Grey College brushed aside the challenge of Grey High in Port Elizabeth to win 36-8.
The visitors led 10-3 at half-time.
Replacement flyhalf Johan Goosen had a great game for the Bloem boys, kicking well tactically and making devastating blindside breaks, while lock Gerhard Olivier and flank Murray Bondesio were the standouts in the pack.
Flank David Clarke and lock Cole van Jaarsveldt excelled for the hosts.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by frontrowjess Perfect basketball bag I bought this duffle bag for my daughter for Chistmas. This bag is a good size to get her to and from basketball practice. But it is really works great for long tournament days. The shoe pocket is ventilated and there is an insulated pocket for wet items or for Gatorades & a cold pack. The main compartment is roomy and has a smaller pocket to keep things like earbuds and gum within easy reach. January 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by JG1 Big Bag This bag has a TON of room and I like the separate compartment that is insulated for your cold drinks and lined so it doesn't sweat or leak into the main part of the bag.Like the padded shoulder strap for comfort on your shoulder.Little pricey so look for coupon like I did before purchase. November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mcfly25 Great bag for all your sports' needs A good size to hold everything you need for the gym, it has a thermo compartment that i use to hold 3 drink bottles plus 2 ice packs. It stays cool for quite some time. Although it does way down the bag to one side. Wet/dry compartment that i use for shoes or after workout clothes/accessories. Compartment has 2 vent holes for breath-ability! Also the compartment is large enough for me snugly fit 2 pairs of shoes. I highly recommend this bag. You get what you pay for! February 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ethan But this! Best duffel bag I have ever owned in the nike duffel bag line up. Roomie, very durable. Pockets everywhere. It is a little pricey but well worth the money! July 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mr. O This product has met my needs. I am finding my duffle bag very convenient for going to the gym. It is versatile enough for my use when touring, especailly as a carry-on bag when flying. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cid So far it is a great duffel bag So far it looks dependable, I like the fact it has a mini cooler on the side where I can put most of my drinks. I am a personal trainer so it will be tested everyday. June 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tool time Good quality While there are other bags out there in this price range like Swiss this is much more athletic looking and has a good amount of space. Also takes up very little space when empty. My kid used it for a three day trip to Florida and said it had plenty of room. He also likes sports and of course the nike logo is considered cool. February 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Baseball Nike baseball game Paid a lot of money for this Nike bag and the inside ripped within 2 weeks. Returning it today. March 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Hopeful 51+ Not up to standard for Nike I purchased this bag from the website and when it came there was no strap with it. Two days later one of the zipper handles, on one of the main compartments, fell off and was never seen again. I would expect that to happen if I had paid $25 for the bag but it was $75. Luckily the bag was replaced. It was such an inconvenience and took way more time than the 2 days shipping I chose by using Pay Pal. Hopefully the new bag will be a better quality...at least it has a strap. November 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Becky Great style and features Gave as a gift they loved it.The size was just right. All the compartments and features were what made the bag attractive. Nike made a bag that seemed to be durable and doesn't look like everyone else bag January 3, 2013

Prom Dresses
prom dresses are main selection of Jovani collections. The unique design and excellent craftsmanship on these gowns make them comparable to none. Silhouettes and necklines vary as much as the beautiful girls wearing them on their special night. From halter mermaids, strapless ball gowns, sweetheart A-lines, to even the trendiest two-pieces, Jovani has it all. In colors that range from soft pastels like ivories, pinks, and blues to vibrant hues like royals, emeralds, and lemon yellows, it is difficult to pick just one of these magnificent dresses.
With such an expansive collection of dresses, every girl is bound to find the dress that makes even her wildest fantasies come to life. For the girl that was born to stand out we have unique prom dresses with funky prints and sexy cutouts. For the sweet and sassy feminine girl we have gowns with layers of tulle and crystal encrusted details. For the stylish and elegant girl we have breathtaking sleek jersey dresses with minimal embellishments that enhance the figure with open backs, plunging necklines, and sultry slits. No matter your personality, we have a dress for you!
Prom 2015 Trends
Jovani is always one to "one up" themselves and this years PROM 2015 collection has done just that. The new use of floral patterns for evening wear is unexpected, yet adds instant glamour to our collection. The design director, Julie Durocher, spent several months searching for patterns that were unique, yet sophisticated enough to be turned into one-of-a -kind designer gowns. The process that went into finding these patterns was tedious as the first version of a design is not always exactly what we are seeking. Often times, the first version of a pattern acts as a jumping off point to create the perfect pattern that later turns into a dress. The designer will often find a color, a texture, or a shape that inspires her, and use it to help her recreate a pattern that will better suit JOVANI and all of our cliental. The more work the design team does with patterns, the more creative and unique the gowns have become. Off shoulder, open back, irregular shaped trains have become PROM 2015's signatures and the patterns are just what take the more ordinary into the JOVANI extraordinary. This year's collection also includes a wide variety of Mikado dresses in an extensive assortment of colors. The fuller bottoms create feminine illusions that flatter a wider variety of body types. The fabric is an expensive blend of a thicker silk that is better for cooler- weathered events. The new fabric has helped our unique collection expand from the usual jersey, taffeta, and lace that we often design with, into a unique array of different JOVANI has used this fabric in an exciting way that has reinvented its existence and reestablished its opportunity in the market. While Jovani is expanding into new territory with the fabric choices, they have not abandoned the glitz and glam that made them famous. The Prom 2015 collection is filled with beads, studs, crystals, rhinestones and beautifully embellished appliques. Combined with the beautiful new patterns and fabrics, Jovani has created a new section of prom dresses. Our designer will soon visit India to further investigate the process of creating intricate embellishments and her research will help to better the company's ability to include authentic stones.
Prom Dresses
When you look around our site you will instantly be inundated by the terrific assortment of prom dresses we have. Many of our dresses may have already been featured in your prom night dreams! To help you narrow down the number of garments on your wish list, think about which dress really shows of your best assets.
For those of you with a tiny waist, consider our open mid-drift prom dresses. Not many girls are able to pull them off, so take advantage of the shape of your silhouette; you will definitely stand out on the dance floor.
Those of you with tall, lean legs; you have a larger collection to choose from. For the more conservative gal, we have our long dresses with a sexy slit up the side. These enable your date to sneak a peek at one of your glorious gams. For the selective party girl, we have our short, sassy dresses that will show off your luxurious limbs in incredible style!
The word prom is short for promenade, or more accurately descried as the formal, introductory parading of guests at a party. This traditional "diner dance" can be traced back to the simple co-ed banquets that 19th century American universities held for each year's graduating class. Over time, Prom has grown into much more than a simple dance; it has given companies opportunity to create an entire industry. Jovani did not begin as a prom dress designer, but as eras have passed, our prom dresses have come to be what we are known for. Delicate lace and rhinestone ensembles, and jersey low cut gown have become what Jovani is known for. Social media has helped us to propel images and critiques of our gowns, displaying them, and attracting a larger audience. However, the prom industry is not just about dresses. Hairstylists, makeup artists, shoe designers, manicurists and florists play a large role in the business as well. Without them, Jovani would not be able to transform the young ladies into "prom queens," and so we are the first to admit and understand that while the dress is extremely important, it only plays a small role in the finances invested into the special night. The pressure that comes with the whole day, and finding a date has often been linked to some stress and challenge in teens. Jovani strives to make "finding the perfect dress" and exciting, non-threatening part of the process—thus making the company so successful. We have experienced first hand the "dressing room meltdowns," and we have now discovered that finding the perfect dress is a mission we make possible.
Creating these designer dresses is not easy. For a majority of the year the design team does tremendous amounts of trend research in order to find what styles young girls would be more inclined to purchase. This research often stems from following popular red carpet looks, to attending galas and events young women will also be attending. Publications like Seventeen Magazine and Teen Vogue also assist in uncovering the hottest trends of the year. Their research helps aid our designs, bringing the fashion industry together and continuing the ever evolving cycle that is a "trend." Colors, fabrics, and bodice styles change so frequently that it is essential to stay on top of what is trending. The industry is competitive, forcing Jovani to stay on top of their game and produce not only what will physically flatter teenage girls, but creating dresses that they can afford. During pre-prom parties, teens gather in one-selected friends often-extravagant backyard to take pictures and quickly post online. Whether it is for popularity, or simply to share these young girls don't realize their impact on the industry. Their posed pictures significantly effect the designer's upcoming seasons. While creativity is a key component of designing, following trends and what exactly buyers are looking for is equally as important. Without the perspective and perception of our young customers, Jovani would not have been able to transform itself into one the number one main prom designers in America.Jovani hosted a competition for students to enter a chance to win a performance by Fifth Harmony at their Prom. These girls are all about girl power and a fun and positive outlook. They are the kind of women who are ideal role models for young girls worldwide, which is why Jovani thought they would be perfect to perform at your Prom. The lucky students at Pathways Academy of Technology and Design in Connecticut won the Prom contest. Not only did Fifth Harmony perform but they also had a meet and greet with the students. Jovani put the cherry on top by gifting the school a photo booth for the night, making sure no memories were forgotten. Since we believe Prom is a joyous event that every high school student should experience, we team up with Operation Prom to make this a possibility. Operation Prom is an organization that helps high school students from across the US attend their Prom in style at little to no cost. This ensures that no student is missing out on the biggest night of High School because of monetary issues. Every high school student deserves to feel amazing at their senior Prom and we are happy to be a part of making what seems impossible to some, everything they wanted and more for their special day.

TNT has pulled the plug on their medical drama, HawthoRNe. The Jada Pinkett Smith TV series has been cancelled after three seasons on the air.
The cancellation news comes following the end of the third season a couple weeks ago. Despite having a strong start in its freshman year, HawthoRNe's ratings have declined over the past two seasons.
Year three ended up averaging a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.51 million viewers, a loss of 22% and 19% when compared to season two. Year two had averaged a 0.9 in the demo and 3.09 million, a decline of 18% and 9% from season one.
When compared to TNT's other summer shows, season three HawthoRNe had one of the cable channel's smallest audiences. Only already-cancelled Men of a Certain Age had worse numbers.
In a statement, TNT said, "TNT has decided not to order a fourth season of Hawthorne. TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved in Hawthorne. The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show's talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with Hawthorne nothing but the best."
What do you think? Are you sorry that HawthoRNe has been cancelled? Why do you think people stopped watching? What would you liked to have seen happen in season four?

Just purchased this unit for my back issues; does a great job relaxing tired muscles and relieving lower back problems. The heat option is outstanding. I am very pleased with product, plus it is portable as it can be used while staying in motels, etc. Well worth the price.

I recently purchased this back massager and I will be taking it back as soon as possible. The design of this massager makes for a very uncomfortable massage experience. After sitting in it for about 10 minutes, hoping that I would eventually relax and it would become more enjoyable, I finally turned it off and quickly put it back in the package. Two days later, my back is sore to the touch and feels bruised. Not happy with this massager.

we just purchased this item for me, Myself, being in my early 50's, wondering, out loud, mind you," What in the am I going to do to relieve
my pains in my back".!, So we decided to get this machine, and give it a go. For the money and ease of getting this shipped right to the front door as well. My lower quadrant is relieved and then some. My pains have almost vanished as if I ever had this arthritis in and up and down my spine. Really, there is not much you can do hope to find the best massager around, and now I have my very own. It feels like real hands, to me. Morning, noon and night. The pain is gone forever, I think... because I would NEVER be without one of these items as long as Homedics is here.!
I do feel that my overall well being is of better quality as well.! My stress level
went way down as well.
Thank you so much Homedics.

Best money can buy. Suffering from lower back pain for many years and this massage pad does pure miracle to my back. Worth it every penny and then some. I try every vibrating massager up there and it doesn't do anything for me, then I try this one which is totally different then the vibrate one, and again, it does miracles to my back pain. Every person with a back pain problems should have one of this machine in their house.

I purchased this product with rewards points on USAA. I could not have given myself a better present than this for Christmas. It is the closest you will get to a real massage! I only get deep tissue massages, and this product does exactly what it says it does. I have really seen a change in my posture, irritability, and (migraine & sinus) headaches have not been an issue since I started using the product. My boyfriend is happy he doesn't have to rub my back constantly anymore ;)!! I agree with the comments below it is addicting and feels amazing. You may be sore the first time you use it but then your muscles get used to it. If you carry lots of tension in your back, I highly recommend this product. It is easy to use, store, and is lightweight. It has eased my stress and I dont have to go to a pricey spa to get a massage anymore!

I suffer from migraines from muscle tension. I have a bad muscle that runs up and down my back. I have had it for 13 yrs now. Just recently this year, I was told of the type of migraines I have and etc. I went to Sam's with a friend and saw this massager. I am not one to spend money as so, but I am glad I did. At first the kneading hurt. But OMG, after the second day using it, it felt so good. The heat is an adding feature that I love. Also the ability to program it on one spot is really great. I let it set on the back of my head and the upper part of my shoulder. It works wonders.
- -Love it
December 27, 2013
Bought it for myself as an early Christmas present. I've used it every night for several weeks. I love it. I look forward to the evening when I come home and can use it. Feels so good it's addictive.

I just recieved this back massager and sat down and ordered another one>> This is the BEST money I have ever spent on a back massager.. It will do the trick to reach everywhere that you are hurting. It is very powerful and you can program it to the place that is really sore. Heat is a nice feature. If you are serious about buying something to relive discomfort in your back you will not be dissapointed and thats my promise to you!!! And no simple vibrating that never did anything for me!!!

Water left from several weeks of rainfall is creating a breeding paradise for mosquitoes.
All they need is a couple of inches of standing water to lay eggs in, said Don Grant, owner of Grant Exterminating Co. in Gastonia.
Click HERE to find out how to fool mosquitoes
He doesn't think Gaston County has yet seen the full effects of the situation.
But be forewarned, Grant expects the blood-sucking pests to strike with a vengeance.
As mosquito eggs laid in recently-fallen rainwater have time to develop, he expects to receive more calls from homeowners irritated with flying blood suckers.
"I think people are going to start seeing them emerge within the next couple of weeks," he said.
So far, he said the local mosquito situation is typical for the summertime, and comparable to the past few years.
He finds the insects living under plant leaves, in high grass, clogged gutters, and around flower pots.
"Aself-watering flower pot where the water holds in the bottom and absorbs into the soil makes a great place for mosquitoes to breed," he said.
He's also come across mosquito eggs in bird baths, fountains in yards, barrels, and even low spots in yards where water collects.
A step toward the solution is getting rid of the items that hold water outside.
But for residents ready to try pesticides, his company mists a chemical outdoors intended to control mosquitoes for three or four weeks.
He said it costs about $50 to service a typical yard. Customers can choose to have exterminators return regularly.
Temporary fix
Spraying yards for mosquitoes is only a temporary fix to the problem of mosquito infestation, said Phil Nixon, president of Nixon Exterminating Inc. in Gastonia.
He recommends residents search their yards for standing water and eliminate the source of mosquito breeding.
Mosquito control service is not a priority for his business. But he's been out on a few calls over the years to find where mosquitoes are breeding in local lawns.
A customer once complained of mosquitoes but could not find where they came from.
He found a barrel with standing water in the bottom and peeked inside. The insects frantically darted toward him, fleeing the water.
Mosquito control sprays are available in stores and through websites. Nixon said there is an environmentally-safe tablet about the size of a silver dollar that he has used in the past. It's supposed to kill mosquito larvae in standing water.
"If you spray the air, you'll kill them for a half a day or a day," he said. "If you don't eliminate the source, which is standing water, they're going to come right back."

Akira Takizawa wakes up naked outside the White House with no memories. He's got a gun in one hand and a cell phone in the other, and he doesn't know if he's a good guy or one of the worst. He doesn't remember that the phone gives him instant access to ten billion yen and a woman who can make his most outlandish requests a reality. He doesn't recall his connection to the ongoing missile attacks terrorizing the Japanese people, or the part he played in the sudden disappearance of 20,000 shut-ins. He doesn't even remember he's supposed to save Japan and will be murdered if he fails. Whatever it is he's tangled up in, Takizawa's definitely in deep - and that's not even scratching the surface.

In this CNN video report, Will Carter '12 demonstrates how an electronic device has enabled him to drive again after a brain injury.
Like many Oglethorpe students, Will Carter '12 has found "his place" over the past three years, carving out his niche in theatre and slowly making a name for himself in Atlanta's crowd of amateur stand-up comics. But unlike most others, Will has had to overcome remarkable odds to get here, a story that he tells with pride on the CNN Health blog this week.
The rising senior and award-winning playwright has always enjoyed the performing arts, and as a youngster he enjoyed watching comedians perform on stage.
"I have always been a kid who loves to make people laugh," recalls Will. "I would watch a lot of stand-up when I was younger…when Toy Story first came out, I quoted it constantly just to make people laugh."
But at age 17, Will was involved in a head-on car accident that left him with a severe brain injury and a long road to recovery ahead. The once highly confident high school student had become wheelchair bound, he'd lost his ability to drive, and tasks that once came easy to him, like studying, took more focus and concentration than ever before.

Do not take the wrong conclusion away from that, there is nothing truly wrong with asking it. I am just wondering why people should expect they could barter for a chance of leniency. Edit 2: Well in a guild with 505 geared people it is not the best target to solve issues in flex but *shrugs*

And they'd talk to me instead of gquitting because I've been coaching them through, offering advice on specific phases.
Proving grounds test more than just straight DPSing, Healing, and Tanking. It tests all the other skills as well such as movement, coordination and prioritising. People who fail at it remind me of players who could never handle CC and/or be relied upon to interrupt. I did Gold Healer on my first try, and it was my offspec and not properly configured.

I can't believe so many people here are opposed to the idea of having guild members do basic requirements in order to prove their usefulness. It's simple if you can't achieve gold in proven grounds then you probably don't have good enough basic motor skills or understand your class enough to raid efficiently. Proving grounds may not have a direct correlation to raiding, but it provides an obstacle where you actually have to know the toolkits of your class to pass it.
The ego of some people while reading this thread is laughable, "If my GM told me to do that, i'd gquit and it'll be his loss!" , "He can't tell me what to do, he doesn't pay my subscription." If I was a guild leader and my members couldn't even pass gold in something as trivial as Proving Grounds then be my guest to leave. You probably didn't contribute anything to the guild in the first place. Join another guild and have fun doing Timeless Isle dailies, while trying to convince yourself that can be a shit player all you want because you pay $15 dollars a month. News flash - you're wasting everybody elses time that pay the same amount of money you are because you refuse to 'better' yourself.
Now your argument would be "but proving grounds don't even have the same mechanics as raiding" You might be right, but it you're still relying on basics. Staying out of void zones, dps'ing the correct target and such. Arena doesn't have the same mechanics as raiding either, but if I was given two recruits with same identical gear, but one has no achievements proving his worth other then 10,000 quests or something equally useless. While the other had 2700+ arena ratings, with mutiple Gladiator feat of strengths. You bet your ass i'd pick the one with the higher arena rating, why? Because despite arena and raiding being on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Him having those achievements PROVES that he has good reaction times and have at least, the very least an understanding of strategy and other classes on how they work.
I'd force em all to have challenge mode golds! CM gear or no invite!!!!!
Personally I think it's a great idea! You can bring a horse to water but you can't make them drink! Tossing all the WOL information in the world at a player that can't disect or understand it is useless however throwing them in a proving ground and showing them where there gaps are and then workign with them to fix it is a "teach a man to fish > give a man a fish" solution! They can see they have an issue fix it go back and get a good guage for how well they resolved there issue by re runing it!
The proof is in the OP's edit where some were miss gemming and forging and were able to find gaps! I would say not all the prooving grounds are the same for each class *looking at all the self heals a prot pallie has with envy* but it's still a great tool for a more casual run raid to point out issue with it's raiders > " You really didnt do good read up and fix it for next week" when that same player has no idea what was wrong or how to fix it!

The thing is, PG doesn't prove anyone (or at least DPS)'s usefullness. What void zone to stay out? I stand still at least half duration of each wave. What target I need to DPS? I only DoT everything I could see, that's all (except 3 waves with the banana monkeys). I've gotten Gold. I've gone through 30+ waves of Endless as a SP just for fun without bother to reforge / regem / switch meta for it, but I can't see it has any relation to raid.Originally Posted by 2jz
So after all, it boils down to a decision upon a whim of the raid leader that doesn't really help the raid anyway, that's what I'd call BS. It makes your raid leader tell you that you have to play a bullet hell game in order to learn dodging stuff, would you go and do that?
It doesn't really prove someone's usefulness at all. What it does do is prove someone's uselessness when they can't do it. As such, I would only do something like this when my intention is actually to weed people out, and not be surprised when some people are unwilling or unable to do it. If that is the intention, then I see nothing wrong with it.
As far as requiring Gold, Endless 10, 20, 30, 1000, it really is arbitrary and is up to the Raid Leader to decide what level he deems to be the bare minimum for someone competent enough for his raid.

That's not my point at all though, read the last part of my post. I said specifically that the argument, "Proving grounds has no correlation to raiding" is invalid and anybody that basis their thought process on that needs to not be involved. I REPEAT - Proving Grounds is there to put your fundamentals to the test, not provide you a raiding simulation to practice on boss fights.
We can both agree that at the very core part of this game is you, the player. You control your avatar, and use WASD and your mouse to manipulate the way your character moves around in static world with obstacles that are thrown your way weather it be another player shooting fireballs at you, or a Dragon tail-swiping you. At the very core of this game is learning to control your character and its toolkit. PG allows you to do this; you have to listen and watch for the Banshee, you have to keep track of the orbs coming toward you and use it to your advantage, you have to get out of the bananas that the monkeys fling, you have to stay behind a target in order to dps them correctly, you have to interrupt healing spells and properly use your AoE. These are all BASICS, every -single- player that wants to raid even casually should know how to do.
If your raid leader asks you to do the most simplest of task to show you're not an absolute moron and waste other peoples time, then I believe it's a completely reasonable request. Maybe i'm old fashioned, but back then when your guild asked you to farm up some resist gear for specific fights, you did it because you're part of a group of people that rely on one another to succeed. If you honestly believe doing that compared to doing PG was 'too much work' or that since you pay for your own subscription you should be the dictator of your own choices then MMO's probably aren't for you and should stick to single player games.
It's awareness of things that could kill you. That's the textbook example of not standing in fire.Orbs? I placed myself behind a mob, let it be my shield and never cared about it again. That certainly isn't avoiding AoE in my book, as all of AoE in raid can't be avoided using the same method. As I said in my previous post in this thread, the orb mechanic is a gimmick that doesn't happen in raid - for the whole MoP at least (other expansions are too long ago to remember), there hasn't been a fight in a raid that require a DPS to kite an orb to a mob.
its easier on some specs that others so pointless for comparing Player A to player B unless they are the same spec, and even then I'd say its a BS tool.
I'd also ignore it on principle as it does not really compare to a raid setting.
Stop looking for easy to measure cop outs. Get people in a raid, show some leadership, inspire them, and make calls based on experience.

About Pink
Pink records album with Dallas Green
You + Me = Pink? When the pop singer decided she wanted to make an acoustic-folk album with Dallas Green (of City and Colour and Alexisonfire fame) they needed a catchy 'band' moniker. That's exactly how You Me was born.
The duo managed to write and record their debut project, "rose ave.," while maintaining total secrecy over approximately one week last March (2014) in a studio in Venice Beach. The major label star working side-by-side with an indie hardcore-turned-folk artist flew under everyone's radar, at least until the official announcement in September that the two were working together. The album was released a month later, with every song written and produced by Pink and Green, except for the final track "No Ordinary Love," which is a song by Sade.
To the surprise of some (but to others no surprise at all), the album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart and at number four on the Billboard 200. It also opened in the top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the United Kingdom. The first single, "You and Me," was followed by "Break the Cycle and "Capsized."
In describing the collaboration to Entertainment Weekly, Green talked about how he saw a card that said You and Me on it. "It made perfect sense, 'cause it really was just the two of us," he said. "There was no boardroom meeting, no, 'You should do this 'cause this will change your career.' It was just an idea from the two of us.
Pink tells "The Truth About Love" (Updated 4/24/14)
In every sense of the word, 2013 turned out to be a banner year for Pink. She was named Billboard's Woman of the Year, with the magazine citing the success of her album "The Truth About Love," as well as the singles "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," "Try," "Just Give Me a Reason," and "True Love."
A successful album wasn't her only reason to celebrate. Pink's "The Truth About Love Tour" was continuously extended due to demand. It played over 140 shows in Australia, Europe and North America, with some of those stops recorded and released on a concert DVD, "The Truth About Love Tour: Love from Melbourne." Overall, the tour was the 3rd best selling tour of 2013 with $147.9 million in ticket sales, coming in only behind Bon Jovi and Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.
The accolades kept rolling in as Pink was ranked the 6th top artist of 2013 and scored her highest charting end-of-year song and album ; "Just Give Me a Reason" was sitting at No. 7 on the Hot 100 and "The Truth About Love" was No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, Pink was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Just Give Me a Reason." She also performed a breathtaking Cirque du Soleil aerial rendition of "Try," then landed on stage to join Nate Ruess in singing "Just Give Me a Reason." The performance pushed both songs back onto the iTunes charts, and boosted her album in sales to No. 12 on iTunes.
Pink ended 2013 as music's 9th top grossing artist, with more than $20 million earned.
Pennsylvania's Pop Powerhouse (Created April 3, 2013)
She is a powerhouse of pop, a master of songcraft and never destined to fall under the label of just another tween act. Instead, Pink (also known as P!nk) and her rock-influenced vocals aimed to set the record straight with her sophomore album "Missundaztood." After its release, there would be no more question of her musical direction.
Born Alecia Moore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Pink was just a teen when she began making the rounds on the Philadelphia club scene. It led to a life on a musical merry go-round. She was a dancer, a backing vocalist and part of two separate R&B groups before landing a solo contract. But her debut album, "Can't Take Me Home," nearly pigeonholed her as a teen act. She aimed to set the record straight with "Misundaztood" – and she did. Behind songs like "Get the Party Started" and "Don't Let Me Get Me," the album quickly went double-platinum.
Pink next issued "Try This," which continued her progression toward a more rock-oriented sound. Then came "I'm Not Dead," "Funhouse" and 2012's "The Truth About Love." The latter, which was her sixth studio album, featured such singles as "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" and "Try." The project is being supported by a world tour that kicked off on February 13, 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona. In March, Pink confirmed she'll be adding more dates to her tour in Australia, Canada and the US.
Outside of music, Pink is known for her eclectic and adventurous hair styles. She is also an advocate for PETA, and heavily involved with several charities. Her social media following is also at some 14+ million Twitter followers, and 18 million likes on Facebook.

The Southern Kings are still hoping that Saru will accommodate their foreign player situation next season.
A fortnight ago, the Kings announced the signings of Argentina and Toulouse scrumhalf Nicolas Vergallo and Blues utility back Hadleigh Parkes. The EP Kings already have Samoan wing Paul Perez and Kiwi prop Clint Newland in their domestic squad, who will also be available for the franchise in 2013.
The Kings made these deals despite the regulations stating that all local teams only have two foreign players in their final Super Rugby squads.
At the time, the Kings had sent a request to Saru for these restrictions to be lifted. The Melbourne Rebels were allowed 10 international imports for their first season in 2010.
The Eastern Cape franchise argued that because of Saru's delayed announcement of their tournament status in August, they were prevented the chance from signing experienced South African players earlier in the year. The Kings stressed that their four foreign players will help them be competitive during their debut Super Rugby campaign next season.
However, Saru declined this request a week later.
This leaves the Kings in a difficult situation as all four players will be expecting to play Super Rugby. Kings president Cheeky Watson confirmed that negotiations with Saru are still ongoing.
'It's a tricky situation. We are still holding talks with Saru about it,' Watson told keo.co.za. 'We are hoping that they'll be able to accommodate our situation.'

About UNDP in Montenegro
In promoting sustainable human development, UNDP Montenegro supports the country's European Union accession priorities, building on its global development network, access to innovative solutions, knowledge, experience and resources. We do so by (i) advancing democratic society and accountable institutions with greater citizens' participation, (ii) building an inclusive society with equal opportunity to all citizens to reach their full potential and (iii) promoting green future through market transformation toward a low emission, resource efficient and resilient economy.
What do we want to accomplish?
Assisting Montenegro in its key reform agenda and on the European accession path has and will continue to be at the core of UNDP work. In partnership with the government, NGOs, municipalities and other actors, we are focused on results in three main areas namely Democratic Governance, Social Inclusion and Sustainable Development.
The priority of UNDP operating within the framework of the "Delivering as One" is subsequently to help link policy with practice in addressing the challenges of sustainable human development and European Union accession, through policy support, technical assistance, innovation and knowledge management.
What are our results?
We support three key reforms: Public Administration, Judiciary and Security sector reform while the overarching priority, the EU accession process is supported through the Capacity Development Programme (CDP). Since 2003, the CDP has contributed to achieving of each milestone in the European Integration process: preparation of the Stabilization and Association Agreement and its implementation; preparation for the EU accession through strengthening the capacities of state administration and specifically EU accession negotiation structures, as well as through developing of key strategic documents, including the National Programme for Integration (NPI), Economic and Fiscal Programme (EFP), Pre-Accession Economic Programme (PEP), the Public Administration Reform Strategy, etc.
In advancing the Social Welfare Agenda of Montenegro, UNDP has supported setting-up of 23 local level social services: home assistance and day care centres for the elderly, personal assistance and day care centres for persons with disabilities, SOS telephones for victims of domestic violence, family/youth counseling and services of rehabilitation and social reintegration of drug addicts.
In the area of Sustainable Development, we help the country move towards low emissions, resource efficient economy and to increase resilience of ecosystems, economies, and communities. Our work towards a resource efficient economy relates for instance on energy efficiency based formalization, energy efficiency interventions in cultural heritage buildings, sustainable tourism and improved environmental monitoring.
Who are the decision makers?
The Resident Coordinator, who is the Executive Representative of the Secretary General, heads the UN Country Team in Montenegro and is also the Resident Representative of UNDP in Montenegro.
UNDP Resident Representative in Montenegro is responsible for ensuring the effective day-to-day management of UNDP Country Office and assumes overall responsibility for the UNDP programme and operations to ensure coherence and strategic direction of UNDP activities. The Resident Representative is supported by Assistant Resident Representative.
UNDP works in close collaboration with the Government of Montenegro, key line ministries, local self-governments, specialized institutions, international organizations, academia, private sector and a number of non-governmental and civil society organizations.

IzPack provides support to execute Ant tasks during installation and uninstallation.
For example:
|Code Block
<resources> ... <res id="AntActionsSpec.xml" src="myInstallSpecs/MyAntActionsSpec.xml" /> ... </resources> <jar src="jar/ant.jar" stage="both"/> <jar src="jar/customtasks.jar" stage="both"/> <listeners> <listener classname="AntActionInstallerListener" stage="install" /> <listener classname="AntActionUninstallerListener" stage="uninstall" /> </listeners>
In the above:
- the AntActionsSpec.xml resource determines the Ant tasks to be executed. The base path of
srcis the installation project path.
- the <jar/> element specifies jar dependencies required to execute the Ant tasks. At a minimum, this must include the Ant jar.
- the <listeners> element is used to hook execution of the Ant tasks into the installer and uninstaller
Nor that an "extended" ant use needs more than one jar, for example often
xercesImpl.jar. If an obscure "class not found" exception is raised during testing, check first for missing jar files.
stage attribute of the jar element determines when a jar is required. If an ant uninstaller custom action is used, the uninstaller also needs the jar files. If
stage is "both" or "uninstall", the contents of the referenced jar file will be packed into the uninstaller.
Note that not the jar file itself, but the contents of it are required. This implies, that the paths of the contained files are unique and the information in
meta-inf/Manifest.mf will be lost.
The AntActionSpec XML Struture
An ant action is defined in the resource with the id "AntActionsSpec.xml". In IzPack 5.0 (as of 5.0.0-beta-11), an XML-Schema is provided, which may be declared as follows:
|Code Block
<izpack:antactions version="5.0" xmlns:izpack="http://izpack.org/schema/antactions" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://izpack.org/schema/antactions http://izpack.org/schema/5.0/izpack-antactions-5.0.xsd"> <!-- .... --> </izpack:antactions>
Prior to processing the packs a substitution is performed using all defined
IzPack variables on the spec file. This is a common way of loading spec files into custom actions.
For more information see method
com.izforge.izpack.util.SpecHelper.readSpec. If you want to substitute a value in the file, simply add a variable via installData.setVariable in a custom panel before
InstallPanel. The given variable name (id) should be written into the xml file in the common variable notation.
The following outlines the sections available in the AntActionsSpec.xml:
The top level XML section is called
<antactions>. The antactions element may contain zero or more pack elements described below:
The pack element is used to tie the action(s) to be performed to the packs selected in the installation. The pack element may have the following attribute:
The name of the pack that this pack element maps to. This should correspond to the name of a pack defined in install.xml
The pack element must contain 1 or more antcall elements.
antcall element has the following attributes:
Allowed Values
Determine at what point of installation the antcalls defined by element
Determine at what point of uninstallation the antcalls defined by element
To quit or not.
yes or no, default: no
To output verbose information or not.
yes or no, default: no
Path to the file where logging should be performed. Note: The logfile should be not marked for uninstallation otherwise it will be deleted too.
Any valid file path (TODO: should verify format)
yes, if buildresource not specified
Path to the file which contains the antcall. This is the file you normally use as
Any valid file path (TODO: should verify format)
yes, if buildfile not specified
The value is the id of the resource which contains the antcall. This resource will be extracted out into a temporary file and the path to this file will be passed as if
A resource id.
|The working directory for executing the Ant build in
buildfile or
buildresource. If set, it explicitly overrides the basedir set there and serves as base directory for relative path names accessed during the Ant build.
|Any valid directory path
If it is defined, the message will be displayed in the InstallPanel whilst performing the ant call.
A string ID which refers to
|Execute this action only if the condition is fulfilled.
|A valid condition string.
In addition to the possible attributes there are some elements may be defined within an antcall element. All elements can be defined zero or more times in an
<antcall>. Although all elements are optional, no ANT tasks will be performed unless a
<target> element is specified. Do not confuse the following: "required"s are related to the attributes of the elements, not to the elements themselfs.
Defines a property to be used with all targets and uninstall_targets which are defined for this antcall. The following attributes may be defined:
Allowed Values
The name of the property to set.
Any string value
The value to set for the property.
Any string value
Defines properties to be used, read from a property file which are defined for this antcall. The following attributes may be defined:
Allowed Values
The path to the properties file.
A valid file path.
One way to fill specific data into it is to create a new file in a custom panel and fill it with values given by input fields. The file path can be set at installation time, if there is a variable in AntActionSpec.xml and an IzPack variable was defined before InstallPanel. That file can be only created with deleteOnExit, if no
<uninstall_target> was defined in this
<antcall>. This implies, that other
<antcall>}}s can have a {{<uninstall_target>.
<target>: target to call at installation h3. Targets to perform with this antcall at installation time. The targets should be defined in the given buildfile or else an ant exception will be raised. This is that what you use, if you don't want to perform the default target. e.g. cleaning the
IzPack project with
ant clean.
The target to execute in the ANT build file during action specified in the order attribute of the antcall (install time). Note: Multiple targets to execute for the action may be specified by using multiple target elements. The following attribute must be defined:
Allowed Values
Name of the target to execute in the ANT buildfile
Any valid ANT target defined in the build file.
Targets to perform with this antcall at uninstallation time. Note: Multiple targets to execute for the action may be specified by using multiple target elements.
Allowed Values
Name of the target to execute in the ANT buildfile
Any valid ANT target defined in the build file.

I mean. I'd like these threads to be game DAY threads and not just game threads. Otherwise, why just make one at a time? Why not just make all the rest of the game threads instantly right now?
It's like typing FIRST on a YouTube video or something.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Not really a big deal that he started the thread. What else you want to talk about for 3 days?
The Rockets are sneaky good. 2 rugged games in a row with Rockets and Thunder.... Lets get it!
I welcome our 3 days in advance gameday thread overlord.
Don't know if it's bad or anything to worry about just yet. I guess we'll know more a little later.John Reid @JohnReidTP
Hornets rookie Austin Rivers rolled right ankle during practice today
His ankle is freaking jello. I'd bet he plays Wednesday unlike some other SG we supposedly pay to play basketball.
Looks like it's not a big deal. Still expected to play on Wed.

What's crazy is Rivers pain threshold and being able to withstand multiple sprains only if Erica Gordon had the same mentality.

Also Davis needs a pair of Abdul-Jabbar goggles since his contacts keep falling out.

Davis and Lopez are going to have a tall task in trying to keep Asik off the boards.

Seeing some interviews last night it sounded like Rivers will draw Harden to atleast start the game.
This is something I will pay very close attention too, because Harden uses the pick and roll in 33% of his possessions, more than any other type of game (iso, off screen, post up, hand off, etc). He has ran the p&r 63 times to start the season, has shot 33 times off the pick and is converting about 49% of his looks. He also looks for shots beyond the arc about 30% of the time, though he hasn't had much like converting threes this season.
Rivers on the other hand, while he's been good defending the pick and roll (defender shoots 20%, turns it over 44% of the time) it's been in a very small sample. He's only defended the pick and roll 9 times in 4 games. He'll surely get a healthy dose of it tonight. I'm sure the most likely scenario though is we through a little off Greivis, Farouq, Mason and whatever other wing see's the court tonight. Greivis has been awful in his 19 possessions so I hope Monty is smart enough to not go in that direction.
BTW, if you want to revisit this thread:
Some of you may remember Farouq's stats last season:
Through four games they've been a whole lot better:Al-Farouq Aminu:
%Score- 37.8%
%Score- 29.6%
Also, not to oversimplify it but it really comes down to whether the Rockets make their 3's tonight. They take about 20 per game and in their wins they have made about 34%, in their losses 26%. That is a 5 point swing on just three-pointers alone and most of their games have been close. Gotta contest and hope they miss
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I'll be at the game! Very excited to see da Brow in person. I also think limiting the Rockets threes are going to be very important. Delfino and Parsons have been killing teams with their three point shooting. A matchup to watch is Vasquez vs Lin. Lin's been struggling with his shot, but he's made it up with his steals this season. Patrick Patterson has also been a nice suprise for them this season, so I hope that Davis can limit him with his athleticism.
