It may seem like the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy has been dissected in every manner imaginable. But the assassination's pending 50th anniversary on November 22 continues to reveal new perspectives of the event. Case in point: Wednesday's opening of the Ruth Paine House Museum, the suburban Irving home where Lee Harvey Oswald stayed the night before he shot Kennedy.
A Tower of PowerWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published November 1, 2013
Yes, according to the calendar, it has been "officially†fall since September 22, but it sure hasn't felt like it yet. But somehow, cooler temperatures have arrived just in time to set our clocks back this weekend, meaning that—among other advantages—there's one extra hour of enjoy evening happy hours! Here's a suggestion for those of you in the Bastrop area: Make tracks to the Bastrop Brewhouse, whose multi-level deck overlooks the Colorado River. (Weather reports indicate a low temperature of 52 on Saturday night; that's a practically perfect condition for al fresco dining.)

Exhibit captures Texas drought through the lenses of citizen photographersWritten by Matt Joyce | Published October 30, 2013
Wildfires, parched pastures, evaporating lakes, we all have our own experience of the drought that's been plaguing Texas in recent years. A photo exhibit on display this week at the State Capitol shares new perspectives from citizens across the state.

The Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Water Development Board, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are showcasing the photographs as part of their "What does your Texas drought look like?" campaign.
The exhibit opened Monday and continues through Friday in the Capitol's 2nd Floor Extension, Central Gallery.
Despite recent rainfall in much of the state, 62 percent of Texas remains in drought and another 24 percent is abnormally dry, according to the federal government's U.S. Drought Monitor.
The exhibit includes some of the hundreds of images that people across Texas shared via Flickr, Instagram, and Twitter as part of the agencies' photo project. You can see some of the photos on the project's Flickr page.
The project has created a historical record of the drought, and represents both water supply deficits and the ways Texans deal with drought through conservation efforts, according to a news release.
If we get the rainfall predicted this week, let's hope the exhibit stays up for another couple of weeks. It couldn't hurt.

Briscoe Western Art Museum offers immersion in art, history of the WestWritten by Matt Joyce | Published October 25, 2013
It's hard to say what's most impressive about the new Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio. It could be Pancho Villa's last-known saddle, decorated with braided silver. Or the exhibit of more than 100 spurs, presented as a "school" swimming in an aquarium-like display case. Or the Frederic Remington colorful oil painting, "A Dandy on the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City, 1890."

Real Name
Curtis Hussey
Date of Birth
July 22, 1981
Place of Birth
Over the last couple of weeks, fans have noticed that Fandango has been absent from WWE television shows. That naturally lead to some rumors about his release. The dancing star is just fine. Fandango revealed that he has modified his gimmick a bit and will be making his return at the Survivor Series 2014 kickoff show. His character will also be picking up Rosa Mendes as his new valet.
November 18, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
After their segment on Monday Night Raw this week, there is a lot of speculation going around about Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. There has been no confirmation that they are dating in real life. The belief is that this is a move by WWE to make both of them slightly more relevant and to have a foil for Fandango and Layla El. This on screen relationship between Ziggler and Summer could be a short term thing.
July 1, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
Even though the push went absolutely nowhere in the long run, Chris Jericho listed his match against Fandango at Wrestlemania 29 as one of his two favorite moments at the pay per view. Jericho loved the idea of putting Fandango over so well that the fans made him a global sensation the following night on Monday Night Raw. His other favorite moment was his big match against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 19.
June 17, 2014
Since their characters are constantly kissing one another on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, fans have naturally been wondering if Fandango and Layla El are really dating in real life. That is not the case. The two WWE performers are simply getting into their characters. Layla currently has a boyfriend outside of professional wrestling that she has been seeing for much of the past year.
May 27, 2014
WWE is currently planning a big match between Summer Rae and Layla El, where Fandango would be the special guest referee. Rumors are floating around that the writers will do a story line where Fandango starts to question his decision to leave Summer Rae. If this gains enough steam, then WWE would even consider putting it on a pay per view.
May 24, 2014
Now that Summer Rae has completed the filming of Marine 4 with the Miz, she will be returning to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown very soon. Upon her return to television, expect her to be utilized as a baby face in a feud against Layla El and Fandango. WWE could pair her up with a male performer, such as Dolph Ziggler, to even the odds in the feud.
May 15, 2014
A video from Smackdown of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose delivering their trademark finishing move, the triple power bomb, to Fandango. The Shield has been getting revenge on various WWE superstars for attacking them over the past couple of weeks.
April 27, 2014
As is usually the case with every pay per view, you can expect WWE to do last minute additions to the Extreme Rules 2014 match card. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Curtis Axel and Ryback are expected to get the seventh match on the card. If WWE needs another filler match, then Emma, Santino Marella, Layla El and Fandango are the top candidates for that spot.
April 27, 2014
With the X-Men star making a return appearance next week, WWE has been hinting that Hugh Jackman is going to be knocking out one of the wrestlers. The company set up a poll to see which performer the fans wanted to see in the roll. Damien Sandow, JBL, Wade Barrett, Randy Orton, Batista, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Zeb Colter, Fandango and Jack Swagger were all included, but Triple H and Paul Heyman are currently in the lead.
April 25, 2014
Even though her character was dumped by Fandango in the story line, do not expect a face turn for Summer Rae. The blonde diva will be working as a heel when she returns to WWE after filming her parts in the upcoming Marine sequel. Summer will also be utilized more as a wrestler this time around as opposed to being a side character.
April 17, 2014
A video of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns working a handicap match against Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Wade Barrett, Curtis Axel, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Heath Slater, Jack Swagger, Jinder Mahal, Titus ONeil and Ryback on Monday Night Raw.
April 17, 2014
One of the big reasons why WWE put Layla El with Fandango is because Summer Rae is taking a couple of weeks off of television to film a sequel to the Marine with the Miz. WWE wanted to keep Fandango on television, but they did not feel that his act would be nearly as popular without a female companion. Thus, Layla was chosen to take over the role.
April 17, 2014
At a live event in Texas over the weekend, Darren Young might have suffered some sort of injury. His match with Fandango was extremely short, and the ending was awkward, as Young was counted out after delivering a flying ax handle. Agents came out to the ringside area to check on Young and helped him limp backstage.
April 13, 2014
Since Summer Rae is going to be pushed as a singles star now, WWE opted to split her up from Fandango, who sold the story line through his Twitter account. As many saw on Smackdown this week, Summer Rae has been replaced with Layla El, who actually has experience as a dancer. WWE has been trying to find a role for Layla since her return.
April 12, 2014
Despite being a pretty popular act, WWE has decided to split up Summer Rae and Fandango, who has been selling the story line through social media over the past couple of days. Fandango is being paired with another person soon, as his act needs a female dancer. Summer Rae will be utilized as more of an in ring performer with the rest of the Total Divas cast.
April 10, 2014
During a recent interview, Chris Jericho revealed that he would not return for Wrestlemania 30 unless WWE had a prominent spot for him on the card. He did not appear to pleased to be in the under card match against Fandango, a performer who is now floundering around, last year. Jericho reiterated that he does not want to just be handed a spot, however.
April 1, 2014
In a sign that they are still in the dog house with management, Cody Rhodes and Goldust were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. Their match against Damien Sandow and Fandango, two guys who normally do not team up together, was considered a throwaway segment and not deemed important enough for rebroadcast.
April 1, 2014
As an April Fool's Day joke, WWE promoted that they have just released photos for the steamiest edition of Day Off, which normally features divas look sexy and comfortable outside of the arena. Instead, they opted to utilize Fandango, and this picture of him is hilarious.

I really appreciate your honesty. I am aware that there are amazing, beautiful, and utterly unique experiences that come with having kids but am glad to hear about the other side of it as well. My girlfriend once told me "No one will ever love your child as much as you do. And no one will ever be so irritated by your child as much as you." I guess that will always be true!ReplyDelete

Hi Sharon! It was great meeting you and your family on the train up to Boston. Too funny that they were all little monsters, didn't expect that from what I saw on the train! We had a great time in Cambridge, but Quinn did spend his naptime (everyday) jumping from bed to bed shouting "to infinity and beyond!" for an hour+ Then we would leave the hotel and after 10 minutes he would fall asleep in his stroller.ReplyDelete
Will email you soon to plan a day to play!
traveling puts me in a funk as well. i would assume you multiply the funk by 10 for children. don't beat yourself up too much. see you tomorrow dear!ReplyDelete

I love the reality posts. "kids are jerks" love it, so funny and true. And call me I must hear the hidden 2, and I want an update.ReplyDelete
People thought I was evil for not wanting to take our two kids with us on a family reunion style trip to Disneyworld...so much so that I couldn't get a dang sitter for the week.ReplyDelete
We took the kids.
I stand by my urge to leave them home.
They were turds. Even in the happiest place on earth.
P.S. I still love those little turds to the moon and back. I just don't love travelling with them.
Thank you all for such wonderful comments!! It was so nice to seem them come in my inbox through out the day. :)ReplyDelete
This is comforting, Sharon. I only have one, but I definitely have similar days.ReplyDelete

The Colville High School Equestrian Club is organizing for the 2012-2013 WAHSET season. The main goal of the club is to recognize the equestrian athlete and give them an opportunity to receive recognition in an equitable, positive and educational format.

As a young three-year head coach, no one in school history was more successful than Mandy Sumner. But despite guiding the Colville High softball team to a fourth place state finish and two runner-up finishes in that span, the CHS graduate announced her resignation earlier this month.
Sumner, who also headed up the junior high school softball program, is one of the top catchers in CHS history and played for one of the school's most successful coaches of all-time, Clyde Brown.

The term market describes the accumulation of all demand for a certain service or product emerging from the accumulation of all customers – both existing and prospective for the product. Markets differ largely from one another given that the customers who comprise the markets differ extensively in their characteristics. Even a specific market for a given item is not absolutely uniform.
In small business advertising and marketing, a market is split up into a number of smaller devices, each with homogeneous attributes; it helps with the reliable touching of the marketplace. Market segmentation is the process of disaggregating the complete market for an offered product into a variety of sub-markets. The heterogeneous market is broken up at the same time right into a variety of fairly homogeneous devices.
The procedure is based upon the recognition that any type of offered market or consumer group is made up of a variety of subgroups differentiated by differing needs and buying actions. Additionally, it is viable to disaggregate the consumers into ideal segments in such a fashion that the characteristics of the fractional teams would certainly differ considerably among sectors but would certainly additionally be identical within segments.
Market division gives numerous perks on the advertising man. To begin with, it assists him distinguish one consumer team from another within a provided market as well as consequently enables him to decide which section of the marketplace need to form his target market. It also allows the efficient condensation of the particular demands of the purchasers in the target market and facilitates a detailed study of the features of the purchasers.
Reliable small company advertising is the lifeline of any local business. A disturbing higher percent of local business fold up within the very first year of operation with the majority of the initial year survivors shutting shop by the end of the 3rd year.
One of the significant factors that small companies fail is a cash flow crisis. Reliable local business advertising is among minority business tools readily available to a local business proprietor that PRODUCES cash.
Reliable small company advertising and marketing begins with having the ability to compose a straightforward as well as efficient advertising strategy, especially for your company. This advertising and marketing strategy then develops the basis of all your marketing efforts and serves as a reference point when you need to determine between two or more procedures.
The outcome of adhering to a well-constructed advertising and marketing plan is that all your different advertising initiatives form part of a co-ordinated technique aimed at achieving your predetermined goal. That is in raw comparison to the marketing efforts of most small companies and also promptly places you ahead of the pack.
Efficient small company advertising and marketing normally has some obstacles – and also benefits. Difficulties could include an absence of advertising and marketing savvy, a restricted marketing spending plan, time restrictions particularly if you are a someone company and so forth. Anyone who has run a small business needs to identify the threat of investing too much time working in the business as opposed to on the business.

When WWE abruptly had Seth Rollins turning on the Shield, they had to quickly put together things for his new character. The company came up with a new entrance theme song for him to use since it would not make sense for him to use the old one. Apparently, the song was not well received by management, so a new one has already been ordered for Rollins.

In a sign of how much the company wants to push Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 30, there are now talks that Mark Crozer could be brought into the pay per view to perform the Wyatt Family theme song live in New Orleans. While plans are changing on a daily basis backstage, Wyatt appears to be penciled in for a high profile match against John Cena.

Since it has been a while since he was starring in ECW and since he was never really a regularly featured performer in WWE, many fans have forgotten what entrance music Masato Tanaka utilized. In this video, you can hear the theme song that he utilized in ECW while he was feuding with Mike Awesome.

First released in 1975 and revised throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, the Dungeon! boardgame lets you explore a multi-level dungeon in search of treasure guarded by terrible monsters. The deeper into the dungeon you go, the deadlier the monsters and the greater the treasure. The player who returns to the beginning chamber with the most treasure wins!
This re-release of the classic Dungeon! boardgame stays true to the original but incorporates several revisions made to the game in later editions, giving players the most fun experience possible.
I really like this game. It's easy to play with younger gamers. While it's not designed to be as in-depth as other D&D games it is none the less fun to play. The quality of the board is excellent and as usual for wizards of the coast, the art work is amazing.

Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen 9, ARKWRIGHT ROAD, HAMPSTEAD, LONDON, N.W.3. POLITICAL NOTES FOR UNION SPEAKERS IN THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN - OCTOBER, 1931. THE ATTACK ON WAGES The whole of the attack by the international financiers and British Capitalists is centred in their determination to reduce wages, and consequently the standard of life of the working people. During the war period when capitalists were making easy millions and our national millionaires were doubled in number, the employers were compelled to pay reasonable wages, but as soon as the war was over and their fabulous profits were not so easily obtainable, the financier and capitalist commenced a campaign to bring down wage standards. So successful have they been, in spite of trade union effort, that the wages of British workers have been reduced by £400,000,000 per annum. That is the amount of sacrifice which the workers have already made. The reductions, however, were not fast enough to suit our capitalist masters, for the strength of British trade unionism has been able to hold back the avalanche, although not to entirely stop it. The capitalist and banker, therefore, in a world depression caused by their own mismanagement and greed, where workers are starving in the midst of plenty, had to adopt some method other than the straight attack on organised trade unionism. This attack has now made itself manifest in a political effort to bring about their desires, and we see all the forces of capitalism, landlordism and high finance, ranged in one camp against the workers who produce all wealth, and they have taken with them a few wealthy people who it has hitherto suited, for longer or shorter periods, to be members of the Labour Party, but now that their sources of wealth are in danger, have sold their souls in their own personal interests and for the cheap and temporary plaudits of the Tory Party. The present so-called " National Government is nothing other than a band of political exploiters and adventurers, representatives of wealth, pelf and privilege, without one redeeming feature other than its determination to fight for its privileges and the class it represents, which we could wish was more whole-heartedly followed by the working classes themselves. It is a gang of robbers of the nation's poorest citizens and their children, a gang of exploiters and mercenary minded political cut-throats. The Government has already, to secure the channels of exploitation to the people it serves, reduced the wages of all civil servants and the miserable allowance of the unemployed, knowing that this will be followed by reductions in the wages of municipal employees, and then the industrial capitalist will have his great opportunity of further reducing the wages of workers all round. Let our members realise that this will include railwaymen, and they should remember the speech of Lord Gainford in the House of Lords on September 17th, when he said: — " Twenty per cent. should be taken off the railwaymen in the aggregate. That would mean £24,000,000 saved to encourage traffic on the railway system, and would enable dividends to be paid upon trustee and other savings which are invested in the Railway Companies. I want that kind of subject to be considered by the Cabinet to see whether savings cannot be effected in items of that kind." All co-operators and small shopkeepers and other tradesmen should remember that such a policy of reducing the spending power of the people, will reduce their incomes and bring them down also, and that a vote for the Government representative means a vote for greater security for the banks who exploit them every day. WHAT OF THE BANKERS? Spokesmen for the Government deny that they are merely the creatures of finance and banking interests, but the Prime Minister admits that he knows nothing about high finance, therefore he can't know what has happened to him; but let us look at what their own side has said. The Daily Express, in an open letter to the Governor of the Bank of England, said on September 25th, 1929, as follows: — "Among your colleagues are several who are closely identified with large foreign interests, and who may be tempted to consider questions of current policy from the standpoint of international finance. But the Bank of England is, or should be, a British institution serving British interests." Two days later the Daily Express leading article, commenting on the action of the Bank in raising the Bank Rate by 1 per cent., said: —

So this is what's taken you so long to post.
Great analysis, now let me throw this out there in response: you've nailed the reason raid content was completed so quickly. The bar for Effective Health was set high, but the ability to reach that level was made possible early on.
It is a near perfect correlation to the Effective Health theory. That is, the first gear you get when you are undergeared should be for Effective Health. As you reach the minimums, build Avoidance. I was not aware of the pattern, and thanks for putting it this way.
Quick Warning: If you edit in Item Links for the bottom links at any point, re-edit the Item Links in the top ones at the same time. Every edit renders the current Item Links unusuable.
Quick Question: Do you plan on doing anymore gear analysis threads or anything along the line?

Havana Club Selección de Maestros
Review: Havana Club Selección de Maestros Rum 92.5/100
A review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on May 20, 2012
Havana Club's new Selección de Maestros Rum is an authentic Cuban rum that has recently replaced the Havana Club Barrel Proof in the portfolio of Havana Club Rums. It is my understanding that the Selección de Maestros is produced in the same manner as the Havana Club Barrel Proof, and any differences between the two rums are more a matter of normal variations in batch production than any real difference between the rums.
The rum undergoes a rather unique maturation process where it is first aged in old white oak barrels, and when the final rum is blended, it is then finished in specially 'selected' younger finishing casks. I have heard of this 'Double Barrel' approach with whisky, but the Havana Club Barrel Proof and now its replacement, the Selección de Maestros, is the first rum that I know of which uses older white oak maturation casks and then younger fresh oak finishing casks.
In the Bottle: 4.5/5
The Selección de Maestros arrives in the attractive bar room bottle shown to the left. I like the wide shouldered bottle and the attractive red and blue labeling with the gold trim. The new oak coloured protective sleeve looks good, and I am satisfied by what I see. In fact I wish more premium rums would arrive on the store shelves in this style of protective canister. It add a nice ambiance to the occasion of opening the bottle in front of friends.
In the Glass: 9/10
The rum displays itself in the glass with a bright copper and red colour. The immediate nose is of sweet toffee, with a nice complement of cinnamon. Nutmeg and cloves work their way into the breezes along with a little oak, some hot orange peel and a touch of green tobacco. As the glass sits, the aroma of toffee intensifies making the rum seem very attractive, which of course leads me to steal a sip.
In the Mouth: 56.5/60
As it was on the nose, the flavour of the Selección de Maestros is full of spicy toffee. The rum has been bottled at 45 % alcohol by volume which makes the flavour just a bit intense. Along with the hot toffee spice, hints of more pungent spices also cross the palate including some nutmeg and cinnamon as well as a few cloves, all of which warm the palate in a good way. The orange peel I noted earlier has given the rum some traces of marmalade in the flavour profile, and I also taste light impressions of canned apricots. A lightly sharp tobacco flavour weaves in and out as does a hint of dry fruit which makes the rum seem just a little smoky.
I really like what I am tasting, and it is easy to fill another glass.
In the Throat: 13.5/15
The exit is heated with spicy toffee and cinnamon dancing on the taste buds well after the glass is consumed. Trails of dry fruit and tobacco give the finish a firmer impression of smokiness than I was expecting. I suspect that the 45 % alcohol bottling strength is serving to intensify the flavours, and although some may find the rum intense, I rather enjoy the higher proof experience.
The Afterburn: 9.0/10
As I stated in the preamble, the Selección de Maestros is really just the Havana Club Barrel Proof by another name. And in fact when I look over my tasting notes I find that my impressions from two and a half years ago are very similar to my current feelings. There are differences, but these are small and probably attributable to time and experience. This is a wonderful rum, one of my favourites!
If you are interested in comparing more scores, here is a link to my other published Rum Reviews.
Suggested Recipes
Even though this is one of my favourite rums for sipping, full of flavour and heat, I also love to mix the Selección de Maestros into Cuba Libre' style cocktails. The particular cocktail I mix the most is a sipping cocktail I call Cuban Cane Harvest.
Cuban Cane Harvest
(A Rum and Coke made for sipping)
1 ice-cube
1 ounce Selección de Maestros
1 ounce Classic Coke
a dash of cinnamon
Pour the rum over the ice-cube.
Add the classic coke slowly so that it floats on top.
Sprinkle just a smidgen of cinnamon on the very top.
Do not stir, let the cinnamon and coke slowly melt into the cocktail.
Sip and Enjoy!
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Got bought a bottle of this and wow!! I love the other Havana clubs as mixing rums but this has displaced whiskey as my supping spirit! What else would you recommend?? Anything a bit cheaper that comes close?
April 21, 2013 at 4:21 pm
Completly agree with you… I could taste this rum, and since I already like the basic version, I find this more complex variation extremely interesting. Nice website by the way :)

When the weather's not playing ball it's all about upping your accessories ante, and today we're taking style inspiration from New York accessories label Coach's A-list fans. Everyone from Miranda Kerr and January Jones to Rita Ora and Chloe Mortez have been spotted with a Coach bag on their arm recently, with Sandra Hill, Head of Women's Design at Coach naming "the Mini Tanner, the Pinnacle Haley Satchel and the Perforated Penny Shoulder Purse" as the key styles to watch out for this season (see below).
The Coach Legacy Penny purse in plain and perforated leather.
Tan, yellow and pink Coach Legacy Mini Tanner bags.
The Coach leather Legacy Pinnacle Hayley satchel.
"All three of these styles can be worn cross body or over the shoulder, making them the desirable mix of chic and functionality" Sandra Hill explains, and who could resist their zesty colour combos, set off by Coach's signiture jumbo tassels?
"Coach is known around the world as an icon of American design. We began in New York and the city has always been such a source of inspiration for our designers" Sandra Hill also revealed, but what is it about their designs that makes them so internationally covetable? For it's not just New Yorkers who have been getting in on the Coach action, there were plenty of fashion week goers carrying the Legacy Penny purses during London, Milan and Paris fashion week! Lily Russo, Grazia's Shopping Editor loves the "combination of their simple shapes, minimal hardware and rainbow like colour palette."

It's the final round of regular-season action in Super Rugby with just two sides - the Stormers and Chiefs - guaranteed a play-off berth.
That leaves eight teams battling it out for a place in the top six, which means there will be two very disappointed sides when Round 18 comes to an end after the final whistle is blown in Pretoria.
Six matches, all of them crucial in determining which teams will clinch the remaining wildcard spots, so lets get to it!
Brumbies v Blues
Canberra Stadium
One point on Saturday will be enough to ensure the Brumbies win the Australian Conference and secure a spot in the play-offs - and thus end an eight-year drought - but it's far from a done deal against a resurgent Blues team.
This weekend will be a true test of not only the Brumbies' nerves but their play-off credentials as they face a team that have finally started to gel.
Indeed the Blues have averaged nearly 30 points per game in their last three starts. Their revival is thanks in no small part to the return of some injured players meaning others have been able to play in their preferred positions. That trends is set to continue as Charlie Faumuina's return means the Blues have been able to field their full-strength front row for just the third time this season.
A win for the Blues should see them rise above the Rebels into 11th position - not exactly what they were hoping for at the start of the year, but significantly better than what was feared a few weeks ago.
But the visitors' preparations have been disrupted by the interview process for the Blues head coach job for next year as Pat Lam fights to keep his job. Lam will stay behind to interview for his position on Friday along with the other candidates, then catch a later flight to rejoin the team in Canberra.
"It can't be advantageous to have your coach staying behind and not flying over with the team, and obviously the uncertainty," said Brumbies coach Jake White on Thursday.
The hosts won't have to worry about other team's result as they take the field before the Reds, who need the Brumbies to lose and then must hammer the Waratahs to claim top spot in the Aussie conference.
"The thing we've got in our favour this week is we play first," added White.
"Literally by the time the final whistle goes, we'll have an understanding of where we are."
Keep an eye on the battle between Ma'a Nonu and Pat McCabe, who could very well face off again a month from now in the first Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship clash of the year.
The last time these teams met, back in 2010, the Blues won 39-34 at Eden Park
Prediction: The hosts have managed to pick up at least one tournament point in every game of the season so far and that's all they need. We reckon they'll do a bit better though. Brumbies by six points.
The teams:
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Leon Power, 19 Fotu Auelua, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Tevita Kuridrani, 22 Robbie Coleman.
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Lachie Munro, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Hadleigh Parkes, 10 Michael Hobbs, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Luke Braid, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Chris Lowrey, 5 Steven Luatua, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Keven Mealamu (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Replacements: 16 Tom McCartney, 17 Tevita Mailau, 18 Andrew Van der Heijden, 19 Peter Saili, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Orene Ai'i, 22 Sherwin Stowers.
Referee: Jonathon White (New Zealand)
Crusaders v Western Force
It is a strange situation for the Crusaders this week as they cannot finish any better in the standings but could end up missing the knockout stages.
Standing in their path is not the toughest proposition as the Force are currently sitting in fourteenth spot.
Therefore the majority are expecting nothing but a home victory and we can see no reason to go against the grain if the weather is kind.
Coach Todd Blackadder will be looking for more of the same from his men who - judging from last week's success in Hamilton - seem to be hitting form. That win over the Chiefs left their fate in their own hands and if they can seal home advantage for next week, the top two will be keen to miss them.
If the hosts can repeat their clinical and knockout-like performance of Round 17 then surely the Force will have no answer to what is coming at them.
The Crusaders' opponents will carry plenty of emotion into this match as they bid farewell to Super Rugby's most-capped player, Nathan Sharpe. While it will be his 162nd and last in this competition, injury to James Horwill means he will carry on for Australia in the Rugby Championship. He should receive a warm welcome and goodbye in Christchurch.
Therefore the Force must have already been thinking about next term when they're without their stalwart and possibly David Pocock, as the rumour mill continues to turn in Australia's press. Whether he will go over to Canberra to take the jersey of soon-to-be Waratah Michael Hooper remains a mystery.
But there is no mystery about where this result at AMI Stadium is heading as we see the likes of Israel Dagg and Zac Guildford thriving behind a pack that is set to go forward and a half-back duo that have been there, seen it and done it. It could be a long evening for the struggling Western Force.
Prediction: No upsets here. Crusaders by 25!
The teams:
Crusaders: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Adam Whitelock, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Richie McCaw (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Ben Franks.
Replacements: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Samuel Whitelock, 19 Luke Whitelock, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Tom Taylor, 22 Robbie Fruean.
Western Force: 15 Alfie Mafi, 14 Nick Cummins, 13 Patrick Dellit, 12 Rory Sidey, 11 Napolioni Nalaga, 10 Ben Seymour, 9 Brett Sheehan, 8 Lachlan McCaffrey, 7 Angus Cottrell, 6 Richard Brown, 5 Nathan Sharpe (c), 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Salesi Manu, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Tetera Faulkner.
Replacements: 16 Ben Whittaker, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Pek Cowan, 19 Ollie Atkins, 20 Josh Holmes, 21 Kyle Godwin, 22 Will Tupou.

Reds v Waratahs
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The Reds will attempt mission improbable when they take on the Waratahs in Saturday's interstate grudge match in Brisbane.
The defending champions must score their first bonus-point victory over their arch-rivals in nine years to stand a chance of gaining last-gasp entry into the Super Rugby play-offs.
The Queenslanders haven't managed to knock over the New South Welshmen with a four-try win since 2003 (35-23), and face a massive assignment repeating that feat with wet conditions forecast at their Suncorp fortress.
Hit by injuries and an early-season slump, the Reds have kept themselves alive with plenty of grit and have done their best work with their backs to the wall - highlighted by five straight wins.
They sit on 53 points following last week's dramatic 19-13 win over the fast-finishing Highlanders but are seventh on the overall standings behind the Sharks and Bulls.
However a sixth consecutive victory for the Reds (53 points) would apply pressure to a number of teams still in wildcard play-off contention and force the Crusaders (56), Bulls and Sharks (both 54) to win their final regular-season encounters to hold off the fast-finishing Queenslanders.
A maximum-point haul against the Waratahs would further enhance the Reds claims and force the Bulls and Sharks to score bonus-point wins against the Lions and Cheetahs respectively, while it would also open to door to winning the Australian Conference should the Brumbies (54) slip-up against the Blues in Canberra.
"You have to win the game first," McKenzie said.
"What people don't understand is the scoreboard creates a lot of pressure.
"We have to play well over 80 minutes and you get the reward over 80 minutes so that's the challenge there."
Prediction: The Reds to pull off a win, but miss out on the all-important bonus. Reds by seven!
The teams:
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Jake Schatz, 5 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 James Hanson, 17 Ben Daley, 18 Radike Samo, 19 Beau Robinson, 20 Jarrad Butler, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Ben Tapuai.
Waratahs: 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Lachie Turner, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Grayson Hart, 8 Dave Dennis, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Dean Mumm, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson (c).
Replacements: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Lopeti Timani, 19 Jono Jenkins, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Tom Carter, 22 Tom Kingston.

Stormers v Rebels
Newlands, Cape Town
The debate still rages on - not least of all at Planet Rugby HQ - as to how we should regard the Stormers' season.
The Capetonians only need one point to secure a home semi-final but they could set a record if they fail to get four-try bonus point. They would then become the first team ever to reach the play-offs without once scoring four tries in a regular season match.
Only seven teams have completed a season without scoring any bonus points and none of those teams managed to finish better than ninth in the standings.
It's also interesting to note that the two teams that the Stormers didn't play in the 2012 regular season - the Chiefs and Brumbies - just happen to be top of their respective conferences. They also lost to the only other side in the top four, the Crusaders.
All that said, it's hard to argue against the Stormers' knack for getting positive results and if they get one point more than the Chiefs claim on Friday they'll finish at the top of the overall standings. If you had offered Allister Coetzee 13 wins (already a South African record) at the start of the season, he would have happily taken it.
If ever there was an opportunity to bag a full house of points, it's this weekend against a Rebels side with the worst defensive record in the tournament. The visitors to Newlands are only side to concede in excess of 50 tries (57!) after 15 rounds.
Saturday's clash is only the second clash between these teams and also the Rebels first visit to Cape Town. They are still looking for their first victory over South African opposition, but it looks unlikely this weekend. Last year the Stormers scored five tries in their 40-3 victory.
Stormers coach Coetzee insists his team will be hunting the extra point.
"The game plan was always to go and score as many tries as possible and I would like to see an improvement this week when it comes to our finishing," he said.
"On attack, we created even more scoring opportunities, but in the end some bad decision-making that let us down. Creating try-scoring opportunities is one thing, but finishing them is another. We know that is something we have to get right going into the play-offs where you might only get one opportunity to score and you have to take it."
The Rebels will have a dual motivation to cause an upset that would surpass the shock created by their win over the Crusaders earlier this year. Beyond wanting to climb above the Waratahs, they'll want to give a winning sendoff to Stirling Mortlock, who will bring down the curtain on an outstanding career at a ground that holds fond memories for the former Wallaby skipper.
Prediction: If they struggle to put the Rebels away, all the naysayers' doubts about the Stormers season will be confirmed. We don't see it happening. The Stormers to prove a point (five of them!) and win by 20.
The teams:
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Deon Fourie, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Brok Harris, 17 Deon Carstens, 18 Quinn Roux, 19 Jebb Sinclair, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.
Rebels:15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perrett, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Rodney Blake
Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Paul Alo-Emile, 18 Al Campbell, 19 Ryan Hodson, 20 Nic Stirzaker, 21 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 22 Richard Kingi.

Sharks v Cheetahs
Kings Park Stadium, Durban
With a play-off place at stake, the Sharks will be focussed on putting in a top-class performance against the Cheetahs who, despite being out of the running for the qualifiers, are chasing their sixth win which will make 2012 their best ever Super Rugby campaign.
John Plumtree's men seem to be hitting top-form at the right time and will be keen to build on last weekend's emphatic 32-10 victory over the Bulls.
That win against the three-time champions was primarily down to the Durban outfit's dominance in the forward exchanges, something which Plumtree is keen to replicate this weekend.
"The battle is always won upfront in these big games: the scrummaging, the driving lineouts, the intensity of the breakdown," he said.
"The Cheetahs have a guy like Heinrich Br�ssow who we have to look after, he's a big threat.
"Our setpiece has been going really well, we took some real confidence from our lineout last week, we'll just have to make sure that as a group, that wasn't a one-off performance.
"We have competition coming back into the pack, and if we can get our loosies and locks fit, it will be good for us," added Plumtree.
The Sharks are currently in sixth spot on the table and a win with a try-scoring bonus point will secure them a spot in the play-offs.
The Cheetahs have been blowing hot and cold for most of the season but will be aiming to rain on their opponents' parade.
Coach Naka Drotske's charges face a tough assignment but one thing is certain, his side will not come to Durban to make up the numbers.
Most of their attacking momentum will come from strong ball carriers like their captain Adriaan Strauss - who has been immense throughout their campaign - as well as the exciting back-line duo of Robert Ebersohn and Willie le Roux who have the ability to break down any defence with moments of brilliance.
The Bloemfontein outfit have traditionally proved difficult opponents to the Sharks who have won five and lost three of the previous eight encounters between these sides.
Crucially, however, the Sharks have won their last three matches against the Cheetahs, whose last victory in Durban in 2010 was also the last time they managed to beat Keegan Daniel's men in the competition.
Prediction: Although the Cheetahs will be competitive, the Sharks have too much class across the park. The Sharks to win by 12 points and succeed in their goal of making the play-offs.
The teams:
Sharks: 15 Patrick Lambie, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Tim Whitehead, 12 Francois Steyn, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Keegan Daniel (capt), 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Jandre Marais, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Craig Burden, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 Wiehahn Herbst, 18 Pieter-Steph du Toit/Jean Deysel, 19 Willem Alberts, 20 Jacques Botes, 21 Meyer Bosman/Paul Jordaan, 22 Louis Ludik.
Cheetahs: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Barry Geel, 11 Philip Snyman, 10 Riaan Smit, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Boom Prinsloo, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Br�ssow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 WP Nel, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Replacements: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Marcel van der Merwe, 18 Waltie Vermeulen, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Andries Strauss.
Bulls v Lions
Loftus Versfeld Stadium, Pretoria
Despite hosting the team that are the bottom-placed team on the table, the Bulls know there will be no room for complacency and anything less than a comprehensive win will not satisfy their partisan supporters.
Last week's loss to the Sharks was a shock to the system for the home side who will be keen to strike back with a clinical display against their neighbours who have not beaten them in eight previous encounters.
The Bulls are chasing one of the play-off positions and their coach Frans Ludeke revealed that his charges need little motivation for this clash.
"We don't need to tell the players at this stage of the competition what is at stake," he said.
"Everyone knows that the rewards for the hard work that we have put in can be justified with a good win. We had the play-offs as our first objective for the season, but definitely not our only one.
"We respect the Lions and are expecting them to come at us with everything they have. They have nothing to lose, so will be a very dangerous side. We need to focus on what we want to achieve, go out and execute that. The pressure will be on us to improve from last weekend.
"We will be going for the win first and foremost. We are not going to try and dictate any permutations. If you try to do that, you can lose focus on the task at hand. If we lose we are out, so the win will be the only focus for us," added Ludeke.
The Lions managed to see off a late Rebels fightback before claiming a 37-32 win over the Rebels last week and will be keen to finish their dismal campaign on a high.
Things have gone pear-shaped for Johannesburg-based franchise during the 2012 season. Their was plenty of excitement at the start of their campaign after they won the Currie Cup in 2011.
After beating the Cheetahs narrowly in their opening fixture, the Lions have stumbled from one defeat to another before beating the Sharks 38-28 in what must rank as one of the the biggest shocks of this season's competition in Round 15.
Captain Josh Strauss expects a massive onslaught from the Bulls but said the Lions are prepared for a war of attrition.
"Coming off a loss they will want to prove their worth especially this weekend and they would want to get some momentum going into the play-offs if they make it," he said.
"They are a bit of a desperate team at the moment and it is very dangerous playing against a team like that."
"They are going to be switched on and they will be very physical," he said.
"We will have to man up and hopefully we can counter that."
Prediction: Despite the brave talk coming out of the Lions camp they will be like lambs to the slaughter against this Bulls side who will start this clash with 13 Springboks in their run-on side. The Bulls will win by between 20 points and 30 points and secure their spot in the play-offs!
The teams:
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Juandr� Kruger, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Deon Stegmann, 19 CJ Stander, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouch�, 22 Francois Venter.
Lions: 15 James Kamana, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Butch James, 11 Anthony Volmink, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Joshua Strauss (capt), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Etienne Oosthuizen, 19 Jaco Kriel, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 JR Esterhuizen, 22 Ruan Combrinck.

AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Alec Ogletree passes the eye test for an NFL linebacker.
All he has to do now is prove he's worth the risk.
Ogletree has had his share of problems since arriving at Georgia, a list that includes a four-game suspension to start last season for an undisclosed violation of team rules and last weekend's DUI arrest. When he showed up to take reporters' questions Saturday, the fourth day of the league's annual scouting combine, the first five questions were about his past mistakes and whether it will affect his draft stock.
"I don't really know what it's going to do, but like I said, I feel bad about it and I'm really sorry about it," Ogletree said. "I just have to move forward and take what I get."
Ogletree isn't the only one facing these sorts of questions.
Two other prominent former SEC players -- receiver Da'Rick Rogers and cornerback Tyrann Mathieu -- have acknowledged they tested positive for drugs in college. Tennessee and LSU, respectively, kicked Rogers and Mathieu off their teams.
Then there's the strange saga of Armonty Bryant, a defensive lineman from East Central University, a Division II school in Oklahoma, who will spend this weekend explaining his arrest on a felony charge of marijuana distribution in a school zone. He said an officer spotted him selling marijuana to a friend in the back lot of the school dorms.
Bryant was called out of practice in October, was subsequently arrested and wound up getting a five-year deferred sentence and two years of supervised probation.
"I told them (scouts) that it was stupid, it was a stupid mistake," Bryant said. "I was in college and I wasn't looking toward my future. I tell them I was young, and it was a dumb thing."
Those sorts of youthful indiscretions can become key factors in where places wind up on a team's draft board -- or whether their names are completely removed.
In all four cases, it could make an impact.
But Ogletree is the only one who was listed as first-round pick. He seems to have the most to lose.
"Just by having a good interview," he said when asked how he plans to convince NFL teams he's changed. "Just being a good person and letting them get to know me and who I really am and now just what they hear about me and stuff."
ROBINSON THE RECEIVER: One of the more interesting story lines Sunday will be seeing how much progress Denard Robinson has made since the Senior Bowl in trying to make the transition from college quarterback to pro receiver.
And that might not be the only position Robinson gets a shot.
After struggling at the Senior Bowl, he acknowledged some teams have asked about the possibility of playing him at running back and he plans to throw at his Pro Day workout March 14. Defensive back is another possibility. In past years, combine officials have given college quarterbacks such as Antwaan Randle El, to showcase their skills at more than one position.
It could happen again Sunday, though Robinson insists he is focused on only one thing -- showing scouts he can catch the football.
"You have to make sure you attack the ball and not just fading away from the ball. You have to stay on top of stuff," Robinson said. "I've played football my whole life and I just have to get used to doing it. And just have fun learning a new position I'm catching a lot of balls and learning a lot of routes and just trying to get ready for it."
PAY DAY: One fast player at this week's combine may have a contract offer even before April's draft weekend.
The shoemaker Adidas took out an ad in The Indianapolis Star on Saturday, offering a contract to the player who runs the fastest time this weekend.
It might take a while to find the winner. Last year's fastest 40-time (4.28 seconds) was posted by Georgia Tech receiver Stephen Hill. There has been a sub-4.3 run each of the past five years and there have been 14 times under 4.3 since 2005. LSU receiver Trindon Holliday set the record (4.21) in 2010.
So why the wait?
Four of those top times were posted by cornerbacks and they won't run until Tuesday.
TOP PERFORMERS: Among the offensive line prospects Saturday, Ohio University guard Eric Herman finished with the most reps (36) on the 225-pound bench press, while Terron Armstead was the fastest, finishing the 40-yard dash in 4.71 seconds. Oklahoma's Lane Johnson was second in the 40 at 4.72.
