It seems the entire rugby world is watching New Zealand at the moment – at least on World Cup weekends.
RWC 2011 confirmed the viewership figures of the semi-final play-offs and the greatest numbers were a 73% audience share in France.
Les Bleus may have played the worst rugby at this tournament, but the French public interest in their performance was at a record high.
Among the records broken included:
*Record New Zealand television audience watch New Zealand defeat Australia
* Biggest Australian television audience since RWC 2003
*73 per cent audience share in France as Les Bleus book Final place
*Highest audience of RWC 2011 in UK sees France beat Wales
In New Zealand a record 1.97 million cumulative television audience tuned in to the host nation's 20-6 semi-final victory over Australia via TV One, SKY, TV3 and Maori Television, not including the significant number who would have watched the compelling action in public venues across the country or online on demand.
Australians also tuned into the match in record numbers. A massive nationwide television audience of 3.23 million people watched the match – smashing the all-time Pay TV viewership record for Fox Sports and topping the free-to-air ratings on Channel Nine.
No Rugby match since the Rugby World Cup Final in 2003 has delivered an audience of the same magnitude in Australia. The tournament decider in Sydney eight years ago was watched by more than 4 million Australians. Channel Nine's free-to-air broadcast attracted 2.5 million viewers.
It was a similar picture in France where TF1 attracted an audience of 9.5 million for the semi-final between France and Wales despite the 10:00 kick-off time. The average audience for the match, which saw France secure their first place in a Final since 1999 was equal to a viewing share of 73 per cent.
In the United Kingdom, ITV registered its highest audience of RWC 2011 with an average of 5.9 million viewers watching France's 9-8 victory over Wales. The last 15 minutes of the match netted a peak audience of 6.6 million – a 58 per cent share.

Let's vote for me talking over his team.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I don't think the 2nd trade are worth vetoing, but the first and 3rd are.
Can we just get rid of trades all together? The way the draft was originally set up seems fair already. Undo every trade. The trades just cause confusion and controversy as well as slow things down. If we do stick with trades they should be a straight swapping of picks (swap of 2nds and 3rds, swap of 3rds and 4ths etc) rather than this mess.
No trades = no fun
I am at the bottom of the draft, for whatever reason. If I don't make trades, then I am screwed in this draft. I have to make trades. Don't be sore losers because I made good trades to improve my roster. Everyone saw that Kaitos was giving up high picks for a munch of middle round picks. My trade with him was more than fair. Rudy Gay is a mid-2nd round talent, and a 3rd, a 6th, and an 8th is more than enough to be considered fair compensation. There is always a winner and a loser in every trade.
You guys are mad because I pulled the trigger, and you guys missed out. I have to make these kinds of moves to compete with everyone at the top of the draft. This is complete BS. You guys are all sore losers.
Too much drama. I'd rather not be involved in all the bickering. BallSoHard, if you want to take my team, you can. I've got Rondo and a second round pick coming up.
First off slim, you don't know any of us or what we think
second You can draft two allstars i think that's equal to Lebron/good starter. If you want to swap picks with me if we re-draft then that's fine. It's about how you draft not about how you trade
Just veto the darn trades!
But if you get rid of the trading period this, will be boring & the worst league ever!
Trade after the draft. I'm for no more trading picks.
could u guys just stop fighting? I dont wanna lose people like JNR and you both make valid points, neither one is being as ridiculous as you are making them out to be. Bee-Ball I appreciate the feedback and ideas from others, "complain" all you want
And there are trades, however I have to approve them from now on
Last edited by speedyG; 05-08-2012 at 04:25 PM.
Slim you were complaining before you got the trade AND now your being a jerk.
I'm just sick of him complaining. It's cool though. I quit. Do whatever you want with my picks. I can't believe this **** actually went down this way. It's really a shame....
Thank you, I know we are both biased, but let's just leave it up to rbow who is completely neutral in this matter to make a decision and live with the outcome.
And how did you know i was always the last picked in PE

Gaz Metan Medias have squeezed out a hard-fought 70-68 win over Tartu Rock in Group D EuroChallenge action in Estonia on Tuesday night.
The game went down right to the wire as Tartu's Egidijus Dimsa deliberately missed a free throw in the hope of an offensive rebound with one second left, but Deven Mitchell grabbed the loose ball to preserve the win.
Medias had watched an eight-point lead disappear as Tartu tied it up at 65-65 with 86 seconds left, setting up a tense finish.
Slobodan Dundjerski put Medias back in front with a three-pointer 30 seconds out from full time, and Justin Ingram missed a three for Tartu, instead hitting a pair of free throws following Rares Mandache's turnover.
Ivan Ivanovic held his nerve at the line to make it 70-67 to Medias with eight ticks left and Tartu then blew a couple of chances to force overtime at the end.
Ingram missed another three, and then Valmo Kriisa missed a pair of free throws, the second deliberately to get the rebound.
Get it they did, but Dimsa could not take full advantage thanks to Mitchell's rebound.
Michael St. John led Medias with 17 points while Mitchell had 16.
Dimsa led Tartu with 15 points while Ingram added 14 and Kristo Saage 11.
It is Tartu's second defeat in as many EuroChallenge games while Medias move to 2-0.
Gaz Metan Medias player Michael St John"The game was very up and down and with a lot of emotions. It started pretty even, we were down by half-time so we had to fight our way back to the game. We got a little bit of comfort with the eight point lead, but then we let them back in. Emotions were high and low, but we stuck together to make the plays down the stretch when we needed."
Gaz Metan Medias head coach Marcel Den Tenter"It was a very tough game today. As both teams scored few points the value of every point was huge. They totally dominated us in offensive rebounding - they had 21 offensive rebounds which is almost to the limit of unbelievable. We knew that this team was very good at offensive rebounds, but we could not do too much about it. I think we compensated with controlling the main players of Tartu. We did not allow them too many easy and open shots. With this we dropped their percentage and we could control the result during the game. I'm very happy that my players understood the effort that is needed for this level."
Tartu University/Rock head coach Gert Kullamäe"We were picked apart in the end of third quarter and in the beginning of the fourth with pick-and-roll offence and our defensive game did not hold up. And in some moments our offence did not work as well and became too one-sided. When you look at the numbers it is difficult to understand how we could lose a game where we dominated the boards 42:24, but then again we made 22 turnovers."

SLIDELL- The signs and smell of flames and smoke still linger in and around the Acker family trailer in Slidell, three days after it caught fire.
'I was at Bible study at my church and at 8 o'clock, we left,'recalled Laura Acker. 'On the way home, we seen fire trucks en route somewhere and come to find out it was my house up in flames.'
Even though family, friends and the Red Cross came to their aid with support, finding a temporary home for two adults and four children, ages 15 years to five months, became an unexpected challenge.
'The Red Cross man came out to help us get in a hotel and due to Mardi Gras, the hotels were booked,' said Acker.
Once word spread about the trouble, a call was made to the Northshore Disaster Recovery Group, or Epworth Project, which immediately stepped up to help.
'I had a conversation with Dale Kimball with the Northshore Recovery group, last week,' said Chad Duffaut with St. Tammany Fire District #1, 'He told me if we ever had any fire victims that needed assistance to notify him, he had a place for them to stay.'
'This is a perfect opportunity to use the facility that we built for what it was built for, to house a family that's in crisis,' said Dale Kimball, Executive Director of Northshore Disaster Recovery, Inc. and the Epworth Project.
'We called so many people for help, and no one would help,' said Acker, 'But for you to make a simple call and there's help on the other end.. words can't even explain how I feel to know that it's not the end.'
And the family's new beginning can start three miles from home.
She said, 'I have faith and I know that as long as I walk in faith, everything is going to be okay.'
While their stay with the organization includes a roof, basic clothes and food, the family of six is still in need of long-term clothing, especially uniforms for the children.
Sizes for the family include: Mother- 20 to 22 Women, Father- 46 Men, 15-yr-old girl- 5 Junior, 10-yr-old girl- 12 Junior, 5-year-old boy- 6T, 5-month-old girl- 12mths
All donations can be dropped off at New Beginning Ministry at 36196 Oceola St. in Slidell. Contact Minister Carol Hughes (985-640-3156) or Pastor Frankie Hughes (504-615-9346) or Laura Acker (985-710-0770).
A benefit will be held for the family Friday, March 2 at 6 p.m., also at New Beginning Ministry Church.

Andrea Neil Retires

Click here to read tributes from former teammates and coaches of Andrea Neil
"It was through long and difficult deliberation that I decided to retire as a player from international and domestic competition," says Neil. "It was important for me to leave at a time whereby I still have a deep passion and respect for the game. I would like to thank those involved with both the Canadian Soccer Association and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. I have loved every step of the journey."
Neil joined the national program in 1990 and made her senior-team debut on 19 April 1991 in Haiti at a CONCACAF women's tournament. She was only 19 years old at the time. Three years later, she took part in her second CONCACAF women's tournament, this time in Montréal, QC. Neil scored two goals in three games as Canada qualified for its first FIFA Women's World Cup.
Neil's final game was 15 September 2007 in Hangzhou at the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007. It was not only Canada's fourth FIFA Women's World Cup appearance, but Neil's fourth, too. In between Sweden 1995 and China 2007, Neil took part in USA 1999 and USA 2003. At USA 2003, Neil helped Canada finish fourth overall.
From 2001 to 2006, Neil played for the Vancouver Whitecaps (originally known as the Breakers). She was the club's captain for the first six years of the franchise's existence and was a player/assistant coach for the last three seasons. In 2004 and 2006, she led the club to two USL W-League championships. She left the Whitecaps as the club's all-time leader in assists (22), minutes played (6,066) and games (69). The native of Vancouver, BC, also ranks third for points (70), and is tied for third with goals (24) and game-winning goals (8).
In 2007, Neil spent the year in a residency program with the Canadian women's national team. In preparation for China 2007, she helped Canada win a bronze medal at the XV Pan American Games Rio 2007 (she scored two goals in the competition). One month later in Canada's final tune-up on 30 August 2007 in Tokyo, Japan, Neil captain the Canadian squad in her 131st appearance with the senior team.
Neil retires after 18 seasons, four FIFA Women's World Cups and 132 caps with the Canadian senior team (102 of which came under coach Even Pellerud). She also scored 24 goals over the course of her career, including one hat trick at the 2002 Algarve Cup against Scotland (a 3:0 win).
In her final season, Neil also helped the Canadian women's program reach an all-time high in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings – ninth best in the world. Canada's senior women's team, whose title sponsor is Winners, is currently in phase one of their preparations for the 2008 Olympic qualifications.
… a role model for Canadians ...
"Andrea represented the Canadian women's national team in more games than any other player," says Dominic Maestracci, Canadian Soccer Association chairman of the board. "Since her first selection to the team in 1991 up until her most recent participation in the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007, Andrea has been a role model for all Canadian players. I hope that she will continue to put her experience and her leadership qualities to the benefit of soccer in Canada."
... a pioneer in women's football
"She has been one of the pioneers in women's football," says Victor Montagliani, Canadian Soccer Association vice-president and chair of the national teams committee. "She is the exact role model that we look for in our game. Hopefully, she will continue to be involved in the game."
... she has been instrumental ... influential ... valuable ...
"Andrea Neil has been instrumental in the evolvement and continuous progress of the women's soccer program - and that is an understatement," says Even Pellerud, head coach of the Canadian senior women's team. "As the senior team gradually took on a professional atmosphere and required full-time dedication, the demands on the players became tougher. This culture shift was only possible because of the skills and leadership capability that Andrea provided.
"Never in my professional coaching career of more than 20 years has an athlete been so influential. Never has one of my players been a closer ally to my coaching and my leadership as has Andrea. A lot of pages have been turned, but she was always there, unselfishly ready to help the staff and the players, adopting and promoting new ideas and new challenges.
"When Andrea now goes in a new direction, we all have the strong hope that she returns to this game and to this program sooner rather than later. Her leadership and her personality are too valuable to lose."
... very professional attitude ...
"From her very first involvement with the national team, Andrea proved she possessed a very professional attitude towards the game," says Sylvie Béliveau, former coach of the Canadian senior women's team. "Andrea has always been a hard-working player that is easy to coach. With experience, she has become a very positive leader for the team and a true role model. It has been a real pleasure to work with such an athlete and I hope Canada can continue to benefit from her experience as a leader."
... relentless commitment ...
"Andrea is the ultimate pioneer and ambassador," said Bob Lenarduzzi, Vancouver Whitecaps FC President. "Her relentless commitment to growing women's soccer in Canada is second to none. She is a natural leader and was instrumental during the Whitecaps two W-League championships, 2004 and 2006."

Hi friends! I grew up in a small town near New Orleans and have been in Campus Ministry at SLU for seven years, and I love the work I do and being at SLU. I coordinate a number of programs including the Nature Retreat, Monday Maniacs, the Advent and Lent daily reflection websites, and the Campus Ministry website and Facebook page. I am very fortunate also to coordinate Campus Ministry's Intern Program and to lead the spring break trip to the Navajo Nation, where I lived for several years before coming to SLU. I also advise a myriad of student groups, from Habitat for Humanity to the Wilderness Adventure Club to Big Brothers Big Sisters. My wife Cristina and I love St. Louis and are always looking for new and exciting places in the city.

Although my day job is in the medical device industry, I have had the pleasure of working for campus ministry as the the music coordinator for the better part of 20 years. My ministry started when at the age of 10 I first took an interest in the church organ. I applied my budding piano skills, taught myself a few chords and started regularly playing the 7:30am mass and all-school masses at St. Joe's in Cottleville, MO. Over the years, SLU's Mass Choir has grown from a small ensemble for Sunday evening student liturgies to 50-60 singers and 12-15 pieces in the band/orchestra. I am proud to have been part of the core planning team for the Papal Youth Rally in 1999, music director of Youth Sing Praise (Belleville, IL) in 1998 and 1999, and music minister for hundreds of weddings, funerals, and services over the past 30+ years. I am serving presently on the liturgy planning committee for the National Association of Pastoral Ministers' national convention which is going to be in St. Louis next summer.

Namaste Billikens! I am delighted to join the Campus Ministry staff this year and be back on a college campus once again as one of the campus ministers in Griesedieck Hall. Born and raised in Missouri, my hometown is Jefferson City, but I have enjoyed living in St. Louis for the last two years where I worked at a local Catholic Publishing Company as an acquisitions editor. Prior to that I spent a year with the Salesian Lay Mission Program where I served in Tumkur, India and Kathmandu, Nepal. My graduate degree is from the University of Dayton where I also worked as a graduate assistant campus minister in residence life. From 2001 to 2006, I was the full time campus minister at the Newman Center on Mizzou's (UMC) campus. My leisurely activities include reading, writing, drinking coffee, gardening, running, travel, and spending time in the great outdoors.

Greetings! I'm Rachel Kondro, Campus Minister in Reinert Hall. This year will be my third working in Campus Ministry, but my personal history with SLU goes back a bit farther than that. I earned my B.A. and M.A. at SLU, and went through RCIA offered by Campus Ministry during graduate school. I was confirmed and received first communion at St. Francis Xavier College Church during the Easter season of 2008 and began ministry at SLU in the fall of 2011. In addition to working in Reinert, I advise the Students for Life, co-direct the Christian Life Communities (CLC), and help to mentor our Campus Ministry interns. I am also part of the leadership teams for the Encounter and Fresh Look retreats. In my free time, I love running in Forest Park, reading in coffee shops, crocheting gifts for friends and family, and soaking in the arts, culture, and entertainment around St. Louis. Fun facts: I am the oldest of three homeschooled kids, have two cats, might be slightly addicted to Sriracha hot sauce, geek out over ancient Church history, and speak German rather poorly.

I have been in Campus Ministry here at SLU for only a year having come from teaching at De Smet Jesuit High School in St. Louis for 22 years. During those years I taught Sacraments and English. My office is in Fusz where I see a number of students coming by and just wanting to talk. Besides office hours I work in Bible study with the Greeks called GRIP (Greeks Rooted In Prayer) and Grad student second Sunday dinners. My interests are reading, going out for dinner, visiting the art museum, and going to the movies.

Hello! This will be my second year working at SLU and I am thrilled to be working with in the Micah Progam and Campus Ministry Interns this year and in Marguerite and Pruellage Halls! I grew up Cincinnati, OH and began my journey at SLU as an undergrad when I studied Psychology and Theology. After a year as a campus ministry intern and a couple years working in a parish, I decided a career in campus ministry was the right path for me. I am also on the leadership team for the Fresh Look retreat, facilitate a CLC, coordinate music for our monthly Taizé prayer service, and help with weekly Spanish Mass. When I'm not working I love exploring the city on my bike, taking runs through forest park, getting coffee/brunch with friends, reading poetry, enjoying the local music scene, and traveling all over the world.

I'm not sure how I discovered Lillet, an orange-infused apéritif wine, made in a town on a road between Sauternes and Bordeaux, but I remember driving through the area and making my friend screech to a halt when we (almost) passed the Lillet factory.
Factory probably isn't the best word, but macerbatorium probably sounds a little dodgy, but when we walked in, we found ourselves in front of an astounding amount of oranges and shards of bark, bobbing up and down, as they macerated in vats of wine. While that was certainly a riveting sight, equally enticing was the silver daddy who was very easy on the eyes, who took us through the facility, explaining the process of making the famed apéritif wine, then joining us for a little dégustation.
It was hard to concentrate on the beverages clinking in our glasses, but I did my best. (I swear.) And I bought a bottle as a souvenir, likely as a pretext for letting us snap a picture of the two of us together, which had a hallowed place over my desk for well over a decade. I don't know what happened to that picture, but I still pine for Lillet to this day. Interestingly, it's rare that you find Lillet served in Paris and if you ask around, you'd be hard-pressed to find very many people in town that even know what it is. (Readers of The Sweet Life in Paris know what I was served the first time I tried to order it in a café, which I'm still living down.)

Hockey Postgame Notes
Miami vs. Alaska
Friday, February 1, 2013
Steve Cady Arena - Oxford, Ohio
- Miami defeated Alaska Friday night, 4-1, extending its winning streak to four games, which ties a season long (Nov. 17-Dec. 7). The RedHawks now have a record to 16-6-5 and 11-4-4-4 in the CCHA. The win snapped the Nanooks' six-game winning streak and seven-game unbeaten streak. Miami has now beaten Alaska seven straight times dating back to Mar. 11, 2011. Miami has won three consecutive home games and its record at Steve Cady Arena this year stands at 9-1-3.
- Miami continued to receive exceptional play from its penalty kill unit, which killed all six RedHawks penalties Friday night. The 'Hawks have killed their past 26 opponent power plays dating back to Jan. 11 and 44 of their last 45 opponent man advantages going back to Dec. 8. Miami ranks third nationally with a 90.2 percent penalty kill while its 111 kills are second in the country.
- Freshman goaltender Jay Williams saved 24-of-25 shots that he faced Friday night, allowing one goal or less for the seventh time this season. Williams has limited opponents to two goals or less in each of his last 13 starts and just one goal in each of his last three. He has given up just 18 goals during that span of 13 games and 10 goals in his last nine starts.
- Miami has held opponents to one goal in each of its last five games while giving up one goal or less in 12 of its last 16 contests. The RedHawks have limited the opposition to two goals or less in 19 of their last 20 games. Miami ranks first nationally, giving up just 1.52 goals per game.
- Sophomore forward Blake Coleman netted his sixth goal of the season with a first-period tally. His last goal prior to Friday night came Dec. 15 (at Ohio State), a span of nine games. Fellow sophomore forward Cody Murphy found the net for the game-winner and his seventh goal of the season. He now has three goals in his last three games, including two game-winners.
- Several RedHawks snapped pointless streaks with their assists in Friday night's game. Sophomore forward Alex Wideman's assist was his first point since Dec. 1, when the RedHawks played the Nanooks in Fairbanks. The 12-game pointless streak was the longest of the season for Wideman. Redshirt senior forward Marc Hagel and freshman forward Kevin Morris both snapped 11-game pointless streaks, dating back to Dec. 8 (vs. LSSU). Hagel finished with two assists, his first multi-assist game as a RedHawk and just his second multi-point game at Miami.
- Sophomore forward Austin Czarnik netted two empty-net goals in the span of 27 seconds during the final minute of Friday night's action. Czarnik tied his career high of two goals in a game, his third multi-goal game this year and fourth of his career. With the goals, he also recorded his ninth multi-point night this season.
- Sophomores accounted for all four of Miami's goals Friday. The second-years have now scored 33 of Miami's 66 goals on the season, which is 50.0 percent.
- Miami scored twice in the first period for the second consecutive game. Prior to the 'Hawks recent success in the opening frame, Miami had just two first-period goals in its previous 12 games (from Dec. 1-Jan. 25).
- Freshman defenseman Matthew Caito earned an assist on Miami's third goal, extending his point streak to a career-long four games. He now has seven points in his last six games while his 14 points on the year equal the rest of Miami's blueliners combined.
- Miami was held to just 22 shots on goal Friday, marking a season low. The RedHawks' season low prior to Friday was 24 shots in the season opener Oct. 12 vs. Colgate, also a RedHawk win.
- The RedHawks improved to 12-0-1 when scoring three or more goals this year while Miami is now 13-2-1 when scoring first this year, as it did Friday.

Hampsteadpete, I completely agree with every word you said. Did you happen to catch the debate on C-span yesterday between William Dembski, a leading proponent of Intelligent Design, and a scientist who defended evolution? Michael Shermer, the famous skeptic was also on the panel.
No, I did not catch the debate, but I am reading Shermer's latest book. A few months ago, I wrote a letter to the editor of my local paper that was published. It was a brief anti-creationism piece, and generated some debate. I also received a letter from a local Christian taking issue with some of the things I said, and bringing forth "all the usual suspects" such people use to debate evolution. Below is my response to him. I post it here as an example of the kind of thing we all have to begin doing to fight this stuff. If we dont, who will? We cant depend on the scientists, they are busy pushing back the frontiers for all of us. Thank you for your kind words, by the way.
Dear Mr. Stephens:
You seem to be a gentleman, so I will endeavor to treat you as such. Interesting that you have "never done this before," as you have responded to my first and only letter to the editor. My letter was prompted by a desire to share the organization's web site with anyone who felt as I do. Of course, the paper edited that part out, and left me hanging there just ranting with seemingly no purpose. Nevertheless, I wrote the words they printed, and take full responsibility for them.
I try never to practice "contempt prior to investigation." As a result, when I moved to this area from the northeast in the early 90's and discovered the widespread belief in something I thought had been settled years ago, I set out to see what all the fuss was about. I am not a professional scientist, and don't claim to be. However, I have made a lifelong study of geology, astronomy, and biology. In recent years, I have added genetics and yes, creation "science."
I have read the books by Johnson, Milton, Wells ("Icons" is probably the most dishonest ID book of all), Denton, Behe, and others, all the way back to Paley. Dozens of them. I have thoroughly investigated web sites such as http://www.christiananswers.net, the discovery institute, ICR and others. I have read relevant papers produced by creationist and ID adherents. (They are hard to find as they aren't in any of the mainstream publications as they don't pass peer review). What I found during my careful examination was worse than I expected. I found many, many instances of everything from outright lies and manipulation to misrepresentation and fraud! Papers that reference other papers that either do not exist, or say something totally different than the paper implies. Twisted logic that leads nowhere. On and on. It is pseudoscience! I am not going to list examples. If you would like some, let me know, I can provide you with plenty.
Behe is, by far, the most talented of the ID proponents. He is probably no friend of yours, as he fully accepts the validity of the geological ages and the fossil record, he merely disputes the ability of natural selection to produce complex structures. Basically what you were getting at in your letter. His arguments, while well stated, contain a basic flaw: contrary to Behe's claims, the evidence of evolution in the fossil record is not irrelevant to his argument. It has forced him, for the sake of consistency, to cobble his acceptance of the earth's well-documented natural history together with the doctrine of intelligent design. The result is an absolutely hopeless genetic fantasy of "pre-formed" genes waiting for the organisms that might need them to gradually appear. This absurdity is the unavoidable result of trying to make "design" conform to that troublesome fossil record. The very same fossil record that provides the primary evidence for evolution.
You mentioned entropy in your letter. Duane Gish, a leading proponent of your point of view, claims that the Second Law of Thermodynamics makes evolution impossible. The argument is based on classical thermodynamics which only apply to closed systems which are near thermodynamic equilibrium. If you look at the entire system, energy goes from a form able to do work to low-temperature thermal energy unable to do work. This is very loosely associated with the idea that a closed system becomes more disorderly as time goes on. If this argument were true, life would be impossible! Consider an egg, which starts out as a simple mixture of liquid yolk and white, but which organizes itself into a chicken if kept at 100 degrees F for three weeks! The Second Law is obeyed throughout, and the chicken contains less useful (chemical) energy than did the yolk - the difference being the heat produced by the metabolism of the developing chick. The secret is that the egg is far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and only part of the system becomes organized—the part not converted to chick becomes very simple carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.
Similarly, open thermodynamic systems can be organized by importing energy. Your bedroom tends to get messy, but may become more organized if you import your energy and clean it up. The entropy in the room is decreased by your efforts, but by far less than the amount associated with the energy your body used during the cleanup. The Earth imports vast amounts of energy from the Sun, and a minuscule amount of this is used to produce biological order.
Ilya Prigogine received the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physics for showing that a thermodynamic system that can import energy, or one that is far from equilibrium (i.e. with lots of available energy) not only can, but often must, form organized structures. Only the usual laws of chemistry and physics are needed. Consider a drop of salt water evaporating due to imported heat. The salt changes from a liquid to a more-orderly solid. The net result is increased entropy, but the salt part has nevertheless become more organized. This is a direct consequence of the Second Law (Prigogine et al., Physics Today, Nov. 1972, p. 23ff, Dec. 1972, p. 38ff). The Second Law of Thermodynamics thus appears to be an instrument of creation.
In any case, the fact is that "scientific creationism" is not a genuine scientific theory. It is an attempt to use scientific-sounding arguments to uphold a religious belief, the belief that the creation story told in the Bible is literally true. The scientific method starts with a question, like, "Why are some fossil animals so different from the animals around us today?" and finds the answer through observation and experiment. The creationist method starts with an answer, then looks for evidence that seems to fit. Another important difference is that science uses natural explanations of natural events. Scientists study natural processes occurring in the world around them, find out how they work, and apply the principles they learn to new questions. They never use miracles as explanations. "Scientific creationism" depends on miracles; its explanations assume that there have been exceptions to the laws of nature. This means that "scientific creationism" is unscientific by definition!
You mentioned that evolution is not a fact but only a "theory", it is only a guess, no better than any other. But in science, a theory is a statement of general principles that explain many facts by means of natural processes. The proposition that the planets revolve around the sun (Copernican theory) explains a great many astronomical facts and also is considered true beyond a reasonable doubt. In the same way, geological examination of rocks demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that the earth is extremely old. The theory of evolution explains a tremendous number of biological and paleontological facts, and it, too, is true beyond a reasonable doubt. Nevertheless, all these theories could be altered or replaced if new observations yielded new scientific evidence that contradicted predictions of these theories. Creationism, on the other hand, is not even a theory because its proponents have decided in advance that no amount of evidence will change their beliefs.
This debate isn't about science anyway, its about religion. You know it, I know it, and Dembski of Discovery even admitted it. The strategy is good old fashioned frog boiling. Use ID as a wedge to water things down a bit before dropping the main agenda. Unfortunately, the overwhelming scientific ignorance in this country is very favorable to you, and ID on the surface looks so innocuous. It is too easy for you to confuse the general public with your misrepresentations, junk science and outright lies. This is exactly what just happened in Ohio. The Santorum amendment was stripped from the education bill in 2001, but that's not the story the Ohio board of Ed was told.
Of course, the real agenda is to eventually replace most if not all science teaching with superstition. Don't you see that this contributes as much to the dumbing down of America MTV or the Simpsons? I have no problem with the Christian religion. I truly don't understand why you fundamentalists need to adopt the old testament creation myth literally, when all of the other Christian sects seem to be OK with a more liberal interpretation. I also don't appreciate the attempts to make your religion part of the public school curriculum!
If you want to teach your religion's creation myth to your children as fact, that is none of my business. If you want to teach it in your Sunday schools, private schools, Bob Jones, whatever, you certainly have my blessing. If you wish to raise a couple of generations of scientifically illiterate children I really don't care. But I will do whatever I can whenever I can to keep these ideas out of the public schools, for they don't belong there. Fortunately, the US Supreme Court in the Edwards decision agrees with me.
You seem like a reasonable man, do some investigating on your own. But remember, the most important thing is to check the sources! In Evolution—the Fossils Say No! (1979, p. 171-72), Gish quotes Stephen J. Gould of Harvard: " little later he [Gould] states: `The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change…´." What Dr. Gould actually wrote was, "The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change, and the principle of natural selection does not require it—selection can operate rapidly." (Natural History 86:22, 1977) This is but one example of the ICR's routine use of out-of-context quotes to "support" their positions. Always check the original source! They also like to use outdated sources or papers later found to be in error.
In July of 1982, Dr. Gish debated Dr. Russell Doolittle on Public TV. Gish claimed that some blood proteins were more similar between bullfrogs and man than between chimpanzees and man. His source was a story told by Garniss Curtis (UC-Berkeley) at the July, 1971 Wenner-Gren conference in Austria. It seems there was a rumor of a study comparing blood proteins of humans and bullfrogs that gave the above result (perhaps from the Transylvanian Academy of Sciences?). Curtis predicted (correctly) that the result would not be published or repeated, because it was a dreadful tragedy—the frog was actually an enchanted prince!
Gish defends himself by saying he thought Curtis was serious! I, for one, believe Gish—he has made a career out of going around telling jokes and calling them science, and I find it easy to believe he can't tell the difference. This is another example of why you should always require and check the original source for claims made by the Institute for Creation Research. The results are often very interesting! Please feel free to check any of my sources as well.
One final note. Does fairness demand that creationism should be taught alongside evolution? Creationists argue that, "You can´t prove that evolution is true (you weren´t there, it´s just a theory) and you can´t prove that creationism is false, so it´s only fair to teach both." By this argument, astrology, which is based on supernatural forces, should be taught alongside astronomy. And witch doctors, who use supernatural forces to explain disease, should be taught in our medical schools. This is a mistaken notion of fairness.
The fact is, our students are taught science so they can learn to accurately observe facts and to understand how scientific theories are developed. Bringing in religious creeds and supernatural explanations can only impair their ability to understand how science works. Our children deserve to gain scientific literacy so they can solve the scientific and technological challenges of the 21st century.
Sincerely yours,

RYAN VREDE writes that Bismarck du Plessis is the most significant of all the Springboks' injuries to date and further erodes the hope of them winning the Rugby Championship.
I wrote at the time that I didn't believe the absence of Schalk Burger, Jaque Fourie, Danie Rossouw, Bakkies Botha and Fourie du Preez (who was courted for a Test return) among a clutch of uncapped players (Duane Vermeulen and Johan Goosen for example) would be terminal to the Springboks' cause against England. There were competent replacements available who subsequently got the job done. Neither did I feel it would hinder them against Argentina last week, even with Pierre Spies and JP Pietersen added to that injury list.
It was their unavailability against Australia and New Zealand that most concerned me, although I still believed the depth was sufficient to beat the former and mount an appreciable challenge against the Blacks. But Du Plessis' loss is a hammer blow. To understand it's significance you have to take into account the tangible and non-tangible impact.
Technically he is the most complete hooker in the game. He is a brutal defender who has also grown as a breakdown scavenger in recent years. Indeed Heyneke Meyer highlighted this as amplifying his value, especially in light of the absence of a specialist openside flank. On attack he is a force at the gainline, a constant source of go-forward. His work-rate in both these facets of play is unmatched by any hooker on the planet (I know this because I've seen the Springboks' analysis of all their competitors in this regard). Furthermore, his set piece work is excellent.
Away from the technical competencies, his game intelligence and temperament under pressure has improved markedly, as has his discipline, which was a point of concern early in his career. He has also become an accomplished leader. Meyer's estimation of him in this regard has grown to the point where he had considered him for the captaincy. Finally, his experience will be sorely missed. Forty six caps into his Test career, Du Plessis's presence at crunch times would have been a boon for a youthful and largely inexperienced Springbok pack.
Seldom will one player's absence be decisive to the outcome, and I'm not suggesting Du Plessis holds such sway at this point in his career. He was, however, the heart and soul of the side and embodied every quality Meyer sought in his players. He has the capacity to galvanise those around him through the standard he sets. He is a match winner.
His replacement, Adriaan Strauss, is a fine player but he isn't in Du Plessis's class. That said, Strauss faces a decisive phase in his Test career, where his success or failure will have a significant bearing on the Springboks' fortunes. In the context of their game plan he is an important cog. His lineout feeds will come under the microscope and with the Springboks' rolling maul being one of their primary weapons, Strauss's accuracy will be central to their ability to set this in motion. It is also a facet of play where the Springboks have traditionally had the edge over the Wallabies and Blacks.
In addition Strauss will have to rein in his fondness for lurking in the loose. It is a strategy that suits the Cheetahs' approach but the Springboks will need him to get stuck in at ground zero in the coming Tests.
In Monday's press conference in Mendoza Meyer described Strauss as world-class. That offering and other examples of his professed faith in him is not lip service. He has an extremely high regard for the player, whom he brought to the Bulls as a youngster and whose loss he deeply lamented when he returned to the Cheetahs. Strauss owes it to himself and Meyer to take the opportunity that now presents itself.

Video of girls aims to shed light on Asperger's syndrome

Sixth-graders Sky Amethyst Capes, (left) and Makena Welsh, both 12, read in the Cedar Way Elementary library on Friday. Both will attend Meadowdale Middle School next year.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Sixth-graders Sky Capes, (left) and Makena Welsh, both 12, read in the Cedar Way Elementary library on Friday. Both will attend Meadowdale Middle School next year.
A video camera recorded the scene. Two 12-year-olds, Sky Amethyst Capes and Makena Welsh, walked with bouncy confidence from their dressing rooms. They smiled, waved and executed model-like 360-degree turns to show off their new outfits.
Near the end of the 13-minute video that documents their trip, Sky, perhaps by degree slightly more of a stage ham, shows off an orange polka dot dress she's wearing.
"Is this cute or what?" she asks. As she turns to walk away from the camera, she gives a casual behind-the-back wave with her left hand and signs off with: "See ya boys!"
The video was made to help Sky and Makena, both sixth-graders at Cedar Way Elementary School, gain confidence and prepare for what can be the turbulent transition to middle school.
Both have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Children with this type of autism typically have average to above average intellect, but can have difficulty with social interactions.
"There's been times when my friends who have kids Sky's age . . . will exclude her from activities," said Coral Blankinship, Sky's mom. "She won't be invited. They don't understand her."
Makena's mom, Shaela Welsh, said that although her daughter has difficulties with reading and writing, she's in the top 5 percent of her class in math.
"Socially, they get frustrated," she said. "They're the ones that never get paired up. Asperger's kids are bullied? It's a very stressful thing."
Both moms said they worry about their daughters' upcoming introduction to middle school.
Middle school "was very tough on me and I didn't have autism," Blankinship said.
"Focusing on their transition to middle school, for typical kids it's huge, for Asperger's kids it's traumatizing," Welsh said.
The trip to Bellingham, which also included facials and salon haircuts, was documented by an online, Seattle-based production company, Talk It Up TV. It's one of a series of mini-documentaries produced by the company on topics as varied as human trafficking, a surprise birthday party for a homeless child and children recovering from burns.
Anny Havland, the show's host for the nonprofit show, said she wanted to work on video projects that are "an outlet for everyday life experiences and random acts of kindness."
The segment on Sky and Makena is called "Building Confidence With Autism."
The project evolved from a volunteer at Cedar Way who worked with both the girls. The woman, Lil Labourr, works in a program called Pet Partners to assist children diagnosed with autism. She uses her dog, Peanut, as a social icebreaker to discuss subjects such as hygiene, clothing and healthy eating.
Labourr also knew Havland and asked her to speak to the Sky and Makena's class. From there, Havland decided she wanted to do the online show on autism.
"They're bright, smart, girls," Labourr said. "They have sensory issues sometimes where they put clothing on and it doesn't feel right. Choosing clothing that's fashionable might be harder for them."
For Makena, it meant she hadn't worn jeans since the first grade, her mom said.
Their next stop was at the Toni & Guy salon for haircuts and some spa touches.
"They showed her how to use products on her face," Welsh said. "She has done it every day since then. I owe these people!"
Sky said her favorite part of participating in the video was getting her hair done.
"I loved being in the video," she said. "I thought it was awesome."
She said she hopes that people who watch the video will come to understand "that autism people are really good people and?they just have trouble with communication. They need to understand the disability and get to know them more and not just see them as an autistic person."
Her mom said that after her trip to Bellingham, Sky has paid more attention to color coordinating her clothes and she's doing a better job of getting herself ready in the morning. "It's had a positive impact on her."
Marlaina Capes, Sky's stepmom, said a recent text from Sky showed another, unexpected effect, a big social step forward.
"I'm going to go to a skating party with my mainstream class!" it began. "Some of the girls?asked me to hang out with them at the party. I can't wait!"

Professional Grade
If you consult professional landscapers or architects for your landscape redesign, they may use pricier landscape design software. At $250, Realtime Landscaping Architect is well beyond the needs and budget of most homeowners, but it is worth understanding the tools that your landscaper is using. The professional software is similar to the less expensive packages, but it helps users quickly generate professional landscape plans, blueprints and CAD drawings to share with zoning officials, contractors and others.
Before starting a basic landscape redesign, play around with some free landscaping software. If you have a more serious project, buy the more advanced software and make detailed plans to help ensure success.

Great Backpack!!
This is an extremely comfortable backpack! Biking it anywhere with heavy things packed inside is hardly bothersome with the extra padding bars it has on the back and on the straps. Looks nice and slick in black. I'm very satisfied with it.

The Jordan Lake Rules were implemented by the state in 2009 to reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorous flowing into
Michael Layne, field operations manager of
"Since the rules have been passed, we've been implementing it according to legislation," said Layne.
However, in 2009, the deadline requiring waste water treatment plant upgrades were pushed back from 2014 to 2016, and a recent second extension has moved that date to 2018. Also this year, the rules regarding new development were pushed from August 2012 to August 2014.
Layne said
The issue is that with the deadline changes, the second stage of the existing development rule – implementing nutrient reduction strategies and installing retrofits – falls before the required 2018 date of completion for waste water treatment plant upgrades.
Layne said that the rules were originally designed so the second stage of the existing development rules wouldn't "kick in" until after the waste water treatment plant upgrades were complete, allowing municipalities to see how the plant upgrades impacted nitrogen and phosphorous levels before having to install potentially expensive and invasive retrofits to existing developments.
So now, Layne is working on a recommendation to legislators that would delay that second stage of existing development rules by two years, putting the steps of the management strategy back in sequence.
Layne added the two-year delay is also necessary because the N.C. Nutrient Scientific Advisory Board, created through the Jordan Lake Rules legislation, hasn't had enough time to develop the program that will credit municipalities for nutrient reduction for certain measures taken during stage two of the existing development rules.
A member of the N.C. Nutrient Scientific Advisory Board himself, Layne said another goal of the eventual recommendations will be to put the implementation of the riparian buffer protection rule back into the state's hands.
The Jordan Lake Rules shifted the responsibility of protecting the naturally vegetated areas along water bodies in the Jordan Lake Watershed from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Division of Water Quality to local governments.
"We feel like the state is more aptly positioned to implement these rules," Layne said.
Additionally, Layne and representatives from

Season four of The Glades concluded this week but the show hasn't been renewed yet. Will it return for season five or will it be cancelled instead?
For those who haven't seen it, The Glades follows a cocky Chicago detective (Matt Passmore) who moves to South Florida in hopes of finding a more relaxing way of life. He finds instead that he's busier than ever. Others in the dramedy's cast include Kiele Sanchez, Carlos Gómez, Uriah Shelton, Jordan Wall, and Michelle Hurd.
Season four of the show averaged 2.59 million viewers, down by 14% when compared to season three's average (3.01 million). It's the lowest-rated of A&E's three scripted dramas but hit a new high with its recent finale and an audience of 3.41 million.
While The Glades was the series to help A&E establish itself as a channel with scripted content, things aren't looking too good for the show's future. The ratings are down and the show is produced by Fox Television Studios so the cable channel doesn't have a financial stake in its future.
According to Deadline, the show's outlook isn't bright but A&E hasn't cancelled it yet.
After four seasons, there are 49 episodes of The Glades. That's not enough for a syndication package but it might be close enough to give Fox incentive to make some kind of special deal to keep it going — either with A&E or another outlet. It would help if there were an appropriate Fox-owned channel but there isn't.
For now, we'll have to wait and see. If the show is cancelled, hopefully the producers will tell fans how the fourth season cliffhanger would have been resolved.
What do you think? Would you like to see a fifth season renewal or is it time for The Glades to be cancelled instead?
UPDATE: A&E has cancelled The Glades after four seasons.

Chris Evans Can Be Our Superhero Anytime – The Daily Swoon
Chris Evans has sort of made a career out of being a superhero, but we just want to know when he'll swoop in and save our day.
Chris Evans has played superheroes in both 'Fantastic 4′ and, more notably, as the titular hero in 'Captain America.' He's got the muscles and the blue-eyed pretty boy looks for it, that's for sure. But he's also quite the comedian, making us chuckle with parts in films like 'Not Another Teen Movie' and 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.'
And he was probably the only good part of 'What's Your Number,' a movie we'd rather just never talk about ever again — but do enjoy the image and GIF from the movie below because, well, have you seen Chris Evans half-naked? I mean.
Evans is a versatile actor, able to shift from charming and witty to boneheaded and silly with ease, but we like him best as Captain America, kicking butt and saving lives all noble-like, willing to sacrifice his own life to save others — that's the good stuff right there. Besides, his Captain America shirtless scenes are the best shirtless scenes.
And that boy makes sweatpants look sexy. Have you ever seen a guy look sexy in sweats? That's what I thought.

A Pap smear, also called a Pap test, is a procedure to test for cervical cancer in women. A Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix — the lower, narrow end of your uterus that's at the top of your vagina.
Detecting cervical cancer early with a Pap smear gives you a greater chance at a cure. A Pap smear can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. Detecting these abnormal cells early with a Pap smear is your first step in halting the possible development of cervical cancer.
A Pap smear is used to screen for cervical cancer. The Pap smear is usually done in conjunction with a pelvic exam. In women older than age 30, the Pap smear may be combined with a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) — a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer in some women.
You and your doctor can decide when it's time for you to begin Pap smear testing and how often you should have the test. In general, doctors recommend beginning Pap smear testing at age 21 and then every two or three years. After age 30, Pap smears are generally recommended every three years, or every five years when the Pap smear is combined with an HPV test.
If you have certain risk factors, your doctor may recommend more-frequent Pap smears, regardless of your age. These risk factors include:
You and your doctor can discuss the benefits and risks of Pap smears and decide what's best for you based on your risk factors.
A number of organizations have recommendations regarding when and how frequently a woman should have Pap smears. These guidelines differ slightly because each organization takes different factors into consideration. The guidelines are recommendations for you and your doctor to consider and discuss.
In general, groups agree that you should have your first Pap smear at age 21:
Groups' guidelines differ for how often the tests should be done.
Discuss your screening options with your doctor. In certain situations a woman and her doctor may decide to end Pap testing, such as:
A Pap smear is a safe way to screen for cervical cancer. However, a Pap smear isn't foolproof. It's possible to receive false-negative results — meaning that the test indicates no abnormality, even though you do have abnormal cells.
A false-negative result doesn't mean that a mistake was made. Factors that can cause a false-negative result include:
Although it's possible for abnormal cells to go undetected, time is on your side. Cervical cancer takes several years to develop. And if one test doesn't detect the abnormal cells, the next test most likely will.
To ensure that your Pap smear is most effective, follow these tips prior to your test:
A Pap smear is performed in your doctor's office and takes only a few minutes. You may be asked to undress completely or only from the waist down.
You'll lie down on your back on an exam table with your knees bent. Your heels rest in supports called stirrups.
Your doctor will gently insert an instrument called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum holds the walls of the vagina apart so that your doctor can easily see your cervix. Inserting the speculum may cause a sensation of pressure in your pelvic area.
Then your doctor will take samples of your cervical cells using a soft brush or a flat scraping device called a spatula. This usually doesn't hurt.
After your Pap smear, you can go about your day without restrictions.
Depending on the type of Pap test you're undergoing, your doctor transfers the cell sample collected from your cervix into a container holding a special liquid to preserve the sample (liquid-based Pap test) or onto a glass slide (conventional Pap test).
The samples are transferred to a laboratory where they're examined under a microscope to look for characteristics in the cells that indicate cancer or a precancerous condition.
Ask your doctor about when you can expect the results of your Pap smear. In some cases, your doctor will contact you only if something of concern is found or if it's determined that you need further testing.
The Pap smear can alert your doctor to the presence of suspicious cells that need further testing.
If only normal cervical cells were discovered during your Pap smear, you're said to have a negative result. You won't need any further treatment or testing until you're due for your next Pap smear and pelvic exam.
If abnormal or unusual cells were discovered during your Pap smear, you're said to have a positive result. A positive result doesn't mean you have cervical cancer. What a positive result means depends on the type of cells discovered in your Pap smear.
Here are some terms your doctor might use and what your next course of action might be:
If your Pap smear is abnormal, your doctor may perform a procedure called colposcopy using a special magnifying instrument (colposcope) to examine the tissues of the cervix, vagina and vulva. Your doctor also may take a tissue sample (biopsy) from any areas that appear abnormal. The tissue sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis and a definitive diagnosis.

Pakistan qualified for the World T20 semi-finals with a 39-run win over Ireland.
It was, of course, the Irish who dumped Pakistan out of the 50-over World Cup in the West Indies two years ago, but there was to be no repeat at The Oval. Younis Kahn's side were superior in all aspects of the game and never looked like losing.
Pakistan now have four points in Group F after their three matches, with Sri Lanka (also four points) and New Zealand (two points) still to play each other. However, Pakistan's run rate is superior to both of those teams, which means they are through to the final four.
Having won the toss and deciding to bat first, Pakistan posted 159-5 thanks to 57 from Man of the Match Kamran Akmal, and while none of the other batsmen made big runs, there were decent partnerships for every wicket.
Ireland spinner Kyle McCallan was his side's best bowler taking 2-26, with Trent Johnson the worst, going for 20 in his second over and 12 in his third.
Ireland's run chase got off to a solid start thanks to William Porterfield (40), but when he was dismissed in the 14th over with the score on 87, wickets began to fall regularly.
Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal was the main benefactor, taking 4-19 in his four overs, with Akmal making two stumpings.
Pakistan 159-5 (20 overs)
Kamran Akmal 57, Kyle McCallan 2-26
Ireland 120-9 (20 overs)
William Porterfield 40, Saeed Ajmal 4-19
Pakistan won by 39 runs

Our helmets meet or exceed DOT FMVSS 218 specifications.
This is a very well constructed and great looking new DOT motorcycle helmet with excellent inside padding, sun visor, D-rings and chin strap.
To find your size, get a helper do the measurement with a cloth tape measure to measure the circumference of your forehead at the position you want the helmet liner to rest.
This is 1 inch above the eye brows. If your measurement falls between two of the sizes, please choose the smaller size.
Comment: It's a good basic 3/4 face helmet. Don't be scared by the description saying "Scooter" helmet, it's a standard DOT approved motorcycle helmet. Most people will want a face shield too though, unless you enjoy the taste of bugs
new york
Comment: This product is great. Shipping was fast and the helmet was exactly as described. I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now and believe that I would trust it in an accident. Good company to do business with. I would order from them again. Keep up the good work everyone!

Poolville, Tx
Comment: This is a good basic helmet that is a bargain for the price. The fit is good and I find it to be as comfortable. Similar to more expensive helmets. Jafrum's service was great as usual.
Charlotte, NC
Comment: I've been using this helmet for about 2 months now and have absolutely no complaints. It's comfortable, light, and easily personalized with decals. You can't go wrong for the price. Comfortable, stylish, and light weight.
Comment: The helmet is comfortable and cute. It is snug enough that it's a bit hard to wear sunglasses.
Comment: For $30 you can't beat it and it is a perfect color match for my Vesoa 250!!!
Paul Gerber

Comment: Wanted a bright color this is bright fits well from sizing chart
Comment: The helmet fits and feels just like the helmet I wore in the late 6os, the visor blew off and broke in a gust while riding in the wind
Dave ricks
cedar city, Ut
Comment: I bought one of these and I think its great. Fits well, lightweight and well ventilated. The face shield keeps rain out of my face too. One thing to remember is that the face shield will not remain in place at high speed. Its for a scooter, not a sport bike. Another thing I don't like about it is the lower beveled edge so close to my neck. it is almost a sharp edge. A rubber or tygon covering over that edge would make it a lot safer.
Comment: the two open face helmets I bought from you are just great. the fit is fine and the bright red is exactly what I expected. I have made them a bit personalized with a green 1/8 inch strip, a black/white checker, and white stripe for the Italian moto guzzis I ride. thank you for the great product.
