Bulls claim first win at Eden Park
ESPN Staff
March 10, 2013
Wynand Olivier and the Bulls overpowered the Blues%]
The Blues' momentum shuddered to a halt on Sunday afternoon, the Bulls overpowering and out-thinking the early-season pacesetters in the first half before withstanding a fierce second-stanza comeback to claim their first Super Rugby win at Eden Park.
The Bulls did not impress everyone in their opening victories against the Stormers and Western Force, while the Blues had defeated the Hurricanes and the Crusaders in style to provide fans with genuine belief that they could contend for the title; but the Blues were fractured and disjointed in the first half, after coach Sir John Kirwan had made six changes to the starting team that had dispatched the Crusaders, and ultimately they gifted their opponents too much leeway.
"We didn't turn up," Blues captain Ali Williams said of his team's efforts in the first half. "Piss poor to be honest. I'm gutted. We'd earned some respect and then we've just lost it. We've got ourselves to blame. We didn't attack. We didn't play the game that we trained. It's a good learning curve. We're gutted. We're pissed off."
Bulls captain Pierre Spies, conversely, was very happy, saying: "We'll be thankful and humble. It's a great team effort to come here and win. In the second half, we felt we just had to be clinical against a team like the blues. They've got some aggressive runners with ball in hand. It was a clinical performance, a really hard effort."
The visitors were powerful and precise with ball in hand in the opening quarter, close to and through the ruck and particularly when they elected to go wide: they stretched the Blues and tries in opposing corners from wingers Lionel Mapoe and Akona Ndungane were the least they deserved from their performance that dominated possession and territory in the first half.
Kirwan said at half-time that his players had lacked "passion and pride" in the first stanza, that "you can't play football when you're getting bashed up", and the Blues were much improved in the second half after what was clearly a stern address from the coach at the interval.
They were first to score in the second half, through the boot of fly-half Baden Kerr after Bulls prop Frik Kirsten was penalised for a scrum infringement, and then claimed the lead through a try from Charles Piutau, the fullback slicing though the Bulls' defence to cap a flowing backline move after powerful phase play.
The Bulls hit back immediately with a try from Arno Botha after phases following a searing break from Ndungane and wonderful, desperate hands from replacement prop Werner Kruger, and extended their advantage when the Blues conceded a penalty through Kerr for a high tackle.
Each team then had opportunities to score tries: first Blues replacement prop Angus Taavao-Matau dropped the ball with the tryline gaping; then Bulls half-back Jano Vermaak dropped the ball over the line under serious pressure a couple of phases after a length-of-the-field counter-attack launched from the base of a scrum by No.8 Pierre Spies.
The Blues gave themselves hope of an unlikely comeback win when Rene Ranger outstripped the defence and ran over the top of a tackle to score in the corner after good lead-up work from fellow centre Francis Saili, but the Bulls showed discipline and composure to close out the game with a penalty goal from Morne Steyn, with the last kick of the game, rounding out the score.

Passenger's Absurdly Sexist Note to Female Pilot Doesn't Make Him Look Like One of Life's Winners

My, how time flies.
Some kids love playing dress-up, but 4-year-old Mayhem likes to dress up and construct her gowns ... out of paper, no less! And her version of Taylor Swift's Jenny Packham gown will have you pulling out your your scissors and glue.

In 1986, Rob Reiner's coming-of-age tale 'Stand By Me' hit theaters, helping spark the careers of multiple young actors.
When we see something frightening headed towards us, one of the most obvious involuntary actions is to pull a stupid face. But why are all of these people so scared?

In the ReportLab User Guide it says:
The colortest.py script in reportlab/demos/colors demonstrates the different ways in which reportlab can set up and use colors. Try running the script and viewing the output document, colortest.pdf.
This shows different color spaces and a large selection of the colors which are named in the reportlab.lib.colors module.
When I installed the ReportLab site-package it created a folder called reportlab but the only sub-folders installed were fonts, graphics, lib, pdfbase, pdfgen and platypus but no demos.
Is the documentation in error or am I misunderstanding where to look for them?
Either way I'm keen to find a wider list of ReportLab's named colors rather than trying to guess which may be valid.

When members of C'est Naturelle Farms' CSA program left Vernie and William DeMille with hundreds of pounds of quickly spoiling extra produce, they knew there had to be a better way.
That's when the DeMille family remade C'est Naturelle into a full-diet farm, selling memberships that are capable of providing a family table with a full menu of fresh, local food on a year-round basis.
The Oregon City farm is currently gearing up for the 2012-13 farm season — full-diet memberships begin in July.
Take a look at the gallery of photos by Portland Business Journal Photographer Cathy Cheney to see what a full-diet farm looks like on the ground.

BM Aura vs. Natura paint
Can anyone explain the difference between these paints, both in terms of application and how they look? I've used Aura in a few rooms in my house and the painters (pro and family) have been unhappy with how thick it is and they say difficult to apply. It does look kind of gloppy on trim. Would Natura go on more smoothly? Does Aura look better than Natura on the walls due to more pigmentation or something?
Thanks for any help.
I had my master bedroom done in Natura and guest rooms in Aura (hated the colour in guest rooms so will be redoing, but that is a side issue).
My contractors noted that the Natura was *really* thick and rather difficult to work with - the paint job underneath was a bit troubled so hard to tell which blotches etc. were due to previous paint job and which could be due to Natura paint issues. In comparison, these same contractors loved the Aura paint and found it nice to work with (different than what your painters said). So if your people found Aura thick and difficult, they may find Natura even more so based on what my painters said.
Also, my Natura paint still has a slight stickiness to it even weeks later whereas Aura dried up perfectly. I want to use a no-VOC paint, but based on my experience I'd go low-VOC/Aura before I'd use no-VOC/Natura.

morning musings...
Good morning all! Watching Max the Moo whine around the house cus he has a bit of a treat left that he wants to bury... he hides it in various and sundry places, using his little nose in a vain attempt to cover it with debris - not a lot of that around the house - he has better luck outside. Then he lays down to admire his work and keep an eye on his goodie. After a few minutes, he gets up and hides it again... this entails much walking around the house and whimpering while he tries to find the perfect location. Sometimes this performance can last for an hour or more... when he finally settles down to eat the treat, he will usually gnaw away some of it from one position, then get up, turn around and dig in from the other direction. Interesting to see the vestiges of the wild left in my domestic boy...
Bonnie the wonderdawg found part of an articulated deer carcass in the woods. All that is still around are three pairs of leg bones.
And the old dawg is like a puppy with a toy. And we're getting a sort of bone meal in various and sundry places.
LOL, I can just picture Max the Moo. I love that!
I love watching my guys find things to take to their hidy-places, or dangle them and pretend to start to run away to entice someone to chase them.
My favorite recently is Kyta the Jindo [primitive Korean breed] realizing that he enjoys protecting the food... you know, that can of Pringles on the side table like in ancient Asia ;]
He takes great pains to not let anyone get within 3 feet of it without his low rumble-warning... and seriously waggy tail :)

Can Facebook help Hollywood? Some execs doubt it
Apparently Hollywood doesn't like Facebook as much as it thought it would. Studios are concerned that they aren't getting the return on investment from their time and ad dollars on the social network, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The question at hand for the industry is do "likes" result in ticket sales at theaters or television ratings in prime time. While Hollywood is a place where few will outright criticize an idea, but when the effectiveness of a strategy starts to dwindle, execs will abandon it en masse.
"Facebook continues to be an important advertising partner," said Dwight Caines, president of worldwide digital marketing at Sony Pictures Entertainment told the Times. "They are on every campaign we do today."
But while some execs might be shy about saying anything negative about the social networking giant, they seem to be questioning the actual worth of marketing on Facebook in the wake of a new algorithm that decides what floats to the top of a users news feed.
Per BlitzMetrics, Facebook's new algorithm caused 72% of movies and network TV programs to see a sharp drop in the number of users seeing their ad after the algorithm launched. According to the report, 23 percent of the largest studios saw reductions in engaged users (people who click or share) and the drop in reach (people who see the ad) dropped 45 percent.
"For people who are actually looking at the research and are looking for return on investment, for metrics that indicate specifically what Facebook's role is in the movie marketing equation, the jury's still out," said movie marketing consultant, Jim Gallagher, formerly at Walt Disney Studios, per the Times.

Water Lily by SIZE
gardengal_co(z5 CO)May 15, 2010
I am researching water lilies by size. A while back I found a chart that categorized lilies by size; pad and spread. I am looking for this chart once again and cannot find it anywhere online.. that's where I saw it the first time. Does anyone have a resource or link for this information. I would like to have this information available for customers that are looking for the right size lily for their size of pond. Thanks, Kristi
Hi Kristi,
Hi Kristi,
Here's a chart that I've found online.
I think it's the same one that you saw. Not that it'll be of much help to you 2 years later, but it might help someone else looking for the same/ similar information xx
Here is a link that might be useful: WL

Lavender and Mexican firebush issues
Hi! I'm new to the forum. I have recently begun xeriscape gardening pretty heavily on my own for relaxation. I love it! I'm a stay at home mom of two small children and gardening has really helped me stay centered.
I have been successful with most native and adapted drought tolerant plants until I get to my front yard. First off, I had a lavender plant that was potted in a restaurant size vegetable steamer with many small holes. It was doing fine in there for a long time and then started to look bad so I transplanted it to my front yard on a rocky slope where my rosemary bush was thriving and I think its too late to save it. I stil can't tell if it was bad soil, bad soul drainage ( too much water) or not enough water. Any ideas?
Strangely I had a potted lavender that was thriving in the back yard and I moved to the front yard, not changing its pot or soil and it looks little less happy. Some of the older growth of bigger leaves are a little yellow in hue. The pot it is in has a really tiny hole for drainage. Too much water?
My lavender plants in recycled car tire rubber pots are thriving!
What's worrying me most right now is my newly planted Mexican firebush. I have a rather large potted one that is thriving that I have been using for comparison. The newly planted ones bark halfway down the plant and towards the root is turning a super light, almost white brown. The potted plant's bark looks like the newly planted ones top half, a darker brown. So once again I am thinking is it bad soil? I haven't grown many plants in this spot due to a bad gutter system in the past and sitting water but there hasn't been any rain and I added top soil so the yard would angle down from the foundation for good soil drainage.
I'm starting to worry about everything I have put in the ground in the front yard. It's xeriscape basically so I know the decomposed granite can really heat things up. My skullcap insnt looking too hot either. It's planted on a slope. I thought that they did well on hills.
Sorry to be so long winded! Any advice!? I don't want to lose my Mexican firebush, bottlebrush or my flame acanthus which I thought was different than a Mexican firebush but it is actually the same plant? This plant looks a little different and looks a little unhealthy as well. Please help! Educate me!
Also, one last question. A fly by night landscaper started a job he never finished with these fairly cheap baseball size rocks which look okay I guess. I went to custom rock today and bought a lot more granite and it's larger in size to cover everything. I also bought some limestone boulders to put on the hill to help with erosion. I also bought some Mexican beach pebbles on clearance. Love this rock! Ideas on how to use it? Will all this work to combat erosion help the quality of my soil? Any ideas on how to get rid of all the ants?
What do you mean by "xeriscape"?
When/how did you plant everything and how often have you been watering the plants? Are you using the rocks as mulch? How much sun does the front yard get? What about the backyard? Which direction does the house face? What type of soil do you have and how deep does it go? If you can give us answers to these questions, we'll have a better idea of what the situation is and maybe someone will be able to answer your questions.
Ok. I've put tons of compost and top soil in the bed. 0ver 6". Same soil I've used for the backyard that has grown most native plants successfully. The soil in my yard has a lot of rocks and some clay but as far as its PH, I'm not sure. My house faces north. Front and back get full sun. I've used decomposed granite for mulch and egg rocks. I've been watering about every other day but not heavily. These new plants I planted about 10 days ago. Bulbine and brown eyed Susan are happy but Mexican firebush varieties are dying.
Xeriscape- : a landscaping method developed especially for arid and semiarid climates that utilizes water-conserving techniques (as the use of drought-tolerant plants, mulch, and efficient irrigation)
I can really only speak to your Lavender issues. I tried and failed with Lavender once before, but have had amazing success on my latest go-around.
Do you by chance know what variety of Lavender you have? The reason I ask is not all can deal with our heat.
After doing some research, I found that the variety "Goodwin Creek" is supposed to be suited to the heat and drought of central TX. I planted 8 of them last winter and they've absolutely thrived. I don't know about now, but earlier in the season they were readily available at the big boxes.
Good luck!
Cherryjet, welcome to the forum and congratulations on being a stay at home mom.
Against my own better judgement I planted two gallon size Mexican honeysuckles yesterday. I say that because it's hard to successfully move things this time of year from the enclosed environment of their pot into the hot dry ground, in full sun no less, where the dry ground around the plant wicks the moisture away. However, the one I planted this spring looks so nice among several Henry Duelberg salvias that I wanted to continue the color scheme so I took a chance.
It's a risk because planted in cooler weather the roots have a chance to spread widely and get settled in before hot weather when most growth stops. To help them along I laid the hose at their base after planting and let the water dribble to get the whole area well beyond the roots well wetted. Then I covered the area with a thick mulch of ground tree limbs which some tree trimmer left to keep the moisture from evaporating away too quickly. I'll be watching them and let more water drip on them if they show signs of wilting.
The main task is to keep the roots cool and damp, but not so wet as to rot. Mex. firebush and Mex. honeysuckle are similar in that they are very drought and heat tolerant and how the established plant manages to stay looking fresh in this heat is beyond me. Their roots probably roam deep and wide.
Another trick you can use to plant things now is to prop a box up on sticks to shade them during the heat of the day for two or three weeks. I'll do that if I see what I planted wilting. If your firebush looks like it's dying try cutting it back by about half and cover it with a propped up box to give light and air, but no sun. Not having so much top growth to support might give the roots a chance to recover.
I never had much luck with lavender, but I know they like very well drained soil so the elevated position they have in the tires helps a lot, and as bjb said above the variety makes a lot of difference too. Planting anything out in this heat is not the greatest of ideas, but even the experienced gardeners among us keep trying anyway. So we'll wish each other lots of luck and if stuff doesn't make it we can plant again in the fall.
One mistake all new gardeners make is not watering shrubs deeply enough. Once I alerted my next door neighbor that an established shrub was wilting and needed water. She ran over and watered the foliage and ground for a few seconds with the hose full blast. Most of the water ran off and I dug down a bit to show her and only the top inch of soil had gotten wet which did the roots no good.
Keep us posted!
Thanks Rosalee for the advice! Just an hour ago I couldn't take it anymore and I dug the fire bush up to put it in a pot to see what's going on and see if it will live through the transplant. The soil was pretty wet! I have not watered much but I think it has root rot! Maybe I should get the soil's PH tested?
Yeah, I've dug plants back up and put them back in a pot in hopes of saving them too. As for the pH being a problem in my experience Mexican firebush is pretty tolerant of just about any soils. I don't think you need to do pH test. Sometimes if it is root rot you can pick up a sour or rotten smell, but if water doesn't stand in the soil it doesn't usually rot the roots.
Everything I plant at this time of year dies except for cactus and even some of them. I try not to plant and just to tend things now. I prepare land and do rock work and ready things for planting in september and October, In the vegetable garden I try to plant tomatoes and seeds and have not very good luck there either.
I like spanish lavendars for central texas.
Mexican Firebush is Hamelia patens
Flame acanthus is Aniscanthus quadrifidus var wrightii
They are different plants unless one of yours was mislabeled.
I suggest to water your garden and take your kids swimming and don't plant anything past May till it cools off unless you do not mind if it dies and it is always a gamble at this time of year.

Why get married.
There seems to be a trend for young adults not to get married, in Australia, and maybe in the US...and just cohabit.
My daughter is in this situation and I often find myself thinking about the pros and cons of marriage. She says she has no need to get married and I really cannot think of a reason why marriage is better than living together.
I would appreciate some comments about this.
Apart from religious reasons for getting married, why do people get married, these days ?
It's a different feeling from co-habiting. Marriage means making a commitment to one person hopefully for life. With co-habiting at the back of your mind you know you can always just walk out the door and there will be few complications or ramifications. With marriage you know it isn't so straightforward. Marriage means standing up in public and saying,"This is the person for me."
Marriage also has a lot of legal ramifications co-habiting doesn't- for instance, if a person is suddenly in intensive care, a spouse has rights regarding that person's medical treatment a FWB doesn't; inheritance laws come into play; if the relationship breaks up there are formalised rules regarding disbursement of assets and custody of any children.
IMHO...it's best for kids. It's what families are made of. It's good. I'm in favor of it.
However, without kids, it's a an agreement you make to allow the state to make it a three-way, voluntarily assigning to it the role of absolute judge/arbiter in case of any serious disagreement.
I don't need that or want it. It has been made abundantly clear to me that my own ideas of fairness and equity are superior to the state's.
Having been divorced twice and having seen the state's idea of "fair and equitable" resulting in less for my spouses -- the attorneys collecting the difference -- I am less than impressed. I have no children. There was nothing to decide except for division of assets.
It is very clear to me that my own ideas of fairness would have resulted in a far better situation for my divorced spouses. At least both have told me as much. Financially, the result was the same for me in both cases. In both cases, the amount the attorneys took was less than the amount I offered both free and clear and tax-free in the beginning. Basically, the attorneys took from my ex-spouses what I'd offered them voluntarily in the beginning. Except that we were "married" and my spouse must have watched too much TV. And their attorneys told them what a b***tard I was. And so on to court we had to go.
If other people have different ideas of "fairness" than I do....well, I can't speak to it. I do know myself and my own ideas. And I know the state screwed both of my former wives. They didn't know it while it was going on. They surely knew afterwards. I advised and would have chosen otherwise. Because I was "married", the state -- via the court -- was allowed to examine and decide. Net/net it's very clear to me they decided that attorneys needed OUR money. I was fine. They both came out with less. Stupid.
Don't marry unless there's a reason. Simple contracts can handle everything that needs handling.
For lots of people, tradition and familiarity carry the day. For example, upon introduction what is one to say? "This is my poslq?" (Person of opposite sex sharing living quarters.) People understand "husbands" and "wives". Anything else still raises eyebrows.
As far as "...legal benefits- inheritance, insurance, right to make medical decisions." All can be handled by simple contracts.
When children are involved, I think marriage is always best. If it's just two people, keeping the state out of it is something to consider, IMHO.
In both of my marriages I, too, decided "this one's for me". Didn't work. 50% of the time, it doesn't. Many lawyers and real estate people make their livings from the circumstance.
> IMHO...it's best for kids. It's what families are made of. It's good. I'm in favor of it.
It's worst for kids when the parents don't get along well but "stay together for the kids". I could write a book about the living he!l said kids go through, and the distorted perceptions they learn about adult relationships as a result.
The OP is in Australia, where, from what I understand, there are nothing like the kinds of legal ramifications of married vs. single that there are in the U.S., which make me wish I lived in Australia sometime. I've never heard of Australians getting married so one of the two could obtain healthcare from their new spouse's insurance plan; I know two American couples that married almost solely for that reason.
Personally, I think marriage is detrimental to good relationships. It artificially holds you together by imposing massive divorce costs and such. I don't feel any need for a piece of paper registering our relationship with the government. I don't want anything holding us together except that we want to be, which paradoxically, makes for a stronger relationship than if it were government- or religiously-enforced.
I'm on the fence.
If I had married when I was younger and more immature, I'd be divorced by now. Too many marriages fail when they are rushed into.
However, I'm also with the belief that marriage is forever. I consider mine forever, but 10 years into the relationship I realize I married the right man. Someone else, perhaps my situation would be different. But that's the difference between marrying in my 20's vs. my 30's. I'm a lot more mature and established in my 30's. I have different priorities in my 30's. And, I also cohabitated in both my 30's and 20's. Luckily, or unluckily, my mother was divorced twice. I knew better than to rush into marriage.
I think you learn a LOT about someone cohabitating with them vs, getting married. And sorry, being honest here, but I could never fathom marrying anyone before the bedroom stuff, because I'd die if he were a complete dud in the bedroom.
Also, from an economical standpoint, it makes sense to have a "roommate" whether that be platonic or a love relationship, after all, we're at their house most the time anyway and sharing our lives together in every other aspect, so why not split the bills rather than paying "extra" rent for that other place?
"I've never heard of Australians getting married so one of the two could obtain healthcare from their new spouse's insurance plan; I know two American couples that married almost solely for that reason. "
You are correct about the healthcare issue. Everyone is covered here, whether you are married or not.
I think, here, when a couple are thinking of buying a house, or buying anything as joint owners, it is probably more secure to get married. I assume a marriage contract is more secure in a financial way, for each person, than the legal issues around a de-facto relationship.
I guess when a couple marry everyone knows where they stand, there is a contract. If a couple live together perhaps their rights and obligations to each other are in a grey area, unless you actually sit down and talk about it.
Our Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, is not married, but has a long term boyfriend. I think it is curious that this man, lives with her in the PM's residence in Canberra. I think this is a first for our country and I am surprised that people have not made it an issue. People can be very conservative about these things.
> from an economical standpoint, it makes sense to have a "roommate" whether that be platonic or a love relationship, after all, we're at their house most the time anyway and sharing our lives together in every other aspect, so why not split the bills rather than paying "extra" rent for that other place?
Exactly, and that's why I've shared my home with over 20 people over my adult life, sometimes to known friends or lovers, mostly to unknown roommates. Having someone around to talk to, share cleaning and food preparation duties with etc. is worth $600/mo - hey wait, they pay me $600/mo. to live in my apartment. Why do so many people live alone?
> I think you learn a LOT about someone cohabitating with them vs, getting married. And sorry, being honest here, but I could never fathom marrying anyone before the bedroom stuff, because I'd die if he were a complete dud in the bedroom.
Me neither, but someone in my family did just that, only to learn too late he had no interest in the bedroom stuff after they got married either. If you marry someone with whom you've never shared a bed or shared an apartment, you really don't know each other well and it's a crapshoot.
Heh, I've only been married a couple of years, and we are "relatively" young (28 & 27). Hub comes from a religious background so I assume that his feelings about marriage would come from a religious standpoint.
Personally, I chose marriage for a couple of reasons. One was that upon seeing my husband for the first time my first thought was "I'm going to marry that guy!" - so, it was a goal LOL..Another reason is that I really believe in the concept (I also believe that anyone who wants to marry anyone should be allowed to do so). It is better for families, I've seen how hard it is for kids whose parents weren't married - I have also seen that it's just as hard (if not moreso) for kids whose parents stay together "for the children".
I got married because it seemed right to be legally bound to the man I loved for the rest of our lives. There are many ways to be bound to a person for life, and marriage seemed ( to us anyway) the best way to prove to eachother that no one else would do for us.
Although... I must admit, if he'd asked me a few years earlier I would have rather had a "Handfasting Ceremony", as at the time I thought marriage was just a piece of paper. To me (now, anyway) it's MUCH more than that.
Luckily we chose marriage for the "right" reasons, as I've seen many people get married just for the tax purposes or health insurance or green cards or all the other legal trappings of The Institution.
Too bad you didn't have a ex like me asolo, I agreed with him and we shared the lawyer. It can happen. The next time, he didn't agree, but I gave him the antiques and we both had to bankrupt anyhow. It's the agreeing that makes it easier.
But, had we not been married, things would be really different Popi. Whose rights would've been supplanted completely, while the other completely prevailed? It could happen. It's not for the good times one needs to consider the legal ramifications, those are for the what-ifs.
Marriage is good if you have children. Marriage is good if you want to show the world, you want to "seal the deal". Outward show of the inward feeling. But we all know how that intangible can be enough to get you through. I'm not down on marriage just because I can't get it right. I had a 50/50 chance each time. There were good times, but people aren't perfect. Backing out is harder when you're married and that can be a good thing when trying to work out the problems. Gives you stability.

Superimposed Pilots Aided Joint CFO and Channel Estimation for ZP-OFDM Modulated Two-Way Relay Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Existing works on joint Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) and channel estimation in Two-Way Relay Networks (TWRN) only deal with the convoluted channel parameters and the mixed CFO values. In this paper, the authors design a superimposed pilot based training strategy from the relay node such that the individual frequency and channel parameters can be obtained at the source terminals. They consider the Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relaying scheme and discussed over the Zero-Padding (ZP) based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation in order to cope with the frequency selective fading channels. They build up the system model and propose the joint estimation method. Then, an iterative process is proposed to further improve the estimation accuracy.
