Smit props up Clermont
26 Apr 2008
Clermont set a club record with a 10th successive win in the French Top 14.
Springbok captain John Smit played tighthead prop for 65 minutes as Clermont hammered Auch 36-15 away from home to retain top spot ahead of Toulouse.
Smit, who has played mostly at hooker this season, told Keo.co.za he was pretty buggered after the tighthead effort, but that playing there could only improve his all-round game.
Springbok centre Marius Joubert, according to reports, again excelled and has easily been the form centre in the competition.
Smit, who was named Bok captain a couple of months ago, may miss the French Top 14 play-offs because of international commitments against Wales in June.
Perpignan consolidated their top four place with an away win against Brive. Percy Montgomery kicked a conversion and two penalties and former Stormers centre Gavin Hume added a drop goal in the 16-7 victory.

26 Apr 2008, 20:54 pmJohn , come home and rescue the sharks.
we need an experienced captain to call the shots… -
26 Apr 2008, 21:46 pmI agree – Smitty , come home. Sharks please give him a big contract as you certainly need him in the team . Lineouts are not good at the moment and there is NO leadership in the team!
27 Apr 2008, 02:01 amForm centre of the competition? hardly. Don't misinterpret, i like Marius Joubert and everything, but he's just not that.
For Smit, he's been playing prop all season. Mainly because there's a better hooker than him in the club: Mario Ledesma (arguably best hooker in the world). But at tighthead he's done well.
I surely think that he'll leave France and go back to the Sharks at the end of the season. -
27 Apr 2008, 11:05 amRomain, now give us your credentials to qualify you to make the judgment you did.
27 Apr 2008, 12:05 pmJohn Smit, best hooker 2007, best Captain 2007, WC winning hooker and captain 2007. Only an idiot would disagree.
27 Apr 2008, 12:48 pm* 5 Loosehead
"John Smit, best hooker 2007, best Captain 2007, WC winning hooker and captain 2007. Only an idiot would disagree."
Then there must be many idiots around because there are numerous people who do not agree that he is the best hooker (unless you mean the best hooker in Natal perhaps). For starters the people at his club in France do not agree as even before his injury he could not make their starting team as a hooker.
You can call people such as Roger Federer and Tiger Woods the best in the world because in their sports there is a. objective ranking system that proves it but in rugby we only have subjective opinions. Those who do not share our opinions are not idiots.
27 Apr 2008, 13:37 pmBoks limited to three overseas players
Sunday Star Times | April 27, 2008 – 6:09PM
New Springboks coach Peter de Villiers has been forced to shut the door on many of the side's World Cup winning stars ahead of this year's international season.
Players like Victor Matfield, Butch James and Percy Montgomery now ply their trade in Europe and the South African board has limited De Villiers to a maximum of three overseas-based players.
World Cup winning captain John Smit, who now plays for French club Clermont, has already been named captain.

28 Apr 2008, 10:50 amI get a sense of déjà vu…our national captain hasn't even landed in SA and the knives are out for him.

The very creative people over at VFILES decided to create a limited edition capsule collection in honor of The Bling Ring. Inside, you'll find shorts provided by Milkfed, a clothing line that Sofia Coppola herself actually used to own. Each pair of shorts (that I could totally see Nicki wearing) has a memorable quote from the movie, which if you haven't seen yet, you must! Also inside are ring pops, an evidence bag, and some extremely cute nail wraps by NCLA exclusively designed for the capsule collection. If you're a Sofia Coppola enthusiast, you'll definitely want to grab yourself one of these packages before they're gone. —Maddie
Head over to Space 15 Twenty in LA this Friday, June 21st, to celebrate the launch of AGENDA WMNS, the women's division of the Agenda Tradeshow you may have heard of. The party will be hosted by Jayne Min of the super rad blog Stop It Right Now and is being curated by Yasi & Jane of Cultist Zine. The fun does not stop there though, guys. You'll also get to see a showcase from Silke of clothing brand Shown to Scale. Lastly, there will be a live performance by Colleen Greene and a DJ set from one of my personal favorite ladies, Jen Clavin of Bleached! The party goes from 7pm-10pm, so make sure you RSVP at firstname.lastname@example.com. —Maddie
(Buke & Gase)
Too many things were happening all over the city this past week. Full blocks, streets, major intersections were temporarily been shut down not just for NXNE but also for food, arts festivals, and Psy-hosting, Taylor Swift–attending award shows. Here's what went down! —Carmel
The National played a free show at Yonge-Dundas Square, steps away from our flagship store! Crowds were spilling out everywhere, so it made sense to take a couple of snaps.
With very limited commuting available and unrelenting traffic that only doubled up your cab fare, the travelling choice on hand was your own pair of legs.
(Buke & Gase)
From Yonge and Dundas, walked all the way to the Horseshoe for the Brooklyn-based Buke & Gase—a choice mostly made out of convenience. But what started off to be just a simple respite from walking turned out to be quite pleasant. The musical duo toted handmade instruments, skilfully playing tunes so sweet it nearly gave me a toothache. It should also be noted how watching them was kind of mesmerizing, in a way where your curiosity is piqued and your interest-levels tugged higher with each strumming of a string.
(Majical Cloudz)
The UO x NXNE secret guests at Sneaky Dee's for the night were Majical Cloudz. It was an intense set, full of emotion-driven force and zeal, and I was glad to finally witness Devon Welsh perform. At one point, he sat on the floor (right next to me) and remained there for most of the night, with everyone else also sitting. It felt like the band and crowd were all part of one very important art piece.
One of our other secret shows for the night was Dan Deacon. He played an enthusiastic, dance-filled set in The Drake Hotel, and even though he had some problems with his equipment, he still turned out an amazing show.
He was even kind enough to let us bug him afterward for a Vine post! We asked him how to make new friends, right as some drunk dude was totally trying to make him his new friend.
My favorite UK band of the last decade, Arctic Monkeys, decided to gift us with the release of a new song this week, called "Do I Wanna Know," which is a smooth, slow-burning tune that doesn't really sound like it came from a band that released "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" some time ago. Differences from their past aside, I'm in love with this new song and the wacky illustrations they've got to go along with it. —Maddie
Lightning Dust's new album Fantasy isn't being released until next week, but if you head on over to Pitchfork, you can listen to the whole album in advance. It's so good. —Katie
Wow, I am a veritable craft queen, am I not? (Don't answer that.) But I am going to for real use my mid-'90s Leo mason jar to hold work pens, like an adult, because I love it. While I may have the crafting skills of a 4-year-old, that doesn't mean I can't have fun making things. We have so many craft books here at the office that I was finally like, "I am going to bust out my very limited craft skills, y'all. It is going to be the arts and crafts tent at summer camp up in here." The above mason jars were an idea from the DIY Mason Jars book, and they were totally easy. Come, let me show you my jars. —Katie
Craft inspiration:
DIY Mason Jars
This book is super cute. It has a ton of cool ideas that all use mason jars (duh), which is great because mason jars are like, $1 and super easy to find at any craft store. I chose to do these glitter jars (for storage of my treasures) because I'm a little rusty on the crafts front, and they seemed pretty foolproof. Obviously they came out amazingly. All you need is some Mod Podge, glitter, a paintbrush and a dream. To apply the glitter, you just coat a thin layer of Mod Podge on the inside of the jar and go to town dumping glitter inside! Just make sure to shake out any excess.
Once the inner Mod Podge dries after a couple hours, you can go back in and put more Mod Podge on top of the glitter to seal everything up. Then you'll be able to throw change, flowers, barrettes, marbles, love notes, and whatever else you want in there without coating everything in glitter.
As you can see, I also threw some temporary tattoos on these jars, just because WHY NOT! You apply them to the jar the same way you'd apply them to your body, and the best part is that they last forever. I turned Tattooed Leo Jar into a beautiful vase, but once those flowers die he is gonna be the best pen receptacle in the world.
The book recommended putting little baby tea lights in the jars to create super fly and glittery nightlights. FUN! Now go make your own! I'm off to go make a Pacey Witter nightlight jar with this image. It's gonna be perfect.
If you'd been looking for the most epic film masterpiece of our time, then look no further. Kanye West and Scott Disick have done it, y'all. THEY'VE DONE IT. —Katie
CHVRCHES went all out for the video for their latest, uber-80's single "Gun." The video feels like something out of a trippy, Photoshop-layered dream, complete with all sorts of hypnotizing effects and dancers that zig-zag around footage of the band. A complicated, cool video for a really great song! —Hazel
I love these iPhone cases Connor Bowman has made for The Bling Ring. Although the film was based on a true story, the slightly edited quote (on the phone case above) was taken straight from Alexis Neiers during the infamous Vanity Fair feature. This film practically wrote itself but without Sofia, the world might have forgotten all about this case, the robbers, and the TV show where it all began: Pretty Wild. So thank you, Sofia, and also Connor, for keeping the story alive. See more of Connor's work here. —Ally
Alt-J's debut album was released just shy of a year ago, but that doesn't mean it's old news. The record, An Awesome Wave, is quite true to its name with its calming, glimmering sounds that flood your ears upon first listen. Plus, it's got some pretty shiny album artwork that will surely draw you right in! —Maddie
The album's cover art is my favorite part of the whole thing! Totally into the oil spill swirl situation. An Awesome Wave also has a nice double gate-fold packaging, with all of the song lyrics printed on the inside. The LP sleeve also has a pretty cool layered photo of the band, plus tracklisting on the opposite side.
Best song:
From end to end, this album is pretty good in my opinion, and Alt-J has a sound I don't think I've ever heard before. Throughout the record, An Awesome Wave carries a smooth and mellow tone. My favorite track that I thought best captured this feel is actually the last song on the album, "Taro." I really liked the interesting percussion on this song, and how the song gains layers as you listen.
What it's good for:

Summertime equals camping, music festivals, road trips... you name it! Along these trips you might find yourself in need of a shower. In most of these places, you'll find showers don't exist, sadly, so therefore you must fake one! Personally, there are some things that I just need when I travel, and one of those is a shower! Below you'll find various products that will help you do what you gotta do when you're out on the road, in the wilderness, or in the blazing hot sun at a music festival this summer! —Maddie

It's hard to document events without ever mentioning the weather when they play such a significant role--like a villain in a story. But if said villain is terrifically-developed, it's also hard not to grow fond of him/her/it--as people do with Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, Spike or Dru in Buffy, Frankenstein, Professor Snape… you get the idea. I had a point there somewhere.
Instead of letting the rain soak festival spirits, Toronto pretty much embraced the atmospheric villainy. In between intermittent pouring, the guys behind Young Lions Music Club & Live in Bellwoods pulled off yet another Great Heart success at Trinity Bellwoods.
Headed again to the Arts & Crafts Pop Up a few blocks down, this time to see Toronto's Alvvays and Prince Edward Island's Boxer the Horse.
(Boxer the Horse)
And also managed to snap some rain-embracing style from festival-goers!
Brooklyn's Black Marble was also playing just a few steps away at the Blk Box. Caught them just before heading to the Comfort Zone for Braids. And unsurprisingly, so did every other festival-goer, it seemed. The queue outside took a fair bit, but whoever chose the venue for the Montreal-based band definitely had the right idea. Braids' music perfectly blended with the eerie glow-in-the-dark lighting.
My only regret that evening: not wearing a Picnic at Hanging Rock–dress!
(Mikal Cronin)
Mikal Cronin was conveniently playing next door at the Silver Dollar, which proved to be my favourite set of the festival so far. Not only was the band great to watch but the crowd also held up its end of showing genuine fervour!
(The Soft Moon)
Around 2 A.M. one of our secret shows, The Soft Moon, went on at The Horseshoe Tavern and totally blew the crowd away.
At the end of the night, it just feels right to see broken guitar strings. —Carmel
Guards, an NYC-based band, released In Guards We Trust earlier this year to very positive reviews, which is unsurprising because its '60s and '70s pop sounds make it super listenable. (Plus, doesn't it look so classy on top of my deer antlers?) In Guards We Trust is the band's first full-length album, and totally catchy, so it's hopefully not their last. Can't wait to see what else this band puts out! —Katie
I love the cover art on this one, as well as the inside pictures that are included. And this record comes with a download card which is awesome. (The only thing that makes me happier is when there's also a CD because I perpetually live in 2003.) Makes it so easy to pop the music right onto your computer without having to rip it from the vinyl.
Best song:
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love a solid pop song. One of my favorite songs on the album is "I Know It's You" because it's super catchy and super danceable. I wish I had crazy, club-quality speakers in my bedroom so I could blast this and dance around like crazy. Another great song is the second track on the album, "Giving Out."
What it's good for:
Dancing! There's just something about '60s inspired music that just makes me want to kick out my heels and dance like the cast of Charlie Brown.

London-based band Still Corners will be playing our NXNE showcase later today, and vocalist Tessa Murray took some time out of the band's busy schedule to let us know about the band's musical influences and what we can expect to see at the show!
Interview by Katie Gregory
How did you meet and what made you decide to form Still Corners?
Greg started Still Corners and was looking for a singer. In early 2009, we both got on a train that was meant to stop at London Bridge station but the train went straight past and stopped about 20 minutes away. It was a while before the next train and I thought I'd speak to the other person who looked a bit annoyed on the platform. That was Greg, and we got chatting, I told him I was missing choir and after meeting up a few times, we started working on demos together.
If you had to describe your sound to someone who never heard you before, how would you describe it?
It is epic, atmospheric pop.
Who are some of your musical influences?
Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, Giorgio Moroder, Simon and Garfunkel, New Order, and Yo La Tengo.
How was making your most recent album? Did everything go smoothly or did you guys have any setbacks?
We started working on the record pretty much straight after we turned in Creatures of an Hour. It was smooth sailing, really. We had lots of ideas and tried to get as many of them down as possible. Greg worked a bit more on the production this time and we tried to play around with the vocals a bit more, too. Eventually the songs chose themselves really and Strange Pleasures was born.
What are you most excited to see during your time in Toronto?
I'm looking forward to having a Caesar, I know it's something to drink, rather than something to see but you'll give me that, right?
Drinks totally count. Any other bands you're going to check out during NXNE?
Braids and The Soft Moon, we've played with both of them before and they're awesome live.
We saw The Soft Moon last night and they were great! What are you most excited about for your performance at our show?
We've decided to do something a bit different for our show with you guys. The set will be stripped back from our regular set. We're playing some different songs and bringing it up close and personal so it should be fun!
If you could only listen to one musician for the rest of your life, who would it be?
The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed.
The Goosebumps TV show from 1995 is on Netflix and well, okay, maybe it's a little light on actual style, but that doesn't diminish the fact that Goosebumps is on Netflix! I just re-watched the epic two-part "Welcome to Camp Nightmare," and um, sure it wasn't as good or scary as I remember, but who cares, nostalgia is the most powerful force in the world. Besides, the epic miniseries featured ample flannel, a bevy of bowl cuts and even a chain wallet. When are chain wallets coming back? Anytime now, right? I'll be waiting. —Angelo
Bear Mountain, one of the bands performing at our NXNE store showcase later today in Toronto, spoke to us about Canadian stereotypes, their intense show visuals, and whether or not they'd let Miley chill with them.
Interview by Katie Gregory
How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
I would say our music blends a lot different genres and styles, but is mainly influenced by dance music. We are a live band that plays dance inspired music, with lots of vocals over top.
How did you guys all meet? What made you want to start a band?
Greg and I are brothers, and we've played in bands since we were teenagers. Kyle and I met in University and played in a prog punk band together. After that band broke up, I started making making beats on my laptop, and showed them to Kyle a few years later. I also made an acoustic guitar/vocal record, and we saw an opportunity to blend the styles of music.
How long have you all been playing music?
We've all been playing music since we were kids, and I think we all have wanted to play in bands for as long as we can remember. The four of us have been playing together for about 8 months, but Bear Mountain has been around for about two years. Kenji doesn't even play music, however. He's the fourth member of our band and he is on stage with us projecting live visuals and manipulating them in real time. Kenji saw us play live once, and he showed us what he was capable of visually. We asked him to join the band, and that's when everything really came together.
You guys were just at Gov Ball in NYC, right? How was that? Heard the mud got crazy!
Yes, the mud was insane. We were lucky because we were playing under a tent, and a lot of people came under the tent to stay dry. It worked out for us because we had a huge crowd.
What are you most excited for with NXNE?
To be in Toronto! We all love Toronto and haven't been back in a while, so we're really excited to just be here and hang out in the city.
Who are the other acts you're most excited to check out?
I think we're all excited to see Fucked Up. They're a great band and we want to see them. Also I really want to see Boyz Noise.
Are you planning to go to any after parties?
Some of our friends are DJ'ing after our show at Wrongbar on Friday, and they definitely bring the party.
Can you tell us one thing about Canada that's totally just a stereotype? And one thing about Canada that you wish everyone knew?
Do people think we're all lumberjacks? It's only sorta true. I wish everyone knew that Canada has some of the most beautiful women in the world. And that's the truth.
What's the craziest thing that's ever happened at one of your shows? Any stressful equipment or fan meltdowns?
There have definitely been some stressful moments with broken gear or gear not working. Our setup is sometimes intricate, so we need to trust that it's going to work, but nothing too bad. Kenji's visual setup is also pretty intricate, so we've learned to set up in 10 minutes. In terms of craziest things, we were playing at this place in Montauk, NY a few weeks ago, and Courtney Love got up on stage after our set and played an acoustic set...that was something.
Do you guys have any awesome summer travel plans? How do you get to all your shows?
We're playing Lollapalooza in July, and then going to Mexico at the end of August! We're really excited to tour Mexico and play Kenji's hometown of Guadalajara. We usually tour in our Van, Nebby, and we've covered a lot of ground in that Van. It's cozy, but comfortable.
Did you see that video of Miley Cyrus on stage with Juicy J? Would you ever let Miley get up on stage with you?
Helllllls ya we would. How could we say no to that? I would get in the studio with Miley too. I think that would be pretty dope.

This week we are up in beautiful Toronto for NXNE! There's a ton (like, ton) of cool shows going on, so you'll also be seeing guest blogger and Toronto native Carmel helping us out on some posts! We are all gonna have to be on top of our energy drink game if we want to keep up with everything that's happening. Since arriving yesterday we've been too busy to stuff our faces with poutine (soon), but we did make sure we had plenty of time to check out one of our secret shows, Merchandise, at Parts and Labor. Here's our recap! (And follow our Twitter to see what else we'll be up to.) —Katie
When we first got to Parts and Labor it was packed! Since we were early, we got to catch Milk Music's set and they were totally awesome. I'd been meaning to see them for a while, but they had never played near me, so it's like the fates aligned.
Seriously, if you get the chance to see Milk Music live, you definitely should. They put on an incredible show, and everyone was super into it. (Got a little warm, if you can't tell.)
After Milk Music ended their set, Carson Cox, frontman of Merchandise, came out for their secret set and was like, "Yo, it's my birthday! I'm drinking!" And everyone cheered. Happy birthday, dude!
Merchandise also put on a fantastic show. By the time they were a couple songs in, everyone was moshing like crazy and I was hiding behind a speaker because I am a delicate infant. Like, I would seriously like to give it up for how enthusiastic (drunk?) the crowd was the whole time.
At this point, everyone was going crazy. Carson threw his guitar down on the stage and hopped out into the crowd with all the fans. And that shirt? Stay young indeed, my friend. MAY WE ALL STAY YOUNG FOREVER.
People were 100% committed to this show, crowd-surfing every chance they got, even though the ceilings were probably no higher than 7 feet.
After the show ended we hunted everyone down to get this Merchandise and Milk Music hybrid band picture. Birthday boy on the right was having a blast and a half. Good job being handsome and talented, everyone.
It's like you're right up in the action, right? If only we could have .gif-ed the moment when Carson jumped out into the crowd. Thanks for an awesome show, guys! And everyone else, stay tuned for more posts from NXNE - we've got a lot more planned and we can't wait!
Our guest blogger Carmel hit up a bunch of NXNE shows yesterday, including one of our secret shows, Nu Sensae, and reported back with a quick recap of everything that went on! Choosing what bands to see every day is proving an impossible mission and it's only going to get more hectic from here on out. We can't wait!
(Secret show performers, Nu Sensae)
The city is yet to see much of summer this year. I don't know about you, but the grey, nippy outdoors is making me feel like we're running around Edinburgh rather than Toronto in high summer. Luckily we saw a bit of sun yesterday!

First Lady Michelle Obama Makes A COLORBLOCKING STOP In VA
First Lady Michelle Obama made her way to a small local bakery, Mom's Apple Pie, in Occoquan, Virginia yesterday. The fabulous Mrs. O. kept it colorful in a coloblock chic look of a pink pencil skirt and turquoise tank. And she even watched on as a little girl played "Beethoven's Ode To Joy" on the violin for her. Sweet!
Pics and video inside...
As the Obamas trot along the campaign trail, our First Lady gave a speech in Dale City, VA. And she surprised bakery goers during a little pit stop for some goodies. According to Daily Mail:
Owner Molly Glenn told website Potomac Local that she received a phone call at 1pm yesterday saying 'someone from D.C.' was coming.
As they rushed to clean the bakery, they received another call saying the visitor would be Mrs Obama.
'I was so happy, and she was, honestly, so sweet. She was very, very kind,' the owner said.
Mrs Obama was greeted by locals including the mayor of Occoquan. She asked how Sydney was doing at school and told her: 'You are on it!'
She then bought two pies from the small bakery, telling the owner: 'I will be killed if I don't come out of here with pie.'

Check out video of First Lady Michelle's visit below. Loves her!

Save Money in a Deregulated Electricity Market
Posted by admin on May 11th, 2013Over the past few decades, many states have begun to deregulate their energy markets. Texas, New York and many other states give their residents the option to choose their energy providers, which both saves them money and gives them control over electricity use.
What is a Deregulated Electricity Market?
In many states, single electric companies have monopolies over the power that is distributed to large areas, leaving homeowners with no choices when it comes to their energy provider. In deregulated markets, residents have the option to shop for their energy provider, and can choose the company that they purchase from based on the type of energy they provide, their energy price and the different types of plans available. If consumers are not happy with the services provided by their current electricity company, they can switch to another company at any time. For those looking for the best rates in a deregulated Texas electricity market, www.electricitycompaniestexas.com is a great place to start.
Advantages of a Deregulated Market
A deregulated energy market offers many advantages for energy consumers. First, deregulation allows for companies to compete with each other to provide their services at the best possible price. This means that homeowners can potentially pay less for the energy. Further, to keep homeowners happy with their services, providers must have great costumer service. Providers are also free to introduce loyalty programs and promotions to obtain new business, which results in great savings for the homeowner. Finally, energy consumers have the option to choose what type of energy they consume, whether that be a renewable form of energy or traditional fossil fuels.
Making an Impact with Deregulated Energy
Deregulated energy markets are making huge impacts in the energy world. By giving energy consumers the chance to choose their providers, they now have the ability to demand the type of energy that they want to support at a price that is affordable to them. For example, many homeowners want the option to use green energy, but most providers in regulated energy markets do not offer green energy options. In deregulated markets, green technology is now beginning to become more affordable as homeowners demand it.
In a deregulated market, there are great opportunities for homeowners to save money while making an impact on their state's energy market.

Hi all,
Our carrier unfortunately only flies to SDQ. and not PUJ. We are traveling from one Caribbean island to another.
In the meantime we've booked our transfer with Caribbean Dream in the event anyone need this information.
Not sure which airport you are trying to book to fly into…the Punta Cana airport is PUJ…the Las Americas airport is SDQ…which is about 200 km away from Punta Cana
If you haven't book your flights yet…better to book them into Punta Cana (PUJ)…then as bienick1 said…your round trip transfers will be included
Transfers to and from the resort are included. Take a peek under traveler info. See you there!!
Hi there,

Can you please send the entire JS file and error details to firstname.lastname@example.com and we can review it and then send you the required information.
Please mention this forum post in your email so we can also update it accordingly.
I am having a similar problem. I followed the instructions here: http://connect.nintex.com/files/folders/tutorials_and_how_tos_nf2010/entry22008.aspx but it does not work. I don't see any errors. I am running NF 184.108.40.206.
Also, I have some questions about the instructions:
1. Page 9 - Panel settings, Visible is set to Yes. Shouldn't it be No (until the checkbox is checked)?
2. Page 10 - Checkbox settings. It is not Connected to a field in the list. Is that required?
Could you clarify exactly what you mean by that, because I haven't seen any issues resolved in regard to using the .js file in the tutorial; nor have I seen any response that is worth its weight in gold. If you would be so kind as to explain a step by step process how you got that .js file to work, I would be delighted.
Thank you
I finaly got forms to work with the .js file.
I am having similar issues where I simply can't get it to work. What ended up being the issue you were having?
Hello Geoff,
I hope this helped a little. My biggest suggestion is to look at the .js file, at the 6 functions. The bottom 4 make up the top 2. The top two are called in the Custom Javascript section. Look at the affiliation between the .js file and the downloads.
Nintex Team,
The Javascript functions are not working in the Preview button, but working after publishing the form. Is there something we are missing from our environment side or this could me fixed from the Nintex side? Again, this is a very cool feature and it could be better if we can preview the working before publishing it.

During his years as a school principal, Ray Oxendine combined the roles of disciplinarian, organizer and nurturer in managing the schools and students entrusted to him.
A decade later, little has changed.
The 74-year-old former Scotland High School principal is still helping others — whether it's mowing the lawn for a sick neighbor or volunteering with the American Red Cross of Scotland and Robeson counties.
It was that volunteer work that has given Oxendine some recent national exposure. He will appear on the cover of the 2012 American Red Cross Holiday Giving Catalog.
The cover came from an incident last year while Oxendine was deployed to Wilson following Hurricane Irene.
A shelter there, manned by Oxendine and other volunteers including Scotland County's Dinah Veler, housed 150 people affected by the hurricane. Krispy Kreme sent over 15 dozen doughnuts and a large package of doughnut holes, rousing an inquisition from five-year-old Margarita Chavez.
"That little girl came up and said what is that," said Oxendine, who could not pass up such a teachable moment.
"I picked up a donut and said that donut has a hole in it and they didn't throw the hole away, they kept it. I asked her if she'd ever heard the donut song."
The child hadn't. Oxendine's response, sung a Capella, went something like this:
"I went to the bakery shop to get some things to eat
I was oh so hungry from my head to my feet
And I picked three doughnuts right out of the grease
And I handed the lady a five cent piece.
Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me
And she said, 'This nickel's no good, you see
There's a hole in the middle and it goes right through.'
I said, 'Oops, there's a hole in the doughnuts, too.'
Thanks for the doughnuts,
Margarita was "spellbound," Oxendine said
Little did Oxendine know, but the exchange was witnessed by media representatives from the American Red Cross office in Washington, D.C. They snapped a photo of Oxendine and Margarita, which will appear on the catalog cover.
"For him to be on the front of this catalog that's actually a giving catalog is just a perfect fit," said Carol Ann Lentz, executive director of the American Red Cross of Scotland and Robeson counties. "He gives so much of himself that for him to be on the front of that catalog for others to see how they can help the Red Cross mission is just a perfect match."
Oxendine, who lies in Maxton, began working with the Red Cross in 2005, when the organization put out a call for volunteers to assist with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"When they need somebody, they call me - if I'm available I go," the Pembroke native said. "One of the worst situations I experienced was when I went up to Bertie County when the tornado came through. About 12 people were killed in that county, and dealing with people who have lost family members was a tough situation."
Since Katrina, Oxendine has deployed to disaster areas half a dozen times, and deploys on Wednesday to a shelter for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"He believes in the mission, he is very focused on what needs to be done," Lentz said. "I was very fortunate to work with him in a shelter several years back for tropical storm Hanna, and he's just very unassuming. He's there, he knows the job that needs to be done, and he gets it done."
Oxendine never imagined that his work with the Red Cross would lead once again to his role as an example for others to follow.
"I had no idea that would ever happen," he said. "If that can be a model for other people to get involved and help out when they get a chance to do so, that's very good."

You're probably familiar with Amazon's AutoRip feature. When you buy certain CDs from Amazon, you also get free access to a cloud copy. Now, Amazon has extended the feature to include sales of many vinyl records. When you think about it, a ripped vinyl file is a much more valuable than a ripped CD file.
You know, with the Internet, you can blink and miss out on important stuff. While I was on vacation — seeing the premiere of The Flaming Lips' musical of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, in fact — NEW news appears from the Lips camp. This came from their Facebook page:
Or so it seems as labels and retailers extend their groovy deals post Thanksgiving and into the December holiday season. Here are a couple cool ones we've heard about:
What a musical treat 2012 has been so far : new music from XTC's Andy Partridge (via Mike Keneally and Peter Blegvad), three new Guided By Voices albums and now a second new Neil Young album — out today — called Psychedelic Pill.
But you can pre-order some fun Holiday albums already, including Sufjan Stevens: Silver & Gold (Ltd Ed. 5 LP, 6 EP set)
We've learned about some cool surround discs coming out (we like to keep an eye on interesting sources such as the great UK magazine Record Collector). We'll be looking for them soon so we can review them for you. Included are:
One of our favorite bands, Squeeze, is jumping on the direct-to-fan bandwagon with a bit of twist.
Six months ago, we reported that Neil Young was going around talking about a crazy idea he had for a new music business model. He had some high-res, music-in-the-cloud idea that he thought would revolutionize the way people listen to music. Would it be the Segway of the music biz?

Dow off 121 as post-election swoon continues
Investors worry about the economy, the fiscal cliff and Europe. Disney and Nordstrom earnings disappoint. Apple continues its slide since September. McDonald's monthly sales fall for the first time in 9 years. Gold and crude oil move higher.
Stocks finished at their lowest levels since the summer today as another slide in Apple (AAPL) shares pulled tech stocks lower and McDonald's (MCD) reported a surprising decline in October sales.
Apple was down $20.25 to $537.75, its seventh loss in the last 11 days, on worries that production problems are limiting iPhone 5 availability. There's talk investors are starting to ask what the company's next big wonder product might be. McDonald's was off $1.73 to $85.13 and was the biggest weight on the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU), which fell for the second day in a row.
The major indexes all ended the day below their 200-day moving averages, which are key indicators of investor confidence.
After the close, shares of Walt Disney (DIS) were off 97 cents to $49.07. The company reported fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings of 68 cents a share, up from 59 cents a year ago and in line with Street estimates. Revenue of $10.78 billion, up from $10.43 billion, missed the Street estimate of $10.92 billion. Nordstrom (JWN) shares also were falling after hours as earnings of 71 cents a share missed the Street estimate of 72 cents.
The Dow closed down 121 points to 12,811, its lowest close since July 25. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) was off 17 points to 1,378, its lowest close since Aug. 2. The close for the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) was 2,896, down 42 points, and its lowest close since July 23. The Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX), heavily influenced by Apple, was down 40 points to 2,573.
Article continues below.McDonald's said same-store sales fell 1.8% in October, as consumers flocked to rivals, including Burger King (BKW), which has been revamping its menus. The company said sales were down 2.2% in the U.S. and Europe. Sales fell 2.4% in its Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region. McDonald's contributed more than 13 points to the Dow's loss by itself. Half of the Dow's loss came from declines in McDonald's, United Technologies (UTX), Caterpillar (CAT), Home Depot (HD) and Chevron (CVX).
The Dow has fallen 434 points in two days. That's its worst two-day loss since the blue chips fell 573 points on Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 2011.
The euro's fall hurts U.S. stocks; oil and gold rise
The euro fell to a two-month low against the dollar after the European Central Bank held interest rates at a record low and said the eurozone economy showed little sign of recovering before year-end.
In addition, a European Union official said a decision on unlocking funds for Greece may not be made until late November. European stocks closed lower. A falling euro (or a rising dollar) makes U.S. exports less competitive.
Crude oil (-CL) in New York settled up 65 cents to $85.09 a barrel today. Gold (-GC) settled up $12 to $1,724.20 an ounce.
The 10-year Treasury yield was 1.632%, unchanged from Wednesday.

A nervous market
Investors were probably a little punchy after stocks suffered their worst one-day losses in nearly a year with the Dow's 313-point drop on Wednesday.
The sell-off was due in part to President Obama's re-election and the uncertainty because of the so-called "fiscal cliff" -- the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that will kick in starting Jan. 1 unless Congress and the White House can agree on changes.
The fiscal cliff would drive the U.S. economy back into recession next year and result in a jump in the jobless rate to 9.1% by the end of 2013, a new report from the Congressional Budget Office said.
The CBO, the independent budget arm of Congress, said economic output would drop by 0.5% in 2013 without action. But the CBO added the U.S. economy would in the longer run return to better growth rates and lower employment, with the U.S. unemployment dropping perhaps to 5.5% by 2020, The Wall Street Journal noted.
In addition, worries are deepening about economic woes in Europe. Germany's economy is starting to slow down, and political tensions were high in Greece after its parliament agreed to new austerity measures.
The Dow and S&P 500 are off roughly 6% since a market peak in mid-September. The Nasdaq has fallen 9.1% since Sept. 14, when it closed at a 2012 high of 3,184.
If the fiscal cliff takes effect, it will result in an increase in tax rates on dividends.
Because of that potential, Leggett & Platt (LEG), which makes components used in bedding and furniture, accelerated the payment of its fourth-quarter dividend of 29 cents a share to Dec. 10 to qualify for 2012 tax rates. Leggett & Platt was down 17 cents to $26.84.
Lastly, the third-quarter earnings season has produced profits that have met estimates for the most part. Revenues for S&P 500 companies are beating estimates less than 40% of the time, instead of the usual 62%. Part of that is due to slowing non-U.S. business and the dollar's depressing effect on international revenue. If the dollar rises, the value of non-U.S. revenue falls.
The Apple effect on markets
The peaks for the major averages appear to tracking with Apple's tumble from an all-time closing high of $702.10 on Sept. 19 and a record intraday high of $705.07 on Sept. 21.
The reason to concentrate on Apple is that it is the world's most valuable company, and it has shed about $143 billion in market capitalization as the stock has slid more than 22% since those September highs. Apple represents about 17% of the market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 and 4% of the S&P 500.
There are lots of reasons why Apple has fallen so much. The stock was up 73% for the year at its peak. By a number of measures, the shares were overbought, and it's vulnerable to violent moves because it is the largest holding of many of the biggest hedge funds. If they start to sell, bad things can happen quickly.
It is possible that Apple is nearing a bottom. Its 14-day relative strength index was below 22 today. The index measures a stock's momentum. A reading below 30 implies a stock is oversold. A reading above 70 suggests a stock is overbought and nearing a pullback.
Another broad slump
Only four of the 30 Dow stocks were higher today: Bank of America (BAC), Boeing (BA), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Travelers Companies (TRV). The laggards were Cisco Systems (CSCO) and McDonald's.
In addition, only 146 S&P 500 stocks were higher, along with 194 Nasdaq-100 stocks.
Chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM, Century Link (CTL) and Verisign (VRSN) were the S&P 500 leaders. Qualcomm's fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings beat Street estimates, thanks to an explosion in demand for smartphones. It boosted its first-quarter guidance.
Verisign and Qualcomm were also the top Nasdaq-100 stocks. Whole Foods Market (WFM) and SanDisk (SNDK) were the laggards.
Whole Foods, down $5.62 to $90.31, offered lower-than-expected guidance for the fiscal first quarter. Results will be hurt by disruptions to its operations in the Northeast by Superstorm Sandy.

Like I have always said ---- OBAMA 2012 ! and --- a Democratic Senate to boot !
The progressives are now in the transparent crucible for all of us to enjoy the incineration. The House need only keep the lid on the pot and let them burn. A steady stream of hearings will turn up the heat.
After the meltdown, the rest of us will go on in a more sound albeit shrunken economy. But the control freaks of the establishment Republicans and progressives (in a perpetual 69), are going to be politically lynched in various ways.
"President promises to use his second term to boost the . The opposite is more like it: A strengthening economy will boost the president's second term. Job growth is poised to continue increasing , which will make it easier to shrink the budget while keeping taxes low and preserving essential spending. All this will probably occur without any magic emanating from the Oval Office. It would likely have taken place if had been elected president, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Nov. 12 issue. "The economy's operating well below potential, and there's a lot of room for growth" regardless of who's in office, says, chief economist of forecaster Moody's Analytics."
Gee, now Bloomberg is trying to discredit Obama's 2nd term before it even gets started. Why wasn't this published BEFORE Romney lost.
TWAT, You and your Party is what has been deemed extreme, kinda like Bashar al-Assad's Government.....The Tea Party Patriots will defeat you.
Is your MEMORY THAT SHORT?????????? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SPOKE.!!!!....THEY RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OBAMA........AND REGURGITATED THE TEA PARTY....
TIWIT, You and your Party is what has been deemed extreme, kinda like Bashar al-Assad's Government.....The Tea Party Patriots will defeat you.
You and your fools don't get it do you......We are the Freedom Fighters....if you commies need reminding well here it is.....
The Tea Party Patriots' mission is to restore America's founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
Excuse me --- Ron Paul has known for over 30 years and has been shouting it and trying to stop it. Unfortunately, we continue to be dazzled by beauty contestants for President. The Republicans and everyone will now get what they deserve.
I see we still have the low life folks doing the jealousy and envy thing!! One of the seven deadlies, you know!!! As the top 10% earners are doing the same as I am ... the lowest class will be wondering what happened to all the money they were promised. It's all so amusing. the top earners didn't get to where they are by being one step behind. And, in my circle, the folks with money are all putting their cash in safe houses like the Cook Islands and getting residence in other countries. Did you know is you invest $800,000 in a business in Canada, they give you immediate residence and citizenship. "Ohhhhh Canada, my home and native land" ...... Since the top 10% earners paid over 80% of the taxes .. what happens if many of them pull their money and send it offshore??? You will have a country in BK and a bunch of losers looking to Obama ... hey Barry .. what happened?? Where's my money!!
POETIC JUSTICE ... it's a beautiful thing!!
When you start to see the Mark Owens drag out SPECOP information so concurrently to feed the bread and circuses that we consume, you know we are in trouble. If this is starting to happen at this level of government force, this whole thing is going to come unglued.
The Tea Party knows that Republicans are trying to deal with the shocking defeat of Mitt....
We know you had hope that we could all get along.....well the truth is the Democrat Party has been overtaken by Socialists. These Progressive Liberals are a hop skip and jump from creating a Marxist Commie Government.
We will no longer soft step this issue.....Mitt started expressing compromise with these fanatics and payed the price.
When a Liberal like Dingy Harry calls for compromise, it means giving them what they want.....no longer
We have decided to let them self-destruct......then we will rebuild.....cheers.
hey hate monger commienazi hate spewing retards....since when does one man become responsible for the market...I've been in my job for 4 years now, we just downsized, does that mean I am responsible...doubt it....instead of spewing your repeats of rush blabber - why don't you look at you party - figure out why a candidate was unable to win in his home state, his vp's home state or the state he was gov. for...makes you think that there might be more to romney than someone who hates black people doesn't it?
Obama got in b/c he earned an election - there is nothing more to it - all this whining makes me think you all were picked last in lunch time ball...maybe ask your mom to wipe those little itsiebitsie tears away and explain to you that the market has been teetering on self destruction for as long as she can remember.
Remember all these posts when the markets turn around and start positive gains again, like they will and istead of 712 comments bashing one man's election to a second term, I am pretty sure it will be quiet.
The lower it goes now, the more I buy for cheap and the more money I make and move when it starts creeping back up again....look at a graph, you know a picture with lines on it....I'm pretty sure it goes up and then down up and then down....like your mom did to make you
