Think of the thousands of festivals taking place this year, and the sheer volume of materials consumed or discarded. EMU was looking to call attention to those numbers and make a statement that green design can make a big difference in how a festival can reduce its impact. To that end, Neenan held a competition with three finalists who could be voted for online. The winning design, called the X Tent, took first place for its combination of simplicity, portability, green materials and capacity to be configured into multiple setups.
The simplicity of the design was achieved by creating a structure that unfolds into a cross for vertical support. These hold up cantilevered beams connected by 10 foot poles which in turn hold the canopy. Take two X Tents and have them face each other and you have a sizable shelter under the intense Colorado sun. Stack them side by side and you get a excellent place to interact with vendors. The tents take two people about 10 minutes to erect and with wheels set to the base a packed tent needs only one person to cart it around.
The most impressive aspect of the design is how only sustainably sourced materials were used in its construction. The wood components are salvaged pine beetle killed trees which are locally sourced and milled. Light but strong bamboo support poles connect the two frames together. The canopy is made of reclaimed army parachutes which slip into the poles, and because it is double layered, it blocks radiant heat from the sun without keeping out all of the light. Jute rope is used to tighten the rig, tied from end to end to stiffen the tents in the wind. With a successful run under its belt the X Tent looks to make events not only more environmentally sound but also more fun and functional.

Remember Me
@POS We saw the tents fist hand and talked extensively to the to the designer/builder. While there are some more measures to make it bullet proof (like support for getting rain off in the middle) it looked pretty solid. I've been building for 17 years so have seen design fails plenty of times.
I must admit the holes for the bamboo in the beams look like a snap waiting to happen.
I saw this design and know that it would fail miserably under even moderately bad weather. If it was a true storm it would be a mess.

England's clash with Wales this Saturday will be an important step in Springbok coach Jake White's preparation for the World Cup pool match.
Coach Brian Ashton has named something resembling a full strength side for the Twickenham Test, and White expected the core of that side to remain unchanged for their vital September 14 clash in St Denis.
"There may be a change at centre," White said. "I don't know what they are going to do at centre when they play us. They may try to bring Mike Tindall back.
"But the team against Wales is nearly the best England can send to France. I have heard a lot about their loose forwards [Martin Corry, Joe Worsley and Nick Easter]. Now I see they have given Mark Cueto a chance at fullback. They also rate David Strettle [right wing] highly."
White also predicted that Jonny Wilkinson and Shaun Perry would form the halfback combination, while Simon Shaw and Steve Borthwick would front them in the second row and Phil Vickery and Andrew Sheridan would pack down at prop.
"Many people are talking about the hooker George Shuter but I think Mark Regan moved into contention when he played against us," he continued. "Martin Corry and Lawrence Dallaglio are probably competing for the No 8 position and Lewis Moody and Joe Worsley are likely to be the flanks against us."
There have been questions around Dallaglio's ability to deliver the same level of performance he did in England's successful campaign in 2003, with many believing he is past his prime. White however said he thought the 35-year-old could still be a force in France.
"I think he can still play a few good matches. I've spoken to Ian McGeechan, who coaches Wasps, and he says Dallaglio is one of those players who can still appear in a number of games. That is why Wasps are using him only for the big ones."
England – 15 Mark Cueto, 14 David Strettle, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Andy Farrell, 11 Jason Robinson, 10 Jonny Wilkinson, 9 Shaun Perry, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Joe Worsley, 6 Martin Corry, 5 Steve Borthwick, 4 Simon Shaw, 3 Phil Vickery, 2 Mark Regan, 1 Andrew Sheridan.

Prep baseball: Jackson qualifies for state tourney
Timberwolves beat Monroe 5-0, advance to district title game
Jackson's 5-0 victory Monday clinches a spot in Thursday night's district championship game against Lake Stevens and, more importantly, assures the Timberwolves of a place in the upcoming state tournament.
"My kids are great kids, and they've been battling all year," said Jackson coach Kirk Nicholson, whose team will head to state for the third straight year. "All year long we've said, 'Hey, guys, just keep the path, do what's right and don't worry about league play.
"We wanted to be ready for these two (district tournament) games because if you win two games at the end of the year, you go to state. And our guys did a nice job of that."
The Timberwolves won behind the strong outing of starting pitcher Jaris Beasley, who checked Monroe on just three hits, and an offense that managed only four hits but took advantage of three walks and six costly Bearcat errors.
One of those errors was more costly than all the rest -- if it actually was an error, that is.
After scoring once in the third inning, Jackson pushed across four unearned runs in the fifth, including three runs that scored on the game's most pivotal and certainly most controversial play. The Timberwolves loaded the bases with no outs and got their first run of the inning, and their second of the game, on a four-pitch walk to Jeremy Spring.
Alex Baumgartner followed with a bouncer to Monroe shortstop Dakota Ralph. His throw to catcher Joseph Goguen forced out Jackson's Joakim Soderqvist coming down the line from third, but Goguen's throw to first base for a double play attempt sailed down the right field line.
Two runs scored initially, and when the ball kicked past right fielder Andy Zimmerman in the corner Baumgartner hustled around for the inning's fourth run.
Bearcats coach Eric Chartrand was immediately out of the dugout, contending that Soderqvist had bumped Goguen.
"The kid obviously hit my catcher's arm," Chartrand insisted later, "and that was not called. ... That's a throwing error that's really not an error because his arm got hit while he was trying to throw. But the umpire said he didn't see that portion of the play."
It was, Nicholson said, a "tough call there at home plate where they threw it away."
That play aside, the Bearcats still made five other errors, including two others in Jackson's four-run fifth. Only one of the Timberwolves' five runs was earned.
Monroe had been playing good defense late in the season, Chartrand said, "but these kids had never been here (in the playoffs) before and I think it caught up with them. We had a lot of nerves, and the mistakes we made we don't normally make.
"We played a really good baseball team and we made too many mistakes," he said, "and that's going to cost you a ballgame."
Otherwise, the difference in the game was Beasley. He allowed no more than one base runner an inning in his six-plus innings (other than two in the first, the result of an error), and no Monroe runner reached third base until the seventh when Beasley was on the bench.
"I was sort of struggling in the beginning, but in the later innings I felt better," said the senior right-hander. "I wasn't at my sharpest, but I had a great defense behind me backing me up."
Jackson's defense was particularly sterling in the fourth, with Soderqvist making a headlong diving catch to take a leadoff hit away from Goguen. After a Bearcats base hit, T-wolves third baseman Aaron Avalos made a tough snag near the bag of a hard smash by Monroe's Patrick Siler and turned it into a terrific 5-4-3 double play.
In the end, "it was a hard-fought game," Nicholson said. "I'm not sure we were any better than them, but I think some things just bounced our way."
At Everett Memorial Stadium
Jackson 001 040 0--5 4 2
Monroe 000 000 0--0 3 0
Beasley, Wingert (7) and Kiel; Siler, Spahman (6), Murphy (7) and Goguen. WP--Beasley. LP--Siler. Records--Jackson is 13-7. Monroe is 7-15.

Under the Never Sky
Under the Never Sky (Paperback)
In a world of danger
an unlikely alliance
breathtaking adventure
and unforgettable romance
Under the Never Sky has sold into twenty-six countries and been optioned for film by Warner Bros. Dont miss the stunning book trailer directed by Roman White, available on the HarperTeen YouTube channel.
About the Author
Veronica Rossi graduated from UCLA and studied fi ne art at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. She began writing fiction for teens and received first-place awards in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association and SouthWest Writers annual contests before completing Under the Never Sky, the first book in her Under the Never Sky trilogy. It's since been embraced by publishers in more than twenty-six countries worldwide and optioned for fi lm by Warner Bros. Veronica lives in northern California with her husband and two sons.
Praise for Under the Never Sky…
"The interwoven narratives of both male and female protagonists offer broad appeal. Already selling in more than twenty countries and with film rights optioned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, Rossi's first novel has the potential to be a blockbuster."
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Rossi nails the feat of offering dual perspectives. Rossi grounds her worldbuilding in language, creating idioms for the Dwellers and Outsiders that add texture to their respective myths; her characters are brave and complex and her prose smooth and evocative. Inspired, offbeat and mesmerizing."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An incredibly original plot. You won't be able to put this book down…we can't wait for the next installment in the trilogy!"
"An unforgettable dystopian masterpiece."
"Fans of The Hunger Games will cheer Aria's gradual, warrior-like transformation over the course of the novel. Perry is an enigmatic figure whose past emerges slowly and whose strength of character is only amplified by his flaws."
"Aria is a memorable protagonist as she battles her own shortcomings with the same ferocity as she fights for the lives of those she loves. The world itself-sharply divided into garishly surreal Realms, cozy Pods, and harsh, unforgiving outside-is as creatively and lavishly developed as the characters themselves."
-The Horn Book
"Rossi's novel transcends. There's a luminescence to her world that denies the grim realities of environmental degradation, domed cities, genetic disease, and roaming bands of cannibals. It comes across as the work of a master craftsman."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
"Refreshing. Exhilarating. Rossi unravels the world's secrets, perils, and wonders with a sure hand."
-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Will capture your imagination and your heart."

The plan for the
After a barrage of 3s from Word of God, BCA wound up on the losing end of an 81-38 home defeat.
"Our gameplan, because we knew we were a little bit outsized, was to make them shoot," BCA coach Brian Dehart said. "They came in here (Monday) night and lit us up."
Word of God (2-0) made 12 shots from 3-point range in the game, seven of which came on its first nine field goals. The

When Jamison Jeffers nailed a 3 with 2 minutes, 53 seconds left in the first quarter, BCA trailed 12-9. But Word of God switched to a box-and-1 defense to limit Jeffers' scoring opportunities and went on a 19-2 run in a 7:35 stretch between the first and second quarters.
"I wasn't worried about the 3s," Jeffers said of the Holy Rams' shooting. "We couldn't get anything going on offense and they started doing the box-and-1 on me and it was like everything started going down. We have to get better at that."
A 35-15 halftime advantage for Word of God quickly expanded when the Holy Rams scored the first 11 points of the second half in 1:53. An alley-oop from Josh Newkirk to Shane Whitefield provided the exclamation mark at the end of the run.
Word of God coach Quentin Jackson said his team's defensive intensity, in switching to the box-and-1 and turning over the

"We came out slow during the second half," Jeffers said. "We'll be fine down the road, playing these tough opponents first."
BCA was not only out-manned in size but also in sheer players, matching a nine-player roster against Word of God's 13 players, 12 of whom scored.
"They just wore us down," Dehart said. "They played into our hand and hit the 3s."

The German Shepherd dog can be great with kids if socialized to them as puppies. If there are young kids in the home, ie: under ten years old then adopting a young dog, under a year old or a puppy would be best. So that the dog can grow up with children and be socialized to them. But if the children are older and have dog-smarts, then adopting an adult German Shepherd is perfectly fine as long as the dog shows no aggression or shyness towards children.5/26/2015 1:23:51 PM
Any dog can bite. That is like asking if all babies can cry -- they all have the ability to do so. The German Shepherd is a loyal, protective family dog. The level of protectiveness will depend on the pedigree/breeding of the dog. G.S.D's that were bred for protection work, police service, or any other job will be more protective and have a high work drive. However, G.S.D's that are bred for family life and/or show are more laid back, calm and better with families. Finding a reputable, responsible and knowledgeable breeder is the main thing when wanting to bring a G.S.D into your home.5/26/2015 1:22:08 PM
The German Shepherd can easily get along with other dogs as long as the pup is well socialized as a pup and is well trained. But please understand that the German Shepherd has an extremely high prey drive, so supervision is a must when the dog is around dogs smaller then itself.5/14/2015 4:50:43 PM
He sounds like a typical German Shepherd puppy that has not been taught how to act in new situations. Fear aggression is very scary and needs to be nipped in the bud a.s.a.p. Contact your local Positive Reinforcement trainer and start some private lessons with him/her. He/She will be able to help you work with your pup on his fear aggression.4/7/2015 12:00:44 PM

OCD in German Shepherds is rare, so it is very interesting to hear that your dog had it. If you decide to get another, please get one from a reputable, responsible and knowledgeable breeder that knows his/her dogs. Make sure that they know if their pedigree is OCD free and follow up on all references of past puppies to make sure that no OCD occurred in any of the dogs.3/22/2015 7:24:44 PM
My husband and I had a German Shepherd with the same, OCD!! We had to get her tail amputated as well.. She had torn it so bad, she mostly amputated it off herself.. Sorry to be so graphic, but it was such a bad injury... We brought her into the vet and he fixed her right up.. We got her when she was 2, from a breeder.. She was a kennel dog her whole 2 years of living there, had a liter of puppies before my husband and I rescued her.. So imagine the whole 2 hours to get back home with her, in the back of an old Ford Escort, the poor girl was petrified!! But she made it home safe and sound.. She blossomed so much and became such a wonderful, loving protector in the end!! We are actually in search for a pup now!! Can't wait to have another baby part of our family again!! :) it's been way to long that we have been without a GS..4/27/2015 9:05:48 PM
Our last shepherd has anxiety and OCD and had almost all the hair he could reach pulled out. We attributed the worsening nature of his disease to our house of 4 children. To help him we had an elderly couple take him and so far he is doing very well. 4/29/2015 2:41:26 PM
We had a German Shepherd that had separation anxiety. He would attack his own foot and tail. The vet said that he was suffering from dysplasia and recommended surgery which we did. Needless to say it didn't help. He ended up chewing off his foot and we had to put him down.5/1/2015 10:23:19 PM
The German Shepherd breed is very intelligent and is quick to pick up training when done right. Get in contact with your local Positive Reinforcement trainer and set up your pup for Puppy Obedience classes and then Basic Obedience when your pup is older. This will give you a solid foundation with your pup in obedience and give you the tools to learn how to train your dog.3/6/2015 10:52:36 AM
The rate the dog will grow depends on the pedigree of the dog, not the environment/climate. Most German Shepherds are full grown at a year to a year and a half old, but some can take as long as 2 years to fill out fully. But by two years old, your Shepherd is full grown body and mind.2/19/2015 5:25:39 PM
Unless your dog is of impeccable breeding, is titled and has cleared her health checks, she should not be bred. Breeding for the sake of breeding is the reason why there are so many dogs in shelters/rescues and why so many health issues plague many dog breeds these days. It would be wise to have your dog spayed so that she can live a long and happy life with you.2/16/2015 5:54:53 PM
Exercise and socialization. The German Shepherd breed is naturally protective and since you live in an apartment complex, it could spell problem if your dog becomes over-protective. As well, the German Shepherd breed is an active dog that needs a lot of exercise, they aver at least an hour and a half of running exercise a day to tire them out and so you do not have to worry about destructive behavior, separation anxiety or barking problems.2/5/2015 12:12:49 AM
The average life span of the German Shepherd is 10 years. However, longevity of the breed itself and each dog all depends on several things. Including genetics, what the dog is fed over its life time, how much exercise the dog gets over it's life time, and if the puppy injured by accident while young which can cause illness' in old age.12/27/2014 3:59:27 PM

Any show quality dog is more than pet quality can get 1200 and up2/13/2014 7:21:14 AM
Typically a well bred shepherd will minimally run $1000. This is to cover the costs that breeder incurs when temperament testing, health testing, and raising and maintaining dogs of good quality. Whether you want a pet or not, it is a good idea to look to breeders who prove their dogs are breed worthy through temperament testing and health testing at the bare minimum. You may pay more upfront for a puppy from a responsible breeder like this, but you will save yourself thousands of dollars, liability problems, and heart break when you get a dog who has temperament flaws, behavioral issues, severe health issues and costs you more in the long run. I would question why a German shepherd is listed any less than $1000 for the reasons of how much it costs to prove those dogs are breed worthy... Look for dogs that have temperament testing and health testing through the orthopedic foundation for animals (offa.org)2/14/2014 8:30:38 PM
Depends on if you are wanting American Show, West German Show, West German Working, East German Working, Czech Working, Czech Show, etc. etc. There are many different lines of GSDs and each carries its own "price range". Well for the most part they do.
I would say a good average to set yourself up for is between 1200 and 1800 for any of these lines. The working lines on average are cheaper than the show lines, but that is not etched in stone.
You will find prices that blast the ones I posted away (up to 7k for an 8 week old puppy). I avoid such breeders. There is nothing that can guarantee an 8 week old puppy is going to grow up to be a $7000 dog. I can buy a titled adult, with hip and elbow stamps for that price!2/22/2014 9:26:13 PM

No, German Shepherds actually are very protective of children. They make EXCELLENT family pets.10/19/2013 1:23:56 PM
No. German Shepherd's are protective of their family and very loyal. They are very intelligent and easy to train simple obedience. 11/18/2013 9:43:39 PM
A well-bred, well-trained, well-socialized German Shepherd, does not harm children. The dog must have a stable temperament first and foremost in order to survive the rigors of children. Temperament is genetic so it is imperative to find a breeder breeding for sound nerve, and proving that sound nerve through titles and temperament testing. Both the breeder and owner must be doing their part to ensure the dog is steady enough to be placed with children. It is not as simple as asking or saying a certain breed is good with children or not. It boils down to pedigrees, lines, and individual dogs. Hope this helps some! :-)11/26/2013 6:23:05 PM
Any dog can harm a child! My experience is that German Shepherd's will protect their family members. 2/21/2014 12:13:54 AM
German Shepherds can harm kids if not trained properly.2/10/2015 10:51:30 PM
I find the German Shepherd breed is excellent with children. I have mine around my small grandchildren and I find it important to teach the children to respect the dog as well! Have had Shepherds all my life and would stand fast that they are excellent family dogs and protective of ALL family members, some make better children watchers and protectors than people!!2/11/2015 1:20:06 PM
German Shepherds are good family dogs. They will protect children.

Any good quality pet food is suitable for German Shepherds puppies so long as it is a puppy formula. However, the puppies need to stay on the puppy formula until they are between 12 months and 15 months. The reason for this, is that the puppy formula promotes strong bone growth where as putting them on an adult formula at 6 months can jeopardize the skeletal structure. Personally, I feed Blue Buffalo, lamb and oatmeal to my German Shepherds and they are doing great with it. 8/11/2013 9:35:45 PM
The previous answer offers wonderful information. In addition to Blue Buffalo, we have had success with Royal Canin. Royal Canin makes a german shepherd puppy formula that is fed until 15 months of age. We also always recommend adding probiotics for puppies. 12/1/2014 7:24:23 PM
A fair response would be a food your pups thrives on, that you also feel good about. We feed our German Shepherds of all ages Life's Abundance and I am proud to be a Independent field rep for the company! Dogs of all ages and breeds have done fabulous and love the food. 5/19/2013 3:48:30 PM
Anything made with a "large breed formula" is best. It has vitamins and minerals meant specifically to help large breed puppies as the grow and throughout life. 7/16/2013 11:52:02 AM

Science Eiet was great for my German Shepherd puppy.5/18/2015 11:53:53 AM
Be consistent with saying "no" and make sure nobody else in the household is letting him bite.. even if they see it as "playing." While he is a puppy, its great to have treats or toys handy (back pocket, counter, end tables) to reward him when he does something good AND to distract him for a behavior that is bad (bitting you). Offering him a tug, a rope or even an old t-shirt so he can play tug-a-war with you. He may just want your attention and has no other way of letting you know. If his puppy teeth are bothering him a great chew to give is a cow hoof. They are sold at most pet supply stores (petsmart, petco) and are only $1 each and last for months. The solution is consistency. Let him know what is ok and what is not. Shepherd's are very smart dogs and thrive off your satisfaction with them. Give lots of praise when he does good, and you'll see how quickly he learns. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and your puppy!7/16/2013 11:25:19 AM
Just to add to the previous post, patience is a virtue. When training a puppy one must always have patience and to stay calm. Consistency and patience is always key with training but all family members must participate in training, and enforcing that training at all times. Once a German Shepherd is trained, does not mean they are done learning. You have to maintain their training on a daily basis. This ensures a happy pup and a happy family.8/11/2013 9:45:37 PM
German Shepherds have dewclaws on the front legs. Some breeders have them removed with the puppy is around 2 days old. If your dog doesn't have dewclaws, that's probably why. You should be able to fold back the hair on the inside of each leg near the foot and feel a little scar where the dewclaw once was. Shepherd's do not have webbed feet. It may seem like it because there toes are connected to one another at the base (just like our toes).7/16/2013 11:29:59 AM
Imported German Shepherds do not have dew Claws or webbed feet.. American German Shepherds do.. Mine are all whelped without. 12/3/2013 11:49:30 PM

Your female will start to flag between 9 and 15 days. Flagging is when they stop bleeding, hold there tail to the side and rub there hind on everything (you, a fence, a wall). This is also referred to as excepting because the female is ovulating and ready to breed. Once she stops ovulating the flagging and excepting will end. Some females will start to except earlier or later.. that all depends on the dog.
Before you breed its very important that you take the time to educate yourself. Your vet should also be a great source of information during this process. There is a lot that goes into breeding, caring for the mother and helping her raise the pups. For the sake of the little ones and there future please devote some time into making sure everything is done right. Best wishes!7/17/2013 11:36:55 AM
There is no better time than now! Life will be a lot easier for the two of you if you start now. Manners are the most important for now. Basic commands will start setting in better at around 16 weeks. Don't wait until then to start though. Only because if you start at 16 weeks you will have 16 weeks of newly formed habits to undo. It will be very confusing for your puppy and very stressful for you.7/16/2013 11:43:16 AM
I start training puppies at 4 weeks old.2/1/2015 11:04:36 PM
All the above is right on!! The pups are very intelligent and the earlier the better!! Best of luck! Remember the dog is only as well behaved as it's trained to be!2/11/2015 1:27:50 PM
Hahiko will stop with consistent correction. Hahiko probably feels like he has the Alpha position in the household. You need to take that position from him before it ends in Quinn getting hurt. In order to gain the alpha position give commands and make him listen. Don't hit or yell but be firm and let him know you are serious. It might take a little bit but he will stop. 7/16/2013 11:48:12 AM

A German shepherd you have to help keep ear up should not be breed. It is a defect in gene. I never pin my dog ear up. I have had a pup pick up ears at 7 weeks and never went down. I had a pup take almost five months to pick ears up. Large ears take longer due to weight of ears.. 12/3/2013 11:59:06 PM
Spring and Fall, and the enviroment!! Good grooming and daily brushing help as well as good diet!!2/11/2015 1:31:17 PM
Depending on the severity and age sometimes you dont have a whole lot of options. If it's a dog that is not geriatric sometimes you can have surgery done but be prepared to pay for it. But your best thing to do is to avoid the increased risk of hip dysplasia by purchasing a puppy from a good blood like where the breeder is willing to give you a guarantee on the quality of the hips. Hope this helps! 6/5/2014 7:43:45 AM
The dam (mother) will automatically start pulling away from puppies as soon as they start spiking teeth. This is the wheening period and with this phase of the pups life, they start becoming more independent, and their personalities start forming. It is best to keep the puppies with their mother as much as she wants to be around them. She teaches them what is right and wrong, and she also lets the pups know when they have over stepped their boundaries. Even though the dam will start letting her young venture off without her, she will still play a dominant and influential role until they are about 8-12 weeks of age. It is best to part the pups from mom minimum 8 weeks to maximum 12 weeks.1/9/2014 12:43:55 AM
German Shepherds will shed constantly. Be sure to have a good vacuum. They will blow their coats twice a year (depending on climate) and you will be knee deep in fur. You will be able to pull it out in clumps. At least weekly brushing will help, but the are called German Shedders for a reason. Do not let this keep you from a wonderful breed. Loyal, intelligent and beautiful, they are wonderful dogs. I put up with the hair because I love the breed.4/30/2015 10:50:09 AM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for German Shepherd breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Flyhalf Butch James will captain the Golden Lions when they host the Blue Bulls in an important derby this Saturday.
Coach Johan Ackerman has resisted the temptation to push Elton Jantjies straight into the starting side, and so the returning Bok flyhalf will play from the bench.
James's elevation to captain is also the result of CJ van der Linde starting in place of regular skipper JC Janse van Rensburg. Pat Cilliers is also back from Bok duty to bolster the front row, while another returning Bok squad member in Lionel Mapoe is included on the bench.
Jaco Taute, who started for the Boks at outside centre last week, has been rested according Lions management.
Golden Lions – 15 Ruan Combrinck, 14 Deon Helberg, 13 Deon van Rensburg, 12 Alwyn Hollenbach, 11 Anthony Volmink, 10 Butch James (c), 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Willie Britz, 7 Dercik Minnie, 6 Jaco Kriel, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Michael Rhodes, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 CJ van der Linde.

The Cargo Daemon is a Web-based application that uses the Cargo API to configure, start and stop containers on a remote machine.
The daemon is meant to be listening 24/7, to allow users to deploy new containers and web applications at their command.
It can be accessed using a browser-based UI, via Java API or Maven2 plugin.
Why use the Cargo Daemon?
Most web containers (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty) provide built-in remote deployment facilities already, also many of them already have daemon integrations; so why use the Cargo Daemon?
- During intense redeployment (i.e., testing and even sometimes QA or production hot deployments): All of the remote deployment facilities that keep the JVM alive will eventually suffer from the dreaded
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen spaceexception if something in the web application is leaking memory.
Most web containers try their best to track down these 'dead' objects and forcefully remove them, but it does not always succeed to reclaim the memory. With a leaking web application, the available memory starts to shrink after each redeploy, and eventually the memory is exhausted.
The only solution to this is to kill the JVM, and restart it. And that is exactly what the Cargo Daemon tries to manage. It will try to shutdown the web application cleanly, but if that fails it will forcefully kill the JVM.
It is the only way to guarantee that a new version of your web application always starts when you want it to.
- In heterogeneous environments: With Cargo, the way you configure the container is independent from the underlying server -you can set the different configuration properties, define datasources, add deployables, etc. transparently. You can therefore use the Cargo Daemon as a container-independent daemon, with support for the generation of the proper configuration on all supported containers.
- During upgrades and/or application server product evaluations: As Cargo is not dependent on the application server nor on its version, you can easily reuse an existing Cargo Daemon setup to use it for another version of a container, or another container altogether; without having to worry about understanding how to configure it.
Table of Contents
The documentatation for the Cargo Daemon includes:
- Installation: explains how to install and run the daemon
- Getting started: very quick guide on using the daemon
To install and run the Cargo Daemon:
- Download the Cargo Daemon from the Downloads page
- Execute by typing:
where <version> is the version number of the daemon that you have downloaded.
By default, the Cargo Daemon will run on HTTP port
18000. To change it, use the
-p option:
Additionally, Cargo Daemon will save log files in the cargo home directory unless the
-nologging option is used.
Note that the Cargo Daemon is a WAR file; you can actually also deploy it as a WAR on any existing container. This can be useful if you want to, for example, reuse a certain security configuration.
The daemon also accepts other parameters, in the form of system properties:
Property name
Default value
Directory in which the standaone daemon server stores its files. These include the temporary files (such as its own WAR and server temporary files) as well as the server log files (
This property is not used and completely ignored if the daemon WAR file is deployed on an existing container.
Directory in which the daemon (be it standalone or deployed on an existing container) stores the list of containers, downloaded container archives, container logs, etc.
Note that the standalone daemon by default sets this to
Getting started using the browser UI
To use the Cargo Daemon via the browser UI, simply open
http://<machine>:<port>/ -where
<machine> is the machine host name or IP address and
<port> is the port number used (default is
- To start a container, fill in the form and press Start:
- To stop, restart, delete or view logs of a container, use the actions on the containers list:
- The Cargo Daemon keeps a persistent record on disk of all the containers that have been submitted. Containers that have been submitted will stay in the list, even when they are stopped. This allows you to manually restart them, or view the logs even after the container is stopped.
- If you want the container to be removed from the list, simply press the delete button.
- Containers can also be submitted with the
autostartproperty, this will automatically restart the container if the daemon notices it is stopped.
Getting started with the Java API / Maven2/Maven3 plugin
As stated before, the Cargo Daemon is also available programmatically:
- The details of the Java API can be seen on the Javadoc for o.c.c.tools.daemon.DaemonClient
- The details of the configuration for the Maven2/Maven3 plugin is documented in the Daemon configuration section of the Maven2/Maven3 plugin reference guide and the example can be seen via the Daemon archetype.

Comments about Dia Tech Diatech Tech-77 Brake Lever:
Great lever super strong and light. The bar clamp has a weird pivot that sticks out though. If you have a narrow grip i highly suggest using flanged grips.
Best Uses
Comments about Dia Tech Diatech Tech-77 Brake Lever:
I bought these levers for a 4-year old nephew's first bike. The levers are the smallest I could find, with a very short finger reach and cable pull. The cable pull is too short for even mini V-brakes. so I had to use a cable gear-up mechanism. (There was no room for cantilever brakes on such a small 16-inch-wheel bike.)
The levers are well finished and good-looking.
Best Uses
Comments about Dia Tech Diatech Tech-77 Brake Lever:
So Jensons failed to stipulate these are for a 22.2mm handle bar. I have other similar Diatech levers I use on my fixed gear bike. Ordered these thinking they were the same but wont fit.....
Possibly my fault but I think the description should also stipulate.
Otherwise the lever is a solid sturdy design. I like the hinge clamp so you dont have to remove grips to take them off. I have diatech Gold Finger levers which are a step up from these. These Tech-77 levers dont have a reach adjust screw which I find impotant to get the lever sitting at the right place for your hands especially if you have smaller hands.
Good price for what you get and a solid basic levere. Just make sure they will fit your bars!
Comments about Dia Tech Diatech Tech-77 Brake Lever:
Quickly clamps to bars of most sizes, nice and compact, easy smooth pull. Really hard to beat it for 16 bucks.

The Iran hostage thriller "Argo" was a surprise best-drama winner at Sunday's Golden Globes, beating out the Civil War epic "Lincoln," which had emerged as an awards-season favorite.
"Argo" also claimed the directing prize for Ben Affleck, a prize that normally bodes well for an Academy Award win – except he missed out on an Oscar nomination this time.
Affleck's now in an unusual position during Hollywood's long awards season, taking home the top filmmaking trophy at the second-highest film honors knowing he does not have a shot at an Oscar.
And the night left "Argo" taking home the top prize at the Globes but standing as a longshot for best picture at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where films almost never win if their directors are not nominated.
In a breathless, rapid-fire speech, Affleck gushed over the names of other nominees presenter Halle Berry had read off: Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln," Ang Lee for "Life of Pi," Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty" and Quentin Tarantino for "Django Unchained."
"Look, I don't care what the award is. When they put your name next to the names she just read off, it's an extraordinary thing in your life," Affleck said.
"Les Miserables" was named best musical or comedy, while Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway claimed acting prizes.
Besides the three wins for "Les Miserables" and two for "Argo," the show was a mixed bag, with awards spreads around a number of films. "Lincoln" came in leading with seven nominations but lost all but one, for Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in the title role of "Lincoln."
"If I had this on a timeshare basis with my wonderful gifted colleagues, I might just hope to keep it for one day of the year, and I'd be happy with that," said Day-Lewis, who previously won a Globe for "There Will Be Blood" and is a two-time Oscar winner with a strong shot at a third.
"Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain won the Globe for dramatic actress as a CIA agent obsessively pursuing Bin Laden.
Other acting prizes went to Jennifer Lawrence as best musical or comedy actress for the oddball romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for the slave-revenge tale "Django Unchained."
"Les Miserables," the musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel earned Jackman the Globe for musical or comedy actor as tragic hero Jean Valjean. Hathaway won supporting actress as a single mom forced into prostitution.
"Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt," Hathaway said.
Jackman was a bit hoarse from the flu, but his Globe win seemed to be the right antidote.
"I was kicking myself for not getting the flu shot, but it appears that you don't need one. I feel great," Jackman said.

Results vs. Newberry (2007-10-16 16:00:00)
October 16, 2007
|Pfeiffer Ties Newberry 0-0
|Tuesday, 16 October 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---The Pfeiffer women's soccer team tied Newberry College 0-0 in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon. Newberry came into the game ranked #7 in the Southeast Region. Pfeiffer now stands at 8-6-3 on the year. Newberry is now 7-4-5.
The first fifteen minutes was back and forth with neither team able to gain control of the flow of the game.
In the 17th minute Newberry came close to scoring the first goal. Brooke Tumblin broke free and beat the keeper but her shot into the open goal was cleared at the last second by Falcon defender Kristen Brahosky.
Pfeiffer had one good scoring chance in the first half. Kirsten Bartsch took a through pass and went in one-v-one with the Indian goalie but her shot was stopped.
At halftime the game was scoreless.
Both defenses continued their oustanding play in the second half and there were no good scoring opportunities.
In the second overtime Angela Reale took a pass on the right side of the field beat three defenders as she made her way to goal but the Newbery goalie made a nice save to keep the game scoreless.
With a little over a minute left a Newbery cross found Sara Geisman open at the back post but her header went well over the crossbar.
Pfeiffer outshot Newberry 9-8 fo the game.
Suzie Hinman made four saves for the Falcons. Danielle Beckerle made five saves for Newberry.
Pfeiffer will return to action next Wednesday, the 24th, when they travel to Queens for a 7:00 pm game.

Selected: Magdalenska gora
Its exceedingly well preserved prehistoric settlement with man-made terraces and defensive rampart, its great number of family mounds, its lively history of archaeological research and rich archaeological finds put Magdalene mountain among the best known archaeological sites in Slovenia. Most of the finds date between the 8th century B.C. and 1st century B.C. and some finds are from Roman and Medieval times. They are kept in museums in Ljubljana, Vienna and Harvard. On the top of the hill, on the site of the acropolis of the ancient settlement, stands the church of St Magdalene, built in rustic gothic style. The church, first mentioned in writing in 1366 is dedicated to St Magdalene, a very vivacious woman, who became a saint when she met Jesus.
The walkway will guide you across the protected grounds of cultural heritage. The archaeological walkway–learning path enables you to see the remains of the Iron Age settlement and provides insight into the life of its ancient inhabitants.

The 1935 Ford was a thorough refresh on the popular V8-powered Ford. The four-cylinder Model A engine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221 in³ (3.6 L) V8 to power every Ford car and truck. The transverse leaf spring suspension remained, but the front spring was relocated ahead of the axle to allow more interior volume. The body was lowered and new "Center-Poise" seating improved comfort.
Visually, the 1935 Ford was much more modern with the grille pushed forward and made more prominent by de-emphasized and more-integrated fenders. A major advance was a true integrated trunk on "trunkback" sedans, though the traditional "flatback" was also offered. Outdated body styles like the Victoria were also deleted for the year.
Two trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles including a base roadster, five-window coupe, three-window coupe, Tudor and Fordor sedans in flatback or trunkback versions, a convertible sedan, a woody station wagon, and new Model 51 truck. Rumble seats were optional on coupe models.
Pictured here is a gorgeous 1:43 scale diecast replica of a 1935 Ford 2-door Nassau County "Ghost Patrol" police car. Sold Out!

The recent announcement that flags will be lowered to honor the victims of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings has added motivation to a local group who'd like to see the same honor given to Marines who died in a training incident last month.
President Obama and N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory recently used their authority to lower flags after the April 15 bombing at the Boston Marathon, which resulted in three dead and more than 170 wounded.
Camp Lejeune will host a service on Tuesday to honor seven Marines killed in a training incident in March, but flags aboard the base — and throughout the state — will remain at full staff.
"I don't see the difference between the two things," said Mary Mecozzi, a Marine wife whose husband is with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. "There were people hurt in both situations. I'm not trying to say the
She'd like to see the flags lowered for the Marines more so after the
"These are our husbands, brothers and family," Mecozzi said. "Even though we're not blood-related we are still family ... The flag that's being flown at half-mast in my yard is for the seven Marines of the Hawthorne incident."
A statement from the McCrory's office following the March 18 training deaths at Hawthorne Army Depot in
McCrory's office did not respond to The Daily News' request for additional comments.
Caty Bolinger, a 1st Battalion, 9th Marines wife, said that anyone who is touched by this story should lower their flags regardless of the governor's statement.
"Although the code is actually pretty clear, confusion can to occur," Camp Lejeune officials wrote in a press release. "For example, many flags are being flown at half-mast in honor of our fallen Marines. ...While we understand the good-natured intents of this gesture, the Flag Code does not give these individuals the authority to issue that order."
Both Bolinger and Mecozzi fly the flags at their homes at half-mast.
"You get to a deployment send off and hug the boys extra tight because you know there's a chance that they might not come back," said Bolinger, 22, of South River N.J. "You would never think in a million years they wouldn't come back from training.
"And even though their sacrifice wasn't directly on the battlefield they still deserve to be honored by all."

CLEVELAND, Ohio--In their first road contest of the 2013-14 season, the Miami men's swimming and diving team defeated Cleveland State 174.5-123.5 in the Robert F. Busbey Natatorium in Cleveland, Ohio.
Sophomore Evan Bader led the RedHawks earning 31 points, winning two individual events, placing in another and contributing to a relay win. Other tremendous performances were turned in by freshman Grant Stafford, sophomore Chris Dieter, and senior Michael Cavanaugh as Miami won 11 of 16 events.
Miami's 200 medley relay team of Bader, Stafford, sophomore Sean Neri and senior Dan Nemeth kicked off the meet with a win, just edging out Cleveland State's second-place team by four tenths of a second.
Bader would go on to win the 100 and 200 breaststroke in close races. He swam a time of 57.35 in the 100 breaststroke, beating out the Viking's swimmer by twelve hundredths of a second. Bader's time in the 200 breaststroke was four hundredths of a second faster than the next swimmer.
Bader also earned two points, finishing fourth (1:57.46) in the 200 IM behind Cavanaugh (1:55.06) and senior Andrew Kilkenny (1:57.22), who placed first and second respectively.
Stafford won two individual events in addition to being a member of the 200 medley relay team. He swept the 100 and 200 butterfly with times of 50.19 and 1:51.75. Cavanaugh finished second in both events with times of 50.66 and 1:52.52.
Dieter was a winner in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.47 and in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4:43.81. Kilkenny finished second in the 200 freestyle (1:43.34).
Other first-place finishers for the RedHawks were junior Joe Baumgartner, senior Sean Minderlein and sophomore Michael Nash. Baumgartner, who placed second in the 50 freestyle (20.82), tied for first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 45.59. Minderlein won a close race in the 1000 freestyle, just out-touching Cleveland State's second-place finisher by six tenths of a second. Nash was a winner in the one-meter dive with a score of 292.05 points and then finished second in the three-meter dive (305.55 points).
Sophomore Heshan Unamboowe earned second place points in both the 100 backstroke (51.58) and the 200 backstroke (1:54.24).
The Miami men return home to the Nixon Aquatic Center Saturday, Nov. 9, to take on Ohio State in their next contest at 11 a.m. They look to make it three straight wins.

SAN CLEMENTE – Captain Jack Van Dyke was under pressure.
He had been sailing the Clemente, a 65-foot sportfishing boat out of Dana Point, for nearly three hours Saturday night, and his fish scope hadn't beeped once.
More than 30 anglers were onboard, lured by recent news of huge Humboldt squid being fished abundantly off the coast from San Clemente to Laguna Beach. It was bitterly cold, and everyone was getting restless.
Then suddenly, a couple of miles off San Onofre State Beach, Van Dyke's fish finder showed a sonar mark 800 feet down. He parked the boat and alerted anglers.
"The squid attacked the boat," he said. "For 45 minutes it was like mayhem. If you dipped your line, you had a squid. You could see them all around the boat. They were glowing all around. It was like aliens."
In all, Van Dyke and his crew pulled in nearly 800 squid in 45 minutes. Then they spent two hours outside Dana Point Harbor cleaning and filleting them.
The Humboldt squid, weighing 5 to 20 pounds, have made news for a week after boat captains saw dark, burgundy-colored blobs at the surface outside Dana Point Harbor.
The giant squid, found mainly in 200 to 700 feet of water off Mexico and California, are going near the surface because — like whales and dolphins seen recently — they are feeding on an abundance of krill brought to the area by tidal flows.
On Sunday, 400 more squid were caught by two Dana Wharf Sportfishing boats, Kalez said.
In Newport Beach on Sunday, 15 anglers aboard a Davey's Locker fishing charter caught 340 squid. Most weighed 5 to 10 pounds.
"It was phenomenal," said Rob Arms, a deckhand aboard the boat. "They completely erupted around the boat. They were jumping all over the place. It was really cool."
The sightings of the giant squid are the first since September 2011, when anglers pulled in hundreds weighing 10 to 40 pounds, said Donna Kalez, who manages Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching at Dana Point Harbor.
Fishermen use fluorescent jibs to lure the creatures. By moving the pronged lure up and down, anglers entangle the squid and can pull them to the surface.
But making the final capture isn't easy. On Saturday, everyone on the Clemente was covered by water and squid ink. The squid were coming in so fast that the fishermen needed help each time they dropped a line. Van Dyke and his deckhands ran from angler to angler, helping to hoist in the squid. There was such a frenzy that squid caught on a jib were being attacked and eaten by other squid swimming around the boat, Van Dyke said.
"To do that for 45 minutes was crazy," Van Dyke said. "We took breaks just to bag the squids and clean our deck. Finally, after 45 minutes I said 'enough.' "

U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced today the Department is accepting applications for up to $184 million over three to five years to accelerate the development and deployment of new efficient vehicle technologies that will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, save drivers money, and limit carbon pollution. Projects will span the broad spectrum of technology approaches, including advanced materials, combustion research, hybrid electric systems, fleet efficiency, and fuels technology.
"These awards will help ensure America leads the world in the development of advanced vehicle technologies that support cost-competitive, convenient, and comfortable fuel-efficient vehicles," said Secretary Chu. "Investments in the next generation of vehicle technologies are laying the groundwork for a sustainable transportation sector in America that strengthens our economy and improves our economic competitiveness."
The Funding Opportunity Announcement addresses the development of key technologies required to achieve large scale adoption of advanced vehicles such as plug-in electric hybrids (PHEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). Although the first of a new generation of electric drive vehicles is now entering the market, advancements in batteries, power electronics and lightweight materials are required to be fully competitive. In addition, extremely efficient vehicles utilizing improved combustion technologies, fuels, and waste heat recovery offer significant near-term improvements to conventional vehicles.
The Department is seeking applications from industry, laboratory and university teams to address our transportation challenges. The solicitation seeks to fill gaps in the existing program through the development of enabling technologies that will remove barriers and create new paradigms in vehicle design.
The Funding Opportunity Announcement released today focuses on eight approaches to improving vehicle efficiency:
Applications for the solicitation are due February 28, 2011. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov to be considered for awards. The Department of Energy expects to announce the selections by summer 2011.

The Bulls have lost a number of senior players to overseas contracts and retirement. Danie Rossouw, Bakkies Botha, Gary Botha and Gurthro Steenkamp will continue their careers abroad, while Victor Matfield will hang up his boots after the Barbarians vs Wallabies clash at the end of the month.
Spies was up against Chiliboy Ralepelle for the Bulls captaincy, and the Bulls management felt the Bok No 8 was the right man to succeed Matfield. This despite Ralepelle's record at age group level (he captained the Baby Boks to a World Championship title in 2005) and the fact that he's already led the senior Bok team, albeit in two tour matches.
'It was not such a big surprise though, as I had it in the back of my mind that I could be asked to lead the team when Victor retired,' Spies said. 'I was privileged in my career at the Bulls and the Springboks to play with great captains and I could certainly learn a lot from them.
'I believe a captain should lead from the front and I hope that will be something that I can do successfully. There are huge challenges ahead, but we are all looking forward to that. This group is younger than in previous years, but we have the same goals as those squads and that is to win the competition.'
Meanwhile, Spies's vice-captain will be sidelined for the next two months. Olivier has undergone a shoulder operation and will only be available to the Bulls in early February.
'I like that responsibility. Anyone who wants to write off the Bulls because we lost players, do so at their own peril. I think we have a squad that can with the competition again. There are new faces, so there will be a challenge to make sure all share the same vision, but I see no problems in that. We have a great management team and coaching staff and they will get everyone to pull in the same direction.'
