Northland Nature: Fiddleheads rise from the forest floor
By the time May exits and we step into the new month of June, we can look out onto a forest where all the trees have green leaves.
By the time May exits and we step into the new month of June, we can look out onto a forest where all the trees have green leaves.
The large trees of oak and basswood, along with a varied trio of ash, sumac and bigtooth aspen, are the last ones to grow this green foliage. Even these late arrivals take on this color and the woods becomes one of leafy and shady conditions for the next several months.
This year, the slow and cool spring has stretched all the way through May. The month that is usually our greening time has become one of trying to get green.
Slow leafing of the tall trees has its advantages for us, and I have noticed that the birds that frequently get lost in the upper foliage were easier to observe than usual. I have been able to get excellent views of warblers, vireos and flycatchers as they seek meals.
The sunlight has also been able to penetrate to the forest floor throughout this month. Typically, the last week of May is one of shade. Vernal wildflowers that grow and bloom during bright times are making the best of this slow greening.
These plants were also behind normal time this spring, and during a recent walk I was able to locate only about a dozen kinds of flowers, about half of what I normally find at this time.
Hepatica, spring beauty, bloodroot, trout-lily, bellwort, trillium, wood anemone, wild strawberry, wild ginger, marsh marigold and violets showed their petals. I hope the others that normally are in bloom by this date will find enough light to bloom a bit later.
Even though several species were not flowering, their green leaves spread across the forest floor. These plants, mixed with the sedges and wild leek so common here, made for a pleasant green scene, even if other colors may have been absent.
Among the leaves and blooms of the flowering plants are the new growths of non-flowering ones as well, the ferns.
Each May my spring wildflower walks are made more attractive with the addition of the new fern growths. Ferns do not have flowers, and instead put forth a large new leaf each year from an underground stem. Living as they do, the stem may be many years old, and survives winter beneath the soil.
With no flowers, ferns belong to a different group of plants, and so have their own terminology. The subterranean stem is called a rhizome. The leaf that grows up from it is known as a frond. And since the leaves unfold in an appearance somewhat like that of scrolls, they are called fiddleheads.
Typically, May is fiddlehead season. Each fern begins its above-ground life with its own type of fiddlehead. The shady woods of the Northland are excellent places for these plants, and ferns thrive here throughout the summer.
Though they can be highly varied, most of the woods that I've walked in reveals about ten to fifteen kinds. Each has a unique frond and, in spring, the fiddlehead can be used to recognize its species.
During my walks in the past week, I've found the fiddleheads of several kinds, but it is the growths of three large ferns that stand out and become easy to identify. All three, the ostrich fern, interrupted fern and lady fern, abound in the woods, and all grow to be about two- to three feet tall, more in wet years.
And with the moisture that we received in the past couple of months, the fiddleheads appear ready to go.
Ostrich fiddleheads are a rich dark green. Those of the interrupted fern are very hairy, causing the growth to appear almost gray. And the lady fern has a green leafy part with a covering of black threads and scales. They will frequently grow near each other and I have many times seen all during a single walk on a trail.
Among some foragers, fiddleheads are considered a delicacy and they add a delight to meals of spring. I have found that the best advice is that some fiddleheads are edible, and gathering and eating them is similar to doing so with mushrooms. Collect them with an expert.
But eaten or not, the addition of fiddleheads to our forest flora is a visual delight. Soon they'll rapidly open to the new fern fronds that will grace the shady woods all summer.

2011 NFL Preview: Back(ers) in Black, Gold ... and Purple
Friday, September 09, 2011 By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Steelers and Ravens always have something else going for them when they meet besides close games, brutal hitting and a division title on the line. They have great linebackers, lots of them. "The Steelers and Ravens, I think, are by far the quality linebackers of this league," said Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. "When you look at the Pro Bowl team, somehow it's those two teams, all four guys." He's not far off. The Steelers have had six linebackers make 13 Pro Bowl teams over the past 10 years. The Ravens have had five linebackers make 16 Pro Bowl teams in the past decade. Each has had a linebacker as NFL defensive player of the year in the previous 10 years -- Ray Lewis of Baltimore in 2003 (he also earned the award in '00) and James Harrison in '08. "I think over the years you look at how these teams are built with their front seven, that's always been the staple for both teams," Lewis said this week. "For years and years, you look at the draft and the guys they bring in every year, and it's always a boatload of talent at the linebacker position. One of the reasons is because of the different types of blitz schemes and things that we do. "These are two franchises that truly believe in their linebackers." The Steelers' starting four contains three who have made Pro Bowls -- Harrison, James Farrior and LaMarr Woodley -- and Lawrence Timmons, whom the Steelers believe will get there soon. The Ravens have a sure-fire Hall of Famer in Lewis, another Pro Bowler in Terrell Suggs and two others that Arians says are underrated and disruptive, Jarret Johnson and Jameel McClain. "Oh, God, it's like watching us play," Arians said of the Ravens linebackers. "Our defenses are so similar. They play a little bit more even front than we do but those four guys ... the guy who is underrated is Jarret Johnson. His motor is nonstop. He's going full force. McClain is kind of like Timmons, he's a fast guy. And Ray and Farrior, you can't fool them."
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause and effect, but actually from a non-linear non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff. |

ESPNsoccernet: England |
Aston Villa's disappointment at slipping back into the Premier League's bottom three has been heightened by fresh concerns over their absentee defensive kingpin Richard Dunne.
At a time when Ron Atkinson has cited a lack of leaders as one of the biggest problems facing his former club in their survival battle, the Republic of Ireland international has suffered a blow in his comeback plans.
Dunne, 33, was considered to be on the verge of returning to Paul Lambert's youthful defence but the manager has given a worrying update in the wake of the 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United.
"It looks like he has had a setback," the manager said. "We will have to wait and see over the next few days whether it settles down again. He trained on Monday but came in today (Tuesday) and felt something."
With supporters close to giving up on any hope of transfer-market reinforcements before the window shuts on Thursday night, Dunne's availability would feel like a big boost as he hasn't played for the club since the defeat at Norwich at the end of last season. He then had five outings for the Republic before and at Euro 2012.
The Dubliner's two previous clubs, Everton and Manchester City, appear ominously on Villa's fixture list over the next month and a half, with a trip to Arsenal also thrown in. It is a tough run for a side low on confidence but at least midfielder Fabian Delph may be fit after a sprained ankle for the first of those assignments, at Goodison Park on Saturday.
And Gabby Agbonlahor, who won the penalty that accelerated last night's sustained but unavailing rescue bid against Newcastle, said: "In the second-half performance, there was a lot more fight and belief. We have to take some heart out of that for Everton."
Lambert acknowledges that his squad have to 'fight like hell' to haul themselves out of a hole that deepened with the good draws gleaned by QPR and Wigan on Tuesday.
Villa have taken only two points from their last seven League games, conceding 22 goals and scoring five in the process while also going out of the two domestic cups to lower-division opposition.
"If things don't go your way, people don't want to make mistakes," the manager said. "They want to play the safe pass.
"The performance against Newcastle was night and day between the first and second half. We were too deep in the first half and too reserved with our passing. We are going to have to fight like hell to get ourselves out of it."

BP Comment Quick Links
September 24, 2013 What You Need to KnowMonday in Playoff ImplicationsDefensive Play(s) of the Day Cubs third base coach David Bell saw the misplay in right-center field and decided to go all in on Schierholtz's wheels versus Andrew McCutchen's arm. That gamble, thanks to a fine throw from the center fielder and an outstanding relay by Justin Morneau, proved unwise. The Monday Takeaway Schierholtz was gunned down at the plate, and the Pirates emerged with a 2-1 victory. Moments later, the Reds, who began the day knotted with the Bucs atop the National League wild card standings, earned a walkoff victory over the Mets on a 10th-inning double by Shin-Soo Choo. Those wins shaved both Cincinnati's and Pittsburgh's magic numbers down to one. All that separated the Reds and Pirates from a guaranteed playoff berth was a Cardinals win over the Nationals, who hung around as long as they could but were bound to eventually fall short. Not long after the second-place teams in the division drew a half-game closer to the first-place Cards, Mike Matheny's club restored its two-game lead, eliminated the Nats, and ensured that three teams would represent the Central in October.

If Francois Hougaard gets his way, Saturday's final test of the year against England will also be the last time he wears the Springbok No 11 on his back.
After being switched between wing and scrumhalf for much of the five years he has been playing senior professional rugby, the 23-year-old Bulls star says he has had enough – he wants to be used exclusively as a No 9 from now on.
Hougaard, speaking after the Bok team announcement on Wednesday, is a product of the Western Province Rugby Institute in Stellenbosch, and he appears to have a view that coincides with that of the two top men at the Institute, Stef Nel and Jacques Hanekom.
The pair said in an interview during 2010 that they felt Hougaard's move to the Bulls to play behind Fourie du Preez, and subsequent selections on the wing, would hurt Hougaard's development as a scrumhalf. They both
believed their star pupil of an earlier intake had what it took to become the best No 9 in the world if he played there more regularly.
"My preferred position is definitely scrumhalf and I do think that playing wing as much as I have been has hurt my play as a scrumhalf," said Hougaard.
"I have made it known to the coaches at the Bulls that scrumhalf is where I want to specialise from now on. I will only develop as a scrumhalf if I play there regularly. What I need is a full pre-season where I work only as a scrumhalf, and then to play only as a scrumhalf when the season starts. That will get me thinking like a scrumhalf.
"There are a lot of technical aspects of scrumhalf that require a heck of a lot of hard work and preparation, and I just haven't been able to put in the time that is needed as I have been playing so much on the wing. Playing 10 minutes or so as a scrumhalf later in the game after playing the first part as a wing is not going to help me develop into the player I want to be."
There was a perception among Bok management members at the last World Cup that Hougaard may now have become more of a wing than a scrumhalf, and that when it comes to wanting to specialise in the position, the No 9 bus has already left the station. But Hougaard disagrees.
"I think I can catch up what I have missed, I don't think that is a problem. It's just about me getting maximum time to work on my craft as a scrumhalf. I am confident that once I do that, it will start coming together for me," said Hougaard. Of course, both at Springbok and at Bulls level there are other talented scrumhalves about. Hougaard though is prepared to challenge from the bench if that is what he is required to do.
"I am not afraid of competition, I realise that someone like Jano Vermaak is a really good player at the Bulls and he may keep me out of the team. But I am prepared for that. I would rather be on the bench as a scrumhalf and working on my scrumhalf game than playing on the wing, where I won't have the opportunity to hone my skills as a No 9."
There was a perception that it was Hougaard's kicking game that let him down in the tests earlier this year and saw him end up being displaced by Ruan Pienaar, but Hougaard says there is nothing specific about being a scrumhalf that he intends working on.
"I just want to work on all aspects, particularly the decision making. I just want to get used to thinking as a scrumhalf again," he said.
"I must say I have felt bad being on this tour and seeing Lwazi Mvovo on the bench because I am playing wing. He has had an excellent year and maybe it's time for him to be given an opportunity."
One thing that is clear is that regardless of where he plays him, coach Meyer has a high regard for Hougaard the rugby player. He is one of the few players who has played every test during the Meyer tenure so far.
I would really like to see Hougaard as our scrummie - but he fouled up in that position this year. If he can remedy the problems he encountered he would be out main scrummie in future. He must speed up his service and improve his kicking game as a start. Also reading the game better would help. Looking forward to see how he is doing in Super 15 next year.
He did not foul up at all, the odd charge down and Meyer lost faith in him, highlighting the coaches shortcommings as a player manager. Meyer is a complete fool for moving Hougaard to the wing and his results vindicate that.
Pienaar has been no better and is just another kicking weapon that serves no productivty
You are the lone voice in the desert that do not want to rexcofnise that something wenr wtong in Hougaard's game. believe me Hougaard did make some serious mistakes. Early in the tests he fouled up bt running mostly sideways before he passed balls. His service was cosequently slo and ineffctive. That went hand-in-hand with chargedown kicks as well as ineefective kicking in general, Although he improved hispassing game - his kicking game was atrouciously bad - so much so that the great admirer of kicking (Meyer) was upset and moved him to the wing.
Hougaard was particularlt poor in the third POM test in PE and replaced early.
Nobody would want to see Hougaard not as the Springbok scrummie - but there is a sunstantial amount of improvement needed and he could get that by some sound advice from prominent scrummies like Serfontein. He would not get proper coaching from the Bulls set-up - so I hope he spent some real time with experts and see what then happens.
@clevermike & saffex, i agree with parts of ur arguments, ultimately hougaards place in the Boks in the future is at halfback, but for the immediate future hes the 2nd choice halfback after pienaar and rightfully so. during the english test series and the first puma test, the Bok forwards were horrendus in the breakdown area, failing to secure the are and hougaard had to fight tooth and nail for the ball almost 80% of the time he was on the feild. i thought SA teams in the spXV had the same problem and come june this had been transeferred onto the big stage. hougaard isnt completely free from blame, but IMHO had pienaar been starting instead of hougaard during those times, then it could very well have been a role reversal, with hougaard being preferred as the No9 and pienaar relegated to either the bench or his many other positions. 2013 can be used by hougaard as a clean slate, where he can work on some of the shortcomings in his game, his box kicking and ball delivery but more importantly, putting his foot down and ordering those forwards and telling them exactly what he wants, somethiung i think is a very importnat part of a halfbacks game and very weak in hougaards. hougaard has been the biggest beneficary of jp pietersons and habanas injuries, as both injuries have made his selection in the starting lineup a lot easier, had both been fit and available all year it would have been interesting to see what meyer would have done. it could have been the open door for jp to move to 13 like i and a few others have been saying, or it could have put hougaard on the bench, where he might possibly have had more gametime at HB, even if it was of the bench. IMO meyer has screwd up big time, especially on the EOYT, against the likes of scotland it would have been a great opportunity to start hougaard at 9 and give him a chance to prove himslef, instead meyer is desperate and wants only to win by any means necessary, so he dields his strongest team possible, while half the dwuad are yet to get a single minute of gametime. mkaes me wonder how many people does meyer need to hold up tackle bags, while not the best comparison, but All Blacks have already given all 32 members of their squad gametime, including two new debutants barlow who has played 35mins of rugby and coles who has played 41mins.
Ag kak Mike there was nothing wrong with his fundamental skills at 9 this year, his service has been as sharp as ever and tacticts dictated that he could not play his usual attacking game. This was of course not assisted by the fact that his forwards were hardly doing a good job of protecting him.
Its all just complete bullshit and if you take note of 9's playing these days you will note that they all tend to take steps before passing - pay attention and you will notice this very fact
There's a laugh. He plays the whole S15 at 9, then plays the tests at 9.....until Meyer realizes he is not cutting it. Then largely because of injuries to JP and Habana he has a test reprieve at 11. This is treated like some kind of imposition?
The only reason he is not starting at 9 on Saturday is because he messed up....period!
when the halfback takes a few steps before passing the ball, it is known as arching. the idea is that the halfback evaluates the situation at hand and those few steps are usually enough to stop looseforwards around the fringes from rushing the first reciever and can also be used to draw the attention of the defending flyhalf putting him in two minds on defence. its very effective if accurately executed and hougaards skill set mkaes it perfect for him, but like i maintained before, it dosent mean jack if the Bok forwards doint muscle up around the breakdown. ball security is the key, no point in giving the halfback the ball if hes got defence in his face coming at him from every which way and that was a huge weakness of the Bok forwards in their first 4 test matches of 2012, it improved the wallby test matches and aagiunst the All blacks in dunedin, but went back to kak during the sowetto rampage.
The only reason he is not starting at 9 is because he is playing under a coach who week by week displays more and more ignorance when it comes to selections, game plans and player management. Only a complete fool would move one of his best attacking players away from the action at 9.
Othert than the odd charge down, what exactly did Hougaard do wrong at 9? Take you time old fart
If you can't figure out that this is not about a few charge downs....I can't help you.
I know you can't help for you have no answers just as I thought. Fact is no-one has the answers for there was never really an issue. Why should there be, he has been a revelation there after du Preez departure, has played there all his life, why on earth would he suddenly just lose the ability to play 9 - what complete rubbish.
Its much like your crap that Taute is only about the crash ball or inside step, that Steph du Toit was physically not up to S15 rugby, that Frans is too slow at 12, that Fourie never amounted to much, that JJ cant tackle.......oh man the list is endless. If he happens to be a SA player he will invariably be flawed unless of course he is Jean, de Jongh, Morne or Adi
All those statements remain true.:
1) Whatever the reason Hougaard was a horribly hesitant scrumhalf, our game picked up every time Pienaar subbed for him. I was surprised by this, but had to accept the facts. He was getting worse by the game.
2) Taute has no real guile as a runner, and the usual nothing inside step. He is no better than Olivier as best I can see....and Olivier at least had a good long pass.
3)Steph du Toit was over powered and hurt in his few S15 appearnces. Not nearly physically mature.
4) Frans looked dreadfully slow and really did nothing until he was hurt. He has no acceleration at 12, that doesn't augur well.
5) Fury was an opportunistic player, much like Campese. The difference is Campese became more of a factor when matches got close.....Fury was a great player when the Boks were dominant, the invisible man when they were in trouble.
So there you are....the facts as I see them.
Thats your problem those are not facts at all - for a start Steph du Toit only played one or two S15 games, got hurt taking a kick off, it had stuff all to do with maturity or the opponents.
Pienaar was woeful in his first start for the Boks when he replaced Hougaard
Taute has proved all S15 that there is far more to him than you would ever make out. There is a reason he gained more metres, made more breaks, beat more defenders than any other SA 13 in that comp. What makes that even more impressive is the fact that he was playing for the Lions........compare that to de Jongh of the Stormers who did squat all S15
What bullshit re Fourie, the man has scored 35 or so test tries in 60 tests, opportunist my arse - class act he is and by far our best since Danie Gerber
Peel the onion one more time and you find:
Steph du Toit was tossed around by the mature buggers.
Pienaar was selected to universal approval, precisely because he did improve the flow.
Taute has played 3 tests at centre without making one solitary clean break.
Fourie scored lots of tries against the weaker nations courtesy of 3 RWCs. But his strike rate against NZ and Oz was much inferior to Joubert's and his open field defence almost lost us the Fiji test and thus the RWC.
In essence I do agree with you on most of the issues and players mentioned.- especially in respect of Hougaard and Francois Steyn. In the case of Taute I don't view his performances as anywhere below that of De Jongh - matter of fact De Jongh really has done nothing in the past year to justify his selection and he did zilch against the Scots as well.
I do believe Meyer and the player himself regard his future playing career as playing ar full back and not at center. Saffex does not want to accept that scenario and keep on insisting that he should play at 13. Some players can adjust in positional play - others are not so effective if they play in positions other than their preferred one.Taute performed better at full back for the Lions than he did at center - but nothing will convince Dave otherwise.
Insofar as Francois Steyn is concerned I also believe that he slowed down and was ineefective in the tests he played in this year. Saffex will blame everyone else - but the player himsel - for under-performing.
Where you are actually talking nonsence is that Steph Du Toit was tossed around by more mature players. There was no evidence of that in the games he played on Super 15 level. You probably base your argument on one incident where he was tackled back by TWO players. For the rest he performed well in the games and he was injured - a leg injury. The second game he played in he was played despite the fact that his injury was not properly healed and left the field early. Nobody can make a judgement like you did above without real evidence and you have none. I personally think you are prejudiced against younger players and can remember similar remarks about Etzebeth as recently as three months ago. Neither you nor Saffex has any proof that Du Toit would make it or not make it n Super 15 level next year and neither can anyone say he would make it into the Springbok team or not. The guy was 19 this year and will only be 20 next year. Etzebeth really came to the fore at 20 - not at 19.
Incidemntally I also have reservations about Fourie - but he has a huge cult-following - so I do think reservations would be disputed.
Satements about players should have substance and in the latter case it is missing. We will always differ on players performances. You said for instance Steenkamp was good against th Scots - I said he was effective in scrummaging for `15 to 20 minutes and then flizzeled out. That shows how diferent people sea games - so lets leave it at that.
Incidentally all the players mentioned - except FATSO - will have a lot to proof in Super 15 next year - and I believe the norm for selection should be perforrmance - based and not based on reputation or anything remotely related to age - provided the selection of players older than 29 should be minimized and again depends on performance. There is no way that an under-performing player - whether he was a Springbok or not - would perform satisfactoily on test level if their Super 15 performances are sub-par - end of story.
After reading this article I have a new respect for Hougard. He openly states that he is prepared to play behind Vermaak and earn his place at scrummy. A very balanced and down to earth guy by the sound of it. Also, I agree 100% with what he says, he should play all his rugby at 9. Let me point out something here, a few years back, Pienaar was in exactly the same position, being moved around from one position to the next. Once he put his foot down, and decided the specialise at 9, he became the more settled player we see today. Hougard has X factor oozing from his pores, and that is why Meyer has kept him in the team, even if that means playing him out of position. But If he can settle at 9 and perfect the skills needed for that position, and bring his X-Factor to the mix, he will be a world beater. He is very fast, and freakishly strong for his size, the perfect candidate.
As for the centre debate, I agree 100% with Saff, Fourie is world class, not just a good finisher. I think he should have kept on playing in SA for another 3 years, because he still had/has a massive amount to offer the Boks. He went to Japan when playing at his peak, and although he is probably moire financially secure because of it, it came at the cost of his career. Also, since he left SA, there has been a void at 13 that nobody has been able to effectively fill. Nobody can deny that 13 is the one position that we simply don't have a world class player currently playing in SA to fill the position. We have a bunch of maybes, De Jong, Taute etc etc even De Villiers had a go to make space for F Steyn....but not one truly special player.
Moffie again a load of bullshit.
Steph du Toit was only once pushed backwards, by TWO players operating together - FACT
Taute beat his man every time he challenged against Oz - so again you speak crap.
Your facts on Fouries tries are bullshit and I have listed his tries on here before.
What flow did Pienaar improve, we have seen nothing better from our backs at all. All Pienaar has provided is a boot.
Frans along with JP were by far our best backs against the Poms. Frans is not slow, certainly no slower than Jean, Olivier, Barritt etc
stef nel and jacques hanekom are one of the sharpest minds in rugby and to be fair it makes sense that a player will not settle down if he is changed again and again. lets see how he develops. he is still a decent runner but had little space to work with.
I think Hougaar has done the right thing. He had to take hold of his destiny. Certainly we hope he really gets going as he has enormous talent and mayto possibly become the worlds best. Come home to WP Hougie why waste ya time up in bulle land!
As for DU Toit no 19 year old forward is going to cut it just yet! I am hoping he can come into the Bok picture in 2014 and play a bit of Super rugby in 2013 but not too much.
Frans Steyn needs to simply get fit and at hi scorrect weight of about 105 kg and we have a match winner.He got married this year (never good for a rugby player but unavoidable I suppose if the dedication is not what it should be!!!) and has been loafing in France for some time. A good Super 15 season will set him straight. He and Jordaan could be the next bok center partnership and along with Reinach, Lambie, JP and Ludik etc form one heck of a backline.
Taute will blossom at WP as a 15 - where he belongs. I expect far more flair from the Stormers next season.
Is JC joing the bulle? He and Marcell will hugely boost the bulle front row resources!
franna has all the skills to be the best in the world. i have always been impressed by his skills but at the boks he is used to setup of phase play because he is bigger than most he offers a lot more with offloads and has the best handspeed and speed of pass in the backline but that is not being used nor really exploited by meyer and co. for the sharks this season he really was in his own element and made a potent attacking combo with jordaan. it all about combos and those 2 has all the skills to be the best the game has ever seen. its a big statment but they both offer something rather different.
i hope for taute's sake AC and the utter rubbish fleck will change there negative mindset and play a game pattern much like the game they played in the cc round robin against the bulls at newlands. recycled such quick ball that the poor defence of the bulls had no answers really. that is the fundamental shift to me change the wp fortunes. taute has the skillsets to be the best fullback since joubert in my view but he needs to play in a enviroment that promotes that brand and style. lets hope the stormers gets therer house in order
so for there sake lets hope they shefl the stormers plan and go out there and be proactive and dynamic and play possesion based up tempo rugby.
in terms of my boys the sharks the likes of reinach and lambie can really be the next big thing but once again they are allowed to play there own brand and think for themselves and the net result players that a rounded as they think for themselves.
Hougaard is a terrific rugby player. But the three years he spent away from scrumhalf, on the wing, may have fatally impacted his scrumhalf chances. Is he a better tackler than Pienaaar.....by a mile, Hougaard has the guts and timing to pull off even the difficult tackle from dead behind. Is he a better runner than Pienaar....yep, much more pace.
Hougaard also wins the physical stakes easily. In the clip of Louw stepping on the Pom, look at Hougaard's committed clean out of the Scottish lock. that's why he is in there ahead of wall flower Mvovo.
But is he a better scrumhalf than Pienaar. Not by a mile. Pienaar is no F du Preez when it comes to kicking, but still a league up on Francois. He also passes better and crucially makes much better decisions. Flyhalf is traditionally regarded as the decision making position in rugby, but in the South African set up it's just as much the scrummie. F du Preez in effect played the decision maker's role for years. Putting a player versus a decision maker in that role screws up the works. Pienaar provides a wise head....Hougaard gets increasingly rattled as the pressure mounts.
Can Hougaard overcome the handicap of a poor boot and the seeming inability to be the general at 9? I hope so, because he is an admirable player. But test rugby puts a laser on any player weaknesses....and if I was a betting man, I'd say the time for Hougaard at 9 has already passed.
hougaard enjoy a open style of play and loves a quick up tempo possesion style. that style fits his skill set ot a tee and that is where the boks are failing big time. some players to tend to play better in certain playing enviroments and i feel hougaard for one would much rather like a quicker up tempo pattern
maybe a move to the sharks of cheetahs might do his career in the long run a lot more.
On Hougaard, I have been saying for same time now that Hougaard never had his position under threat as he was always shifted out to the wing. For me I can't believe coaches would do this and I blame this down to the utility players that coaches wanted to have on the bench. You would think that 7 subs would be enough.
My take has always been a player shoudl specialise and this now comes from the horses mouth. I also said if Hougaard doesn't perform at 9 then put him on the bench or drop him.
In this article Hougaard now even admits that he is willing to sit on the bench and fight for his place.
I don't think that it is to late for Hougaard to come right. I'm glad that he has finally decided to pick 9 and I just hope that he can get it right.
I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with the physical side of rugby. He needs some real coaching in respect of his passing and kiking game - as well s his on-field decisionmaking.
To my mind he Bulls are the last tean he would get decent coaching. Remember - they are generally known as the grave yard of backline players. The reason is poor backline coaching - poor skills development and a extremely restricted game plan.
Personally I think with the correct coaching techniques he would get his performances back on track. He ould be well-advised to move to the Stormers, Sharks or cheetahs.
Bullshit, there is nothing wrong with his passing at all. Pienaar is no better a passer than Hougaard
Hell you are one major plank Di Fattie. It's not passing technique, it's the timing, who you pass to.....it's flat versus soft. All you see is a guy who can run and tackle. You don't see the decisions he makes, his rythm....his body language at 9, which went rapidly downhill.
In short you're pretty stupid.
I agree with you here - it is related to "reading of the game" and instinctive play. Proper and appropriate coaching can assist with the first element. The second one is a major problem, since it is virtually impossible to get that into a player by coaching or instruction - the player either thrive on that or he has not fot it.
Does Hougaard have the second qulity of "instinctive play? Don't know the answer to that one.

It is 6 and I am up. DH going to meet DS31 and family for breakfast at Ikea. I am not sure if DS will be there or new house. She wants to get a mirror for Bella's room that is back in stock but sells out quickly.i could technically go as long as I left for work by 10.maybe. MK is your son doing a semester abroad?? Kelly, you must be crazy busy. We haven't heard much from you. Cindy, when is the baby shower?? Did they buy furnature for the babies room? Isabella has a wall unit from Ikea with drawers,baskets and a hanging section behind doors. With one bedroom they needed something to maximize space. She never had a full size crib. She has a daycare crib which is smaller. She is outgrowing it. I hope her bed comes soon. It was shipped. I need to buy mattresses. Jenn, you doing anything special right before the kids go back to school?? Becky, I am sure you are enjoying your cousins visit. I think you said you haven't seen each other in many years. How is Kim's hip? Kaye, come back!!! We miss you. Happy September. I should check for new thread I guess. |

It is upon this hill that he will found
a marble-fronted, mud-backed city-state
whose every hour comes ten minutes late,
whose brackish swampland is the solid ground,
whose gun-shy guard dogs skitter at the sound
of dining chairs scraping on a hardwood floor
or the distant slam of someone's bedroom door,
a cat's meow, a watch's beep; around
the city is a park; within the park a zoo
within which lives one white rhinoceros,
majestic, brooding, grand, ridiculous,
last of his species, nothing much to do
but pace and eat and shit and grumble through
the years until he dies of loneliness.

Ten, Nine, Eleven
The struggle to imbue the tenth anniversary of 9/11 with memorial significance is notable only for its failure. Reading all the paeans and homilies and homages to the date is an experience most akin to attending an odd-year high school reunion; it is neither quite so well-attended nor nearly as nostalgic as you imagined; there's no one at the bar; the cater waiters won't flirt--worse, they're older than you are! In the corner, some former cheerleader cries mawkishly into her Long Island; above the airport hotel ballroom, planes rumble indifferently into the night sky; on the far side of the world, a stock exchange opens; "the dog misses you," says your lover over the phone, "I miss you. How's the reunion?"; "I wish I'd never come"; "I told you so." Before the smoke cleared, our national culture of opportunism sought to ratify 9/11 as world-historical, and in retrospect all our flailing, horrible, violent responses to those briefly spectacular moments of smoke-and-kaboom read as much as anything as dully intentional attempts to render the attacks as epically poetic, the hijackings that launched a thousand sorties, so to speak; but mere spectacle rarely bears much weight of memory: the sense of all these memorial recollections is of rushing into Radio City and declaring the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular the equal of Lear on the strength of its high-kicking--not simply wrong, but preposterous. The reason that so many newspapers and magazines, teevee shows and radio programs, blogs and other bullshit have ginned up so many Special Editions, the reason there is such an unharmonious cacophony of competing kaddishes linked only by their ridiculous, maudlin sentimentality, is that the supposed universal significance of the date barely qualifies as a mirage; the touted unity of the national conscience and consciousness afterward less than a fairy tale; the importance of the day as some inflection point in the history of human civilization so vastly overblown as to have long since popped. Here we are, standing around the limp remnants of a birthday balloon paraphrasing Genesis; rubber to rubber, bust to bust.

My family--first my grandfather and now one of my uncles--has owned a little bar in Pittsburgh since the 1950s; that was where my dad and all his brothers had their first post-paper-route jobs; at least one of my cousins still works there; my grandmother, at almost 90, still keeps the books! So reading the heartfelt whining of all these little suburban overachievers ("Massive grade inflation means one less standard deviation between myself and those who don't try"--oh, oh, the Hugh Manatee!), I was appalled to read:
Serving people drinks was more rewarding than this full-time job, and it is killing me inside.Hey maybe you ought to quit your bullshit jobs and go back to serving people drinks you dummy! Like, um, oh, is it beneath you because of your high school GPA? Fuck you. Where's muh beer? So you acquired a soul-munching fake-economy white-collar boondoggle of a job and it totally sucks? Hm. Maybe you could take a moment to reexamine the priorities of your life, to reflect upon the nature of honest labor and personal contentment, to consider that happiness and success are opposites.

Holy Hog BBQ (Tampa)
So there is a new BBQ place on Armenia north of Columbus. I wouldn't normally post until I had eaten there but I am excited to hear how it is. They have crazy hours: M-F 11:00-3:00. I will have to check it out sometime this week. Going by the looks of the website (http://holyhogbbq.com ), it is a bit more upscale than I typically like in a BBQ place. Still, I can't help being excited as it is right around the corner from my house.
re: RibDog
And, of course, I did go back. The chicken was juicy but the skin was encased in a hard crust. It must have been an egg batter. It added nothing to the chicken and was not a carrier for extra spices. The chicken was one enormous breast cut in half. The waffle was good. I am such a fan of the dish that I would go back despite the hard crust. As I understand it though, they will only be serving fried chicken and waffles once a month. It's part of the Friday specials.
Tell me which day, except for Tuesday, you want to meet there for lunch. I'll be there!
re: RibDog
You are right. I am trying to keep my expectations under control. It's true that the things that make me skeptical (snazzy webpage and polite people on the other end of the phone) are also the case with 4 Rivers. I suppose there is no good reason to think that quality bbq and a polished operation can't go hand in hand.
re: CFishman
Did y'all go today? I was thinking it was thrusday, not today. I ended up going today. I had my son - who I had to keep out of school. Thay may have been yall sitting next to me. I was the one solo with the screaming toddler.
All in all I thought it was pretty good. I only had the chopped pork, which was better than many, but probabaly not the best I ever had. Mac and cheese was good, and I really liked their baked beans. Wish I had ordered a dinner with two meats, but didn't realize that could be done until I heard it being talked about at the next table. I would go back. Lots of stuff to try.
The guy who owns Pipo's owns that place and is trying to "branch out." the decor is a bit forced, since it was a Pipo's. Again I wasn't disappointed and will be back. The change may not have been a bad idea since it may be the only thing in that area that is NOT Cuban.
I'm interested in hearing others' takes on it.
re: Old E.
ah, you should have said hello. I thought the ribs had potential. They had good chew and smoke. Unfortunately, they were served room temperature or there about and that detracted a bit from the experience. I liked the brisket. It was juicy and flavorful. On John's recommendation we got it sliced from the point-end which was a good call. I am with you, mac-n-cheese was good but the baked beans stood out. This is right in my neighborhood so I will definitely be back, perhaps as soon as Friday for the fried chicken and waffles. John had a long discussion with the owner. It will be interesting to hear his impressions.
re: CFishman
I would have, and almost did, but like I said, I thought yall were going tomorrow, and didn't want to risk sounding like a fool. I actually heard the talk of the point end. I'll have to remember that.
I will take my wife soon. I think she will like it.
I forgot to mention, they brought out some corn fritters for my son, who really enjoyed them. They were good, but more like dessert. they were dusted with powdered sugar. I would probably enjoy them more without it.
How was the okra and other sides?
re: Old E.
The collards were good but not the best I have ever had. My cup had a couple of stalks in it which I pointed out to the owner. He was apologetic and said it would not happen again.
Yes, I thought the brisket was very good quality. Fishman thought the brisket was better at Cally's. I was not going to dispute it as brisket is usually really bad or really good. And if it is really good, then it is a go in my book.
The sausage was good also. Overall, I give it a thumbs up and will continue to watch it. Of course, I may be biased as he uses the same type of smoker I use.
re: RibDog
There were other fun sides that I really wanted, but I just had the Brisket and Collards to keep it low carb...
I thought the meat was between decent and just OK.... Everybody's ribs and meats were room temp to cool, because the ready-to-go food is put out in a display area to be cut and served...
When I ordered brisket, he began slicing a chunk of meat that was already on the chopping block off to the side...
This made the coveted fatty elements of the brisket feel pasty rather than juicy...
Looking back I think that was a biggee...Flavor was acceptable but nothing inspired or imaginative... No signature...
I've definitely had worse brisket, but this today is what I think should be the minimal level of acceptance from a BBQ jernt...It was me who said Cally's Brisket was better---- on the day I tried it... Significantly better, but the portion was very small...
There were like 8-10 bite-size pieces------ and I was just getting started!
The slight crust, flavor, softness, & juiciness almost brought a tear to my eyes...
When I went back to Cally's THE NEXT DAY to try their pork, it was soft & moist, but utterly flavorless...
I mention that so you know I'm not making a general statement that one place is better than the other... I'm new to both places...Also, the collards I had today were simply 'greens in unseasoned hot water' with a few inedible rubbery porky bits...
And for me to use the word 'inedible' is really sayin' something...
I wasn't even sure how to spell it...That liquid is supposed to be a 'liquor' that you'd want to drink or sop-up with some cornbread, but that water wasn't even salted...
It's not hard to create a flavorful collagen-rich reduced broth with some soft meat in it and toss it with the cooked and drained greens at the last minute before calling it a dish... Signature baby....As some of us were paying I was watching a few chopped pork dinners to-go being prepared and it looked good...
Juicy, and I thought the portion was generous...
I'll pop back in ASAP and give it a try...I got there late---- a few minutes after everyone else just began eating...
If I'd gotten there on time I was thinking of pitching the idea that we simply buy an assortment of their meats by the pound, a rack of ribs, and a few large sides, so we can all try everything...It's OK, I'm always driving right by...
And next Wednesday the 21st while I'll be nearby, I'm gonna search out and spend some money at Jaymers' trying a few things..
I've never been, but I like the passion, 'tude, pride, and defensiveness he expressed in other threads...I'll be happy to settle this whole BBQ thing singlehandedly...
We'll talk more later....-
re: CFishman
It was on the CL rib off thread. The post was pulled. He slammed a regular poster for having a blog and no palate for not liking his food. He really didn't need to go there. He could have just stuck to his positive statements and likely would have gained more customers instead of alienating potential diners.
re: CFishman
Amura is at Sand Lake Road and Dr Phillips in Orlando, there are also other locations but they are nowhere near as good as the SLR one. Consistently amazing, with actual Japanese sushi chefs and top quality fish. Home of the Rolls Royce Roll, hands down the tastiest sushi roll in FL. Possibly the best one I've ever had. Pics attached.

Finally opened my Trick or Treat- 2003 SP Authentic Golf
So after unsuccessfully trying to unload my "Trick" box of 2003 SP Authentic Golf I won in the promo, I finally decided to rip it and hope for the best (ie. Tiger Woods auto) No Tiger, but I think I did half decent.
Here are the results: Peter Lonard Auto Authentic Rookie #'d /1999 EXPIRED REDEMPTION Nick Faldo Course Classics GU Tour Shirt Craig Perks Auto Authentic Rookie "'d /799 Johnny Miller/ Andy Miller Sign of the Times Dual Auto #'d /150... I haven't been able to find much value wise about this card. Anyone with a price guide or knowledgeable about Golf know if this is worth anything??? And finally........ Annika Sorenstam Sign of the Times Auto RC All will be up on eBay by the end of the month. Let me know if you're interested in anything and I'd be happy to work something out. Thanks for looking! |
12-02-2012, 02:02 PM | #4 (permalink) |
The Annika SOTT is roughly a $65 card. The Miller dual should be in the $15 area. The other 2 are a couple bucks or so.
Great break. That Annika is a pretty rare SP.

Please i need an answer.
I already submitted a solution for the original deadline. Because you've prolonged it, does that mean that all the original solutions were not good enough? My solution is #32. Could you give me an indication as to whether we were very far off from what you're looking for or if we were at least on the right track? We just want to know where we went wrong and why it wasn't good enough.
Thank you.
thank you
regarding the solutions, depends on you, on how you think the idea is explained in the best way, it coul be a visual, a storyboard, a world document, as you prefer
I had already sent a solution. There is any word/ concept that you really want use in this campaign?
Or you prefer to give me some indication on my proposal?

House Speaker Thom Tillis on Wednesday announced his choices to lead key committees, elevating several second-term representatives to prominent positions.
A new committee on regulatory reform will be chaired by Rep. Tim Moffitt, a Republican from Asheville, who is also beginning his second term. The committee will pick up on last year's efforts by a joint House and Senate committee, which led to several changes in the law relaxing regulations.
Moffitt introduced a controversial bill last year that would take control of Asheville's water system from the municipality.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."
"I would definitely recommend these menu cards for your wedding reception. They are elegant without being stuffy and add a little color to the table. High quality."
"I ordered the deep turquoise color that is standard color and it's beautiful. The cardstock is thick and good quality. One thing to note is that the paper is actually a little textured, which you can't really tell either from the photo, or the proof they send, however, I LOVE textured paper, so it was an added plus for me. If you want a completely smooth card, I would not order this. It's also looked slightly more yellow on the proof than in real life, but again, i prefer this, so that works for me. Printing is good quality as far as I can tell. I was able to work with the designer to remove the Second Course since I'm only having salad and I have multiple entree and dessert options. The designer simply moved the text up and reformatted so it would all fit perfectly. Product arrived faster than expected delivery date. Very happy with my purchase!"
"This menu goes perfect with my artistic orchid wedding invitations. Not only was my custom colour exact, the product was delivered earlier than the confirmation said! I know my guests will be thrilled to see the menu as I had such amazing feedback on the wedding invites. Yay!"
"We personalized by taking out the 2nd Course and adding a quote to the bottom between the dessert description and the date. Loved working with the designer to get the size / font correct. It was perfect when it arrived and people loved it!"
