The Purchaser shall disclose the existence of these conditions in any subsequent agreement of sale. The appropriate conditions will be incorporated in the Title Deeds of the property and any subsequent sales will be subject to, inter alia, such conditions contained in the Title Deed. All approvals pertaining to the property shall be binding on all successive purchasers and no party shall have any claim against the Sellers, Cyber Ads, Ndlambe and the Department relating to the obligation upon owners of plots to comply with such conditions. 18. INCONVENIENCE The Purchaser's attention is drawn to the fact that it is envisaged that the property will be developed in phases over a period of time. It is inevitable that construction of dwellings and other facilities will take place over a considerable period of time. It is an unavoidable consequence of development and construction that the living environment of the Purchaser will be impacted upon by, inter alia, construction, noise, dust, vehicles and general activity surrounding the process. The Purchaser shall have no claim of any nature whatsoever against the Cyber Ads or the Owners Association as a result of any such nuisance or inconvenience that might arise.

EXTENSION OF SCHEME The Purchaser's attention is drawn to the fact that the Seller has acquired or is in the process of acquiring various properties adjacent to and in the vicinity of the property. It is the intention of the Seller to incorporate such properties into the Scheme in the event that such acquisitions are completed. It is therefore brought to the attention of the Purchaser that in that event the extent of the Scheme will be considerably larger than that as contemplated for the property. The Purchaser irrevocably consents -7- to the extension of the Scheme by the addition of any or all of such additional properties as and when deemed fit by the Seller in its sole discretion. 20.

This servitude is 6 metres wide and runs along the Kowie over the property. The Seller specifically records that it is its intention to re-route the course of the said servitude right of way along a route to be determined by it and its professional advisors in its sole discretion. In the event of the extension of the Scheme as contemplated above, it is furthermore envisaged that the said servitude right of way may be cancelled by virtue of the consolidation of certain or all of the affected properties. The Purchaser specifically acknowledges that the plot hereby sold shall have no right of any nature of whatsoever to the servitude as it currently exists. The Purchaser irrevocably hereby consents to the cancellation of such servitude and if necessary to the re-routing thereof as contemplated above. 21. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT This Agreement of Sale is subject to the following conditions : 21.1 That the Seller at its cost obtain approval from Ndlambe to subdivide and if necessary rezone the property to purposes which permit the development of the property as contemplated by the Scheme incorporating a number of residential dwelling units acceptable to the Purchaser by no later than 30 June 2006. 21.2 That the Seller obtain at its cost, if proven necessary, consent from the Department of Economic Affairs Environmental and Tourism to undertake the development of the Scheme as contemplated by no later than 30 June 2006. 21.3 That the Seller obtain, if proven necessary, the consent of the Minister of Agriculture in terms of the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act Servitude 1970 for subdivision of the property as per the layout plan by no later than 30 June 2006. 21.4 That the Seller procure sales for not less than 60% of the plots as indicated on the layout plan by no later than 30 June 2006. 21.5 The transfer of the property to the Seller by no later than 30 September 2006.

What Would My Auto Payments Be?Once the loan amount is determined, the interest rate and the term of the loan will be used to estimate your monthly vehicle payment.
Auto Loan: Accelerated PayoffBy making a small additional monthly payment toward principal, you can greatly accelerate the term of your auto loan and, thereby, realize tremendous savings in interest payments.
Auto Purchase: Loan Versus 0% Dealer FinancingAt first glance, 0% financing appears to be the best option when purchasing an auto. However, if you choose to finance through a bank or credit union you may be eligible for a dealer rebate. Use this calculator to help determine which is the best option.
Should I Lease or Purchase an Auto?Although lease payments may seem attractive, it may not always be the best financial decision versus purchasing the vehicle outright and financing it with a low interest loan.
How Much Vehicle can I Afford?The down payment, interest rate, and term of your loan will also determine how much you can afford to buy.

text: Henry's Place: Bottle Rockets! How a Rocket Flies A rocket is subjected to the forces of thrust, lift, drag, and gravity just like airplanes (which we discussed last time). Do you know what thrust, lift, drag and gravity are? (This part will be review for those of you who did Henry's Place last session. See if you can remember the definitions of thrust, lift, drag, and gravity!) Thrust & Lift Thrust is the force that causes something to move in the direction it is going. For example, for the paper airplane, thrust is forward movement and you give the paper airplane thrust when you throw it forward. "Lift" is exactly what it sounds like. It's the force causes things to go up. In an airplane, lift comes when the air below the airplane wing is pushing up harder than the air above the wing is pushing down. This difference in pressure keeps the plane from dropping strait to the ground right away – it allows the plane to fly. Drag & Gravity Objects that push a lot of air are said to have a lot of "drag," or resistance, to moving through the air. You want to decrease drag to make things go farther in the air. Gravity is the force that causes things to fall down. It's actually trying to pull you and me to the center of the Earth! Decreasing the weight of an object decreases the strength of gravity's pull. ROCKETS! For a model rocket, the aerodynamic forces (or forces that deal with moving in the air) are generated by both the body and the fins. Also, rockets use thrust to overcome their weight to get into the air, and use lift to stabilize and control the direction of flight. Finally, while the effects of the forces remain about the same for an airplane, they change dramatically during a typical rocket flight. Because of these facts, there are four stages to a rockets flight: liftoff, powered flight, coasting flight, and recovery. Liftoff: At liftoff, the thrust of the rocket engine is greater than the weight of the rocket, lifting the rocket into the air. In rockets, Thrust is the force that pushes the rocket up. Unlike full scale rockets, however, our model rockets rely only on aerodynamics for stability. Powered flight: During powered flight, thrust dominates over the other forces (weight and drag) propelling the rocket vertically into the air. Coasting flight: When the engine runs out of fuel there is no more thrust force. From here the model rocket glides up to its maximum altitude. During the upward coast, the rocket is constantly slowing down. Eventually, a point is reached where the rocket can go no higher. Because gravity is still acting on the rocket, the rocket will then begin to fall back to earth. The rocket gains speed as it falls. Since the speed increases, the drag increases and a point is soon reached where the drag is equal and opposite to the weight. When the drag force equals the weight force, the rocket falls at a constant speed, also called the terminal velocity. Recovery: Usually a parachute will open which increases the drag force on the rocket, making it slow down. The rocket then lands softly on Earth. But since our rockets will not have parachutes, they will hit the ground harder than normal. So make sure you don't stand in way of a falling rocket! Bottle Rocket Blast-Off!1 How to make your rockets: Make a paper rocket and see how high it flies. One sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper (can be printed on one side) 30 cm length of PVC pipe or any tube with a 1/2" diameter Scissors Clear tape Card stock (or any stiff paper, such as used file folders or 3" x 5" cards) Markers Roll a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper into a cylinder that will fit over the tube. The paper should not be tight around the PVC pipe, but should be able to slide off easily. Tape your paper tube so it stays rolled up, and slip it off the PVC pipe. Put the PVC pipe aside. You can roll your sheet of paper the long way or the short way. With scissors, clip the end of the tube to make it pointed. Use tape to seal the point so it's airtight. This will be the "nose" of the rocket. 1 Source: http://www.exploratorium.edu/math_explorer/BBO_makingRockets.html 1 Rocket fins will help your rocket fly straight. Cut fins from a 3" x 5" card or some other stiff paper. Play around with your wing designs. Will you add any? How many will you have? What shape will they be? How big will they be? If you have fins, tape them to the sides of the rocket, how high is up to you. Be sure to tape both sides of the fin to the rocket. Use a marker to write the name of your rocket on the side. The Challenge! When you think you have a good design, set it up on your launcher. One person should aim the rocket and the other person can stomp on the pad. Then let it fly! If you want to make your rocket fly higher or straighter, maybe think about the design of your wings or even the way you stomp the launcher. Once everyone has gotten a design they like, you will all line up and see whose rocket flies the highest! Questions: 1) What are the four stages of a rocket's flight? 2) What is the force that pushes the rocket straight up? 3) What is it called when the rocket falls at a constant speed? 4) What modifications made your rocket fly better? Why?

It produces more power and torque, and accelerates quicker than any other road bike but unfortunately is still restricted to an agreed 186mph limit, but will get there in breathtaking time, hitting the limiter with ease, still with plenty in reserve. ...
749cc, 100bhp, 152mph, Insurance group 14
For many, bike journalists included, the best road bike ever built. In 1994 Honda revised an already exceptional motorcycle, giving it super-model looks while still retaining those quintessential VFR qualities of legendary reliability, consistent performance and supreme comfort. The bodywork become less angular and gained Ferrari-esque louvres on its side panels.

I may be able to point you in the right direction. My father is John Rideout, as was his father. My father was born in Boston, and his father was born in Maine, but moved his family to Boston early on... We do not have anyone by that name (Anne Marie) in our direct line, however, there are TWO other John Rideouts (maybe 3) that live in Brockton. One just passed away about a month or so ago. They are not related to my family, well, wayyyyyyyyy back maybe.... anyway, one of the John Rideouts in the other family was a police officer in Brockton. You may want to try information for area code 508... Hope this helps.

O'Brien profiles two of the 2.5 million veterans who have fought our recent wars
As a civilian, Soledad O'Brien knows she can't explain what it's like to suffer from post traumatic stress.
But her new film, "The War Comes Home," tries to approximate the feeling as much as possible by profiling Delon Beckett and Garrett Combs, two veterans home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Beckett has struggled with alcohol, and Combs (pictured) with the sense that he is still fighting. Both have suffered thoughts of suicide.
Also read: Soledad O'Brien's New CNN Special Follows Veterans With Post Traumatic Stress (Exclusive)
They are among the 2.5 million sent to fight America's recent wars. They returned to uncertainty: The film reports that nearly 8,000 veterans of all wars kill themselves each year.
But the documentary, the first long-form project for O'Brien's Starfish Media Group since she left her CNN anchor job last year, shows how the two are getting better. It profiles the Save a Warrior program, which uses techniques like transcendental meditation and equine therapy to help veterans return to domestic life.
Also read: Why ISIS Makes 'Al-Qaeda Look Like the Boy Scouts'
We talked to O'Brien about what it's like to suffer post-traumatic stress, and how Beckett and Combs are recovering.
TheWrap: How do you explain what it's like to have post-traumatic stress to someone who's never experienced it?
Soledad O'Brien: I think that was my biggest challenge. … It's really hard to understand what it feels like to have post traumatic stress. It's really hard to understand what it feels like to want to kill yourself. I thought Delon's description of being inside a burning house — you just don't want to burn, you've got to jump, you don't want to die, you just want to get out of the horrible feeling you have — I thought that was an excellent description.
And then Garrett [said] it's just like this movie playing: it doesn't end. You close your eyes and it doesn't end. It's like that horrible annoying song that you can't get out of your head. But it's not music and it's not an annoying song of the summer. It's these horrible graphic existence that have made up your existence of the last five years. It's horrifying.
It's why I think meditation is such an important thing to them. They learn how to relax without turning the movie off. Transcendental meditation is all about allowing experiences to happen while you're meditating … I think for a lot of those soldiers it's very freeing to realize, I don't take drugs to stop these things I'm thinking. I can manage having this movie playing.
But it's hard. I think their descriptions are incredibly helpful. But as a civilian I'm never going to have a tenth of a sense of what it's like.
You can cover whatever you want now. What made you focus on veterans?
I really just found a great story. It happened to be about veterans. I haven't done a lot of journalism around the armed services. I did a few pieces over the years. But I think what really appealed to me was this was a very personal and up-close story.
About a year before we started shooting this past March, I actually went out with a cohort, they call them. And it was so emotionally draining and grueling for the veterans who are in that cohort, I thought, "Gosh, if we could really get access, then we'll be able to tell this story incredibly well."
Watching coverage of the Veterans Administration scandal, it's easy to get the sense that the government is botching the job of caring for veterans. Is it?
Oh gosh. We did a screening for this doc the other day and at one point Garrett said — because people were asking questions about the VA — "We all know what's wrong with the VA. Let's stop talking about the VA. Let's just talk about things that work." … I think that there's a certain pragmatism that he espouses that I agree with.
If they were called upon, do you think the veterans you've talked to would ever be willing to go back to serve overseas?
I've never asked them that. The guys who I talked to who were so ready to get out — and the ones I'm dealing with had severe post traumatic stress — so in many cases they just wouldn't go back in. … honestly, their focus is ,"How do I deal with life here? How do I navigate a quote-unquote normal life when so many of my experiences have been completely abnormal?"
Why does equine therapy help some veterans?
There's actually a fair number of equine therapy classes for veterans and people who suffer from other kinds of post traumatic stress. It was interesting to see how soldiers react to something that you can't just tell what to do. A horse is not a dog. …You certainly can't push it in the direction you want it to go. The horse has to respect you. A horse has to be made to feel safe, like what you're asking is something it's willing to do.
Part of the tension is to make them communicate and see how much they communicate with these horses. The only way to break through and communicate is to rethink how you're doing it. Yelling at a horse isn't going to work, and yelling at a person isn't going to work.
How is it different for you to run a film company as opposed to being an anchor?
In some ways it's a lot harder because I'm responsible for everything and that's been an interesting challenge. I've enjoyed it a lot. … It reminds me a lot of what I did at CNN. I had a tremendous amount of autonomy at CNN and I really enjoyed it and now I get to people you handpick, who you want to work with, who want to be on projects, who are excited, who do high quality work. I had a really great experience at CNN and now I feel like I get to extend that.
"The War Comes Home" premieres Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on CNN.

NPCIL uncertain on waiving the "right of recourse" clause in case of an accident due to negligence
An unobtrusive clause in a commercial agreement slated to be signed when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh meets U.S. President Barack Obama next week will determine whether American companies will start reaping the benefits of the India-U.S. nuclear agreement five years after Washington backed New Delhi's case before the world community.
India had promised American companies contracts for setting up nuclear plants in return for ending its nuclear isolation. Now, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and Westinghouse are to sign a commercial agreement that in theory will give the American company the go-ahead to begin work on its nuclear power park in Gujarat.

Nicolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig
N.F.S. Grundtvig is considered to be the father of Danish folk schools. His radical ideas were the cornerstone upon which this educational reform was based. He was a Danish minister, a theologian, a poet, a philosopher, a historian, a hymn writer, a social critic, and most relevantly, an educator. His educational vision was for a unique school that would serve Danish people of all social standings, especially the farmers. He originally called it "folkelig hojskole" (loosely interpreted as "a school that would be "of and for the people"") (Borish, 1991, p. 17). His idea was to create an educational system that would give dignity to each person who attended. He wanted to awaken in each person ... more »

Based on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare game engine that has been specifically engineered to immerse players in the Bond universe, the Quantum of Solace game delivers high-definition graphics, reactive AI and visually stunning locations inspired by locales portrayed in the films. Quantum of Solace marks the first time players can become the dangerous and cunning Bond as portrayed by Daniel Craig. From silent take downs and sneaking through confined spaces, to one-on-one shoot outs and large scale battles, players experience a variety of gameplay that challenges them to think through situations and choose how they progress, whether it's through covert means or confronting enemies in full force. Advanced combat and Realistic AI: Players engage in both first-person and third-person gameplay that allows gamers to be Bond in unscripted battles against the world's most evil villains and mercenaries. Filled with armed combat, massive explosions and vertigo-inducing chases, gamers are immersed in an authentic Bond universe and drawn into epic movie moments with theatrical camera angles, split screen effects, picture-in-picture sequences, and amazing environments inspired by real world locations such as Montenegro, Venice, Bolivia and Austria. Bringing James Bond to next-gen consoles for the first time, gamers now have the ability to battle online in a variety of modes. [Activision]… Expand

This is "GoldenEye" for a new generation. And praise doesn't come much higher than that.
Quantum of Solace proves that licensed games are not always badly made games.
The length of the game is probably its biggest weakness, but the robust multi-player makes up for the short campaign.
Its playable, its easy, its simple, its entertaining, and its got a bit of good multiplayer; but it wouldn't challenge an amateur gamer and it'll most likely be back in the box and filed away as "done with" faster than a day in the office.
The gameplay shows potential, but the rest of the game isn't strong enough to lift it up into an experience that any gamer needs to see.
It's too bad that once again, Bond fans are left with a game that's more interested in cashing in on a movie license than presenting a complete gameplay experience. Quantum of Solace ends up feeling more like a mod of "Call of Duty 4" than it does its own game, and that's a shame.
Quantum of Solace never manages to be a Bond game: at the tiniest of nudges, it panics and starts unleashing gunfire. It's clumsy, it's messy, it's not much fun and most of the time, it's not even the right film.

Sep 6, 2010This is one of my favorite FPSes of all time. Granted, I never played Goldeneye, and this game is all shooting with only a tiny bit of required stealth and turret action, but the game mechanics are superb, and the fun factor is very high.
I've played it through four times already, and I expect I will play it through many more times to come. The multiplayer is still good after two years (though of course there aren't too many people playing these days), and overall it's just loads of fun.… Expand
jJan 7, 2009Ok goldeneye was probably the best bond game, but this game is great. Everyone needs to stop living in the past and stop comparing every bond game to goldeneye. this new game made me feel like bond and the fps with third person cover system works great. online is also amazing. And for those people who are complaining about for casino royale missions than QOS ones, watch the two movies. QoS is terrible while Casrino Royale's stoyr is watchable and a much better movie. I would much rather play casino when i saw that over a year ago and remember the scenes much better than QoS which i saw a month ago.… Expand
Jul 13, 2011I was at my friend's house, all bored, when I decided to pick some random game from his shelf and give it a shot. I looked over the small library, and picked one with a logo that is legendary in the FPS genre; 007.
I play the first mission and am hooked, and don't stop until I've beaten the campaign.
I don't understand why it's so good until after the first mission, when the opening credits roll. I see that Treyarch was behind it. Now it makes sense why the game is so fun.
And now, the review: The campaign is great. Combining the tense combat of Call of Duty with the cover systems found in Breach or GRAW. The story is nice, though it skips a bit in some places. The missions never feel too short or too tedious. Stealth isn't usually necessary, but it will usually make your mission easier. Silenced weapons and headshots, crouch-walking, melee takedowns, and not being directly spotted by camera or human are the rules of stealth. The ending isn't completely satisfying, but it's decent and leaves you feeling like you did, in fact, complete a full game.
The multiplayer is so much fun, and I feel that it combines the best of the classic FPS "Goldeneye" (God bless it), and the modern FPS we love and won't shut up about (I'm looking at you, Black Ops), to create one, stellar multiplayer experience. Think I'm exaggerating? In most games, I get killed and yell some obscene thing I am going to do to the enemy's pet turtle and throw my controller (in my head, at least). In this game, after a 10 deathstreak, I feel great after one kill, enough to say "Idiot" every time. This, like Goldeneye, has that effect on people; no matter how good or bad you are, you can still find something fun and 007-class awesome to do.… Expand
Jul 22, 2013I really want to give this game a 7.5 out of 10. It is a blast to play through. Although not very innovative or challenging, it is simply a lot of fun. Parts of the game really make you feel like James Bond, as you sneak around in hotels and other Bond-like locations. No, it is not a 60 dollar game. But it is definitely worth what you can get it for at today's prices. I got my copy for 3 dollars. So if you can get a cheap copy, definitely check it out!… Expand
Mar 11, 2013Was sprised that i actually liked it. It is nothing outstanding but it is a good fps, wich includes also casino royale in it
Nov 7, 2010I didn't really like the multiplayer that much, mostly because I felt like it was just a Bond-themed Call of Duty knockoff. But the single-player campaign had enough exciting and fun moments that I can call Quantum of the Solace the best Bond game in quite a while. It's not able to compete with many modern shooters in terms of gameplay but it's fun, and it really lets you feel like you are James Bond. And that says something.… Expand
SteveWallsOct 24, 2008Got to play this at a Activision hosted gaming event. The Game looks great (it buses the call of Duty 4 engine)... that's a given, but it lacks the feeling of an actual BOND game in the process, and honestly playsm subpar. Not a BOND game at all, but hopefully the controls are fixed by it's release!… Expand

Posted June 06, 2012 on AP on Fox
Texas Rangers starter Derek Holland went through his normal workout routine Wednesday, saying he expects to make his next turn in the rotation Sunday at San Francisco despite being slowed by a puzzling stomach virus. Holland has lost about 15 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks since coming down with the bug, which caused him to fatigue during the Rangers' 6-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. He is taking antibiotics and says he feels stronger despite weighing only 202. His system is beginning to normalize. Texas manager Ron Washington expects Holland to be re-evaluated before doctors determine if he needs to undergo further testing, such as for a food allergy or other issue. Holland recently cut out dairy and eggs.

NEW YORK - It wasn't very long ago that Americans often had lunch and dinner — and sometimes even breakfast — interrupted by phone calls from sales people.
Such nuisance calls were sharply reduced after the 2003 creation of the federal do-not-call list, which prohibits telemarketers from phoning those who have registered.
Despite the popularity of the registry, which has grown to more than 150 million numbers, there had been worries that some home phones could begin ringing again with sales calls this year because of a rule requiring consumers to re-register after five years.
Congressmen are working to fix that: Legislation passed by the House and Senate aims to make permanent the registrations on the do-not-call list maintained by the Federal Trade Commission.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, a Democrat from North Dakota who sponsored the legislation, said he expects the nearly identical bills to be reconciled and forwarded to President Bush for signature by the end of this month.
Dorgan pointed out that the do-not-call list "has to rank among the most popular programs in history." As he put it, "Not only did the American people respond to the original legislation — they responded immediately, and en masse."
The new bill, he said, fixes a glitch in FTC rules.
"Certainly, people didn't want to have their names removed from the list and have to come back to the government to create a new list," he said. The FTC has acknowledged the problem and pledged not to drop any telephone numbers based on a five-year limit "pending final congressional or agency action on whether to make registration permanent," according to testimony before Congress last fall by the FTC's director of consumer protection, Lydia Parnes.
The agency said the rule requiring re-registration every five years originally was adopted to try to keep the list as fresh as possible. Since 16 percent of all phone numbers change every year and 20 percent of all Americans move each year, the thinking was that a re-registration requirement would help eliminate numbers no longer in use or that had been assigned to others.
But the FTC found that changes including "increased usage of cell phones and increased popularity of telephone number portability" had made that unnecessary. Also, a "scrubbing program" developed in cooperation with local phone exchanges automatically eliminates disconnected or reassigned numbers, it said.
It concluded: "The registry has enjoyed unprecedented popularity and helped enhance the privacy of the American people in a tangible way."
Families can register home phones or cell phones on the Internet at www.donotcall.gov or by calling the toll free number (888) 382-1222. Telemarketers must stop calling no later than 31 days after the registration.

A Mandala is an imaginary Palace that is contemplated during meditation. Mandala in Sanskrit means "World in Harmony".
Mandalas symbolize the greater external Universe leading to the internal Universe of our true Self. We are all a part of the Universe, and the entire Universe is contained in each molecule of our seeming individual Beings.
Also each colour we perceive carry vibrations that can change and heal our internal world, creating greater Harmony within our Being. Each of these Mandalas were created with vibratory healing effects from the colour rays they were created with.
I am a Certified Practicing Colour Therpist from The School of Natural Health Sciences London, England, which is a member of The International College of Holistic Medicine. I can create Mandalas from the color vibrations of each individual letter of your birth name. These are said to be the most naturally healing and harmonizing to your internal world.. I also create Healing Mandalas for of any type of "dis-ease" you may be experiencing.

TTR: Burn River Jump 2011 - Big Air Finals
A Snowboarding video by WorldSnowboardTour - 6,189 views
Living up to its reputation, the 5Star Burn River Jump gathered a crowd of 2000 screaming fans to support the international line up of riders jumping over the Spoel river at the night time "Grand Finale" of the event in Livigno, Italy. Over a few days, during 22nd February 25th of February, 2011 this elite Italian snowboard competition ran two formats; slopestyle and big air. Kicking off with the Burn slopestyle contest in the Swatch Mottolino Snowpark, the spectators saw Norwegian Ulrik Badertscher take top honours. Ten of the best scoring riders from the slopestyle, received invites to compete in the night-time big air competition along with the invited riders and wildcards.
Due to high winds that came in during the first qualification round the organizers made the decision to close the big air, and re-run the qualifications using only the " burn river jump" and the end jib section. As the course changed significantly the new format saw a 4Star TTR status. 16 riders battled it out for a place in the four man super final. The nail biting two-run knock out super final saw Norwegian duo Alexander Ostreng and Ulrik Badertscher, who both had made their way all the way from the qualifying rounds, go head to head, while Jamie Nicholls and Eric Willet battled each other. In the end it was Alexander and Eric who made it through to the final round. Aleksander nailed his first run that included a huge backside 900 over the river and a switch front lipslide 270 out in the jib section, knocking out Eric's top run consisting of a switch backside 900 and stylish boardslide. Ulrik took third place leaving rail extraordinaire Jamie in fourth. Jamie bagged the additional "Burn Jib Master" award for his rail trickery. With the two podium placements Ulrik Badertscher leaped up in the Swatch TTR ranking and now sits in World No. 14, while Jamie Nicholls jumped into World No. 28.
