drug abuse in South African schools…
30 Jul 2012, 13:09 pm@BrumbiesBoy-158: Don't genaralise mate.The problem is mostly confined to Afrikaner-based schools in the Free State and Gauteng areas with Pretoria and Bloem leading the way in this regard.
30 Jul 2012, 13:15 pm@BrumbiesBoy-158: Fark me, to sit through the last couple of seasons of Brumbies rugby, drugs might have been the only option…………
30 Jul 2012, 13:31 pmWhat's all the fuss about. There were dozens of accusations of match fixing on this very forum after the 2011 RWC (some even repeated in this thread), so why is it such an issue that Henry mentions that the same thought crossed his mind in 2007 after a game that is statistically unique in modern rugby history?
Was funny listening to the radio earlier today when they were interviewing one of the selectors from the referees selection panel for the 2007 RWC. After saying how wrong Henry is with his comments, and praising Barnes as a fine referee and all around good guy, he finally had to admit that their own post match 'audit' showed that there definitely was a forward pass for the French try and that there were multiple off sides by the French that should have been penalised. Sort of leaves the question as to why Barnes didn't get the same treatment as Lawrence (who I agree should not be reffing internationals)?
30 Jul 2012, 13:53 pm@stormerforlife1-159: Yeah, that we know of. Would not be at all surprised if it's not all over other areas as well.
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE-160: Yeah, yeah, yeah if it wasn't my birthday today I'd take exception to your comments, mate!
30 Jul 2012, 13:54 pmHe's talking slab out the Tik abuse at your Alma Mater.
30 Jul 2012, 15:37 pm@the artist formerly known as gunther-156:
Not that it will ever happen – because the very people who would control such a thing are the guilty parites themselves – but I agree with your sentiment 110% – and let's make a clean sweep of it starting with Clive Norling's 1981 handover of a win to the All Blacks in 1981 in the 8th minute of injury time with a 10-yds x 3 penalty that put them in front of the posts for a "winning" kick – if they did it then they could do it now … anbd they did and everybody knows it including Richie and the other protected players wearing black.
30 Jul 2012, 16:34 pmJB should we go back to 76′ with old Gerty and the 70 tour?4
30 Jul 2012, 16:50 pmShame ol' Bullfrog Henry. I think you will find that 4 years later the Ref was equally "lenient" on the ABs at the breakdowns that allowed them to win the RWC 11 (by 1 point).
While I do agree the missed forward pass in 07 was shocking, Henry cannot complain about refs! His Ab team won a few games they shouldnt have due to Refs missing infringements and the apparent blindness that refs have for McCaw.
Now Henry knows how the rest of the rugby world feels most of the time! Should we go back to 3Ns 2010 where the Boks and Wallabies were averaging 6 & 7 penalties per yellow card, and the ABs something like (I dont want to exaggerate) over 20????
McCaw getting a "final warning" in the "red zone" 3 times?!Good to know at least one Kiwi knows the feeling of wondering if a match is fixed.
30 Jul 2012, 16:59 pm@bokfan1-166: How many times should someone be penalised for headbutting before they are yellow carded?
30 Jul 2012, 17:01 pmshould we include the 76′ tour and Gertygate in your clean sweep " ja listen boys you can go back to your home I have to live here"
30 Jul 2012, 17:04 pmno we all know the feeling all tours to the republic pre 92 were fixed, no brown skin and cheating refs just ask old Gerty.
30 Jul 2012, 17:12 pmLet's get Paddy under oath sharpish.
And Papa Lawrence.
Could be looking at some time here.
30 Jul 2012, 17:15 pm@the artist formerly known as gunther-170:
dont forget old Gerty
30 Jul 2012, 17:16 pmNothing worse than a bent ex copper.
30 Jul 2012, 17:19 pmIts only fair that Gerty would start the proceedings.
30 Jul 2012, 17:31 pmThey always do the hardest time.
The ex coppers.
Them and the kiddy fiddlers.
30 Jul 2012, 17:46 pmSomething that I do remember from that NZ / France game was that Barnes had the balls to referee Richie McCheat et al appropriately in that game.
It destroyed the All Black game plan because they knew no other way. They should have adjusted and made an attempt to play within the laws. They were too good individually and collectively than the bunch of confused looking shell-shocked All Greys, that day.
I do agree that
*Barnes and his assistants missed the forward pass (when has a game involving Kiwis never involved a few?)
*The penalty count was unfairly and unjustifiably stacked against the All Greys that day (now they know how it feels)
With all of that being said, the Kiwis did not dominate. They were just confused and plained old fashioned choked.
30 Jul 2012, 17:48 pmYep – include Gerty if you like – SA refs don't have a spotless record (arguably) … but it pales in comparison mate to NZ favouritism, particularly in the McCaw era – unbelievable double standards managed by Paddy, Graeme and company.
And Henry complaining about it is like Joe Stalin getting on his soap box and shouting the odds about human rights – just ridiculous.
New Zealand rugby is so magnificent and so is its history – but this is a blemish.
30 Jul 2012, 21:03 pmI think we should take heed from what all the Sth Africans say about match-fixing and cheating referees.
They are, after all, the experts.
Every Sth African I know still praises Hansie Cronje, whilst calling the greatest rugby player of the modern era 'a cheat'.
30 Jul 2012, 22:24 pmSouth Africans respect the following:
Dan Carter
Mils Muliaina
Kieran Read
The Franks brothers
Wyatt Crocket
Tana Umaga
Jonah Lomu
Jeff Wilson
Christian Cullen
Frank Bunce
Ian Jones
and many other great All Blacks.Ritchie McCaw, like his ancestor Sean Fitzpatrick, brought nothing but shame to the pride of the black jersey.
It's good and well to love yourself, but if everyone else in the world thinks you're a worthless cheat, then perhaps you're not "the greatest player of a generation".
31 Jul 2012, 01:54 am@The Donkeys Egg-177: You definetly do not know a lot of South Africans! Your cohort is extremely small!
@YoMama-178: Good post. How did he get IRB player of the year in 2009. Was totally overshadowed by a very young Brussow. I do not say Brussow should have gotten it , but certainly not McCaw -
31 Jul 2012, 03:08 am@Brads-82: the funny thing is the French WERE the most disciplined team of the last decade, it all changed under Laporte where France became a disciplined rugby nation and had fewer red and yellow cards than any other team.
If Henry had bothered to check that he would have found that out, but no, it's easier to go with his bias and the idea he had been cheated. Well he's only cheating himself now, he's gone in a lot of people's estimations.
31 Jul 2012, 04:41 amWhy bother making the distinction between who "Sth Africans respect" and "everyone else in the World", when we all know theyre one and the same.
Go select your team of gougers and then try and tell us the one about the 2 most successful players EVER vs Sth Africa having "brought nothing but shame" on the AB jersey.
31 Jul 2012, 05:34 amQuite interesting to note that Kiwi coaches will hold the World Cup, Tri Nations, Six Nations,Super Rugby, Currie Cup, ITM Cup, Heineken Cup.
Nz produces the best coaches and this is one of the main reasons that gives Kiwis that edge. -
31 Jul 2012, 05:40 am@the artist formerly known as gunther-156:
I think you skipped something.
How about starting at poisoning and gold watches.@YoMama-178:
So you dont respect two players which of one is probably the most successful captain ever, but you will wear armbands for head butting and eye gouging. How about your old coach, he like eye gouging, we all know its not ballet and they dont wear tutus. You think McCaw has bought shame to the AB jersey lol. Jealous much. You guys would love to have him in your team.
Now we will tell you who has bought shame to the AB jersey cos guess what….its our jersey, not yours. Look at your own team before judging the rest -
31 Jul 2012, 05:46 amah big tittys. funny that the French conceded 10+ penalties per game during the 2007 WC yet inexplicably only conceded 2 vs NZ in that 1/4, and then in the semi against your side were back out to 10plus?
that 1/4 is only matched by SAs semi final cheating in 95.
we're world champions, all you sour fckers can complain all you like, its sweet irony, and Im loving it.
31 Jul 2012, 05:50 am@Big Hit-180:
You crawl out your hole and expect us to listen to that??
You seem to be protecting Barnes here. Ask how useless he was when the Boks lost in Ozzie a few years after the RWC 2007.
The guys here called him pathetic.
Barnes reffed badly, although i think he is alot better,still loves being center of attention.
But strange you have made your way onto Keo when its a kiwi that is in the spotlight….the bad spotlight, then in wanders BH. -
31 Jul 2012, 05:52 am@SA rugby is k@k-184:
2007 RWC was rigged.
Are we allowed to say that or is it too close to the copyrighted version of the South African song…The RWC 2011 was rigged? -
31 Jul 2012, 05:58 amHurri
no we can't suggest it, only those who lived off that 1/4 for four years are able to do that
funny now that they feel aggreived it's somehow different? lol sweet justice I say, couldn't happen to a nicer mob really.
why didn't they go for the drop kick? why couldn't they catch the ball with the tryline open?
I think they choked, like their cricket team normally does.
lmfao though, the level of paranoia these poor, conspired against Saffas have make Roswell look normal.

TODAY | November 17, 2012
>>> new jersey governor chris christie is considered a star in the republican party . well now his wife is stepping into the spotlight to help people in her state deal with the aftermath of hurricane sandy. "today" contributing correspondent jenna bush hager recently caught up with her.
>> reporter: more than two weeks ago when sandy hit, the coast of new jersey was forever changed . although the state's first lady mary pat christie has stayed out of the spotlight, the devastation of sandy is personal.
>> our town in particular was devastated as well.
>> reporter: and has changed her role.
>> you really want to focus on the people. i think that we're all kind of inspired by my husband.
>> we're on the road to recovery.
>> and we all kind of are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
>> reporter: together the christies are spearheading the relief fund, a foundation focused on rebuilding the state they love.
>> our goal is really to be there for the long term, and this takes a long time, but i think their spirits need that kind of support.
>> reporter: here in seabright, new jersey, a community washed away by the storm, conner and karen tressa come back to assess the damages of their family-run pizzaria. overwhelmed by the destruction, a comforting embrace. it's empathy that's not hard to comeby. even the governor's family lost power.
>> i think like most new jersians, we probably played more games than we know what to do with. catch phrase became a highlight of our day. but i think that we really were just thinking about the people that were suffering so much more than us.
>> reporter: has it been hard to watch your husband go through, and watching your state be affected the way that this has?
>> it definitely has been. i think that after the 16, 18-hour days and my husband comes home, not only is he exhausted physically, but it definitely is mentally draining, to come and hug people who have lost their life savings and their world really.
>> reporter: if the storm of the century had a starring character, it would be the new jersey governor. you've obviously known your husband for a long time. 26 years, you've been married. but has the way he's led surprised you at all through this?
>> not really, because i've seen him manage situations before that are challenging. he kind of gets a group of people around the table and is very good at listening, but then quickly deciding and delegating.
>> reporter: is it hard to be back at a place where you brought your kids? i mean, you have such family memories?
>> oh, sure. i think people saw the governor at casino pier .
>> i was on that ride with bridget in august.
>> casino pier that was our big night out with the children. my children are small, but that's their childhood.
>> reporter: a doting wife, mother of four and working woman, still finding time to visit the frontlines, providing comfort and long-term support for the citizens she loves.
>> we will rebuild. bigger and stronger.
>> reporter: for "today," jenna bush hager , seabright, new jersey.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In the Meyer household in the 1960s and '70s in Ashtabula, Ohio, it was a virtual holiday when the Michigan-Ohio State game came along each November.
Now Urban Meyer, removed from the rivalry for so long, is back home and an integral part of "The Game."
"This is all I knew growing up; it's all anybody knew," Meyer said Monday as he spoke for the first time about his No. 4-ranked and unbeaten Buckeyes game on Saturday at Ohio Stadium against the 20th-ranked Wolverines.
"In the era when I grew up, there really wasn't much other than three channels on your television," said the 48-year-old Meyer. "There was this game. It was Bo Schembechler, Woody Hayes, Pete Johnson, Archie Griffin. That's all."
Those memories still burn brightly for Meyer, in his first year coaching at Ohio State (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten).
When he ended a year-long hiatus from coaching (he wasn't far away, working as an ESPN analyst) to take over a downtrodden Ohio State program coming off a loss to Michigan, he made a point of hiring coaches who knew how ingrained The Game is in the culture and consciousness of Michigan, Ohio and the Midwest.
"When I put the staff together, I wanted to make sure that I didn't have to sit there and teach people about (the rivalry)," Meyer said. "I wanted this to be close to home. And it is."
Suddenly, The Game has taken on a new tenor. When Brady Hoke — himself an Ohio native — took the Michigan job two years ago, he slammed his fist down repeatedly on the podium as he emphasized that the annual showdown with the Buckeyes would no longer be an afterthought to the games against Notre Dame and Michigan State.
"Growing up in (Ohio) you knew Bo and Woody and the great fights they had," Hoke said on the day he was introduced. "It is the most important game on that schedule. Not that the others aren't important, but it is the most important game on that schedule. It's almost personal." Continued...
Perhaps the ascension of Meyer and Hoke will reinvigorate the rivalry, much like Schembechler's hiring did. Ohio State was coming off a 50-14 victory in 1968 on the way to winning the national championship. Schembechler, yet another Ohio native with deep roots in the rivalry, came on the leafy Ann Arbor campus and reminded his players daily of the shellacking they had taken the year before.
The Wolverines stunned the top-ranked Buckeyes 24-12 in '69, touching off what is commonly called "The Ten-Year War" of games contested between the mercurial Hayes and his former Ohio State assistant.
Meyer took the opportunity to take a not-so-subtle shot at Hoke on Monday.
"He was born in the state of Ohio — which I still don't get," Meyer said of Hoke. "That's another story. But I guess it adds to the intensity."
So the battle lines are already being drawn in a new, updated version of those clashes from 1969-78.
Both sides play silly yet serious word games. Meyer makes it clear that he doesn't want any of his Buckeyes to even utter the word "Michigan" — if they do he sends an icy stare their way. His prefers the phrase, just like Woody did, of "That Team Up North."
Hoke refuses to call Ohio State by its rightful name. He, along with all his players and coaches, instead call it simply "Ohio." That drives the Buckeyes and their fans, who see it as a sign of disrespect, stark-raving mad.
Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner was asked Monday what happens to freshmen who slip up and accidentally say Ohio State instead of just Ohio.
"They don't," he said.
Hoke implemented the rule when he arrived on campus. Continued...
"And, that's just how it is," Gardner said.
Meyer has ordered guests wearing a blue shirt at practice to leave and put on something scarlet. Hoke doesn't allow anyone wearing the Buckeyes' colors inside Schembechler Hall.
Both have placed reminders about the rivalry throughout their training facilities.
"It's not just like another week. The intensity is even higher than it normally is," Ohio State defensive lineman Garrett Goebel said. "There are signs all around the weight room saying 'Beat That Team Up North.'"
Two coaches of the same generation, from the same state, Meyer and Hoke were steeped in the legends and lore of the series, of playing for bragging rights in November and despising your rival the other 51 weeks of the year, too.
They know that winter seems colder and longer for the loser, while the winner's season is looked upon fondly no matter its record.
"UCLA-USC or Alabama-Auburn or Florida-Georgia, everybody has their rivalry," said Meyer, who was the coach at Florida 2005-2010. "This is home. If you ask me what makes (The Game) unique, it's the fact that I grew up in this state, and this is all you know growing up."

Katherine Jenkins
Published at 11:11, Thursday, 07 June 2012
YOU will always have a special place in my heart," Katherine Jenkins told her audience in Whitehaven. "I can't tell you how much I enjoy it here, you always make me feel so welcome."
In a performance fit for a Queen, the stunning soprano gave a magical show on the harbourside, getting Whitehaven Diamond Jubilee Festival well and truly under way.
And her audience of almost 2,000 can consider themselves in very good company as Katherine dashed from Whitehaven after the concert to perform the following day to Her Majesty the Queen.
She told a national newspaper that she had only managed two hours of sleep before preparing on Saturday to sing the National Anthem in front of a crowd of 125,000 at the Epsom Derby, the start of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Whitehaven's concert was the first one the 31-year-old had performed in three months as she has been in America taking part in Dancing With The Stars.
In this return visit to the town, she told her audience: "It's so lovely to be back in Whitehaven. I remember the concert two years ago. Thank you for having me back, last time was such a memorable concert for me." And, against a backdrop of clear blue skies, she asked: "Is the sun always shining in Whitehaven?"
Accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra, Katherine performed a range of songs including Amazing Grace, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Pie Jesu, Shirley Bassey's I Who Have Nothing and Time To Say Goodbye.
The stunning soprano was beautifully – and patriotically – dressed. First in a white dress, then blue and then glittering red before the finale which saw her on stage in striking purple.
Runner-up in Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing, Katherine said she was delighted to be back in the UK. "I had an amazing time learning to dance but it's really lovely to be back home. This is the first time I have sung a concert in three months so I'm very glad to be back doing the day job."
In a genuine rapport with the audience, Katherine read out requests, sang Happy Birthday and one fan even shouted "marry me".
She thanked five-year-old Bethany for her note saying "I love you Katherine" and she also wished Gerard and Dianne Richardson a happy Silver Wedding anniversary – which they haven't had time to celebrate because of organising the festival!
The star enjoyed plenty of chat with her fans including a story about when her mum and auntie visited her in America. They were chatting to Katherine on the phone and then: "I heard a crash, screams and then silence. My mum had driven my convertible BMW into a bus! The car was written off but they were okay."
The crowd waved Union flags and sang along to We'll Meet Again and Rule Britannia. Conductor Anthony Inglis provided great entertainment trying to get the audience to clap in the right places.
For the final performance of the night, the audience took to its feet and joined the star in belting out Land of Hope and Glory.
Katherine added: "I hope I get a chance to come and sing to you again."
TERRY PONTING, chairman of Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners, presented her with a floral bouquet.
ANDREW KEEP, of St Bees, said afterwards: "It was absolutely fantastic, this is so good for Whitehaven, it really puts us on the map." And GEORGE SHORT, also of St Bees, added: "It's such an intimate venue, no matter where you sit the view is brilliant. Gerard Richardson needs a lot of praise for this." They were with ROBERT and CHRISTINE SHORT from Carlisle and JOYCE FREW and MIKE HALLIDAY from France.
ALISON COWLEY, of Ennerdale, was with PAULINE SMITH, of Harrington and JUDITH DAKERS, of Workington. "She sang all of the things I love," said Alison. Judith said: "It was a fantastic performance." Pauline added: "It was small and intimate, absolutely brilliant."
And Copeland MP JAMIE REED said: "It was just amazing to see her perform in Whitehaven – she has a great rapport with people."

"Fantastic, very entertaining"
This was my first book I download with my new "Audible.com" account. I watch Penn on Youtube all the time, and I figured I could do the right thing and buy his book finally. I was SOOOOO excited that it was done in Penn's voice. That made this such a great experiance. I greatly enjoyed this book. It actually isn't all about religion, but it is filled with fantastic stories from Penn's life, told from his perspective religously, politically, morally, ect... Being in his voice was a sure plus.. I am forever a fan and an atheist for life. In fact, I just told my wife our next trip is going to be at the Rio to see his show. I can't wait! Thanks Penn!
"Could not stop listening!"
Seth has a gift. He is a wonder narrator and brings an engaging, interesting, thought provoking audio book for the world to read. This book, although only four ish hours long, (I didn't want it to end).. is very informative and perfectly balanced, easy to listen too, and brings to light how The Thinking Atheist came to be. Religious people take heed: The internet is the new god. Your beliefs are eventually too fade, and science will, eventually, take over as the truth that it is. Seth Andrews is going to help change the world.
Fantastic! Rachel Maddow is a wonderful narrator, (I never watched her show but am going to start now). An insiders look at recent military history, coverups, insider politics, military blunders, private contractors, and the US nuclear weapon arsonal. Literally listened to it in one day. Couldn't "put it down". Thanks for a great , eye opening book Rachel.
"May work for some.... not this guy"
I suppose perhaps this kind of thing helps some people go to sleep, perhaps the same kind of people that can be "hypnotized" on stage at the state fair too. A MUCH better book to put you to sleep is "Atlas Shrugged"., that's what I'm using now, plus it's 60 hours long.
