Greater freedom for flyhalf Lambie
21 Nov 2012
RYAN VREDE, in London, reports Heyneke Meyer has given Pat Lambie the directive to stand flatter and attack more with ball in hand in a bid to get the best out of him.
There were widespread cries of relief when Lambie was installed at pivot ahead of Morne Steyn for the first Test of the tour against Ireland and then given the backing of his coach through three Tests. However, it was also lamented that Lambie would have to temper his natural attacking instincts to suit the Springboks' pragmatic method.
Lambie attempted to play that down prior to the Lansdowne Road Test, saying that there was a flawed perception of him as a running flyhalf, arguing that his game was more rounded than that. However, on the evidence of what he has produced tactically in the last fortnight, his kicking game is certainly more work in progress than it is finished article.
Lambie has proven to be potent when taking on the defensive line himself or creating opportunities for his outside backs and this is what Meyer hopes to see more of against England at Twickenham on Saturday.
'It's a huge ask, there's this perception that when you put a young player like Pat in he is immediately going to be a world beater. That doesn't happen at this level. The defences are too well organised,' he said.
'But I've had a long one on one with him and told him to play his natural game. He has always been a guy that takes on the line and plays really flat. He played too deep in Dublin and Edinburgh. I've said to him I want more on attack, I want him to get the backline going. Its a test for Pat going forward, but I really need a good performance from him on Saturday.'
Meyer's instructions to Lambie and the inclusion of Elton Janjties ahead of Morne Steyn on the bench suggests the Springboks will seek to keep the ball in hand far more than they have for most of this season. Certainly privately the coaching staff feeling there are a couple of defensive vulnerabilities in the England backline, particularly at flyhalf, where Toby Flood has been exposed against elite opposition.
With the forecast for cold but clear conditions at kick-off, the Springboks will be assisted in their cause to 'play' more. However, it would be wrong to expect an expansive and open approach from the tourists, who will still be very cautious in their territory, taking minimal risks but then looking to be more adventurous deeper in England's half.
It is of course a tactical path that has worked well for them at the venue in recent history, with 2008′s 42-6 win achieved in this manner. Peter de Villiers picked an abrasive pack that day and they gave a mediocre backline an excellent platform from which to test their hosts. This mirrors the situation the Springboks find themselves in at present, with a highly cohesive and powerful pack attempting to service a backline that has yet to inspire.
Perhaps it will come on Saturday, with Lambie tasked with playing a central role in any such demolition.

that is reactive!
21 Nov 2012, 19:31 pm@STBUR-48:
"Half the people on this site were also clamouring for Johnson, Daniel and Burden."
Please don't exaggerate. A few suggested Johnson and only the minority, but vocal, Sharks supporters pushed Daniel and Burden. . -
21 Nov 2012, 19:32 pm@David-52:
Sorry, Daniels. -
21 Nov 2012, 22:00 pmThere seems to be quite a disconnect between Meyer and Lambie – and most of the backine players for that matter.
This latest quote by Meyer seems to imply that Lambie was lying deep on his own accord. I for one, would refute that completely.
Just two weeks earlier Lambie is quoted as saying that he was been working on his tactical, pragmatic approach and Meyer came out and said that his tactical kicking had improved, hence picking him. So clearly he had his instructions of what was expected from him.
If Meyer came out and said I wanted him to lie deep and play tactically and now I want him to play his natural game, that would be a far more logical and constructive statement to make, but to imply that pressure is making him stand deep is total garbage. You only have to look at how flat Lambie was on his debut flyhalf performance – with a pack that was back-pedalling big time – in 2011 in NZ. He got rave reviews in a losing cause. -
21 Nov 2012, 23:23 pm'Stupidest post" ….clearly you haven't read any of tacklers posts
its ok to be an HM apologist but his ****** record with the boks speaks for itself.
Wow an 86% kicking record for Morne in practice wow … and it didnt translate to anything on the field …well duh! if you pick a 10 who's only saving grace is he's ability to kick and not create play for the rest of the team ala Dan Carter /Goosen/Lambie thats exactly whats going to happen in the real game when the pressure is on. he'll start missing all his kicks and then what ?
a coach who changes a few things is making adjustments a coach who changes everyhting hasnt a f'ing clue
21 Nov 2012, 23:40 pmPerhaps teh context of standing flatter only relates to teh par where teh Boks are in the opposition 22 (which we have been a lot without getting points). For the rest of the game, its business as usual… and I think this would be correct.
22 Nov 2012, 01:58 am@David-52: yeah and of the bloody 3 only Johnson deserved a look in – Daniel hasnt been able to make the step up at international level after numerous opportunities and Burden just collects splinters. Id rather have a Schalk Brits or Deon Fourie in the team than Burden if we wanted to pick a like for like player. Add to that the fact that the queue for a look in at hooker is rather long Burden is way down the pecking order at present. Johnson offers, good ball carrying with size and speed and is an all round dynamic player. Considering our lack of an outstanding number 8 an extended run for him would have been something that may have beared some fruit in the long run.
22 Nov 2012, 02:03 amHallelujah! Meyer seems to be making some correct decisions of late . At this rate we may end up with a decent team by the time the next Rugby Championship swings by. In one week we have gotten rid of CJ and Morne and Lambie and Juan are both getting another crack. Taute is being kept on the bench instead of being played at 13. We have a true opensider playing at 6. We have a decent eigthman playing now. Lambie has been told to play his natural game – he was definitely under a directive to play the conservative game so this is a good sign. Now we only need to draft in a decent scrummie, Get Houghaard off the wing and replaced by a proper wing, get Jean back to 13 or better yet out the team and find a decent fullback. Hope Gurtho improves his game this week. His standards have definitely slipped a bit since being over in France.
22 Nov 2012, 02:06 am@boktillzero-10: This is a good thing mate. I have hope.
22 Nov 2012, 02:09 am@pokkel-28: ja that is my biggets worry – someone needs to tell Jean to wake the f up. He´s the problem in our backline.
22 Nov 2012, 02:12 am@STBUR-31: maybe the issue with the kicking is not that we kick more. Therein lies the deception. Maybe it should be said we kick more on attack cos i´ll be damned if we dont kick the ball away every time we have a go at the opposition gifting possession in the process. There is a difference and a large one at that.
22 Nov 2012, 09:28 amO we go again; this player or that player to change the complete pattern of the Boks play. Will Lambie's "freedom" also translate to the Boks not giving scrum penalties away? I see rugby as a multi faceted team game comprising set pieces, possession, attacke and defence but with a multitiude of complex and selectively applied rules. Meyer has to develop an extended squad that understands, is trained in and buys into all his ideas for the game and keeps developing.
Then he, and his assistants,presumably as the best available in SA, have to be able to get each player to understand where he fits in, drill his actions and improve him (previously think Habana, F Steyn, Brussouw etc). To me, this is one area where Meyer has come up short so far. The only stand out performers seem to have stood out in CC and S15 etc (Etzebeth, JPP, maybe Strauss, Alberts and Flo). Quite a few have gone backwards (Morne, Lambie, Hougaard even Pienaar and a few forwards). Players with the potential of Potgieter etc haven't stood a chance.
We wait to see what Lambie's "free dom" means and whether it will be enough for the same weary Boks to weather a heavyweight Pommie onslaught.
22 Nov 2012, 09:40 am@Slumtown-61: Excellent post Slumtown.
I would also add that we only use 1 kind of kick (on attack) ie the box kick / up and under type of kick.
If we have to kick on attack so much we could at least vary our kicks with chips, grubbers etc so we are not soooooooooo predictable.
22 Nov 2012, 09:54 am@Slumtown-60: Yep,I've been saying all along,Jean is the problem in the backline at the Stormers and now at the Boks,it's obvious.
22 Nov 2012, 10:57 am@Slumtown-57: Don't talk KAK. When Daniel got his chance, where was he playing? By far the majority of his appearances where as FETCHER! He never has been and never will be an open side flank. Your argument is as valid as suggesting that Bismarck is rubbish if he couldn't perform at tighthead.
22 Nov 2012, 11:19 am@Blokkies-63: lately i have seen a few cross field kicks but yes in principle too many up n unders. Its really getting long in the tooth – especially on attack – whatever happened to the chip n chase of Habana?
22 Nov 2012, 11:20 am@Superbru-64: yep been saying it for years. Thats why we played nominally better with him at 13 – he seems to let go of the ball a bit more and also gains a few more metres with the extra space provided taking the ball at 13.
22 Nov 2012, 11:21 am@umfezi-65: off the scrum yes that would make a difference – what about the rest of the game? He has been average at best. Sorry man take the Sharks blinkers off.

Quite a surreal day yesterday as I "watched"
Heyneke Meyer announce his Springbok team to
take on the Poms via Twitter on my phone while
sitting at the press conference where Paul Treu was announcing his Blitzbokke squad for the Dubai and Port Elizabeth legs of the IRB Sevens series.And after enjoying a truly enlightening hour long chat with Blitzbokke stalwart Paul Delport on my Front Row Grunt radio show yesterday evening, it seemed worth jotting down a few comparisons between the two codes…
While Meyer announced an unchanged run on side with Elton Jantjies replacing Morne Steyn on the bench being the only unenforced change to the match day 23, Treu was making light of losing
Seven-a-side legend Cecil Afrika while speaking
highly of new boys Kevin Luiters and Warren Whiteley.Meyer has been open about Jaco Taute's best position being fullback, but is not keen to give him (or others like Lwazi Mvovo or Raymond Rhule) a run for fear of making too many changes and handing out Bok caps wily nilly.
It has long been my opinion that South African XV-a-side rugby players are not as well conditioned as their peers Down Under or, swoon, even up north in the Mud Island. My thinking confirmed by both Brendan Venter and Rassie Erasmus in answer to my query as to why SA sides do not play a more expansive game that attacks the channels out wide.
This in complete contrast to the Blitzbokke, who have added some fantastically innovative drills and initiatives (like wrestling with Coenie Oosthuizen and hypoxic training with Hannelie Prinsloo) to their industrial training regime. Delport reckons it takes some time for the XV-a-side boys to come to terms with the training when they join the squad.
The lack of basic skills in our rugby players is
another bugbear of mine, with the fact that
schoolboys are playing to win and climb much
published rankings rather than entertain being a key factor.Delport confirmed this, saying that guys come out of school or age group rugby not able to pass both ways, throw 40m skip passes, or run basic attacking lines that allow you to play off the man with ball in hand. Treu and his coaching team spend hours and hours on improving the player's skill set as that is what seven a side rugby is all about. You simply cannot rely on physical dominance and a monster box kick!
I have been calling for a central contracting system where SARU contract either all the professional players in the country (like they do in new Zealand), or at least the broader group of Springbok players for a while now as I see it as the only way to enforce the player management needed given the ludicrously long season.
The Blitzbokke do that, and while initially paying
peanuts (less than a Vodacom Cup player), Delport says that has now changed, meaning that he can make a living as a specialist seven-a-side player.Sure, it is on a much smaller scale, but to my mind, the shorter code is leading the XV-a-side guys in four key areas: Embracing young talent, conditioning, improving skills, and contracting.
Far from being the afterthought they once were,
perhaps it is now time for SARU to use the
Blitzbokke's methods as a guideline for managing
the Springboks? -
22 Nov 2012, 13:14 pm@mamma_lou-69:
with the fact that schoolboys are playing to win and climb much published rankings rather than
"entertain" being a key factor.only thing i don't agree with as i believe its not about entertainment, but rather having a balanced attack and not just one string to your bow. if you do it well enough then it becomes entertaining
22 Nov 2012, 13:20 pmlisten to meyer school kid!
what a disaster. -
22 Nov 2012, 18:13 pm@boktillzero-55: I must apologise for my use of "stupidest" – not a nice thing to say to a fellow Bok-lover. And ja – Tackles can definitely stun with some of his chirps
Just to clarify – I am not a HM apologist at all! If anything I wanted PDiv to get another 4 years, and even before that I wanted Jake to be kept on, or Mallet to take over in 2012.
I expected more from Heyneke, as I think we all did. But I am sticking up for him on this point you brought up.
We need to support him and the team. We should praise, applaud and reward every step taken in the right direction.
And any coach would start the best kicking flyhalf when the team plays like the Boks do.
Its like PDiv in 2010 – no coach wouldve changed the team, yet when they got klapped in 3Ns everyone went crazy. Hindsight is an exact science, but the man who has to make the hard decisions in real-time as they happen, needs to be supported. Our team must be supported. And when the coach shows the realism and humility to make the necessary changes then it is certainly NOT "caving in"

Nissan's Murano stands out as offering one of the most stylish, best-trimmed, and best-appointed interiors from a non-luxury brand, with warm, soft-touch materials and color choices than make some other mainstream-brand crossover models seem drab.The Murano's powertrain, while not overtly sporty, is one of the smoothest and strongest in the segment--great for getting ahead at stoplights and making safe, quick passes on the highway. Ride quality is pretty impressive, especially with the standard 18-inch wheels-- it feels comfortable without being too floaty. This equates to confident handling without fatigue on longer drives.

Hartland Arrowhead, Waukesha Catholic Memorial and Mequon Homestead won state football titles Friday at Camp Randall in Madison.
Arrowhead (13-0) was well on its way to winning its fifth State title by halftime, taking a 35-0 lead into the locker room en route to a 35-14 win over Sun Prairie (12-1) in the Division 1 championship game at Camp Randall Stadium Friday.
The Warhawks scored five touchdowns on its first seven possessions. In contrast, the Cardinals punted on their first five possessions and turned the ball over on interceptions with their final two possessions of the first half. Sun Prairie scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter after the outcome of the game had already been determined.
Quarterback Brady Kelliher completed 15-of-23 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns to power the Warhawks' offense. The three scoring tosses tied a Division 1 record. Dom Todarello led Arrowhead in rushing and receiving gaining 68 yards rushing and 75 yards receiving. In addition, he tossed a touchdown pass on four passing attempts.
Ryan Curran connected on record 18 completions on 29 pass attempts for 129 yards for the Cardinals, and Ben Havlicek threw for a 68 yards and a touchdown. Donte Starlin-Merriam rushed for 48 yards, and Drew Mikalofsky caught a Division 1 record nine passes for 76 yards.
Sun Prairie finishes runner-up in its second appearance in the State final. Their only other appearance resulted in a championship in 1995.
Division 2
Senior quarterback Jake Laihinen rushed and passed for a touchdown and Mequon Homestead saved its best defensive performance for last, shutting out three-time defending champion Waunakee 14-0 in the WIAA Division 2 championship.
The victory gives Homestead (12-1) its fourth state championship since 1999 and its first in Division 2.
Despite going 1-for-11 on third downs, Homestead outgained Waunakee 258-215 and turned back the Warriors three times on fourth-down attempts inside its 5-yard line.
Giving up 10 points per game on the year, the Hilltoppers shut down a Waunakee offense that was averaging 40.3 points per contest during the season.
Waunakee (12-1) was looking to set a new WIAA record with its 49th straight victory, but was shut out for the first time since November 2005.

Iowa Patch Poll: Who Should Pay the Costs for Political Campaign Stops?
Frequent campaign stops can rack up bills for communities playing host to political candidates, such as President Barack Obama or GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Who should pay?
Campaign stops add up, and so do the bills for the cities and states playing host: security, traffic control, disruption of city services.
Some communities are trying to bill the campaigns. On Tuesday, the city council in Portsmouth, NH, voted 5-4 to bill the campaigns for President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney for any extra fees from campaign stops between now and the General Election. Selectmen in Windham, NH, debated sending the $5,000-plus bill for a stop last month to the Obama campaign, but decided against it.
Newport Beach, CA billed the Obama campaign $35,000 for security services rendered, and later $10,000 to the Romney camp for keeping the peace and closing streets. Meanwhile, last month, the DNC refused to reimburse $14,000 to Westport, CT, for expenses from an Obama stop.
Iowa communities have hosted Obama and Romney, and their surrogates, dozens of times this year. Just Friday, Obama was in Iowa City with VP Joe Biden and their spouses. The same day Romney descended on Orange City.
Is it worth the price for front-row seats to presidential politics, or should the campaigns dip into their multimillion-dollar war chests to pay their way?

In theory, one would think the respective campaign funds are paying for this. And, for Romney, this is probably true. For Obama , or anyone else in office, you can bet they are putting some of this on the taxpayers. Such as the extra security required, the shipping of the campaign bus on a military transport plane, shutting down of vendors near where the pres. will be ( remember the guy at the State Fair who lost 4+ hours of business on a busy busy day ?? ). And, all of these darn commercials on TV - what a huge waste of whoevers money it is. We could help out a lot of unemployed people if we were to actually concentrate on eliminating the waste.

Who should pay for campaign costs is a Gordian knot. If the president visits distressed communities hit by a natural disaster during the year he runs for reelection, is that a cost that should be borne by his campaign or the taxpayers? I can just imagine all the fights that would result from trying to decide who should pay in that case and others. Gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Set a time... Anywhere he goes for public appearances 6 months prior to election comes out of his campaign. An election ethics committee of 6 republicans 6 Dems and 2 independents could settle any disputes.

8:36 am on Monday, September 10, 2012
It seems like the campaigns should foot the bill for stops, when there is extra cost incurred because of it. Do they have any plan ahead of time for the community involved? It seems like if someone were going to have a campaign stop, their advance team would be requesting the resources needed. This would be a good opportunity to either say a) here's what we need and here's the x dollars to pay for it or b) community says, since you need this, it is going to cost x dollars...then negotiate and figure out how much the campaign will really pay.
On the other hand, it is unfortunate that we have live during times were we have to shut down streets and add extra security so that our leaders are safe during a campaign stop, and it seems that the campaign paying for a campaign stop is contradictory to democracy where only the affluent would be able to campaign.

He should not pay for the extra security because of the office. Just what a normal candidate costs.

obama bin laden has been on the re-election trail since taking office, he should be paying the travel bills. If he spent as much time working on our issues as trying to get re-elected he might be more than a one term loser.

It would be a terrible distinction to have a candidate meet tragedy in your hometown, but with the amount of money these campaigns are raising - $114 million for Obama and $111 million for Romney in August - are they better prepared to cover the costs than the towns?

+1, David Leonard! We can't have a big fight about who pays for campaign visits by incumbent presidents because it's too difficult to figure out when a visit by a sitting president is a "campaign" visit versus a presidential visit to people in need. We fight about enough things already, and idiotic snarking like "obama bin laden" is just too depressingly ignorant.

VETERANS be aware that Ryan has cut VA benefits and the Senate has voted it through. Congressional District #1 Republican Candidate Randy Altschuler and a few other Republican candidates around the nation are needed to pass this bill in the House in the next session. They only need a hand full of seats to get it done. Republican candidates, like Altschuler, are the key link. Read the NY Times today. Take your time, it's a bit complicated, which is what Romney and Ryan hoped for, so us veterans wouldn't be able to understand it. It comes down to one thing and one thing only: Either Romney and Ryan tell us veterans "There are NO CUTS in the Ryan Budget to VA benefits" or they're lying to us. The Times and Congressional Budget Office make it clear...HUGE CUTS have been made. Read the article: http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/edsall-the-ryan-sinkhole/?nl=opinion&emc=edit_ty_20120910
This is a game changer for this Republican. My family has many veterans and cutting their benefits is like the enemy cutting their throats. I never thought the Republicans would do this to us, but they have. It's already been voted upon in the Senate, but thanks to Democrats, it was stopped in the House. Read the Times and be careful voting for Republicans...they do not support veterans like they say they do and the proof is in their work in 2012.

Before you jump on that bandwagon I am a retired 20 year active duty Air Force member and in the four years I have been retired the President has denied my annual raise based on cost of living each year and this year in addition he raised my insurance premiums. I have not read the article so I won't speak to it but the Democrat in office doesn't support veterans either.

Come on people...you can only depend on the NYT to bring you left wing news. Think for yourselves, do not believe the media. Listening to the NYT is like listening to RUSH.

Unfortunately in this election people are voting based on the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, or their religious beliefs, not on what is best for the country as a whole. This election makes me sick.

VETERANS BEWARE...Ryan has cut VA benefits and the Senate has voted it through. Republican desperately need their Congressional candidates to win in order for them to pass this bill in the House, They only need a hand full of seats. Altschuler is the key link. Read the NY Times today. Take your time, it's a bit complicated, which is what Romney and Ryan hoped for, so us veterans wouldn't be able to understand it. It comes down to one thing and one thing only: Both Romney and Ryan must tell the truth to veterans "There are NO CUTS in the Ryan Budget to VA benefits" or they're lying to us. The NYTimes and Congressional Budget Office make it clear...HUGE CUTS have been made. Read the article: http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/edsall-the-ryan-sinkhole/?nl=opinion&emc=edit_ty_20120910

+1, Nurse Ratchet!! I read your link and it IS difficult to understand, but I think I get it. If would-be Twit Romney and Maul Ryan ever spit out all of the things they're for and all of the things they're against, I think even the Far Right would recoil in horror. Needless to say, they tell us "details to come after the election."
Not good enough for me.

Shawn Wolfe, I am very sorry to hear that the President has denied your annual raise based on the cost of living each year and this year he also raised your insurance premiums. President Obama is a huge disappointment, but Romney/Ryan would be much, much worse. Once again, we will have to choose between the lesser of two evils, and sad to say, Obama is much the lesser of two evils. Have you read Hay Farmer's link to the New York Times above? Veterans are targeted by the Ryan budget.

To each, his/her own opinion. I do agree..... we are in trouble with either choice. I do believe if Obama gets in again, our already out of control national debt crisis will sink the ship. The whole Obamacare thing has many many surprises in it that I don't believe anyone realizes yet ( and they won't until 2014 ). Most of the jabs at the american people are meant to take more of our money away ( a 3.8% federal tax when you sell your house ??? ). Businesses will suffer with increased fees. Since the unemployment issue has not improved any with Obama, who is to say it won't go to 12% , or 15 % or higher ?

V. Scheurich, if Seal Team Six can give grudging support for Pres. Obama's call to get Osama bin Laden, despite all of the risks, why can't you? Read "No Easy Day" about Seal Team Six's raid and the credit given to Jen, a CIA officer, for finding Osama bin Laden after looking for him for almost a decade.
She was "100% certain" that bin Laden was "the Pacer," and she was right.

No fresh snow? A scenic Tram ride for 360 degree views of 3 different states is still well worth it.
AFTER A FULL WEEK of school in Bozeman, it was nice to get back to Big Sky last weekend for some snowboarding – the life of a weekend warrior can be a rough one when you're forced to hit the books instead of the slopes five days a week.
It was sunny and warm out, and I was fortunate enough to have my parents in town for the weekend. Both in their 50s, my parents keep up with the best of them –not only did they ride with my friends all day long, but they rode longer than I did on both days. While my mom dialed in her skiing techniques on a few groomers, my dad, Ed, and I were able to tear around the open terrain.
After some fun Swift Current laps, the word was that the Tram was opening for scenic rides and runs on the Big Couloir. Usually when I take the Tram, it's an excited ride up and then a quick strap-in before I hit the runs off the top. But with such calm weather, we decided it would be worth it to take our time and kick it on the peak for a while.
It was an eerie ride up with only the two of us in the Tram, instead of the usual shoulder-to-shoulder crowd and excited buzz. At the top, all was peaceful and the Tetons were well in our view. We had the whole summit to ourselves and found ourselves lost in the beauty of the view of most of Southwest Montana.
After we left for the weekend, a storm rolled in on Wednesday leaving the peak covered in nine more inches of snow. Another foot came in on top Thursday night, and word from Ski Patrol is Liberty Bowl and Marx may be open for this weekend. I'm excited for the fresh powder, but I'm glad I got a chance to take in a purely scenic tram ride before the frenzy of fresh lines sets in. It's that kind of thing that reminds you that riding is more than just making turns – you can't beat a sunny day outside with family, friends, and a killer view.

Check out shots of Shane Stalling's riding at Ryan Kirk Phtography.
Go to 0:56 for shots of Shane in the terrain park during Big Sky's Opening Week.
A powder day Tram lap involves shouldering up to 14 other skiers and riders. Try ditching your skis or board at least once a season to spend some time just taking in the view at 11,166 feet.
When Stalling can't ski powder like this, no sweat. Any day spent on the mountain is a good day.
Stalling hits the books all week long, but come Saturday, it's the slopes he's hitting.

The days of surfing 100-foot waves may finally be here.
A wave surfed by Garrett McNamara off Nazare in Portugal on Monday appears to have reached the mythical 100-foot mark. If it is that big, it will have broken McNamara's own world record of 78 feet, earned on a wave at Nazare in November 2011.
"It definitely took longer (than the previous world best) but I can't say if it was bigger," McNamara told www.surfertoday.com.
Of course, his previous wave was initially thought to be a 90-foot wave before the Guinness Book of World Records downgraded it to the smaller, but still formidable, size. It still earned the Hawaiian surfer the Billabong XXL's Biggest Wave Award and its $15,000 prize.
McNamara, 45, who also won the 2012 XXL Biggest Wipeout Award, was a Mavericks Invitational alternate this year.
If McNamara's wave is verified even close to as big as estimated, it will push a Maverick's wave ridden by Carlos Burle to No. 5 on the list of biggest waves ever ridden. All waves of that size were conquered through tow-in, rather than paddle-in, surfing.
"It's really impressive. It's a huge wave," said Santa Cruz surfer Shawn Dollar.
Dollar set the record for the biggest wave paddled into in 2010, when he caught a 55-footer during an

German Titles:
Die Tribute von Panem - The Hunger Games / Die Tribute von Panem - Tödliche Spiele
Director: Gary Ross
"Battle Royale" or "Running Man".
Fast-paced, action-packed and entertaining, but also pretty emotional and empathic, thanks to Ross' strong direction and a fabulously written script, but also visually stunning due to many gorgeous, colorful settings, eye-catching costumes, top notch CGI and fantastic camera work (many cool close-ups, terrific shaky-cam).
It could have been more brutal and less romantic in the last act, but aside from that, "The Hunger Games" is a very well made and deeply satisfying,
in terms of intelligence and craftsmanship comparable to last year's "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes".

Kemba is better.
I thought he was very reasoned w/ his comments. I think he could have said a lot of negatives (and still might down the road) as to how this organization was running and I still would have thought it fair.
I wish him the best although I never thought it was clear he was the leader we needed in Felton's absence. Great competitor when healthy (and he wasn't always last year), but maybe not the voice of the franchise on the court.

Higgins with a quick reply.
Screw DJ...never liked him.
I think DJ Augustine was such a mixed bag that he actually confused everyone. One game he looks like he is an all-star, the next he looks like he is a D-League hopeful then the next four he seems like he is comfy with mediocrity. I think they treated him too good.. the organization made moves seemingly to accommodate him and give him more playing time and make him a focal point. When you play like DJ does, that role changes.. simple as that. Bobcats are better off without him.

I always liked DJ. Have no issues with him leaving for Indy. Not going to disparage him. He played the best he could for Charlotte, and I appreciate all he did for the team. Hated to see him go, but I hope he is happy.
hindsight is a funny thing, when I was new to basketball after we drafted DJ I bet my friend he would become an all star ahead of Jeff Teague... love being wrong :/
But DJ was the first guy we drafted when I was following the team so I will always have some affinity to him, good guy not in the right situation if you ask me.

Texas Gas Prices Up 4 Cents per Gallon
By: GasBuddy.com
Updated: July 9, 2012
Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices yesterday were 31.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 14.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 15.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 21.4 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
"After a dramatic decline in gasoline prices in virtually every region in the past month, gasoline prices have started to rise," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "While I don't necessarily believe that the recent uptick in crude prices will stick, I also don't see prices falling considerably lower until after the conclusion of the summer driving season, when demand declines, and more expensive blends are phased out," DeHaan said.

The Supreme Court's review of health reform means any or all of the law's mandates, such as coverage of adult dependents up to age 26 and protections for people with pre-existing conditions, could be in jeopardy.
But health insurance exchanges -- which also must be set up as part of the law -- may survive and flourish even if the entire Affordable Care Act is struck down, industry experts said. Exchanges are meant to offer cheaper health plans, so more of the nation's 32 million uninsured can afford coverage.
Regardless of what happens to the health reform law, "there is bipartisan support for states having some kind of health insurance exchanges," said Christopher Condeluci, a tax attorney with law firm Venable LLP and former tax counsel to the Senate Finance Committee.
Among other things, health reform mandates that by 2014 all states set up a health insurance "exchange," an online marketplace where consumers who are underinsured or uninsured will be able to shop for subsidized coverage, and small businesses can buy more affordable plans for their workers.
The law also gives states federal grants to help build their exchanges.
The Court, which is expected to announce its ruling on the constitutionality of the Act later this month, could uphold the law, overturn it partially, or completely strike it down.
If the law is struck down completely, the loss of federal grants will make it harder for states to start exchanges, said Brett Graham, head of the Insurance Exchange Practice at law firm Leavitt Partners in Salt Lake City, Utah.
But the "train has already left the station" and some states will establish exchanges anyway, Graham said.
Indeed, even before health reform passed in 2010, Massachusetts and Utah already operated insurance exchanges. And a handful of states were exploring setting them up as a way to cut their health care spending by getting more residents insured, said Dan Schuyler, former director of technology who helped launch Utah's exchange in 2009.
With fewer uninsured people, there's less financial burden on states' public health-care programs such as Medicaid.

The following piece, "Beau Brummels on £60 a Year," was written by author Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited) in 1929. The strategy remains valid today.
Of course, there is really only one way of being perfectly dressed - that is, to be grossly rich. You may have exquisite discrimination and the elegance of a gigolo, but you can never rival the millionaire if he has even the faintest inclination towards smartness. He orders suits as you order collars, by the dozen. His valet wears them for the first three days so that they never look new, and confiscates them after three months so that they never look old. He basks in a perpetual high noon of bland magnificence.
It is useless to compete against him. If your object in choosing your clothes is to give an impression of wealth, you had far better adopt a pose of reckless dowdiness and spend your money in maintaining under a hat green and mildewed with age a cigar of fabulous proportions. If, however, you have no intention of deceit, but simply, for some reason, happen to like being well dressed, it is essential to have at least two tailors.
There are about a dozen first-rate tailors in London whose names you may always see quoted by the purveyors of 'mis-fit' clothing. Below them are about a hundred rather expensive eminently respectable unobtrusive shops in fashionable streets, where your uncles have bought their clothes since undergraduate days. Below them are several hundreds of quite cheap very busy little shops in the City and business quarters. The secret of being well dressed on a moderate income is to choose one of the first-rate and and one of the third-rate tailors and maintain a happy balance between them.
There are some things, an evening tail-coat for instance, which only a first-rate tailor can make. On the other hand, the difference between a pair of white flannel trousers costing five guineas in Savile Row or George Street and one costing two guineas in the Strand is practically negligible. The same applies to almost all country clothes. It is not necessary or particularly desirable that these, except of course the riding breeches, should be obtrusively well cut.
The chief disadvantage of small tailors is that they usually have such a very depressing selection of patterns. It is a good plan to buy all your tweeds direct from the mills in Scotland and to have them made up. Another disadvantage of the small tailor is that he never knows what is fashionable. At least once every eighteen months you should spend fifteen guineas in getting a suit in Savile Row, which will serve as a model for him.
It is never wise to allow any one except a first-rate tailor to attempt a double-breasted waistcoat; in some mysterious way this apparently simple garment is invariably a failure except in expert hands. But you can safely leave all trousers which are not part of a suit, even evening trousers, which ought, in any case, to be made of a rather heavier material than the coat, to our less expensive shop. The most magnificent-looking traveling coat I ever saw had been made up for four guineas from the owner's own stuff by the second -best tailor in a cathedral town.
It is usually an economy to buy your hosiery at an expensive shop. It is essential that evening shirts and waistcoats should be made to your measure; cheap ties betray their origin in a very short time.
There is only one completely satisfactory sort of handkerchief - the thick squares of red and white cotton in which workmen carry their dinners. Socks wear out just as quickly whatever their quality, and are the one part of a man's wardrobe which ought never to attract attention. Expensive shoes are a perfectly sound investment, particularly if you keep six or seven pairs and always put them on trees when they are not in use.
Waugh goes on to calculate that by using a mix of the great and the merely good a man could be well tailored for the sum of £60 a year in 1929 money. Converting the cost of a Savile Row suit in 1929, some 13 pounds and change, to the current price lets us estimate that Waugh's proposed purchases (a couple bespoke suits, shoes, accessories, country clothes and fractions of outerwear and evening wear) could be made today for roughly £9,000 (about $14,000) a year.
$14,000 is of course still a contemporary millionaire's budget, or that of a man who makes a priority of his clothing, but when Waugh was advising his readers how to look like Brummels without the resources of the 'grossly rich' he was referring to his own upper middle class struggles to look good in the company of people with Mitt Romney's sort of income. And that can be done for $14,000 a year.

In an effort to have several alternate game sites listed under one "thread," I'm repeating this earlier post: The Backgammon is great, and doesn't cheat (other than maybe rolling a few too many doubles for the computer!). The board is a bit small, but you can choose your difficulty level, play against a human or the computer, and it plays by the rules! There are a bunch more games that look good, too. I tried "Arithmetiles" last night and was soon addicted. Thanks to "libra1939" for posting this link. I'm also addicted to KenKen (math puzzles): http://www.kenken.com/. You can choose the size and difficulty level. We may not be able to convince AARP to fix their games, but at least we can help each other find other sites we enjoy! |

Ok, I finally have got the money to complete my computer setup. Mostly just need software. Do you guys know any good video editing programs and music editing programs? If so comment and say how much it costs or not thanks! :) |
Jordi knows a lot about video editing software. If I recall correctly they are mostly good for audio as well. If you're looking for a free option you can try out Audacity. |
Audacity is a pretty good choice for music editing. As for video editing, most go with Premiere or FinalCut. |
FinalCut is exclusively for Macs. I assume you're using a Windows system which basically leaves you with Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas for video. Audacity is actually a decent audio editing program if you aren't looking to do anything too fancy. It's good for cleaning up audio, some of the effects don't give the same level of fidelity as other tools like Sound Forge. |
Audacity is the bomb and it is free. I use Vegas Pro 10 (however that is a lot of money.) If you want an easy music making program I suggest FL Studio. And If you need a good screen capture program there is FRAPS, which a lot of folks use, and there is Camtasia Studio as well( not as good as fraps, but there are tons of ways to get it for free on youtube.) |
Yeah I was thinking of getting Vegas. However, plans for going to pax next year got in the way money wise. What is your youtube channel so I can see your videos? |
Just pirate it! |
yeah video software I use: Premiere for editing combined with after effects for video effects, theres also another program I've used called HitFilm. that one combines the best parts of premiere and aftereffects, and its like $350 compared to the couple of k's for adobe and theres a TON of tutorial online on how to do stuff on hitfilm. i personally hate final cut and motion on mac because I got used to using keyframes for everything the way adobe does it but final cut can get videos made and in good quality. And i cant say much about vegas because i've never used it. those are my 2 cents on video editing software :P |
then what's with the eye patch and the peg leg? |
devon, i would suggest using audacity like other people said, and then jus tuse fraps for recording and then you can use garageband to make cool loops of songs and stuff! jmtcm |
you can't just make up your own acronyms...tijs that is just stupid |

These were provided by a listener. This display is the work of a UWGB adjunct art professor, which were displayed on campus. Also included is the official statement from UWGB. We'll discuss this after 10 on the show this morning.
Dear Mr. Bader,
On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, in my position as director of communication, I am sharing basic information I have been able to gather this week about the exhibit that was displayed for five days last month, and about the 407 Gallery space in question.
I hope this background is helpful. As I mentioned in our brief phone conversation a few minutes ago, the University welcomes discussion of the larger issues, and we strongly support your right to criticize the art and to express your opinion. Likewise, though, we strongly support freedom of expression by our students, faculty and others. We would hope you agree.
With regard to the 407 Gallery, it has not been the practice here for administrators to pre-approve or censor exhibits in this experimental student-managed space. Nor should it be in a public university. That's simply the nature of a university and a university art program, where free expression is encouraged and it is not at all unusual for course content or gallery exhibits, on occasion, to strike some observers as provocative.
Incidentally, I only saw the full series of images myself for the first time yesterday, posted by the artist at his own personal website, http://christophercannonart.com/home.html . I'll leave the decision to you as to whether to broadcast that link to the public, and therefore direct traffic and publicity to his site, or to display the jpgs on your own site, should you choose.
As for background on this particular exhibit and the 407 Gallery:
• I can confirm that during the week of Jan. 25 through 29, an exhibit by Green Bay-based artist Christopher Cannon was displayed in the student-managed 407 Gallery. Cannon is also a part-time adjunct instructor with UW-Green Bay. He is contracted to teach occasional courses as enrollment demands require, and is teaching two sections of drawing this semester. He also teaches art courses at St. Norbert College.
• The Cannon exhibit consisted of a series of 25 silk-screen prints on paper, each measuring approximately 22-by-30 inches. Each of the prints manipulated in some way the face portrayed in the widely sold painting titled "The Head of Christ" by 20th century American painter Warner Sallman. The spectrum of variations ranged from prints that closely mimicked Sallman's iconic original, to prints that, clearly, did not. There was no artist's statement posted inside the gallery.
• To be absolutely clear, this space is not the primary public gallery at UW-Green Bay. The much-larger and more accessible Lawton Gallery, located in Theatre Hall, is managed by a faculty member who serves as the curator of art. (The Lawton Gallery rents touring shows and also mounts its own exhibits, typically spotlighting faculty and top student artists.) The 407 Gallery is located on the top floor of the Studio Arts Building. It is primarily a place for student exhibitions; they sign up to reserve the space for the week of their choice on a first-come, first-served basis. Coordinating use of the room is a student from the Advanced Gallery and Museum Studies course. Students get a chance to see what their peers are up to; the art faculty describes it as an "experimental" space. The artists themselves are responsible for set-up and take-down. Beyond allowing use of this designated room, the institution does not subsidize, reimburse or contract with the artists volunteering to exhibit.
• In recent years, the 407 Gallery on several occasions has featured the work of adjunct (part-time) faculty members or outside artists. It is my understanding that, in this instance, Cannon stepped in to fill the space after a late cancellation by a University student.
• I can't even venture a guess as to how many people might have seen the Cannon exhibit. Facilities staff unlocks the door in the morning and locks it at night; there is no attendant present. The fourth floor of Studio Arts is not a high-traffic destination, with only faculty/staff offices and a few classrooms. The main, working art studios themselves are located three floors below, in a different wing of the facility.
• As of this writing, the University has received no written inquiries regarding the Cannon exhibit. I checked with the Chancellor's Office, the art program, the curator of art… and all tell me they have not heard from anyone on campus or from the community. (I asked specifically about formal contacts in writing, made to these specific offices or individuals, for which we might have a record. As for informal or spoken inquiries, it's my belief that, here too, yours is the first.) Additionally, as is customary at most art galleries, including the institution's Lawton Gallery and the 407 in Studio Arts, a guestbook or notebook was available for entries during the week of the Cannon exhibit. A faculty member who reviewed the entries told me the show elicited the usual level of anonymous critiques, (maybe a couple more entries than usual, but still only 15 or 20) with a mixed viewer response to the art. Several wrote that they found the work offensive.
So, those are some facts, as I know them, about the 407 Gallery and Christopher Cannon's exhibit. Frankly, I was unaware of this exhibit until earlier this week, nearly a month after it was displayed. That's not unusual. While my office has primary responsibility for publicizing the University's major public exhibits in the Lawton Gallery, we don't track Gallery 407 content. If there is any promotion at all, it's my impression the artists themselves typically tack or tape up homemade or handwritten flyers, mostly in the Studio Arts Building where the art and visual design programs are headquartered.
In closing, I should make clear that I am conveying background here for the institution, proper, and its administrative leadership. Individual faculty members, artists and students, of course, speak for themselves. We have 6,500 students and 600 employees and I am sure there will be some among your interested listeners and active participants if you choose to discuss this topic on-air.
