A music-based '60s party is a way to treat your guests to a feast for ears and eyes.
Woodstock took place August 15-17, 1969. As far as we're concerned any birthday, fundraiser, reunion or retirement taking place this summer, particularly in mid-August, is fair game for a Woodstock theme and available supplies are more numerous than ever.
The harmonic focus of the original festival, advertised as "Three Days of Peace and Music," transcended miserable conditions on the ground including rainstorms, mud, and lack of adequate facilities. You, of course, will want to provide the soundtrack at your Woodstock Revisited party while avoiding excessive sogginess and such. Do it by romanticizing the venue in mod colors and designs reminiscent of 1960s concert posters.
Our rainbow tie-dye gossamer — highly rated in dozens of customer reviews – will give you a strong start in decorating as long as you understand its qualities. By this we mean gossamer is very thin and translucent by definition. You can drape it, twist it, pleat and tie it; but for actual areal coverage you'll need something in a light color behind or under it.
If you want to cover walls with this gossamer fabric and your walls are dark, try a solid gossamer or poly vinyl backing in white or yellow. On tables, cover a light solid cover with a runner made of this tie dye pattern, which then leaves you free to coordinate in solid colored tableware that echoes one or two of the runner hues. This patterned gossamer will also make luscious wraps and bows for chair backs.
The same decorating fabric plays very nicely with the Retro Times decorating theme kit as you can see at the top of this post, and it goes with any of our Set the Stage retro kits as well. FYI the kits in our retro collection rank among some of our most affordable prop sets, though you'd never know it by the buzz these pieces create.
Complete the color riot with red, yellow and blue paper lanterns overhead. We have recently expanded our sizes to include 24" and 36" lanterns in addition to the traditional 12" so they won't get "lost" in cavernous ballrooms and other large venues.
OK, now what about taking your Woodstock theme outside? Retro banners are no problem and gossamer usually isn't, but most decorations are meant for indoors and placing them in a structure sheltered from wind and rain is recommended. That being said, many have successfully decorated parade floats and other open-air venues by employing strategies for reinforcing, anchoring, and protecting against moisture. Only you can decide if added work and weather-related risk are worth it.
When it comes to party favors we are highly attracted to wearables. Flash the peace sign to guests at the door, place beads around their necks and hand them round metal glasses with tinted lenses. Or check the swag bags in retro novelty favors for fun favors to wear and more.
To see more far out party ideas for your Woodstock remake, the 1960s store is where it's at. There or square, man!

Enforcing the law, equality
On Tuesday, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed the suit against Arlene's Flowers and Gifts and its owner, Barronelle Stutzman. On March 1, Stutzman told Robert Ingersoll, a longtime customer, that she couldn't provide flowers for his same-sex wedding because it was inconsistent with her Christian beliefs. Ingersoll posted on Facebook that the rejection gave him a "heavy heart." He told Stutzman that he respected her opinion. They hugged.
Now, navigate this encounter with a legal compass. Is this a political question, a violation of consumer protection, an expression of religious liberty, a human rights question? All of the above?
"As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington," Ferguson said. "Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against customers on the basis of sexual orientation. If a business provides a product or service to opposite-sex couples for their weddings, then it must provide same-sex couples the same product or service."
Unpack the legal argument, and there's validity to Ferguson's suit. In 2006, sexual orientation became a protected class under the Washington Law Against Discrimination. As far back as 1973, the Legislature authorized a subsection to the discrimination law that unfair trade or commerce violated the Consumer Protection Act.
The salient question is whether this suit is in the public interest. The law and Ferguson say yes. Ferguson's office gave Stutzman an opportunity to make amends, but her attorney rejected the offer. Reconciliation -- everyone's first choice -- appears unlikely.
In supporting marriage equality, The Herald Editorial Board opined that, "One of the biggest anti-marriage myths, popularized by opponents, revolves around R-74's legal fallout. In brief, lawsuits won't take off after same-sex marriage is legalized."
So, were we wrong? No, Ferguson says, the law traces back to 2006. Technically right can feel some-other-way uncertain, however.
Ferguson is idealistic, whip smart, and very likely a future governor. Twenty years from now, will this case be the sit-at-the-lunch-counter example? It's too early to know.
In the conflict-averse Pacific Northwest, lawsuits kindle anxiety. Ferguson is doing his job. Something constructive needs to come of it.

Comments about 3RD Eye Pro Mirror:
There is no better way to enhance your situational awareness while riding, especially in traffic, than with a helmet mount mirror.
Handlebar-mounted mirrors that I've tried all bounced around too much to be any help, and some other helmet-mounted units have a flat mounting surface that is very hard to find a location for on the helmet.
Because it sticks out from your helmet, this style of mirror is easy to knock into things, and easy to snap off, although this is not a function of cheap materials.
The other drawback is that the adhesive material, while devilishly sticky, dosn't hold forever. I have seen an improvement by using both supplied pieces of adhesive at the same time, which I think better shapes to meet the helmet surface.
Comments about 3RD Eye Pro Mirror:
It is important to make sure the helmet surface is clean so that the adhesive sticks well. I like the mirror well enough that I have just epoxied it to one of my helmets that I had trouble getting the mirror to stick on with the supplied adhesive.

How Do I Allow Only A Certain IP To Access My Cloud Site Using SSL?
How do I Allow only a certain IP address(es) to access my site using SSL?
On Cloud Sites, due to our unique hosting environment, we require a slight addition to the code used for the Allow only feature via SSL. Basically the issue is that the requesting IP coming into a server is the IP of our load balancing server instead of the visitor's. This means limiting access on an IP level through .htaccess becomes problematic. The answer is that we provide an environment variable called HTTP:X-Forwarded-For which has the visitor's ip.
In the .htaccess file containing your rules, place the following into your file: Allowing only a certain IP/IP Addresses:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-For} 000\.000\.000\.000 RewriteRule .* - [F]
Replace 000\.000\.000\.000 with your IP address. This will only allow your IP address to access your site, and is a great way to develop your site without restrictions.
Important note: Implementing this code may prevent images from loading on your cloud site. To address this you can add the following code do your .htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpe?p|png)$"> order deny,allow allow from env=allowclient </FilesMatch>

Nobody's invented a native widget in decades. The only reason SWT is still around is because of Eclipse, otherwise it would have died the same horrible death as all of IBM's other Java technologies.
The problem with Java desktop applications is that the desktop itself is become irrelevant.
Just compare the salaries of people writing Java desktop applications with those writing web apps or phone apps.
Or don't take my advice...I've only been in the business of writing Java desktop apps for 15 years.
Java desktop apps are still pretty common on internal company networks. They're easier to write and maintain than web apps. And while it's true they haven't kept up to date visually, companies generally don't care about aesthetics in non-customer-facing applications.

But what is the problem with Java desktop applictions?
I've got nothing against Java desktop apps per se, but they're uncommon. I would disagree with your assessment that they're no longer slow; the few I've used tend to be slow and have rather high memory requirements for what they do. Also, in my experience, they can be prone to significant memory leaks - not that Java's the only one with that problem.
Java is *not* prone to memory leaks. You have to actually make quite an effort to leak memory in a Java application. Of course, making those kind of mistakes is one of the first things n00bs seem to learn.

I suspect the GP is being fairly loose with the term "memory leak" using it to mean applications whose memory usage goes up over time even though what the user is doing with the app isn't changing much.
One problem is people think a garbage collector stops them having to worry about memory. That is true to an extent but programmers still have to be careful to avoid situations where an object is highly unlikely to be (or possiblly even can't be) used again but nevertheless there is a reference sitting arround to it somewhere.
Another is that use of background garbage collection can create very undesirable behaviour under a multitasking OS and especially under a multitasking OS with swap and from the outside this behaviour looks very much like a "leak". AIUI If something stops the (low priority) gc thread from running then the application will continue to eat up memory until it hits a hard limit on the memory available (at which point non-background gc will be forced). Meanwhile the OS has no idea that the app doesn't really need this memory and so will do whatever is needed to make it available. Afaict this misbehaviour is why java runs with a relatively low hard memory limit by default (which papers over the problem to some extent but is far from an ideal soloution).
Oh, that explains why I keep seeing Java apps that are self-limited to 100MB of RAM. Thanks for clarifying that.
This is why I think reference counting is a better way of memory management and is what Perl uses.
I would strongly disagree with your assessment that Java desktop apps are slow. I have been involved with writing three SWT apps that were very fast (admittedly, they weren't doing supercomputer work, but that's not the issue here).
I also coded on them with Intellij Idea, which is written in Java and lightning fast for what it achieves.
I can only conclude that the Java apps you have seen must be inferior, or just Eclipse.
For whatever reason Java apps do tend to be slow. Maybe in raw computing performance it's okay, but for example I have an AMD dual core server with 8GB of RAM that can load Firefox in two to three seconds. If I try to open a Java app like JDownloader it takes 30+ seconds. That is with Java already loaded and running another app (PS3 Media Server). Both are not what I would call fast and responsive when you start poking their UIs.
Desktop Java apps seem to mostly suck. On the server things might be different.

Me too. I have disabled the browser plugin since the security shenanigans in 2012 (August, IIRC). The only website I use that needs Java applets is the site of the Bank I have an account on. I enable the plugin just before going to that site, and disable it just after.
I have a similar problem, but a slightly different solution - I browse regularly using the 64 bit browser, java disabled. If a particular site needs it, I fire up the 32 bit version with it enabled. Two shortcuts, easy-peasy.
I have the plugin itself enabled, but NoScript means it only actually does anything if I request it to.

I think it was running Java 6v19 or something but that's fine because it's not touching the browser.

Java is currently all over my keyboard. Been trying to get it out of the crevices for years.
I gave up and never use it anymore. I don't play Minecraft either. Uninstalled. I can always redownload and reinstall if I need it.
But it's an app that completely locks down Java, using it's own locked-down bundled JRE. We don't allow any Java apps/applets other than the ones signed by us to run from our JRE.
In the world of Network Operations, it's impossible to disable Java at this time. Nearly every appliance we operate uses Java in some way in its administration GUI. Many of the home-grown applications here are also Java based. Vendors typically stray 5 to 10 years behind current market practices, so I don't see them abandoning Java any time soon. Heck, we're still waiting for some to abandon only support IE as a browser.

But I'm on my machine at the office. And while is SAYS that Java is enable and running, it is suspect to say the least. I have applications that require Java that aren't running right now, and other applications that should be there have mysteriously disappeared overnight. Seems that the people in charge of administering my desktop at work believe in "security by removal". If it's at risk, delete it. No, we don't bother with patching. We'll just wait for people to complain about things not working, make them go through the whole justification an approval process, then maybe get around to putting the current version on.

You're right. It would have been more accurate to say "Many web sites won't work without Java script."
I think there should be an option for "uninstalled/not installed". When I got my new computer I didn't install Java because there where almost no pages I ever stumbled upon that used it, so why add a vulnerability vector for so little functionality?
I keep my JREs (32- and 64-bit v7; I use some non-browser programs of both bitnesses) updated and don't even bother shutting off the browser plugin. This is because

Woods Named Conference Carolinas Men's Basketball Player of the Week
November 24, 2009
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Chris Woods (2-2 overall, 0-0 conf.) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's basketball Player of the Week during week number one in the 2009-10 season. Woods, a junior with the Falcon Basketball program, started the 2009-2010 season averaging 25 points in a 2-2 beginning for the Falcons, which includes a career-high 34 against an NCAA tournament team making it to the Southeast Region Championship a year ago, USC-Aiken.
Woods began the year with a 27-point effort in a season-opening loss to Cheyney. Woods followed up his Sunday performance with a game-high 23 in a 99-84 win over Livingstone. Against the Pacers, Woods dropped a double-double on the sweet 16 team from a year ago with his career-best 34 points and 10 rebounds. The junior from Thomasville, NC wrapped up the opening week with 16 points and six rebounds in a last minute loss to Catawba 97-94. Woods played in more minutes than any other Falcon averaging 6.75 rebounds/game in addition to his 25 points/game.

GENERIC NAME: metoprolol
BRAND NAMES: Lopressor, Toprol XL
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent that is used for treating high blood pressure, heart pain, abnormal rhythms of the heart, and some neurologic conditions. Examples of beta-adrenergic blockers include propanolol (Inderal, Inderal LA, Innopran XL), atenolol (Tenormin), and timolol (Blocadren). Metoprolol blocks the action of the sympathetic nervous system, a portion of the involuntary nervous system, by blocking beta receptors on sympathetic nerves. Since the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for increasing the rate with which the heart beats, by blocking the action of these nerves metoprolol reduces the heart rate and is useful in treating abnormally rapid heart rhythms.
Metoprolol also reduces the force of contraction of heart muscle and thereby lowers blood pressure. By reducing the heart rate and the force of muscle contraction, metoprolol reduces the need for oxygen by heart muscle. Since heart pain (angina pectoris) occurs when oxygen demand of the heart muscle exceeds the supply of oxygen, metoprolol, by reducing the demand for oxygen, is helpful in treating heart pain. The FDA approved metoprolol in August 1978.

Mariner boys enjoying the thrill of victory
During last season's 0-20 campaign, the members of the Mariner High School boys basketball team concentrated 'on getting better from day to day.' This year's 4-1 start proves the Marauders accomplished their goal.
And euphoria set in.
One year after going 0-20, the Marauders were back in the win column. And to see the ensuing celebration, you would have thought it was a state championship.
"With about 20 seconds to go, I had the biggest smile," said Cody Chrisman, a senior center. "And then when the final buzzer sounded, the fans stormed the court. They were giving us high-fives and hugs. It was really emotional.
"I felt like I was on top of the world that day."
As we all know, sports give us triumphs and setbacks, elations and sorrows. For most players, coaches and even fans, a spectrum of emotions is simply part of the usual sporting experience.
But for a team that goes winless, there are no highs to counter the lows. There is only disappointment and discouragement, and the entire season ultimately becomes a prolonged blur of despair.
"Last season was one of the most heartbreaking experiences I've ever had," Chrisman recalled. "It really takes a toll on your morale."
"Every loss cut deep," senior guard Bayek Tutlam said. "And as the season went on, it started to raise questions. 'Are we going to win this game?' And then you'd see the scoreboard at the end and it was like, 'Well, on to the next one.' That's how it went through the whole season until the last few games.
"And then it was like, 'Can we at least win one?' But it didn't happen," Tutlam said.
The victory over Woodinville in the season opener "felt great," Tutlam said. "We hadn't won a game since my sophomore year, so it was kind of like a new feeling."
Since then the Marauders added non-league wins over Everett and Shorewood, lost to Meadowdale, then collected another win over Cascade to improve to 4-1 heading into Monday's meeting with Kamiak.
As he recalls last season, Mariner coach Tom Jensen said his team rarely suffered blowout losses. Most nights the Marauders showed up ready to compete and they had a chance to win several games. Likewise, the team practiced diligently despite the mounting string of defeats.
"It wasn't like we had to pick our spirits up every day," said Jensen, a 1999 Mariner graduate who played under previous coach Dexter Griffen. "We didn't have a loser's mentality. With a team that doesn't win any games you'd think there'd be guys jumping ship, but we didn't have that.
"Don't get me wrong, there was some hanging of heads on the court from time to time, but that's why I have timeouts. I'd call a timeout and say, 'We're not doing this. We're not going down that road.'"
Throughout the season, he said, "we stayed true to the game plan and we tried to get better from day to day."
Other factors explain why the Marauders struggled a year ago, and why the outlook is rosier this season. Last year the team lost two key players to academic eligibility and a third transferred to another school. But those three players are all back this season, giving Mariner an important boost in talent.
The Marauders also have a terrific weapon in Tutlam, who was an all-conference pick a year ago. An athletic wing player, he can score from the perimeter or on drives to the basket, and he has the ability to create for others as well as himself.
He is, Jensen said, "an amazing basketball player ... and we're definitely going to lean on him at times because he's so gifted. But we don't want to make him responsible for us as a team because that's just not (good) basketball in general. We want to get everybody the basketball where they can be successful in the offense."
The team's goals are unchanged from a year ago, he went on. "We're looking to get better from game to game, and then hopefully put ourselves in a position where we're competing for a playoff spot. The kids are playing hard, they're doing their best, and they're finding a little bit more success."
But as much fun as it is to win again, the season is still young. Or as Jensen pointed out, "You don't make the playoffs after (the first few) games."
Also, the Marauders have some flaws to fix, particularly at the offensive end. But if that happens, he said, "I think we can be a really good basketball team."

OSHAWA -- Just months before being charged with murder in the death of an Oshawa toddler, Michael Monckton was investigated for the abuse of another young child.
But jurors now deliberating in Mr. Monckton's murder trial never heard those allegations, as they were ruled inadmissible. Before the beginning of Mr. Monckton's trial in mid-October, Superior Court Justice Alex Sosna found the allegations might unfairly affect the proceedings against Mr. Monckton.
The judge found the prejudicial effect of the allegations would outweigh their probative value -- evidence that establishes or contributes to proving the charges he currently faces.
"There is a significant possibility (jurors) would be deflected from their task" of considering the evidence against Mr. Monckton, Justice Sosna said in his ruling.
Jurors began deliberating Monday afternoon. Now that they are sequestered, the earlier trial ruling can be reported.
The Crown had sought to enter evidence that in 2009 Mr. Monckton was twice questioned by police in Port Hope as they investigated injuries sustained by the child of a woman he was dating. The allegations are similar to those in the death of Keagan Davis, whose 2010 death has been attributed to abdominal trauma, combined with numerous other blunt force injuries.
Mr. Monckton has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm in Keagan's death. He was never charged in connection with the Port Hope investigation.
According to information put before the court by the Crown, Mr. Monckton entered into a relationship with a woman in Port Hope in November 2008. During an access visit in May 2009, the boy's biological father noticed a number of injuries, including bruises on his body and face, court heard.
Police were alerted, as was the Children's Aid Society. Mr. Monckton was questioned and "vehemently denied" inflicting the injuries, Justice Sosna noted. No charges were laid.
In June 2009, the boy showed up at daycare with a "severe" black eye, Justice Sosna said. Once again Mr. Monckton denied hurting the child, court heard. Again, no charges were laid.
The circumstances are similar to those in the Keagan Davis case. Mr. Monckton started dating Keagan's mother in August 2009 and by late that year they were living together in a basement apartment in east Oshawa. Mr. Monckton, a construction worker, was laid off late in 2009 and assumed care of Keagan while his mother, Leigh-Ann Worrall, worked.
On Jan. 5, 2010, just weeks after Mr. Monckton and Ms. Worrall began living together, Keagan was found with no vital signs by paramedics responding to a 911 call at the apartment. An autopsy revealed that in addition to the internal injuries that killed the child, he had sustained many more injuries including broken bones and extensive bruising, court heard.
The prosecution, led by Crown attorney Paul Murray, sought to enter the Port Hope allegations as evidence of similar past behaviour that might help convince the jury Mr. Monckton is guilty of the offences he now faces. Such evidence, however, is subject to a strict test of law: the judge must determine that the probative value of the evidence outweighs its potential to prejudice proceedings against the accused.
In this case, Justice Sosna found that test had not been met. The judge found that in addition to their potential to prejudice the jury, there was a concern that the Port Hope allegations against Mr. Monckton had not been proven. No charges were laid and Mr. Monckton was vigorous in his denial of them, Justice Sosna found. As well, Mr. Monckton was not the only person investigated in the Port Hope incident.
"There is no direct evidence linking the accused to the injuries received by (the child)," Justice Sosna said. "Evidence of mere opportunity is not sufficient."
Had the allegations been entered as evidence, they may have required more trial time and many more witnesses, raising the possibility the current trial might "veer off course" from its primary objective of determining Mr. Monckton's guilt or innocence in the charges relating to Keagan, Justice Sosna said.

Discussion in 'Transfer Forum' started by Reapersoul20, Dec 10, 2011.
Link to article here.
An extract :
Seems vaguely realistic. Moreso than a lot of reports.
Why's that any more realistic than other reports?
The "rumors" that the press are coming up with are so predictable.
"Hit list?" Are we going to kill him?
Id say you've a hit list of your own Lance!
You're not wrong, amigo.
maybe gaitan will do a 'nasri'...ask for a transfer with the excuse of wanting to win the uefa cl...
Seriously, i cant see us paying 39m for anyone, let alone gaitan.
United have asked Benfica to notify them of any moves from other clubs
We did the same for Jones.
Hmmm...Europa League or Champions League?
Muppet erection on standby
He's a winger isn't he?
Premier League or Champions League
Their whole team probably isnt worth 39 million squids.
My view is that with our problems in midfield being so well publicized, wherever we go, we're going to get absolutely fleeced, so I wouldn't be surprised if we end up paying an absurd amount for a relatively unknown player, never mind this guy.
And also, remember it's 39 million euro, and the euro is going to be worth about a tuppence in a few weeks.
39 million... lol, yeah okay!
And article does have the £ sign, not the € one!
Do players playing in the PL have 'release clauses'?
Every Tom, Dick & Harry in Portugal seems to have one, that's why we got fleeced for 5 times what Bebe was really worth.
This Gaitan is worth £8M tops imho...
It's the norm in latin countries to have a release clause. Don't know why. Much better for clubs if they didn't.
Phil Jones, didn't we exactly match his release clause which was meant to be hidden, so we had to pay an undisclosed fee to say sorry as we obviously had inside information?
Valencia go elsewhere if a player costs more than 8-10 million euros, if they were asking about Gaitan it must've been before Benfica impressed in the champions league this season. Either that or this article is a load of rubbish, which is the most likely
Don't be dense.
The article says that his release clause is £39m, not that United are considering offering £39m; when has a player ever been sold for anywhere near the amount of his release clause?
I'm not saying there's any truth in our interest, it sounds like typical slow-news day fabrication, but at least get your facts right when criticising the article, or else you're no better than the hack who wrote it by taking one thing and making it out to be another.
Gaitan is better than many in here are giving him credit for but he's another winger so I can't see why we would be interested. As for Garcia, I've seen him play a few times and can never recall being impressed, he looks very ordinary.
Great another winger!!!
I can't believe that. He's a great talent no doubt but he isn't a player what we need right now.
That seems a crazy price when the likes of Gotze and Hazard would allegedly cost much the same.
I didn't really pay attention to him in our CL games v Benfica would he be a good signing considering the price?
He's a feckin winger!!!
Twitter and Sources in Argentina
Says it all
Remember when were supposed to sign that Rodriguez fella, that didn't work out did it? I don't trust anything that pops up on Twitter to be honest.
Looked more like a Silva/Mata player that many were crying out for that could float about in between the lines, would be very surprised but if we did go for him it would be a clear acceptance that outside of Modric and the Barcelona lads there's no-one who can be that playmaker in centre mid (and be worth the pretty penny everyone's asking for).
We could of signed Silva or Mata and still have a problem in central midfield though. I dont think either Silva or Mata could play centrally as part of a midfield 4.
Young has been pretty rubbish since signing though so he could be an improvement there if nothing else
Where would a guy like this play when you consider that in Rooney and Hernandez we have two forwards who will probably play when both are fit and in form?
Left wing I would imagine, although didn't he play right wing when we played Benfica at OT?
I watched a lot fo Benfica last year and he looks like an out and out winger to me. Hope you are right though
Not really sure. Him playing as a wide playmaker sort in that role that Giggs played so well back in 06/07, beginning on the left but rotating with Nani who plays similarly to how Ronaldo did as a wide player back then, with Welbeck playing the Saha role and Rooney a little deeper? Unlikely but it could be a possibility. Seems very unnecessary to go for another attacking player but what do I know. Still means we're missing a Scholes type but who knows, if there's no Scholes types out there that are gettable then this could be a way of working around it and we go for someone like Martinez (or maybe even Javi Garcia following the OP) alongside Carrick as a really solid base with those two players relied on to distribute the ball rather than dictate the play, allowing Gaitan and Rooney further up to act as the playmakers. Everyone was talking about whether Nasri and Sneijder would be the right players for deeper positions but maybe they were all being considered to play just ahead of the midfield?
If we did go out and buy another wide player all you can do is laugh. Chances are this is nonsense.
You said the same bloody thing about Valencia this far into his first season!
If there's one thing I don't worry about when Manchester United buy players is where they will play. Obviously a reason for SAF to make the purchase wouldn't there be?
Perhaps that's why I'm such a lousy transfer muppet. I wait for the club to announce things :/
No more Argies - always ends in tears.
I know Jonny Evans old coach quite well. Jonny and Corry came to their old team training a while back now, and said to us at the time that SAF always demands that his players train in 3 positions at youth and senior level...should the possibility of a red card, an injury or an injury crisis set in.
He said its something he looks for in any player, the ability to help the team by being versatile and not give off about it.
