Po'uha's Back, Ready to Rumble with DL MatesPosted by on November 7, 2012 – 7:49 pm
Sione Po'uha is back in the mix. And "back" is the operative word.
"I'm feeling well. I'm feeling like my old self," the Jets' veteran nose tackle said in the Atlantic Health Training Center locker room following today's first big practice of Seahawks week. "I'm just glad to be able to contribute to the team again and to be there for my teammates."
More than a few of us speculated if that might ever happen again. "Big Bo" came up with his sore lower back in August during the Jets' Cortland training camp. He was inactive for the opener against Buffalo, started the next three games at nose, then was deactivated for the next three, before starting again two Sundays ago vs. Miami.
He has spent every practice day this season on the injury report, including two-plus weeks when he didn't practice at all. And when he was seen around the Atlantic Health Training Center locker room, it was usually to say, "I can't talk today. Got to get rehab."
When all of that happens to a 33-year-old man who's spent much of his previous seven seasons getting into three-point stances and crashing into opposing offensive linemen and running backs like a 325-pound bighorn sheep, well, I asked him this afternoon if he ever worried during this season if he might have reached the end of the line as an NFL player.
"Nah. It was just another challenge, another obstacle in the road," he said with a smile that didn't seem to be derived from pain shooting up his torso. "Everybody's road in the NFL is never easy. A lot of guys have physical, emotional, spiritual things they just have to go through in this league."
Yet when I asked him if this was possibly the toughest physical challenge he's had to endure in his distinguished, still maturing career, he didn't disagree.
"I think it is," he said after a pause. "I missed some significant games. But I accepted that challenge, I accepted the journey. And one of the things that keep me going is that at the end of the day, it's all about helping my teammates."
It's always been about more than just Big Bo for Po'uha. He's become a steadying influence, a big-brother-figure on the D-line. Certainly Muhammad Wilkerson and Mike DeVito have becoming reliable defenders, rookie DT Quinton Coples has shown flashes, and NT Kenrick Ellis was and is on his way to that same status except for his knee injury. But missing his presence in the middle hasn't helped the line move along smoothly this season.
And now Sione's back, seemingly ready to rock and roll in the second half of the season. First up is a tough test with Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks. Po'uha said his and his teammates' approach this week through Sunday will be simple.
"It's all about executing, each of us doing our part," he said. "Seattle's got a great running back but it's all about the game plan we've got from Rex and Coach Pettine. It's all about preparing and getting out there and making it happen."
And Bo is back with his Bros to try to make it happen for the Green & White in Seattle's hostile environs four days from now.
Rex Cetera
Jets head coach Rex Ryan was asked his reaction to being ranked the most overrated head coach in the NFL in one of those Sports Illustrated player polls. Rex laughed.
"My first thought was I saw who was second and I said, 'Hey, I finally beat Bill Belichick,' " Ryan said of the rankings, which listed the Patriots' head coach as the second-most overrated HC in the NFL.
"Like gollee, it hadn't been a tough enough year," he said, turning serious. "Nah, I wasn't offended by it. You know what? The overrated thing, it is what it is. At the end of the year we'll see who's overrated." A few sentences later, he added: "As long as they want to come here and play and I'm overrated, that's fine. But I want 'em to come here and play."
Regarding the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field, Ryan said their homefield advantage extends beyond this year's 4-0 record and the 'Hawks' 52-24 home mark since '03, fifth-best in the league in that span.
"You think it's an indoor-type atmosphere, with the noise level when you get there, even though it's an outdoor stadium," he said. "I don't know the exact number, but since '05, I believe there've been 113 false-start penalties on opponents when they're playing games at Seattle. That shows you it's a tangible thing. That talks about the noise and how much that 12th man gets involved there in Seattle."
The 12th man was in effect for the Jets' last visit to the 'Link in 2008, then known as Qwest Field. Besides the fans throwing snowballs at anybody in Jets green that day thanks to that rare Seattle snowstorm, the officials threw three flags for presnap penalties on the Jets that day — two on offense, one for a Damien Woody false start and one for an illegal formation, and one on then-punter Reggie Hodges for a delay of game.
However, the Seahawks didn't take full advantage of their HFA that day. They got three false-start penalties called on their O-linemen as well.
Wednesday Injury Reports
The 15 players on the Jets' injury list to start this week may sound like a lot but it's the fewest players they've had on any daily report this season. NT Kenrick Ellis (knee) and RB-KR Joe McKnight (ankle) didn't participate in practice, while limited players besides Po'uha were LB Bart Scott (toe), TE Jeff Cumberland (wrist), C Nick Mangold (ankle), G Brandon Moore (hip), RB Bilal Powell (shoulder) and S Eric Smith (knee). You can find the Jets' full injury report here.
The Seahawks are listing 11 players, with seven of them not practicing in Seattle today. Among them are former Jets WR Braylon Edwards (knee) and former Jets twice-annual foe RB Marshawn Lynch (back/wrist). Other DNPs were DE Red Bryant (foot), G James Carpenter (concussion), S Kam Chancellor (quadriceps), DT Clinton McDonald (groin) and LB K.J. Wright (concussion).
DE Jason Jones (ankle) was limited and WR Doug Baldwin (ankle), G John Moffitt (knee) and C Max Unger (finger) were full-go.\

I'm Glad Sione is back at practice, working, looking forward to playing.. I'm not that excited, he's as durable as china during a bar room brawl , Usually one hard hit and off the IR thanks but no thanks, Same go's for the Jenkins lovers, tired of hearing how he is missed, if you mean missed more games than played than I agree, he spend 70%of his time injured, ,same guys calling for paces head. Pace is a gamer who's time has come is how I would like to put it,he's one of Jets remaining tough guys a trooper,never a word out of him, my kind of player, Let me say yes in his heyday Jenkins was the Man on the nose to deal with, both were Monsters with Panthers…

Yes getting Pouha back at 100% will be much needed to stop Lynch. Hope the Jets can turn that 12th man and the Hawks into Sleeping in Seattle. This is will take a maximum team effort to get this game. BTW the snowball throwing was a disgrace last trip out there and the stadium security did nothing to stop it. They started throwing the snowballs at the team at about the 5 min mark left in the game and continued until they left the field. Marty Lyons got hit in the face with trying to walk off the field and even though S. Ellis was wrong i understand his frustration as i watched this garbage take place. Would love to see the Hawks and their fans walk off the field and leave the stadium with their heads hanging low because they lost.

Wow…did anyone read what Broadway Joe said about Woody Johnson/Mike T.and Rex Ryan? ( Jets blog on ESPN ) Wow….well somebody won't be invited to the Johnson's Thanksgiving day dinner that's for sure!….Well said Joe, well said. And I'm glad Joe Willie was the one who called out these guys….

So long for now, Jet fans, I think you're all terrific! Given the avalanche of disastrous news that I got only a single day after the election on both health care (my two primary doctors are both closing their practices re Obamacare) and business (major companies predicting even less work next yr), it'll be a long time before I have a spare minute to go on the site, much less post. With all I'll have to do now to stay afloat in the face of still more taxes and bureaucracy, I'll be lucky to find time to watch the games. Maybe once I establish an additional business presence in La Paz or Rio my schedule will loosen up and I'll check in with y'all again. And maybe by then Woody will have sold the team — or at least Sanchez won't be starting!

I'm wondering if a front four of Wilkinson, Ellis, Pouha and Coples could work out? Seems like Mo and Coples get doubled inside in the 3-4. Hope Jets grab 2 or 3 of the best LB's next draft, anyone seen that kid Te'o at Notre Dame he's a beast? Great pass rushing teams get sack's and force int's, get pressure from all over the place, not just the DE's

Best Jets/Seahawks moment had to be Vinny T scoring that phantom touchdown to beat Seattle back in 1998.
Worst Jets/Seahawks moment had to be going to Seattle to play the 3-11 Seahawks with the Jets needing a win in 2008 and putting up 3 pts and losing. That game ended all playoff hopes as the Brett Favre led Jets ended 9-7 after starting 8-3, costing Mangini his job. I remember thinking when they got Favre that all the Jets needed was a good QB and they'd be able to beat anybody. Unfortunately, Favre was hurt and not mentally engaged. It became obvious the next year when he lit it up for the Vikings. More bad karma.
So many ups and downs for this team. It would be so nice to have a good 10 year run.

SCJoe, From the prior post I said the Jets are 2 or 3 players away from being consistent playoff contender & you said no. If they Jets had anyone of these guys (by the way all not considered elite QBS) Ryan, Schaub, Freeman, Griffin, Luck, Dalton, Rivers, Flacco, Cutler & Romo & 1 of these guys doug martin, marshawn lynch, steve ridley, alfred morris, frank gore, willis mcgahee, ahmad bradshaw, reggie bush, cj spiller & trent richardson (again all not consider elite) yet still if we had 2 of the guys I listed this team would not be totally different. Do you still not agree with that statement?

It is good to have Pouha back he is a good run stuffer but I will be more excited when Kenrick Ellis is back. He is our future at NT or at DT if we eventualy switch to a 4 – 3. He was our best player in the pre season & against the other teams 1's cause Pouha was hurt in the pre season as well.
By Tom Spicer on Nov 8, 2012 | Reply
I have gone over what the Falcons did for Ryan. What about in Tampa the Bucs had Freeman who had a terrible year. They go out & sign Vincent Jackson, the best free agent O lineman out there & draft a RB in the first round. Does everyone not see how other teams are putting the QBS in a position to do well. As the Jets ignore the O side of the ball!

Just watched McElroys interview. I understand that we have no real body of work for him so everything is conjecture BUT; He certainly came off as intelligent, articulate and a great attitude. We really need to see what he can do. I can not beleive the season is half over and more ink is spent on Tebow than anything else. ENOUGH ALREADY! If we won the SB they would probably ask Tebow how he feels about Sanchez going to Disneyworld. He would be "excited" and ready to do what he has to when called upon. At some point the "good soldier" routine besides being boring becomes unbeleivable and insulting.

By scjoe on Nov 8, 2012 | Reply
Spicer, that is a tricky one. I would say as far as the QBs you listed, Dalton, Schaub, and Luck in that order, and the RBs, Richardson, Bush, Spiller in that order, along with that 3rd player (Maybe an Aldon Smith)and yes! That would make them competitive, maybe not quite as competitive as my "A" list posted earlier, but competitive. But it is a moot point. None are available, none will become available anytime soon. The NY Jets have to go out and find their own Dalton's, Richardson's and Smith's. That is where the problem lies.

Nothing against Coples and what he has done this year. He is playing solid DE and is playing much better against the run than I would of thought. But lets say the Jets take a non injured David Decastro instead. With the Brick and Mangold playing beside him and the emergence of Howard at RT with a vey solid Moore at RG and that mediocre OL looks pretty darn good. Ground and pound seemed to work much better when Faneca was at LG. Just saying.

Spicer how many times over the last several years did I say how unbelievably stupid the Jets were for not trading for Cutler instead they draft Sanchize-Not. I screamed loud and clear that I wanted Cutler and then later Marshall when he was available and instead we have Holmes.
Had we traded for Cutler we would have won a championship instead we have a lousy QB and certainly one you can not build a team around.
Sanchize-Not has numbers of futilty that match some of the worst numbers for a starting QB in the NFL over the duration of his tenure. So for the apologists who keep supporting him you are getting what you ask for.

64'Tom one of the best bloggers on this site. I know Frank will miss you..LOL…anyway good luck 64′ see you next year when Mike T / Rex Ryan / Sanchez are all gone!..So the colts are 6-3 with a rookie QB..sub-par o-line and def…MMMMMMM….Is this coaching?,,,Is this talent? All I know is when your QB is mentioned in the sentence with BROWNING NAGLE it's bad. I remember when a Rex ryan def. would have ate and spit out rookie qb's..Whatever happened to that swag? that swarming Def. that confused the all mighty Brady…Rex needs to bring that back.

SCNY – I disagree with your characterization of Tebow's "good soldier routine" as being unbelievable or insulting. THIS is who he is! I'm not a big Tebow fan – not Tebowing at my PC right now while typing – my reaction to his arrival was (YAWN) how does this guy help the Jets? After watching the meltdown last season which we've learned was the result of too many Jets concerned about personal stats over team wins, Tebow is a huge bleeping breath of fresh air. His upbeat winning attitude and work-out regimen are legendary. If the Jets had more Tebow's and less trash talking Holmes, Wilson, Scott types Less pampered girly china -doll Sanchez types – this team would be undefeated! McElroy = nice kid, NFL caliber brain, Pop Warner arm IMHO

You know, its amazing how fast people forget.. Rex in season 1 got us to the afc championship team with a rokie qb, number 1 defense with no stars other than Revis… Same in year 2….. Year 3 we are 8 and 8 as our qb just looked lost and our OL was beat up ans Hunter was bad….. This year we are old and slow.. Look at our key guys… Bryan Thomas, Sione, Pace, Brandon Moore, Bell, and then Harris is a very slow Linebacker, Bart Scott is done and 30 plus…They waited a year to long…. That is on MR T…. As for this year, we lost our best playmaker in Holmes, lost our best D player in Revis, lost our best run stopper in Sione…. Also our qb has not played well at all he shows flashes but he is not accurate

As for Tebow, well think about it everyone said we had a bad locker room… So we bring in a guy like Tebow who is probably one of the best leaders and best character guys in the NFL.. Problem is it appears that they never wanted him… how do I know that? Think about it if the coaches wanted him wouldnt he be involved more on offense.. he is playing less than Brad Smith did….. I like Tebow he is one of the great leaders…. He could give this team a spark but I dont think Rex wants to go there…. Not sure that Sanchez could ever recover from being benched which he should but I think they feel he cant

Movement 1: Allegro

Movement 3b: Variation 1

Movement 3e: Variation 2
Movement 3f: Variation 4
Movement 4: Scherzo: Molto commodo
Movement 5: Finale: Prestissimo possibile
It was in all likelihood the publisher Tobias Haslinger who persuaded Schumann to drop both scherzos, so that the work could appear under the catchpenny title of 'Concert sans orchestre'. This wholly inappropriate designation was criticized not only by Liszt in his Gazette musicale review, but also by Ignaz Moscheles, to whom the work was dedicated. Haslinger's three-movement version appeared in October 1836, but when Schumann revised the work in 1853 he issued it as a 'Grande Sonate'. He restored one of the scherzos and also renotated the finale, changing its time signature from 6/16 to a more conventional 2/4. (The latter alteration may make the music look less forbidding on the printed page, but it does nothing to facilitate the playing of what is a fearsomely difficult piece.) Schumann also retouched the opening movement, making occasional changes to its texture, rhythm and even harmony. This is perhaps his only piano work in which the revision is patently superior to the original, and it has been generally followed here. However, one or two features from the earlier version that are preferable have been retained—notably the sustained chord that follows the flurry of semiquaver activity in the sonata's opening bars. The revised version has a straightforward chord of C major here, but Schumann originally wrote a discord which propels the succeeding musical argument with greater force and intensity.
The opening movement, like the finale, is in a highly personal sonata form which has been widely misinterpreted. Its opening half is continuously developmental—so much so as to render a central development section superfluous. Instead, a brief transition leads directly into a varied recapitulation which draws to a close with a climactic passage serving to launch a coda. This climactic passage is similar in both outer movements: the opening Allegro has a cascading descent from the top of the keyboard to the bottom, with the two hands alternating in toccata style (Schumann's first edition has instead a series of descending arpeggios played by both hands in octaves); while the finale culminates in cadenza-like tremolos which appear momentarily to 'freeze' the musical argument.
When Schumann prepared his revised edition of the sonata he did not incorporate the scherzo that was in the home key of F minor. His decision was understandable enough—not only because the work as a whole is more convincing in its tauter, four-movement form, but also in view of the comparative weakness of this scherzo's trio section. However, the scherzo itself, with its continuously syncopated across-the-bar phrases, is a splendid piece, and it appears here as the sonata's second movement.
The scherzo Schumann did retain—the fourth movement in this performance—is a highly original piece. It is in D flat major, though its opening bars approach this key obliquely, with a phrase forcibly reminiscent of the theme by Clara Wieck underpinning the entire work. The trio section is in the unexpected key of D major—a semitone higher. It is permeated with distant reminiscences of the scherzo's beginning; and when the scherzo does finally return, it grows seamlessly out of the trio's material, with its opening phrase omitted as if it were starting midstream. The suppressed opening finally appears fortissimo in the coda to round the piece off.
The central variations (or 'Quasi Variazioni' as Schumann guardedly calls them) form perhaps the composer's most perfect and beautiful sonata movement. Once again, however, it was some time before they reached their final form. Two variations included in Schumann's original autograph were discarded before the sonata ever saw the light of day, and were first published only as recently as 1983. Schumann's intention as to the second of these—a Prestissimo which carries the heading of 'Scherzo'—remains unclear, as it appears between the original variations 3 and 4, and is not independently numbered. Perhaps already at this stage Schumann had decided it was superfluous; it has consequently not been included here. However, the first of the posthumous variations is played here, and thus it reverts to what was Schumann's original sequence for the movement in its more extended form.
In issuing the F minor Sonata as a 'Concert sans orchestre' Haslinger hoped, as he said, 'to whet the appetite of a more curious public'. His scheme was unsuccessful: despite the championship of Brahms, who gave the first public performance in 1862, the sonata has remained among Schumann's least-known piano works. (If the central variations are at all familiar, it is largely because they were a favourite encore piece of Vladimir Horowitz.) That it is a problematic piece is undeniable, but it is among Schumann's most passionate utterances, and one that deserves a wider audience.

Optical illusion, cannot be the same pendant or chain, not at all as pictured. Poor, cheap tin looking with horrible stone dust and many spots with none. Approx 6.50 to return despite the mispresentations.
I receive the wrong necklace twice and returned it in hopes of getting the one I ordered to match ring and earrings. I receive a Third necklace and it is still the wrong one but decided to keep it so not to go through it all again. That is why I have not placed another order.
Very pretty but a bit unclear blackness. The chain, I hope will be strong and sturdy. It is a nicgift for my daughter. I also bought the matching erings..
I ordered this in Nov. and it has taken forever to get to me. Just got it yesterday and it is not the correct one. There is no black on it and I asked for the silver necklace with both the clear and black diamonds. It is just clear and not attractive at all.....very disappointed
It was what I wanted and Expected.I was very happy with the time of delivery and my overall experience.
Although there is nothing wrong with this necklace, it is just not as pretty as I though it would be. Not worth returning but I would not purchase it for anyone.

WOW! Thanks for tagging my layout, Rosie! I am so honored!
I'm tagging the following lo:
I love it because the arrangment of elements is just wonderful ... I especially love the little umbrella catching the hearts. The overall look of the page is lovely, but when you look closer at the details ... the resizing and placement of elements is perfectly done.
I don't know how to put photos in messages either ... so, I'll be interested in the answer, too.
Thanks again for tagging me Rosie!

Real Name
Steve Borden
Date of Birth
March 20, 1959
Place of Birth
Whatever money that WWE spent on bringing Sting on board, has apparently started to pay off. The legendary performer made his official debut at Survivor Series 2014, and that generated a ton of hype with fans across the globe. Many wanted to see if he would become a regular part of the television shows, enough to increase the amount of viewers for Monday Night Raw this week by approximately half a million.
November 26, 2014
If there is a spotlight around, then Roddy Piper wants to be in it. The WWE legend watched Survivor Series 2014 last night, and he witnessed the debut of Sting. Sensing an opportunity, he told fans on Twitter that he would gladly work a tag team match with Sting against Hulk Hogan and a mystery partner. Piper also stated that he only needed seven weeks to be physically prepared for the bout.
November 24, 2014
A lot of fans were under the impression that Randy Orton was going to make an appearance at Survivor Series 2014, especially since he was backstage and the event was taking place in his hometown. Management actually had that planned, but they canceled the idea because they wanted the focus to be on Sting. Orton will still continue his feud against Seth Rollins, but the creative department will have to come up with a different way to reignite that program.
November 24, 2014
Since Sting made his WWE debut last night at Survivor Series 2014 by attacking Triple H, many are under the impression that a match between the two will be taking place soon. That might not necessarily be the case. Management is still hoping that Undertaker can be healthy enough to work a match at Wrestlemania 31, where he would do the dream match with Sting. HHH is said to be a backup opponent in case Undertaker cannot go.
November 24, 2014
Since there are a ton of rumors swirling around this weekend about Survivor Series 2014, Chris Jericho took it as an opportunity to tease the internet wrestling community. The former world heavyweight champion joked that he was going to be meeting up with Randy Orton and Sting for lunch, since all three of them are rumored to be at the pay per view tonight. Jericho performed a concert last night in Minnesota.
November 23, 2014
WWE is really desperate to increase the subscribers count for the WWE Network, and it might prompt them to pull the trigger on something that fans have long been waiting to see. In addition to providing their online service for free during the entire month of November, management is now seriously discussing the possibility of having Sting make his official on screen debut for the company.
November 22, 2014
Fans celebrated in glee recently when it appeared that Steve Austin was going to be making a return to WWE. However, there should be some caution mixed in with that excitement. Austin has long stated that he would only do it if the deal was right. Management seems to be focused on Sting and Hulk Hogan at the moment, so negotiations with Austin have not made any progress.
October 11, 2014
During a recent interview, Sting was asked who he would like to work a match with if the Undertaker is unable to wrestle again. The former world heavyweight champion, who is not under contract to WWE as an in ring performer at the moment, stated that he would love to work with Triple H. A match between the two is possible at Wrestlemania 31.
August 23, 2014
Despite years and years of rumored negotiations between the two sides, it has now been revealed that Sting and Vince McMahon have never met in person. That will be changing soon. Through his deals with Mattel and WWE 2K15, Sting is required to be in Los Angeles during Summerslam 2014 takes place. The belief is that Sting and McMahon will finally sit down and talk about a potential wrestling contract.
July 31, 2014
For the longest time, it seemed like Sting would never ever work for Vince McMahon or wrestle for WWE, but things have taken quite the turn. The relationship between the two sides have grown rather quickly. It now appears inevitable that the legendary WCW star is going to work a big match for the company. Sting has repeatedly stated his desire to do a match at every public event that he has attended recently.
July 25, 2014
While the event is still several months away and nothing has been decided yet, Sting is already planting the seeds for a legendary match at Wrestlemania 31. The former WCW champion wants the Undertaker, and he is not shy about stating that publicly. Sting told the Mirror that he has already informed WWE of his wish for next April, so it is now up to Vince McMahon and Undertaker to decide if it will happen or not.
July 16, 2014
Fans weren't the only ones excited this week when it was announced that Sting was going to be on the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The performers backstage were excited as well, as many of them grew up watching Sting during his prime. It's still uncertain as to the extent of the deal that he signed with WWE, but wrestlers are simply excited to have him involved in any shape or form.
July 16, 2014
As many of you saw on Monday Night Raw this week, a commercial aired for Sting on the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. In a sign of how much the companies are banking on his marketing appeal, reports are surfacing that 2K paid approximately $200,000 to produce that video. The game had been receiving negative reviews from customers over the last couple of years, so the hope is that the inclusion of Sting can help to alleviate some of that.
July 15, 2014
Since he is easily one of the biggest stars that professional wrestling ever produced, the Rock remains the top choice for WWE when it comes to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Wrestlemania 31. However, the company has now focused on Sting as a potential candidate to take the top spot in the class next year in case they are unable to convince Rock to participate in the event.
June 17, 2014
Thus far, the TNA Hall of Fame consists of Sting and Kurt Angle, two of the more prolific performers in the history of the industry. A third member is set to join them. At Slammiversary 2014, Angle will be on hand to announce who the latest inductee will be. No official word on who the third person was going to be, but there are heavy rumors that Jeff Jarrett could be inducted as part of his departure agreement with TNA.
June 11, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Sting will be included in the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, which is scheduled to be released in October. Speculations arose recently because Sting appears to be on the verge of signing a legends contract with the company, which would enable WWE to use his likeness on merchandise. The belief is that Sting will be a bonus to those that order early.
June 5, 2014
Those that are waiting for Sting to join WWE are in for another disappointing year. Rumors going around right now is that the former world heavyweight champion is not going to be able to reach an agreement with the company on a contract to bring him in as an in ring and on screen performer. Sting and WWE may have already signed a deal to produce content together, however.
May 23, 2014
July is going to be a rather busy month for Roddy Piper, as the WWE legend has now been booked for at least a dozen shows throughout Europe. These events are essentially a big group discussion between Piper and his fans. The former United States Heavyweight Champion will be telling stories and answering questions. Sting, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels have done shows like these in Europe recently, and they were able to pack the house.
May 12, 2014
"It's unfortunate. At the end of the day this is a business, not everybody is going to be happy and people go their separate ways. It's the wrestling business and we're seen it happen a million times. Unfortunately, AJ Styles was a TNA original and was the face of our company for a very long time. That departure bothers me the most. I had a great relationship with AJ, we were friends, we were part of Fortune together, and we had some great matches. I understand where AJ's coming from, it's all business, and I wish him nothing but the best. Sting was a great guy to have in our locker room. He was a veteran leader. A guy that you can go and talk to, a guy who I had some memorable matches, and a guy who mentored me a lot and taught me a lot in the ring. He's an icon; his name will live forever in this business. And I wish him nothing but the best of luck. At the end of the day this is a business and you've got to do what you can for yourself." - Bobby Roode talks about people leaving TNA

Reading forum posts on the possible tri-spec and seeing the amount of people that are against it kind of validates it *possibly* being the feature Ghostcrawler alluded to.
This week:
0:51 - Where could the next expansion take place?
4:17 - Could we see a raid that requires Horde and Alliance to work together?
7:53 - Is tri-spec the secret unannounced feature Ghostcrawler mentioned?
13:17 - How is Thunderforged gear working out?
17:27 - What's a good loot system for a 10-man guild?
23:01 - Should WoW adopt a fully currency-based loot system?
30:45 - Can a "normal" player ever hope to be as good as the top raiders?
36:43 - Does the "overall" world first ranking matter?
Reading forum posts on the possible tri-spec and seeing the amount of people that are against it kind of validates it *possibly* being the feature Ghostcrawler alluded to.
The one benefit of a currency-based system is that for once I might get my shield upgrade during the tier for which it's intended, rather than coming back and farming for it two or three tiers later like usual. I'm snakebit when it comes to getting certain core pieces, tier after tier after tier.
I'd be totally cool with maintaining random loot as the primary system, while adding currency-based acquisition for the consolation prizes - say for instance failbags give you currency that after X# drops you can buy any regular (non-legendary) loot table item or something like that - you'd need to build up a record of failure but it'd at least comfort edge-case people like me.
or make the currency so rare/low that you'd only be able to purchase a couple of items per tier.
I would be in the "wait, that's it?" category if the big game-changer were tri-spec (it probably isn't). I play a elemental/resto shaman as my main in Mists, and it's hard enough keeping reasonable gear sets for just those two specs, since there isn't any spare valor to spend. My enh spec wouldn't get any use. My second raid-geared player is a warlock, but I barely even use dual-spec on him, since I don't play him often enough to keep two specs in my muscle memory.
Lol can imagine Blood Legion with an LFR alliance group if they did have a shared raid like that, they should definitely turn pvp on in there, so that if its the other team's fault, you can just have a pvp war in the instance.
I wouldn't be surprised if the big special feature is to do with pet battles tbh.

Arms DPS main spec // Prot warrior tank off-spec
In two weeks time, there will be literally nothing I could want from the VP vendor (no, I'm not making a holy spec) and I will be capped at 3000 points with another week or two of rep to be earned before I reach the next items (that I might not even need, as it is only a chestplate, and I want the T15 one).
I really don't see tri-spec fitting the criteria for the unannounced gamechanger. It's certainly handy, I'd love it, some people would say "Is that it?", but it's not a gamechanger really, especially not THE biggest gamechanger in MOP.
Correction: it was Ner'zhul that blew up Draenor. Gul'dan sorta took the Horde over from Ner'zhul and cast him aside. It was during Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, when Gul'dan took a part of the Horde and went to the Tomb of Sargeras - and died. That was when the Alliance crushed the Horde and forced them back to Draenor, where Ner'zhul was contacted by Kil'jaeden, rose, and retook control of the Horde, re-opened the Dark Portal, stole a bunch of magical Azeroth artifacts, then started opening portals to other worlds at the top of Black Temple (and then tore the world apart). Draenor turns to Outland, Kil'jaeden takes Ner'zhul's spirit and makes him the Lich King in Azeroth.
Also, I believe one of the other devs (after GC made his comment about the unannounced feature) that the feature would bring a lot more content to the game for people to do. I don't see Tri-Spec bringing "content for people to do" to the game. It's just a feature for convenience. However, on the discussion of Tri-spec being in 5.3, GC did tweet this..."Just an experiment. You can datamine a lot that may not come to pass anytime soon (e.g. Defense of the Alehouse)."

Not to be rude, but did you all of sudden get drunk when you tried to explain suicide kings?
here is an easy way of doing it: http://www.wowwiki.com/Suicide_Kings
Of the "World First" races. Does any of this mid card content even really count? Or more so "Should" it even count? Should the only real "World First" of any expansion be the very first heroic killing of the final boss?
I mean Method and Paragon have been around and out there for awhile but wasn't it some unheard of guild that got the first tier 14 heroic kill? (don't remember the name anymore) So if Method or Paragon DON'T get Garrosh down first and it goes to some other unknown guild (or another famous guild that just keeps missing the mark this time around) Does that diminish their standings? "I mean yea sure you killed Heroic Thunder King first but, You didn't get Garrosh down before guild "X" did so you're really not the #1 guild anymore" type of thing?
Just kind of seems to me these mid card boss's shouldn't get much hype about "world first" in the scheme of the expansion they just won't mean as much as Garrosh will.

text: Moody vocals from the Jankowski Singers – a hip ensemble led by pianist Horst Jankowski, with a floating dreamy sound that's very much in the best MPS easy mode! The tracks on the set are as haunting as the "nightpeople" in the title might imply – harmonic, yet slightly off-kilter – and easy, yet with an undercurrent of 70s slink that makes everything feel a bit stranger than it otherwise might. The title track – "Nightpeople Only" – is a real gem, and worth the price of the record alone – but the rest of the set is pretty wonderful too, with a cool blend of male/female chorus vocals, Jankowski's piano and keyboards, and some sweetly compressed flugelhorn solos from Ack Van Rooyen. Other tracks include "Didn't We", "Let's Make A Day", "With Two Eyes", "Light My Fire", and "Lady Eve". CD also features lots of bonus tracks too – 9 more numbers that include "Heideroslein", "Ach Wie Ist's Moglich Dann", "Dreamflight", "Pink Balloon", "So Wie Heut", "Like A Ruby In The Street", and "Du Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Gnomes have put together a special collection of 5 precious stones and crystals including Pyrite, Amethyst, Calcite, Sodalite, and a Quartz Crystal. Stones are about an inch each and are packaged in a velvety or satiny bag (assorted colors). Great for a nature table, gnome scene, science project, etc.
"I just wanted to write and say how delighted my husband and I, and our two children, are with the toys we ordered for Christmas -- a rainbow people mover, a wooden rainbow stacker and a velvet pouch of "gnome crystals." All of the toys are beautiful, and were very fairly priced. The gnome crystals completely delighted my 6-year-old boy, who said he thought Mrs. Clause must have made the velvet bag herself for him. Just lovely. I didn't anticipate that every child who comes into my house plays with the rainbow stacker, the colors are so appealing. Thanks! Jennifer R. New Cumberland, PA 1/20/2010"

hehe, i see
To be honest I could go with Kakuzu or Sasori.....Sasori seems like the least likely way to die for no reason, and I am an agreeable person like Kisame so I probably wouldn't get on Kakuzu's nerves
If I could SURVIVE Kakuzu, I'd go for him. That's not a given though.
Otherwise, Sasori first, Deidara second. Competence over reckless idiocy, but at least Deidara is a USEFUL reckless idiot, unlike Hidan...

Not Kakuzu at all, he would probably try to kill me, not cool.
I would go with ether Itachi or Kisame, both seem pretty chill to adventure with
Deidara and myself would be too cocky of a pair, fighting ever who's better in everything
Sasaori, because he's the only one without a compulsive killing disorder.
definitely Deidara senpai ... that guy is just awesome , funny & we'll be flying everywhere with his art
& she's not in your list but Konan too .... i would protect that pretty face with my life
Among the list u provided I would say
Sasori I am a calm and a philosophical type guy and I hate people with big egos so I can chill with him he is quite and wise.
But amongst all members I would pick itachi or konan my fav akatsuki member, Hell my fav naruto character's.
I'm sorry Itachi is the only one I could trust. Even though he slaughter his family

How Do I Sew Boxer Shorts?
Sewing your own boxer is much better than buying them from the store. If you make your own, or as a gift, you are able to choose the fabric, the pattern and even add some embellishements if you wish. All the things you can't get in the store, you can get in your "home sewing lab."
In order to make your boxers you need elastic tape, fabric, pins and cotton or stretch thread. The first thing you need to figure out is who you are making the boxers for so you can get waist measurements, with that said, then you need to figure out how much material and elastic you'll need. If you want to make the open flap in the front, make sure you take that into consideration when getting your materials.

Leading American designers and their most famous supporters flocked to New York's Lincoln Centre last night for the biggest night in their fashion calendar: the CFDAs, otherwise known as the fashion Oscars. Nerves were running high beforehand. One woman admitted crash-dieting to fit into her dress. The Rodarte sisters, who were nominated for Womenswear Designer of the Year, had spent all afternoon watching the movie Midnight Cowboy to calm themselves down. And even super-cool Agyness Deyn stopped for a pre-awards ceremony cigarette before walking the, er, beige carpet. Only Alexander Wang was calm, telling reporters he was 'not nervous at all' and totally 'forgot it was the CFDAs' when he woke up. The young designer took to the slightly soggy beige carpet with model Drew Hemingway, who was wearing one of his designs. And he wasn't the only designer to score big-name support: Blake Lively and Coco Rocha wore Michael Kors, Rachel Zoe opted for Louis Vuitton in support of her long-time friend Marc Jacobs, and model Doutzen Kroes seemed to have had a brilliant time getting glammed up by Zac Posen.
And then the awards began. A joke about the controversial Kiefer Sutherland/Proenza Schouler 'headbutting' incident that happened at the Met Ball earlier this year kicked off proceedings. But though that was met with 'weak laughter', the rest of the night hotted up. Laura and Kate Mulleavy of Rodarte picked up the Womenswear Designer of the Year award and were so excited they called their mum immediately afterwards. 'She said she knew we would win. But she also thinks she's psychic.' Their supporter for the night, Kirsten Dunst, was overexcited too. Backstage she pretended her clutch was a microphone and kept announcing the Rodarte girls victory over and over! Scott Sternberg for Band of Outsiders and Italo Zucchelli for Calvin Klein Collection tied for the Menswear Designer of the Year Award, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler won Accessory Designer of the Year. The Swarovski awards for emerging talent, meanwhile, went to Alexander Wang for Womenswear, and Anna Sui was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Newly engaged Marc Jacobs picked up the International Award for his work at Louis Vuitton – which no doubt he'll be adding to the fireplace he's just purchased for his new vacation home. Ralph Lauren scooped the first ever Popular Vote Award and Michelle Obama accepted her special tribute award via video link from the White House.
And the night didn't end there. After-parties sprung up all over New York. Models Agyness Deyn and Sasha Pivovarova supported Anna Sui, Demi Moore's daughters danced with Daphne Guinness at Calvin Klein's, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld languished on the sofas of a New York hotel with Thakoon and the Proenza Schouler boys until the early hours of this morning. Something tells us there won't be much work going on in the American fashion industry this morning...

Culinary Arts Schools in New York
There is no question that New York State, from upstate New York to the metropolitan New York City, is one of the best places to eat, cook, and study. A culinary goldmine, New York City has nearly every ethnic food represented in its street food and restaurants and has arguably some of the most innovative dining in America. For its 2012 edition, for example, the prestigious Michelin Guide recognized 62 restaurants in New York City; of those, nine restaurants were awarded two stars and seven were awarded three, a great honor. And don't forget about western and upstate New York: meat lovers have long delighted in Buffalo's famous chicken wings, and veggie-inclined eaters benefit from New York's plentiful organic farms. Some of the world's renowned chefs have begun their chef careers in New York, inspired by New York City's artistic and adventurous spirit. There's no doubt that culinary schools in New York will be a part of educating the nation's future top chefs.
Employment and Culinary School in New York, Food Culture Capital
Visitors, young and old, American and international, flock to New York State and its restaurants. Though New York City is the top destination for most of New York's visitors, the Adirondacks, Niagara Falls, and the cities in between enjoy a good dose of tourism as well. With visitors and a population that appreciates good food, the restaurant scene is healthy in New York State: in 2010, over 40,000 restaurants were in business, according to the National Restaurant Association. The highly successful chefs in New York City region are compensated well: the Bureau of Labor Statistics finds that chefs and head cooks in the Nassau-Suffolk and New York-White Plains metropolitan areas are paid some of the highest salaries for their occupation in the nation.
Chefs throughout the industry attest that experience and hard work is integral to building a career in culinary arts; others also find that a culinary degree is beneficial, since programs can help students attain a strong set of skills. New York culinary schools are found in a variety of locations and have a range of degree options. Check out the list below to amp up your culinary career today.

'''Produce a Locality Research Guide'''
Revision as of 18:09, 14 August 2013
Congratulations! Your society's membership has grown steadily over the past several years. The organization is now comprised of a large group of local people who regularly attend meetings, plus a number of members living in remote locations that count on the society for genealogical news from and about your area. How can your society effectively serve both types of members? Too many times those who perceive that a society is not meeting their research needs silently decline to rejoin. What can you offer that will encourage them to continue as members year after year? This paper will provide some ideas about how to best serve and interest members ... and keep them coming back for more!
An important way to keep members renewing is to give them the feeling that they are getting their money's worth when they make out that check for dues each year. The society's goal is to have members think that they really would be missing something valuable if they dropped their membership. The challenge to this plan is that members' needs and wants vary greatly. Following are several ways to make a society valuable to its members:
Publish Useful Periodicals These are important for all members, but are one of the most valuable benefits offered to those living in remote areas. With this in mind, many societies produce two periodicals, a timely newsletter containing society news, announcements of upcoming meetings, queries, lists of acquisitions to the society's collection, and wish-lists of materials and equipment; and a journal that publishes records from the area and perhaps methodology articles. The newsletter is aimed primarily at local members, while the journal is significant to everyone, including remote members who do not attend meetings or regularly use the collection. An added bonus to printing previously unpublished records and methodology articles in the society's periodical is that this information is timeless; sales of back issues to both members and non-members can help pad the treasury.
Conduct Meaningful Meetings Social gatherings where members share their personal genealogical interests are fun and worthwhile occasionally. But think twice before holding thisNow That You've Attracted Those Members, Keep Them! Page 2 FGS Society Strategies, Set I Number 13 type of meeting every month! Members may not feel a loss at missing a few of these social events, while they would missing an educational program that may help them further their research. A mix that works well for many successful societies is to intersperse educational programs with workmeetings and social gatherings.
Members or other local individuals with a genealogy-related expertise are good candidates for presenting the educational lectures, but also consider hiring a state- or national-level expert on a topic of interest to your members. Survey members to determine their interests. The quality of program presented by a well-known speaker usually is well worth the expense.
Occasional work meetings might include shelfreading to organize the society's collection, indexing, cemetery reading on fair days, or research on queries sent to the society. Besides breaking up the routine of lecture meetings, these sessions have productive organizational or project completion results.
Social meetings of the society need a structure or theme. Consider having a holiday party, dress as your favorite ancestor, tell about your black sheep, bring your favorite memento to show and tell, or have a lock-in at the society or public library.
Provide Workshops or Tutoring Programs A goal of many societies is genealogical education. Call on members to teach beginning, intermediate or advanced workshops, or hire an individual or firm to present one. Consider offering members a discount to attend the workshops.
Plan a tutoring program, matching members versed in specific areas of genealogy with those wanting to learn techniques in those areas, such as computers, military or land records, geographic specialties, and ethnic topics.
Produce a Locality Research Guide This can be an important benefit for remote members doing "armchair research" or planning a trip to the area. It also can be cited as a perk in the society's promotional material to potential members. Include a description of the records that exist for the area covered by the society, as well as addresses, telephone numbers, and hours of record repositories. Other notes might mention ease of access to records, availability of parking, rates for copies, facility policies, etc. Addresses and telephone numbers of local hotels might be included, as well as a list of nearby restaurants. Include a map. If a booklet is beyond the capabilities of the society, consider producing a typewritten guide and combining it with materials from the local Visitor and Convention Bureau as a packet.
Provide Free "Advertising" Allow members free queries in periodicals - a limited or unlimited number, depending on available space. Encourage member participation in a surname card file or pedigree chart book.
Help Members Make Priceless Connections Name a chairperson for the surname card file or members' pedigree chart book. This person should look for connections as he or she files the cards or forms. The same individual could monitor the sign-in book at the society or public library for matches between members and nonmembers. The goal is to make the member think, "Gee, I wouldn't have found Cousin Sally who has the family bible, if I hadn't joined the **** society!"
Provide Limited Free Research in Local Records Have volunteers provide a certain amount of research in local records for members. For example, the society might send a coupon each year to renewing members for one hour of research. A bonus might be to offer five hours of research to any member renewing for three years at once. This is a very valuable service for remote members unable to travel to do research in local records.
Begin a First Families or Pioneer Program Local and remote members can participate in this worthwhile type of project that brings together individuals working on the same lines as it preserves information about early settlers for future generations of researchers. Encourage the highest level of scholarship in order to collect the most accurate data and preserve the society's reputation. Consider giving society members a substantial discount on their application fee as a membership benefit. [For more information, see the wiki entry on First Families Programs.]
Be Professional in All Arenas Don't let members think that their dues are going to a "flyby-night" organization.
One way to retain members is to foster in them "ownership," the idea that it is "their" society. Make them CARE. Ways to do this include:
Give Members a Voice At meetings, encourage discussion and ensure the atmosphere is open and accepting. The responsibility of the president or chairperson is to maintain control and not let "naysayers" discourage others from volunteering ideas. Give remote members a voice through the society's periodicals. Publish the topics of meetings ahead of time and publish excerpts from correspondence regarding the issues.
Queries give members a voice. If someone writes a lengthy query of local interest, he or she could be encouraged to write an article about the family for the society periodical. People often like to see their own names in print, as well as their family information.
Tap Hidden Talents A common complaint among society leaders is that a small number of busy individuals does all the work! To change this and as a bonus to help others feel "ownership" in the society, be ever-vigilant about spotting people who are good writers, speakers, leaders, organizers, workers, etc. These people often hide their qualities well, so look closely! Ask questions.
Pay attention to what members do as an occupation or in other aspects of their lives. For example, a stay-at-home mom might be your 4-H project chairperson because she works well with children. An accountant might be your next treasurer. Someone who makes points eloquently at a meeting could be a speaker. Writers are harder to spot. Watch for those well-worded query-type letters coming in. A potential periodical editor might lurk among them as well. Remember that no written rule states that periodical editors have to be local members! If a remote member is willing to do the job, material can be sent to him or her. A computer enthusiast or someone who works in the field might be willing to set up a home page for the society, or to chair a computer interest group.
Tackle Worthwhile Projects Have a variety of ongoing projects to cater to a difference in interests. Some may like to read cemeteries, others answer queries, others index the census. People like to feel their work is important and has lasting value. Don't just ask for volunteers for these projects at society meetings. Ask people individually whom you think might be interested and do a good job.
Consider Term Limits for Officers and Encourage a Change in Committee Chairs Periodically This keeps the society fresh and allows new faces with new ideas to come forward. Change can breathe life and new excitement into long-term projects. Be on the lookout for people who might serve the society well but are too modest, too shy, or too busy to volunteer.
Experiment with Ephemera As a rule, genealogists like "stuff." They wish their ancestors had saved "stuff" from the organizations to which they belonged! Ephemera promotes ownership and allows people to show off their affiliations. The popularity of college and professional sports logo items is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Consider ordering a supply of lapel pins with the society's logo (very inexpensive) to be sold for $5. Bookmarks, tote bags, pencils with a society logo are just a few items available. Many other attractive items can be ordered in every price range.
Sponsor Contests Encourage members to write essays on their family lineages, black sheep ancestors, most unusual heirloom, or most serendipitous find. These gather material for the society's periodicals while getting members involved.
Give Awards If people do a good job, let them know! Create standing awards and allow special awards. These might be given at the holiday party in December, or at a summer cook-out. Don't forget to consider your remote members for awards, too. They might receive a citation for the most interesting ancestor of the year or a well-written periodical article, for example.
Establish a Correspondence Committee This committee answers correspondence promptly, makes referrals and sends out literature. Consider sending sympathy cards when there has been a death in the immediate family of a member. Quick, competent, and courteous attention to correspondence demonstrates to members and potential members that they are important to the society.
It costs very little money to establish traditions that will keep a society important in the eyes of its members. What it does cost is time and effort to reach out to those who might not volunteer on their own to help. As more individual members become involved in their society, not only are there more hands to help with projects, but more hearts to share in the organization's ownership and to have a stake in its success. Above all else, meet your deadlines, stay within your budget, take advantage of your volunteers, and meet your member's expectations of a professional organization.

Some products could use a little improvement. Stealth Acoustics knows this, and has decided to tweak its best-selling amplifier, the 255R.
For starters, the company has dimmed down the unit's blue LEDs and meter ladder. They've also tightened up the 2U form factor, to make close-pack rack mounting a little easier.
Everything else? Well, they left it as is. Frankly, the variable low pass filter and the phase switch didn't need any tweaking. Stealth Acoustics says they're also keeping the 255R's high-current output abilities and flexible IO connectivity.
With 350 watts of analog driven, high-current power at 4-ohms and the aforementioned low-pass filter, the 255R has a filter bypass switch to allow high-current full-range operation. Other features include balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA and speaker-level inputs, as well as matching pass-through output connectors.
"So, stack 'em, pack 'em and rack 'em" the company says.
Another thing they're keeping? The price. Stealth has listed the 255R at $616.

Partly the controversy, and the multiplication of possible intervallic relationships, reflects the fact that tuning of contemporary music had departed from the Pythagorean system expounded by Boethius, in which all the perfect intervals (octave, fourth and fifth, and their compounds) were pure but thirds and sixths were unpleasant, towards a system most elegantly codified by Gioseffo Zarlino (1517–1590) which treated thirds and sixths as pure ratios as well, the major third being 5:4 and the minor 6:5. This 'just intonation' system usually cannot be followed precisely in performance because the demands of tuning harmonic and melodic intervals purely are in competition, and also, if observed strictly, frequently lead to the music departing from its original pitch standard; however, for the most part the system produces clearly better results than equal temperament for chordal music.
Notwithstanding the intricacies of Renaissance music theory which it illustrates, Prophetiae Sibyllarum is one of the most arresting pieces of music written during the sixteenth century. Perhaps surprisingly, it dates from the beginning of Lassus's career, possibly as early as 1555 but almost certainly before 1560. It was not published during his lifetime, the earliest source being a manuscript now in the Austrian National Library, which also contains the first of Lassus's two sets of Sacrae lectiones ex propheta Job. The manuscript has a miniature portrait of Lassus as well as illustrations of the twelve Sibyls: it would appear to have been intended as a gift for Duke Albrecht.
There had originally been a single Sibyl: Herophile of Erythrae is thought to have been a genuine historical figure from the eighth century BC, though the earliest mention of any Sibyl in literature is in Heraclitus, from the fifth century BC, who names three, adding the Phrygian and Hellespontine to that of Erythrae. As in Lassus's version, Sibyls were named after the shrine at which they spoke. Ancient Greece eventually listed nine Sibyls, with the Roman writer Lactantius (AD c300, but modelled on Marcus Varro, first century BC) adding a tenth, the Tiburtine. Sibylline writings were refashioned in Christian terms from the second century AD, and circulated widely as a complement to the Old Testament prophets who had foretold the coming of Christ; St Augustine mentions the Erythraean Sibyl in The City of God, and it is probably to her that the medieval sequence Dies irae refers in the line 'Teste David cum Sibylla'.
The fifteenth century saw a revival of interest in the prophecies of the Sibyls, exemplifying the tendency of Renaissance Humanism to deploy aspects of the ancient world in support of a Christian message. The republication of Lactantius's Divinae institutiones in 1465 was undoubtedly a major spur to this interest. The twelve prophecies set by Lassus include two more than any extant antique source (the additions being Europaea and Agrippa): in this he follows another fifteenth-century version, Sibyllarum et prophetarum de Christo vaticinia by Filippo Barbieri (c1426–1487), though Lassus's ordering is apparently unique.
The thirteen movements of Prophetiae Sibyllarum are presented in a set of six pairs, with the prologue attached to the first pair. The pairs are linked by cleffing and tonality: the first, third and sixth pair have the standard cleffing pattern c1-c3-c4-f4 for the four voices (or soprano, alto, tenor and bass clefs in modern equivalents). The second and fourth pairs are in chiavette (g2-c2-c3-f3 or treble, mezzo-soprano, alto, baritone), and the fifth pair in 'low clefs' (c3-c4-c4-f5). Additionally the second, third, and sixth pairs have a flat signature, which the other three omit. These clef configurations are generally agreed to imply transposition: late-sixteenth-century music theorists usually advise that chiavette be transposed down a fourth, but theorists' discussions of the low clefs are few.
