SIMON BORCHARDT says sevens will never matter to the majority of South African rugby fans as long as the national team is made up of high-school graduates and provincial rejects.
A week ago, a poll on keo.co.za asked: 'Do you care about the IRB Sevens World Series?' Of the 994 readers who voted over the next two days, 71% said no.
That didn't surprise me. After all, why should fans care about a tournament that doesn't involve top-quality players?
In a recent interview with SA Rugby magazine, Bok Sevens coach Paul Treu told the story of a meeting he had with Rassie Erasmus about calling up two WP U21 players to the sevens squad. Erasmus turned down the request, saying there was a chance they'd be needed in Super Rugby.
You have to feel sorry for Treu. He cannot select any contracted provincial player without the permission of the province, and is forced to rely on youngsters who aren't yet ready to play professional rugby or older guys who can no longer command a starting place at their unions.
I don't buy the argument that our sevens players want to be sevens specialists because they prefer the format to 15-man rugby. When Fabian Juries, a sevens legend, was offered a contract with the Cheetahs, he didn't hesitate to put pen to paper. Ex-SA Sevens captain Mzwandile Stick did the same when Eastern Province – a First Division Currie Cup team – came calling. In this country, representing the national sevens side is a consolation prize and nothing more.
That would change, though, if Treu was allowed to pick Vodacom Cup players for the Sevens World Series and Saru paid those unions compensation. How can a B-grade provincial competition that nobody cares about be a higher priority than an international series?
Treu should also be allowed to pick two or three Boks for the South African leg of the World Series in December. If the event is moved from George to PE or Cape Town next year, the organisers will have to attract crowds of 45,000 a day – not just 8,000 – and will therefore need crowd pullers like Gio Aplon and Ryan Kankowski (two former sevens players who have gone on to bigger and better things).
Before I get an e-mail from Prof Tim Noakes about burnout, Treu obviously wouldn't be allowed to pick someone who's played more than 1,400 minutes that season and desperately needs a break. Those who are selected would only play a maximum of 90 minutes of sevens rugby if South Africa reached the final, and sevens is obviously a lot less physical than the 15-man game.
Getting top-quality players (provincial and Boks) involved in the Sevens World Series from the 2011-12 season would make it that much easier for them to be brought into an Olympic Games squad that can realistically expect to win a gold medal in 2016.
Yes, sevens is a lot of fun, but it's time we got serious about it.

Based on the very popular 26" WTB WeirWolf racing tire, WTB has transferred the technology and tread to the 29" world. Originally conceived in 2002, the re-designed WeirWolf tire from WTB is a product of 5 years development between top endurance downhiller Mark Weir and WTB chief designer Mark Slate. The product is a tire with unparalleled grip and predictability at any lean angle. The terraced side knobs feature an advanced progressive design. The tread is soft on initial turn-in and conforms to the terrain. The faster the turn-in the firmer the knobs become. The TCS (tubeless compatible design) offer the benefits of tubeless design without the weight penalty. The WeirWolf is at home on all big mountain rides.

Comments about WTB Weirwolf LT TCS Tubeless 29Er Tire:
I love having this tire up front to take some of the wind out of our rocky trails in central AZ. Contrary to another review in this section, these tires DO mount to Stan's Flow rims, however it's a tight fit. I know, because I'm on my third set of tires on 29'r rims. I've also had these on my 26'r and it's also a great tire...the 26'r goes onto a Flow pretty easy.

Comments about WTB Weirwolf LT TCS Tubeless 29Er Tire:
I have a set of these, but 26", on another one
of my bikes and they are awesome. So, I thought I
would get some for my new 29" hardtail. However,
I just cannot get them to seat properly on the rims.
The bike is a Scott 950, with Syncros XC-49 rims.
No matter what I do, I cannot get them to seat well. I inevitably end up with a bulge near the valve. I know that they are tubeless compatible, but, at present, I am not running tubeless. But, I did check at the manufacturer's website and they said that they were also compatible with using tubes. So, perhaps in the future, if I go tubeless, or I change my rims, these may be useful. But, not at present. It's a pity, as I am very happy with the Weirwolf tires on my other bike.

Comments about WTB Weirwolf LT TCS Tubeless 29Er Tire:
These tires will not fit ZTR Flow 29er rims. Big bummer. A buddy of mine also had the same problem. I contacted WTB and they were super helpful but ultimately the tires can't be used on the Flows. Maybe in the future they be compatible. They look awesome and hopefully I can try Them in the future.

I really love Chicago stand-up comedy. It's not as weird as I remembered, but it's definitely more inviting. Sometimes on a road, my drunk driver comedian friend will ask me, "Whatever happened to this comic?", or "Hey! I remember that guy!". Usually it's in the form of really bad comedians, really weird comedians, or really awesome comedians who just stopped performing.
I'm going to do a little background information so you can experience the brutality of performing and the dedication people had in this scene. I remember there was only a handful of open-mics six or seven years ago, some good, some bad and usually poorly attended. The first time I signed up at Mix (which was at that time called Crush and before that another name I can't seem to remember right now), I was number 50 on the list. The audience, who were also the comedians, dwindled at the end of the night and literally three comedians stared at you doing your threesome with a horse bit. It somehow "burned" and closed a few years ago. That's "too bad". But the memories of the performers were awesome.
Some of my favorite comedians and also whatever is the opposite of favorite comedians, I first saw at the Mix open-mic. At the time, there was no Myspace or Facebook, so you had to pick up a paper or ask around where shows or open-mics are held because websites weren't really keeping up with the closed open-mics and newer open-mics. The Lyons Den closed (look up the Chicago's Reader's article on the Chicago Lyon's Den open-mic for a great historical perspective on Chicago stand-up comedy), so usually people said, check out the Mix.
My God, I've seen more comedians go up only once at this mic never to be seen again. Hundreds upon hundred of aspiring comedians. I've eaten my balls so hard there so many times, I consider it a badge of honor. You could see the persistent people continue to go up and up and eat it and suck it and crap out and fuck up and be embarrassed. [Don't correct my grammar here, leave my intentional fucked up sentences alone, James]. Anyway, it sucked and everyone hated it. But not me, oh no. I enjoyed every minute of it. The weirdness, the bombing, the no audience, and the cigarettes you could still smoke in a bar in this free city of Chicago. It was home to me. This is the place I learned to laugh WITH people, and also to LAUGH AT people, and if you were doing something really great I was awestruck.
I found a bunch of youtube clips that do some people justice and others don't do justice. For those stories, I'll just relate what I remember. This includes all the interesting people from then till now, who I don't see anymore.
Steve Mulcahy: He was just one of the best, and I don't know why he doesn't perform anymore. He always made me laugh, even if there was three people in the audience. Even when a joke didn't work, he'd cock his head to the side and do a smirk like "ok". I think the only way to describe it is he's telling a really great written joke, but delivered in a sarcastic manner as though he saying, that's a great joke that didn't get any reaction, I'll blame you, the audience. It could be a pun or whatever, and he'd just strut like he cured Polio. Last time I saw him it was at Schubas a couple years ago, he did a quick one-liner pun, high fived each and everyone in the audience, then left. He was up there for about 20 seconds. No stand-up clip can really show his greatness. Too bad, but here's something he did.
Shawn Cole: Probably the funniest, craziest person in the world. Never the same set or mind frame. He was just himself. C.J. Sullivan told me a story where at an open-mic, a half-mentally handicapped comedian, not fully, just half handicapped, went up and bombed terribly, with people laughing behind his back. Shawn goes right after him, takes out a piece of paper, goes up to an audience member and says "What the fuck does that say on there?". The lady is confused, shakes her head, I don't know. "Gimme that!" he said, and takes the paper to another audience member. "What does that say?". Audience member again shakes their head, I don't know. He does this to three or four more times. "Gimme that fucking paper!". "It says, this guy has fucking HEART!". Whole place goes nuts. At the end of his set the comedians look at the paper, and surprise, it was completely blank. Everyone is in bedlam, going crazy, and he didn't even plan what he was going to say. Simply awe-inspiring. Last time I saw his was at Schubas where he did his shtick in front of old friends. I heard stories he lives in Montana as a logger now. This clip captures his awesomeness.
Summer Neville: Talk about a comedian with balls or ovaries for the let's make this about men vs. women bullshit that's never going to end. She'd do mostly southside black rooms or more ethnic rooms and she'd kill it every time I saw her. I heard she was studying to be a nun, but decided on stand-up comedy for a moment in her life. I still to this day have never seen an original non-Lampanelli put down comedian better than her and I still wonder what happened to her. Last time I saw her was at the Mix in front of two bitter comedians never to be seen again. She disappeared and probably is leading a happy life. She figured it our before all of us.
Joe the Comedian: When I first heard "the Tom Cruise CRUISE Cruise" bit, I laughed for a minute straight from the delirium from waiting for five hours, It was so dumb. Then he would do his jacking off with "SANDpaper hands….sandpaper hands", then reach into his pants, bust a fake blood packet and pull out blood stained hands. I believe he's a performance artist living in L.A. now. The clip I found shows the brutal nature of the mix. Zero laughs and pure misery.
The bugged out eye man: He'd go up and pretend he was a schoolteacher. "Ok, everyone, can you say this word with me?" the audience would start to repeat his phrase and he'd stop them "wait, wait wait, we don't want to go too fast". He reminded me of those people who can pop out their eyeballs out from those Guinness world record shows on TV. Couldn't find a clip, and don't remember his name. Saw him at Hoghead McDunnas (now Ace Bar) about 3 years ago doing the same four minutes.
Spiderman: This guy would go up in a full Spiderman costume, pretend he was retarded, then yell at the crowd. "I'm funny! why aren't you laughing". Then he'd curl up in the corner for the remainder of the open-mic. And he'd wait hours curled up in a corner til the open-mic was over. Afterwards, he'd crawl outside when the show was done, and you'd see him running down the street in full Spiderman costume to his car. Never revealing his identity. I met him last year, he admitted he was THAT spiderman. He was just a normal dude and seemed to be really embarrassed that I remembered his act. No clip, Peter Parker can only film Spiderman.
Second City hot shots: Often times you'd get a few Sketch or Improv guys to the open-mics, who had no experience whatsoever doing stand-up. There's a few really good sketch and improv comedians that started through sketch/improv, but a lot were really terrible. They would go up with names like "The Shuffler", "Mystery Sauce", or some fake name and then try to improv some jokes. About thirty seconds in, panic would show on their faces, and I'd begin to laugh really hard. The no laughs to every sentence and seeing their face turn beet red would put me in hysterics. It was because there was so much cockiness when they entered the stage then seeing them wearing their best fedora hat pulled over their yes, just being torn to pieces expecting a huge response from drunks. Then they'd leave the stage in their real persona. A sad college drop out from some shit town nobody cares about. No clip.
The Crackhead: A real crackhead goes on stage. He says he's really funny. He wants to be on the list. He might be doing a character. Nope, just a crackhead. The audience starts to laugh to themselves, like they know whats going on. It's just a crackhead on stage and we're drinking beer watching this. The host then has to pull him off stage because he has no idea what the light means (please get off the stage. I had no idea he was a crackhead), and the comedians and audience can't believe we just saw a crackhead. What a respectable profession stand up is… Even crackheads think they can do stand-up. Patton Oswalt describes it best in this story. (About a nodding off junkie named "Doctor Pepper" at an open mic)
I really do miss seeing all these people preform. I could tell the talent was in them, yet many didn't see it that way. It didn't matter to chase a stand-up dream, which I also respect. They just wanted to lead they're own lives. Almost like rock and roll without the celeb status. Forgotten performers being discussed by working comics in a beat up car reminiscing about those good old awful days will always be special and put a smile on my face.

Is there a reason why there aren't scorecards at Vettiner?
Is there a reason why there aren't scorecards at Vettiner?
not really
no official scorecard has ever been generated for the course -
for sure something that can and will be considered
Well I printed off scorecards from DG-Course Review and made copies at work today and was wondering if there would be any issues putting them on the board near the first tee pad? I've noticed how lots of courses now have scorecards and I thought that with Vettiner being such a great course that it needed them.
for sure no issues
thanks matt
Ok. I will hopefully have some out there this weekend. I started with about 60 copies to see how many people will utilize them and can definitely make more.
a pdf on the board would work for me , print them out at home.
It was great to see the folder with them on the board...It helped me with the feet of the hole since a lot of signs are gone...

MOREHEAD CITY — The North Carolina Seafood Festival doesn't want you to wait until October to come back for another bite to eat.
The festival has expanded its newest event and invites area residents to dine out during its Toast to the Coast restaurant week and taste what participating Carteret County restaurants have to offer.
From Sunday through March 9, 17 independently owned restaurants in the Morehead City, Atlantic Beach and Beaufort area will offer a Taste to the Coast menu with three-course dinners at a fixed price of $25, excluding tax and tip. No ticket required. Just stop by any of the restaurants listed on the website at toasttothecoast.org and select from the event menu.
For those who want to get an early taste of what restaurant week has to offer, there is a Bites & Blues kick-off event this evening.
From 5 to 8 p.m., walk the Morehead City waterfront sampling appetizers while being entertained by jazz ensembles along the way.
There are a limited 300 tickets for the event and some still remained as of Friday. Tickets are $25 and available at the Seafood Festival office or any participating restaurant.
Stephanie McIntyre, executive director of the Seafood Festival, said all proceeds from the kick-off event will go to its scholarship funds. The new event will replace the golf tournament, its previous fundraiser.
"We felt this was a great fit to kick off Toast to the Coast week," she said.
The inaugural Toast to the Coast event was held the week following the N.C. Seafood Festival, which is held along the Morehead City waterfront on the first weekend in October.
The idea was to expand on one of the festival's founding goals of bringing people to Carteret County and to boost tourism in the non-summer months.
The plan now is to hold the event twice a year: the week after the festival and each March.
"We chose to do it again in March because it's a slow time for (the restaurants)," McIntyre said.
And with each event they hope to add to the list of restaurants and expand throughout the county.
"Our first one was fantastic and got a lot of people out to the restaurants," she said
In addition to stopping by a restaurant of choice for dinner, enjoy a special designer night being offered by some restaurants or reserve a spot on a culinary tour with food writer and blogger Liz Biro. Tickets can be reserved through the event website, toasttothecoast.org.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) about 1 1/2 years ago. Today my white count is 27.5. I am going to start a five-week treatment of Rituxan. Is it really time to start? From what I have read, it seems early.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The decision to treat patients with CLL is not based on the absolute white blood count. We take into account how rapidly the white blood count rises as well as the effect the CLL has had on the liver, the spleen, the lymph nodes and the other blood counts (hemoglobin and platelets). It would be reasonable to discuss with your doctor what the reasons are for starting treatment at this time.
Oct 12, 2011 - The use of fludarabine plus alemtuzumab in patients with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia results in better survival, but is associated with more adverse events than fludarabine monotherapy, according to a study published online Oct. 11 in

2010 was a very big year for cookbooks. And when I say "big", I don't just mean there were plenty of great cookbooks published this year, but some of them were huge. Ready for Dessert tipped the baker's scale at over 3-pounds, and subsequent books that continued throughout the year tested the limits of my strength, such as Bon Appétit Desserts, which weighs in at a whopping 6-pounds.
But as they say, "Size doesn't matter" and I found myself attracted to a variety of cookbooks of all dimensions. Here are a few cookbooks, baking tomes, and food-related books that were released this year or that I featured on the site in 2010.
You'd never know that Dorie Greenspan only spends one-third of her time in Paris because after reading through this massive collection of three hundred fabulous recipes, she nails the city and the food, including stories and recipes from the restaurants, markets, and most endearingly, her stable of Parisian friends—which makes mine look like the unwashed masses. Her moist French Apple Cake was enjoyed from breakfast around here, and eating cake for breakfast probably isn't very French, but tant pis.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Legion Field (72,000) -- Birmingham, Alabama. Television: None. Home Record: Memphis 2-3, UAB 2-3. Away Record: Memphis 0-5, UAB 1-4. Neutral Record: Memphis 0-0, UAB 0-0. Conference Record: Memphis 2-4, UAB 2-4. Series Record: UAB leads, 10-4.
GAME NOTES: Memphis gear up for a trip to Legion Field for a battle with the UAB Blazers for the Tigers' final Conference USA road game.
Memphis doubled its win total and improved its overall record to 2-8 last week by defeating Tulane, 37-33, at home. The victory ended a four-game losing slide and gave Justin Fuente the second win of his young head coaching career. The Tigers are departing the Conference USA to the Big East after this season.
Although it was not quite as impressive an upset as last season's win over Southern Miss, UAB delivered another shocker in 2012 with a 38-31 victory over Marshall. The Blazers went into their matchup with the Thundering Herd after a 27-19 win over Southern Miss which snapped a three-game losing streak. Coach Garrick McGee is also in his rookie campaign in charge of the program and has a 3-7 record thus far.
This will the 15th meeting between these schools in history. UAB enters with three-straight wins and a 10-4 series lead over the Tigers. The Blazers escaped Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium with a 41-35 win last season.
Memphis is normally reliant on its rushing attack to move the ball. Therefore it was surprising the Tigers managed to win last week after gaining only 110 yards on 44 attempts versus Tulane. Brandon Hayes (51 yards, 16 carries) and Jai Steib (31 yards, TD, 15 carries) shared the rushing responsibilities in the victory.
Jacob Karam stepped up his play to elevate the Tigers' passing attack, which ranks second to last in the conference. Karam completed 14-of-18 attempts for 270 yards and two touchdowns with one interception versus Tulane. Karam is considered an ideal game manager, but the Tigers had a playmaker in the pocket last week.
The passing game is reliant on the efforts of receivers Keiwone Malone and Marcus Rucker. Malone has caught a team-high 42 passes for 434 yards and two scores, while Rucker has 41 catches for a team-high 487 yards and a three TDs.
The Tigers' defense is coming off a strong showing against the Green Wave. It held Tulane to 291 yards of total offense and picked off Ryan Griffin four times in the contest. The only other opponent Memphis managed to hold under 350 yards of total offense prior to Tulane was Rice (221), which is the only other team it has defeated. The Tigers' opposition is averaging 33 ppg.
Sophomore linebacker Charles Harris is the team-leader in tackles with 70. Martin Ifedi (9.5 tackles for loss, seven sacks), Tank Jakes (seven tackles for loss), and Johnnie Farms (8.5 tackles for loss) have been effective in stopping opposing ball carriers in the backfield.
UAB is evolving into the most dangerous offensive team in the C-USA with Darrin Reaves leading the charge. The sophomore tailback has racked up 573 yards in his last three games (191 average). Reeves has also rushed for seven touchdowns during that span. The Blazers have amassed more than 200 yards in three straight games.
Freshman Austin Brown seems to be the quarterback of the future in Birmingham, but he is still a work in progress. The rookie completed 20-of-34 attempts for 197 yards with two TDs and three interceptions versus MU last week. Brown has thrown 14 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, while completing 166-of-286 of his passes for 2,283 yards.
Brown has a pair of reliable targets in Nick Adams and Jackie Williams. Adams has been on fire ever since Brown took over the starting QB duties and has 37 catches for 582 yards and one score on the season. Williams has made a reception in all 33 games he has played for UAB. The junior wideout has reeled in 41 passes for a team-leading total of 700 yards and one touchdown.
The UAB defense has been lit up for 432.1 yards per game this season which ranks seventh in the defensively weak C-USA and 88th in the FBS. The Blazers' defensive unit is coming off of its best outing of the season, as it held Marshall to 337 total yards, nearly 200 below the Thundering Herd's average.
UAB does have one of the most active defenders in the nation on its roster in Marvin Burdette, who is tied for the FBS lead with 132 total tackles this season. Burdette also has a team-high 9.5 tackles for loss and two sacks. In the secondary, Lamarcus Farmer has been effective with seven pass breakups and Lamar Johnson has two interceptions.
UAB is a much tougher opponent for Memphis than Tulane was a week ago. Reaves will continue to make his way towards all-conference honors as he pushes the Blazers past Memphis.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Built to dominate the enemy in combat, the Army's hulking Abrams tank is proving equally hard to beat in a budget battle.
Lawmakers from both parties have devoted nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer money over the past two years to build improved versions of the 70-ton Abrams.
But senior Army officials have said repeatedly, "No thanks."
It's the inverse of the federal budget world these days, in which automatic spending cuts are leaving sought-after pet programs struggling or unpaid altogether. Republicans and Democrats for years have fought so bitterly that lawmaking in
Yet in the case of the Abrams tank, there's a bipartisan push to spend an extra $436 million on a weapon the experts explicitly say is not needed.
"If we had our choice, we would use that money in a different way," Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's chief of staff, told The Associated Press this past week.
Why are the tank dollars still flowing? Politics.
Keeping the Abrams production line rolling protects businesses and good paying jobs in congressional districts where the tank's many suppliers are located.
If there's a home of the Abrams, it's politically important
"The one area where we are supposed to spend taxpayer money is in defense of the country," said
The Abrams dilemma underscores the challenge that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel faces as he seeks to purge programs that the military considers unnecessary or too expensive in order to ensure there's enough money for essential operations, training and equipment.
Hagel, a former Republican senator from
Federal budgets are always peppered with money for pet projects. What sets the Abrams example apart is the certainty of the Army's position.
Sean Kennedy, director of research for the nonpartisan Citizens Against Government Waste, said Congress should listen when one of the military services says no to more equipment.
"When an institution as risk averse as the Defense Department says they have enough tanks, we can probably believe them," Kennedy said.
Congressional backers of the Abrams upgrades view the vast network of companies, many of them small businesses, that manufacture the tanks' materials and parts as a critical asset that has to be preserved. The money, they say, is a modest investment that will keep important tooling and manufacturing skills from being lost if the Abrams line were to be shut down.
The plant is
Jordan, a House conservative leader who has pushed for deep reductions in federal spending, supported the automatic cuts known as the sequester that require $42 billion to be shaved from the Pentagon's budget by the end of September. The military also has to absorb a $487 billion reduction in defense spending over the next 10 years, as required by the Budget Control Act passed in 2011.
Still, said
"Look, (the plant) is in the 4th Congressional District and my job is to represent the 4th Congressional District, so I understand that," he said. "But the fact remains, if it was not in the best interests of the national defense for the
The tanks that Congress is requiring the Army to buy aren't brand new. Earlier models are being outfitted with a sophisticated suite of electronics that gives the vehicles better microprocessors, color flat panel displays, a more capable communications system, and other improvements. The upgraded tanks cost about $7.5 million each, according to the Army.
Out of a fleet of nearly 2,400 tanks, roughly two-thirds are the improved versions, which the Army refers to with a moniker that befits their heft: the M1A2SEPv2, and service officials said they have plenty of them. "The Army is on record saying we do not require any additional M1A2s," Davis Welch, deputy director of the Army budget office, said this month.
The tank fleet, on average, is less than 3 years old. The Abrams is named after Gen. Creighton Abrams, one of the top tank commanders during World War II and a former Army chief of staff.
The Army's plan was to stop buying tanks until 2017, when production of a newly designed Abrams would begin. Orders for Abrams tanks from
This pause in tank production for the
The first editions of the Abrams tank were fielded in the early 1980s. Over the decades, the Abrams supply chain has become embedded in communities across the country.
General Dynamics estimated in 2011 that there were more than 560 subcontractors throughout the country involved in the Abrams program and that they employed as many as 18,000 people. More than 40 of the companies are in
A letter signed by 173 Democratic and Republican members of the House last year and sent to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta demonstrated the depth of bipartisan support for the Abrams program on Capitol Hill.

Portman, who served as President George W. Bush's budget director before being elected to the Senate, said allowing the line to wither and close would create a financial mess.
"People can't sit around for three years on unemployment insurance and wait for the government to come back," Portman said. "That supply chain is going to be much more costly and much more inefficient to create if you mothball the plant."
Pete Keating, a General Dynamics spokesman, said the money from Congress is allowing for a stable base of production for the Army, which receives about four tanks a month. With the line open,

With just a week left before my move, things have gotten rather frantic around here. I won't bore you with stories about delays, budget overruns, a bruised eardrum from someone yelling in my ear when I'm standing just a foot away, and so on, but I can now say with confidence that I understand why there are so many pills in the medicine cabinets across France. Chez David has become a mini Vallé des poupées (Valley of the Dolls), with most of my efforts right now concentrating on trying to obtain a minimum of three hours of solid sleep per night. And, of course, making sure blog posts don't have a single typo in them.
Needless to say, visitors can forget my requests for bringing over corn tortillas or dried cranberries – I need a reload on ExcedrinPM. What I thought would be a relatively straightforward project has become a lesson in how much patience and good humor are left in me. I made the grave error of stepping in freshly poured cement, which has occurred only once during my 53 years on this earth, but someone on the job has not let me forget it and has mentioned it at least seven times since I did it. And it was only yesterday.

On-Demand Webinars
We have many informative webinars available for you to view at your convenience. These range in topics from Microsoft Dynamics to hiring the right talent to winning a government contract. Check out all of our free on-demand webinars.
According to a recent report by the ADP Research Institute, "one-third of both mid-size and large businesses believe employees [simply] missing work reduces profitability." In a time where just showing up can change your entire business practices, where does your bottom line lie? With this webinar, we go over the importance of understanding the actual costs of doing business, the best ways to measure them, and how they can change the way your business runs for the better.
In this webinar, you can expect to learn:
- The importance of project cost accounting
- How time is the biggest capital expense for most organizations
- How Journyx can help companies to be more efficient and profitable

- Get access to contract information in seconds
With COMS you can standardize your Federal Government contract processes and leave spreadsheets behind.
This webinar is sponsored by Journyx. Journyx is web-based time, expense and resource tracking software. Labor is often the highest expense in government contracts; therefore a robust labor management system is a requirement for any contractor that serves the U.S. Government. Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) compliance can be met only through detailed labor and cost center tracking. Journyx serves many government customers and gives them the peace of mind that their data is compliant.
Presented by Vincent Apesa, President of Broadleaf Inc., and hosted by Brian Maxin, Director of Sales, Journyx.

JON CARDINELLI writes that backing experimental selections at Twickenham would have been better than sending the first-stringers out to avenge wounded pride.
The Boks broke a 10-year losing streak in Dublin, a victory that was important in the World Cup context. They picked up more psychological points in Cardiff the very next week. It wasn't pretty, but the Bok had struck two big blows before a defining 2011 season.
Then Scotland brought them to earth. Many people lamented the end of a Grand Slam opportunity when in the greater scheme of things, the Grand Slam should never have been as important as building towards the World Cup.
Last Saturday's game was a waste with Peter de Villiers neglecting to back more fringe players in a starting capacity. Nothing was learned in terms of how the second-stringers could handle the starting responsibilities. Those lessons would have been worth the risk of defeat.
But De Villiers blew that opportunity, and failed in his own personal ambition to stay on course for a career-saving Grand Slam. He's blown another opportunity ahead of this Saturday, picking his strongest side yet again, as a win against England could be what keeps him in the job.
If the Boks beat England, they will head back to South Africa with a scorecard that reads three Test wins from four. It may be considered a pass in the results department, but when it comes to developing new and exciting talent before a World Cup year, the head coach and the selectors have failed.
Lwazi Mvovo has been rushed into the Bok starting side due to Bryan Habana's tour-ending injury, and wouldn't be starting if Habana was fit. Pat Lambie has been limited to three second-half cameos on this tour, while Francois Hougaard has also been used erratically.
Willem Alberts has produced two powerful bench performances that suggest he may be South Africa's new super-sub in 2011, but he deserved a start in the Scotland fixture. Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies has done nothing but carry tackle bags, and would have been better served conditioning for an important Super Rugby tournament.
That the Boks would embark on a Grand Slam tour a year before the World Cup is a bungle at administrative level. No team should be expected to send full-strength squads to the north after a full year of rugby, especially just 11 months before the all-important tournament. This should be a time for testing new combinations and blooding new players.
Somehow this tour has become more about results and preserving De Villiers's job rather than developing and strengthening new combinations. De Villiers missed another chance to try something different when he named his match 22 on Tuesday. He listed conditions as an explanation, but why bring the other players to the northern hemisphere if you're not going to trust them to deal with the weather? Sending them on in difficult conditions midway through the second half doesn't help their development or the synergy of the team, and it's this kind of mismanagement and lack of common sense that's characterised a disappointing tour.
Lambie should have been entrusted with a starting opportunity from the outset. If the Boks were really adamant about picking up the psychological points against World Cup opponents Ireland and Wales, then you could understand the decision to stick with Morne Steyn at No 10 as well as several other safe selections. But there was no sense in sending the seniors out against Scotland.
There's even less reason to send them out against England. The Poms are hitting some form, and there's a good chance a full-strength Bok side could come short yet again. A loss at Twickenham for the Boks' first-choice team would render the tour a failure, as nothing new would have been learned, and two big defeats would have been suffered. But if De Villiers backed more youngsters in this final fixture and they performed (or alternatively, fared poorly) then he would know what he had in those players.
If there's an argument that it's unfair to ask players like Lambie and Jantjies to play now, it calls into question why De Villiers selected them to tour in the first place. Most of the fringe players will get a chance against the Barbarians on 4 December, but this fixture cannot be used to gauge a player's aptitude for Test rugby.

The New York Times recently reported that although the rate of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. is at a 40-year low, the number of children entering unlawfully and alone is surging, largely because of drug-fueled violence in Central America, particularly Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. "One in 13 people caught by the Border Patrol last fiscal year were under 18. Seventeen percent of them were 13 or younger. Close to 14,000 minors, twice as many as the previous year, were placed in federal custody. (This figure doesn�t include an equal number of Mexican children who were quickly deported.)" Many of these children could qualify for asylum or for other status that would allow them to stay in the U.S., but less than 10 percent of kids who seek to remain in the U.S. win their cases. Those with legal representation are 9 times as likely to win, but most of these children have no lawyer. Learn more about this problem from an Immigration attorney with particular expertise in immigration and the family, and an anthropologist who studies migrant youth, especially from Guatemala.

chances might be slim on finding someone here that might help us, but is anyone here paying any attention? I had hoped to see some video of Christian Eyenga actually shooting the ball, but I didn't have much luck....the guy can jump out of the building though....

What's the status with Jrue Holiday? They offer yet?
D League pickups would probably be a better option to explore.
The only guy I would consider off waivers is Terrence Williams. He does have some attitude problems, but incredibly athletic, a really good defender, and can create for himself.

I finally finished my Karazhan key and joined my guild for a Kara run last night.
About the keying processing, I really like Black Morass. It's an inventive and fun instance. It is not, however, an instance that you can really do with a random pick-up group. It's ideal for a group of five friends to just go and practice, to fine-tune their strategy until they are successful. But when you are doing Black Morass in a pickup group, people leave your group after one try, new people join, it's just a big pain.
Anyways, back to Kara. It was good being back in a raid. I've really missed hitting mobs, and was actually very tired of healbotting. I think my Holy spec is a little extreme though, and I'm switching to a Holy/Protection mixture.
I'm seriously considering a Retribution spec, but my warriors love Kings, and I haven't really been able to make a Retribution build that incorporates Kings and enough healing to satisfy me. Given that I'm often the only paladin in a 10-man, having Kings is a necessity. I may go Retribution when we start trying the 25-mans, though.
Karazhan itself is a pretty nice instance, so far. I haven't seen very much of it. We killed Attumen the Huntsmen, and then wiped a lot on Moroes. Good times. The instance itself is an interesting place, less like a dungeon, and more like an actual house (albeit a very big house).

If you're the only paladin in the raid, why is bok a necessity? What class would rather have that than might/wis/salv?
Warlocks, I guess. But unless you have a whole lot of warlocks, is it really worth gimping your spec?
Tanks might like it if you're not healing, but if you're a paladin, you'll be healing. Don't kid yourself!
- 5:33 PM, March 14, 2007
- GSH said...
The tanks will have Kings.
I won't be the only healer, so Kings seems like a much better choice than Light.
Sure Light boosts my healing, but Kings helps out the druid and the priest.
- 8:33 PM, March 14, 2007
- Chronic said...
Guess it makes sense. I'm used to being MH, and light is a big chunk of +heal. And in a 10-man, I guess you have to get used to being the only paladin :(
- 11:25 PM, March 14, 2007
- GSH said...
Yeah, if it was a 5-man, and I'm main healing, Light goes on, no question.
But when you're one of three healers, Kings becomes a better choice.

'There's no such thing as enough baseball' for Jackson's Avalos
Ian Terry / The Herald
Aaron Avalos (center) laughs with his Baden Baseball Club teammates in the dugout during a Seattle Premier League game at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue earlier this month.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Shortstop Aaron Avalos is a senior-to-be at Jackson High School.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Aaron Avalos is also a running back/linebacker on Jackson�s football team.
Not Aaron Avalos.
Avalos, a senior-to-be who plays baseball for Jackson High School — and for the Baden Baseball Club in the summer — is in his fifth-consecutive month of playing baseball.
And, he's excited to keep going.
"It's been busy," Avalos said. "It's been really fun. It's busy every day but it keeps me doing something. For me, it's always enjoyable, especially when you love the game. There's no such thing as enough baseball."
A shortstop for the Timberwolves, Avalos helped Jackson to a 12-10 record in his junior campaign. He was named to the All-Wesco 4A South first team as an infielder before starting his summer league with Baden, which finishes its season in early August.
Playing baseball has always been a preferred activity for Avalos. He hasn't just been playing the sport for five months.
He's been playing it for almost 14 years.
"I've been playing since I was 3 years old," Avalos said. "My dad gave me a baseball and told me when I was young I would always hold a baseball or find something (to use as a) bat. I couldn't stay away from the game."
The trend has continued and expanded into the summer after his junior year of high school.
The summer league allows a player to develop their skillset, playing as many as 50-60 games over the course of the season, according to Jackson head coach Kirk Nicholson. The Baden team has played 61 contests since they began on May 22nd and have six left before the conclusion of the season on Aug. 3 at the Josh Dickerson Invitational Championship at Rainier Beach High School in Seattle.
"The truth is the more you play baseball the better you get at it," Nicholson said. "Summer ball is truly just playing. There's less practicing. When you play 50-60 more games you're going to see that many more curveballs. You're going to get used to hitting it."
Said Avalos: "My batting will improve. Everything from the mental part of the game, to the physical part of the game, will improve."
Nicholson said that about 34 of the 36 players in the Jackson baseball program play on summer teams. He believes one of the biggest differences — besides the high level of play — is the weather.
"High school baseball is 20 games in bad weather," Nicholson said with a laugh. "We've got baseball weather right now."
Avalos, a three-year starter for Jackson, said the other big difference is the level of competition.
"The big difference is really the competitiveness," Avalos said. "The competition gets better as you get older. The pitchers are good. The hitters are really good. It's a little bit different from high school but I like it."
Nicholson thinks that unlike some other sports, such as football, baseball is a game that you can play every day for an extended amount of time — even a five-month span.
"You're playing a fun game. It's not like football where you're getting physically beat up and knocked around," Nicholson said. "Who doesn't want to pick up a stick and hit?"
Another advantage of the long summer season is players aren't impacted as much if they fall into a slump. While a five-game dip in the high school season could be the difference between a league title or missing the district tournament, in the summer there's still plenty of time to right the ship.
"It's more like pro baseball. One month of bad baseball doesn't make you a bad team or a bad player," Nicholson said. "In high school baseball, you have a bad five games, that's a fourth of your season."
Additionally, the summer leagues are a good time to get noticed by scouts. Nicholson said that there are usually more scouts at summer games than during the high school season because college programs aren't playing.
It can add stress, Avalos said, seeing scouts from colleges at the games.
"It's fun, but you always want to keep up your game all the time. You don't know who's watching," said Avalos, who hopes to play in college. "You just ignore everyone around you and focus on the game."
The latest www.baseballnorthwest.com poll had Avalos ranked at No. 42 in its Class of 2015 Washington Top Prospect List. The shortstop's high school coach believes he'll do enough to get noticed.
"You see a couple more guys in the stands that you want to impress," Nicholson said. "This is the time that they watch. He's good enough to play at the next level."
Eventually, baseball will finally end for Avalos. High school football practices start on Aug. 20 and Avalos will switch from a middle infielder into a running back and linebacker for the Timberwolves.
While many of Jackson's football players have spent time this summer in the weight room, Avalos' baseball schedule has prevented him from participating in the team's workout program.
But Timberwolves head football coach Joel Vincent isn't too concerned about Avalos.
"I don't think it really affects him much," Vincent said. "He's a really smart kid. He told me, 'Coach, I'm really busy all summer with baseball, but come Aug. 20th I'm all yours.'
"He's not one that we worry about."

text: I have went through every team who would be possibly interested and honestly not many. Go yourself and look at every team and the PG situation on that team. We have a really good young PG in Vasquez who brings great leadership on a good deal. He fits well alongside Eliis. I have heard rumors hornets wanted Jennings last year. I could see them pulling the trigger on a Vasquez and Aminu deal added maybe a future draft pick and a player from them or whatever it takes, makes both teams happy. I see Hornets as best team for Jennings and his future plus we can and will pay him. No big market teams that don't have a pg can really afford him at all, just take a look yourself. No small market presents same opportunity with management, coaching, facilities, and rebrand.
