New Forum Topics
We love that everyone is taking part in our "forums":http://goneraw.com/forums (which weren't even a part of Gone Raw on on launch)! We've added two new topics to our expanding conversation.
First, we've added a dedicated place to talk about specific "health issues":http://goneraw.com/forums/8. This would cover anything from detox symptoms to specific ailments.
Also, we are thrilled with all of the folks new and transitioning to raw. We've created a space ("new to raw":http://goneraw.com/forums/8) for asking questions and chatting about that journey. We don't expect that everyone in this forum is going to be 100% raw - this is about your journey and initial questions.
Along the same lines, we'll be posting a few articles about being new to raw at the top of the section. If you'd like to help us write about raw basics, please let us know!

Wrap the Pipes
Finally, no matter which type of pipe is used, hot and cold water pipes should be insulated wherever possible. Pipe insulation is cheap and easy to install. Simply wrap pre-slit polyethylene and neoprene foam tubes around the pipes, then tape or clamp them shut. Foam pipe insulators are estimated to cut heat loss by up to 80 percent, and they keep cold water pipes from sweating. They can raise water temperatures four degrees, allowing a lower, more energy-efficient setting on water heaters.
Plumbing pipes made of new plastics may be hard to find but easy on the environment. Homeowners also should find ways to cut energy and water usage in plumbing decisions.

One of the things I love most about jewelry is the diversity it affords (no pun intended!). Sure, I drool over the Tiffany's catalogs, and gawk at the windows in the Diamond District when I'm in New York City. But my favorite pieces of jewelry contain no gold and no precious stones. Instead, they're made from rubber tubing, scrap fabric, lampwork beads, copper, steel, and craft wire.

I've just bought a sim adaptor to put my brand new micro sim into my ooooold HD2 to get tethering back.... i' ll wait a while before using my Lumia.. or selling it
02-03-2012 12:23
Same here.....was using HD2 running WP7, moved to Nokia 800 (wanted the 900).....now moved back to HD2, a two year old phone that runs rings round this Nokia *toy*. This should have been the 710.
03-03-2012 5:04
This issue has absolutely nothing to do with network operators, I got my upgrade done o Feb 1st, and changed to T mobiles's full monty 36 price plan, which includes fully unlimited data, tethering and Voip. 3 have also offered the same for a very long time now on the one plan, just becuase O2, Voda and Orange are unbelievable terrible for data is not an excuse for Nokia to purposefully have disabled this feature on the Lumia 800!
When I upgraded there were only two phones I was interested in, Lumia 800 and Galaxy Nexus, and T mobile only carried the Lumia 800. Everything about the phone itself is 100% perfect for me, easy to use, wonderful screen quality, perfect built in browser, powerful processor and plenty of ram / storage, great games on the marketplace ... Yet everyday when I turn my PC on, I have to swap my sim card back into my obsolete X10 Mini Pro to be able to use the unlimited tethering that I am paying T mobile for.
I read that the Lumia 900 will support tethering right out of the box! Why is there still any excuse to disallow tethering on the 800 when the 900 is already planned to support it?

04-03-2012 7:39
It's very simple. Nokia promised tethering 4 months ago. Still no clear explanation, timeline or release date. I will be avoiding this product.

04-03-2012 15:15
Hello Nokia wake up!
Your Lumia's are great Phones, i like more than iphone or android! But without TETHERING you make the customer angry. And you are now in the start phase, why kill a cool system at the start with obvious features? *stupid*
06-03-2012 10:05
Coming from a long line of Nokia phones that have always had the ability to tether I am very disappointed that the Lumia 800 does not have this feature.
My previous phone to the Lumia was a HTC 7 Pro (the only non Nokia phone I have had since my first ever phone) and this was eventually granted ICS by HTC.
My Lumia is SIM FREE so there are no carrier restraints in regards to firmware; To be blunt there is absolutely no reason the 800 should not have tethering.
I hope someone from Nokia takes our concern seriously.
06-03-2012 10:34
Nokia have already stated officially at MWC 2012 that tethering will be made available for the 800 and 710 by a software update, whilst the 900 and 610 will have it from launch.

Hopefully this information is ok to post then since the 'rumor' wasnt, this is from official Q+A with Nokia on the Lumia 900:
Q: When will the tethering update for the Lumia devices be pushed out?
A: It will be in coming soon for 800 and 710 via Zune update, for 610 and 900 it will be available at launch.
This is the official information from Nokia that the 'rumors' are being specualted on.

I also just got this reply yesterday from nokia support:
[quote]Thank you for contacting Nokia Careline.
We appreciate your interest for Nokia products. Please be advised that Microsoft takes very seriously meeting (and exceeding) the requirements outlined by agencies such as the FCC in the USA. They felt it was really important to fully address the concerns raised by recent FCC regulations before enabling this feature and are optimistic they can deliver on these requirements though a software update and are working diligently on that now.
[b]Our aim is to introduce wifi tethering as an update to existing products early in 2012. As of now, we will be unable to provide the exact date of when the tethering will be available on the Nokia Lumia 800. [/b]
We would like to ask for your kind patience and understanding regarding this matter. Again, thank you for your continous support for Nokia products and services.
If you have any other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again.[/quote]
An awkward date to post it on, but its a real reply.
02-04-2012 11:16 - edited 02-04-2012 11:18
We need tethering now. It took Nokia only 9 months to release a Windows Phone, but more than an extra 4 to add a basic tethering function.
AGAIN I must repeat,,,,, EUROPE/ASIA are not ruled by the FCC or Microsoft....so roll it out here first and let the US keep using Iphone, they NEVER bought Nokia's anyway.

I don't know much about meningitis, beyond what I've read, but a friend of mine does.
She had a form of it back in 1991, when she was living in
This is how she described it: "A pounding in your head as if it's going to blow off your body."
I gather it was one of the worst pains she's had. It was accompanied by dry heaves that came on "after I had thrown up everything in my body," she remembers.
She was initially misdiagnosed with the flu.
Her boyfriend at the time was a musician who had a gig that night. He checked to see if she'd be OK if he went ahead and went out, and for some reason, she said yes. (She was young.)
Fortunately for her, the young man's father came over and found her looking so poorly he insisted she go to the hospital, where she was properly diagnosed after a spinal tap.
They gave her some medicine, and the pain disappeared in a euphoric moment she says felt like nothing she'd ever felt except when she was given Valium after surgery to remove her wisdom teeth.
I like to hear people's medical stories, when they end well.
My friend is not sure hers would have. She feels she might have checked out if her boyfriend's dad had not come by.
Many of the victims in the national outbreak have been seniors who received spinal injections for lower-back pain. Infected patients are treated with anti-fungal medication by IV.
I was most surprised to learn that companies can make a variety of drugs like this steroid with no FDA oversight.
The FDA is now working with
But I'll leave that kind of judgment to the medical professionals.

At 2:36 a.m. on July 14, 2008, Kinston police found Ray Anthony Suggs dead with a gunshot to the back of his head, near the back porch of his Williams Street home.
Five years later, efforts to bring his killer to justice have stalled out.
Cmdr. Rick Harrell with the Kinston Department of Public Safety said he hoped that if people got another look at an artist's sketch of a possible suspect, "maybe that would drum up somebody's information where they would maybe give us a call and help us out, from the tip line. I did look through the case file, and without commenting on what the facts were, there was some information that had come in, and we did follow up on that, but we ran into a dead end with it."
In the early hours of July 14, Suggs and a female friend were talking on his front porch when they decided to continue their conversation walking around to the back of the residence. At that time, two black men with handguns approached the couple and told them to lay on the ground.
One man wore a black shirt and pants, while the other wore a white shirt and dark pants. They demanded money, and one searched through Suggs' pockets and removed a small amount of cash.
After asking for more money, it's believed the man in the white shirt shot Suggs at close range.
The woman told police the men fled down George Street after the shooting, and while she was able to get a look at the shooter's accomplice, she wasn't able to get a good enough view of the killer himself.
The State Bureau of Investigation worked with KDPS on the initial investigation, and Suggs' murder remains as one of the SBI's notable unsolved cases. The Suggs case has company in Kinston, as well.
"I've been here with the department 26 years, and we had a couple cases that I worked on as a crime scene investigator myself, that still have not been solved," Harrell said. "We worked a lot of leads, we thought we had suspects developed, but those leads did not pan out where we could effect arrest."
He added, "But, we do still have open cases that periodically, from time to time, we try to look at those and develop new avenues to go down."
Suggs' mother Ethel Sutton, interviewed in 2010, believed the man who took her son's life would be found.
"I know they are going to find who did it, because everyone has a conscience and sooner or later they are going to have to tell," Sutton said. "The Bible says there is not anything covered up that will not be uncovered and I know that to be true."

Before a group of teenagers escaped from the Gaston County Juvenile Detention Center on Tuesday, one of them used a set of handcuffs to beat an officer.
One guard's nose was broken.
One of the teens yanked a telephone cord to keep officers from alerting others about the attack.
Meager descriptions of escapees
But during the short-lived escape, which had the young inmates on the lam for fewer than three hours, police offered few details about the runaways.
The boys, 13, 15, 16 and 17, were from Gaston, Cleveland, Lincoln and Rowan counties.
Authorities said they could not release photos of the escapees because of their ages.
Police could only give a description of their races and clothing.
Arrest warrants have since identified the 17-year-old as Javees Alexander Camp of 223 Barwick Road, Gastonia.
He faces charges of second-degree kidnapping, larceny, conspiracy, resisting a public officer, assault with a deadly weapon on a government official and assault on a government employee in the escape.
Camp was booked into Gaston County Jail under a $100,000 bond on the new charges.
Public safety vs. juvenile rights
Capt. Bill Melton with Gaston County Police said he's never experienced an instance when the public's safety would justify making a juvenile's information public knowledge.
According to North Carolina state law, anyone 16 or older is considered an adult, meaning information on their arrest becomes public knowledge.
"North Carolina is unique in that we can incarcerate 16 and 17 year olds for traffic citations," Melton said.
Offenders younger than 16 are juveniles under the law, although a judge can determine that even those younger than 16 be tried in adult court.
Melton said the distinction lies in the court to which juveniles are assigned. If they are sent to juvenile court, the main objective is rehabilitation as opposed to punishment in adult court.
"Juvenile court is set to rehabilitate and essentially correct the behavior of the child," Melton said. "It is not geared for (only) punishment."
Inside the escape
Officer Aaron Hamrick was conducting a normal "walk through" the juvenile detention center when he was struck in the back of the head several times with metal handcuffs, say warrants.
The inmates then held detention officer Coleman Sarvis and threw a chair at him to keep him from reacting.
When detention officer Tolands Johnson attempted to call 911, one of the four inmates pulled the phone cord and disabled it, according to arrest warrants filed in the case.
The boys also attempted to handcuff Hamrick.
It was still unclear Wednesday how the four came into possession of the metal handcuffs.
Each of the inmates had felony charges, although officials would not specify whether they were charged with violent crimes.
The escape took place around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and three of the four were back in custody by 8 p.m. The fourth was found around 9 p.m.
K-9 units assisted in tracking down the youthful offenders in a wooded area behind the juvenile detention center.

Jason LangeHead Coach
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: 704-463-3252
Jason Lange was named the Pfeiffer University Head Men's Lacrosse coach on June 21, 2013 after previously serving as the assistant coach at Mars Hill College for four seasons.
In his first season at Pfeiffer, Lange guided the Falcons to a 9-5 record despite playing one of the most difficult schedules in the nation. Lange coached Hayden Kirk and Steven Tilmon to Third Team USILA All-American honors and placed eight players on the First and Second Team All-Conference.
As a member of the Mars Hill coaching staff, Lange served as the defensive coordinator where he guided the defense to the unparalleled success. His 2010 unit allowed only 6.43 goals per game, which ranked in the top-10 nationally and was the best mark in program history. Also in 2010, the Lions man down unit ranked number one in the country, killing off 89.3% of opponent's man up opportunities. Last season, Lange helped Mars Hill to an 11-3 record, also a school record, and has helped take the team to three consecutive Deep South Conference regular season championships.
In total, Lange has coached five All-Americans, 22 All-Conference standouts, three Conference Players of the Year, and one Conference Freshman of the Year. He also coached three players that were drafted into the National Lacrosse League, and one player that signed with a Major League Lacrosse team.
Prior to joining the Lions' coaching staff, Lange was a standout on the field for Mars Hill. He served as a defenseman from 2004-09 where he helped lead the team to a Deep South Conference tournament championship in 2008 and a regular season title in 2009. Following the 2009 season, Lange represented the USA at the Berlin Open in Germany and helped lead the team to the championship game.
Lange holds a bachelor's degree in physical education with a minor in coaching.
Nicholas AcquavivaAssistant Coach
Head men's lacrosse coach Jason Lange has announced the addition of Nicholas Acquaviva to the Men's Lacrosse coaching staff.
Acquaviva was a four-year starter at New England College and earned back-to-back All-Conference honors. In his junior season, he was named an honorable mention to the Commonwealth Coast All-Conference team and garnered Second Team All-North Atlantic Conference honors as a senior.
"Nick will be a great addition to our program," Lange said. "As a player, he has performed well on the big stage and I believe our defense and goalies will benefit tremendously from his passion and coaching ability."
Acquaviva paced the Pilgrims to 37 wins in his career and capped it by leading the program to a conference title as a senior. Acquaviva made 11 saves in the NAC championship game, an 18-7 win over Castleton State, which sent his team to the NCAA Tournament and earned him Tournament MVP honors.
Acquaviva finished his career with 73 starts, 775 saves - 20th in NCAA Division III history - and a .586 save percentage.
After his junior year, Acquaviva was also selected to participate in the NCAA Career in Sports Forum in Indianapolis.
"I am excited to continue my coaching career at Pfeiffer, a school that has shown great success over the last six years," Acquaviva said. "I hope my hard work will help the Falcons continue that success."
Anthony LaMarcaAssistant Coach
Head men's lacrosse coach Jason Lange has announced the addition of Anthony LaMarca to his coaching staff.
LaMarca is a 2012 graduate of Pfeiffer University and earned degrees in Criminal Justice and Forensic Accounting. LaMarca is originally from Sayville, NY where he was a four year varsity player, leading his high school team to the Suffolk County Championship game as a sophomore.
During his time in Misenheimer, LaMarca was a four time All-Conference selection at close defense. As a senior, he was selected to the 2012 USILA All-America Second Team, the first All-America selection the Falcons had garnered in 10 years. LaMarca also represented Pfeiffer in the prestigious Division I/II North/South All-Star Game.
LaMarca will serve as a defensive assistant for the Falcons.
"Coach LaMarca has a tremendous knowledge of the game of lacrosse, especially on defense," commented Lange. "Our defensemen, as well as everyone in our program, will benefit from his knowledge, teaching ability and discipline."

Bless her heart. June Atkinson was well intentioned with her idea this week of exempting teachers from personal income taxes. But the idea is problematic. A reasonable case can be made for exempting from such taxes a number of others in worthy professions — firefighters, police officers, nurses to name a few.
Yet Atkinson's suggestion at least makes more sense than Gov. Pat McCrory's urging this week that state education leaders devise ways to boost teacher pay. Ahem, Governor Pat. That's the job we've given you and N.C. legislators.
To his credit, McCrory did include in his budget a pay raise for teachers. Though at 1 percent, it's too little. N.C. legislators included no pay increase for educators in their budget plans. N.C. teachers have seen only one 1.2 percent pay hike since 2008. The state is now shamefully scraping the bottom of national rankings in teacher compensation. Only four states do worse than us in paying teachers.
So, Atkinson's recommendation was a way to at least give teachers some boost in income this year.
And lawmakers aren't just shafting teachers on pay. They've proposed a number of other initiatives that would make being an N.C. educator less attractive. Among other things, they've cut the number of teaching assistants, slashed money for teacher development, increased class sizes by 25 percent and jettisoned bonuses for advanced degrees.
Teachers recently confronted one lawmaker at a forum. Many called the plans demoralizing. One high school teacher who makes $34,000 said her salary isn't enough to enable her and her husband to afford health insurance for their three children.
Some Republican lawmakers have already panned Atkinson's proposal. Republican Rep. David Lewis of Harnett County, who helped craft the House tax plans, called Atkinson's suggestion an idea that was not "as well thought out as it should have been."
But exempting teachers from income taxes isn't new or wacky.
Other countries already exempt teachers from paying income taxes. Pakistanis are involved in a heated discussion right now about whether to retain its 75 percent tax exemption on salaries of teachers. The government recently decided to withdraw the exemption.
The idea has also been considered in other U.S. states. It was proposed in California in 2000 but wasn't enacted.
In 2011, former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska and Leo Hindery, chairman of the Smart Globalization Initiative at the New America Foundation and former chair of Teach for America suggested a national initiative. In an opinion piece, they wrote that teachers "are far and away the most difficult public servants to recruit and retain" and that providing "federal income tax relief to teachers would be a powerful response" to the demand for them "and an important step toward restoring the health of our national economy and our global competitiveness."
Atkinson estimated the cost to give teachers this tax break would be about $300 million. The state Department of Public Instruction tagged it at $250 million. And though she offered no place to find the money, she did note this apt analogy: "Much has been said about the need for North Carolina to become more competitive with our surrounding states when it comes to corporate income taxes. Those supporting a cut in corporate income taxes say that the reduction will attract more corporations and then we will have more jobs for North Carolinians."
She added: "The General Assembly proposed budgets do not include salary increases for teachers, but corporations expanding or locating in North Carolina certainly need workers who are educated — the work of teachers."
Atkinson's plan isn't going anywhere in this legislature, and shouldn't. It's too problematic. But lawmakers' proposals to slash education funding — K-12 funding has fallen by $170 million in the past five years, notes the Department of Public Instruction — and freeze teacher pay, again, is even more problematic. They should change course.
Good teachers are already fleeing the state. These moves could likely hasten the exodus — and North Carolina's free fall to the education bottom.

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Sophomore guard Reggie Johnson scored 21 points to lead the Miami University men's basketball team at Evansville on Saturday afternoon, but it was not enough as the Purple Aces collected a 78-65 win.
It was the third 20-point scoring effort this season for Johnson, who eclipsed the 20-point mark in Miami's first two games of the season. Johnson also added a career-high eight assists to his line. Sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight and senior forward Will Felder were the other RedHawks to score in double figures with 13 apiece. It was a career-high-tying mark for McKnight. Felder also had a team-best six rebounds and two blocked shots
The Purple Aces (6-3) led from the start of the first half and built a 12-point lead by the 9:57 mark, 23-11. Miami (1-5) went on a 7-1 flurry to shrink the gap to six by the 8:27 mark, 24-18. After a triple by freshman forward Joshua Oswald, Johnson knocked down four straight points for the Red and White during the surge.
The teams went back and forth, but Evansville began to extend their lead, pushing it to 12 points with 1:32 to go in the opening 20 minutes. A bucket by Johnson with 40 seconds left put the Purple Aces' lead at 10, which they carried into the half.
In the second half, Evansville extended its lead to 16 points, 52-36, by the 11:11 mark, but Miami chiseled away and was able to cut the deficit to single digits, 58-50, off a Felder layup with 6:32 to go. That was as close as Miami got as the Purple Aces went on to the 13-point win.
Evansville's D.J. Balentine led all players with 22 points.
Miami has eight days off for final examinations before returning to action on Sunday, Dec. 15 when the RedHawks host local-rival Wright State at 2 p.m. at Millett Hall.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3389fn/russia) has announced the addition of the "Russia Information Technology Report Q4 2012" report to their offering.
Russian IT spending is expected to reach US$21.4bn in 2012, up 11%, with the market set to receive a boost after Russia's historic entry into the WTO, finally confirmed in August 2012. IT services vendors reported stronger demand from Russian organisations in 2011 as the market bounced back. The broader use of ICT in government and other sectors will ensure an upward market trajectory in the medium term, along with major projects in other key sectors such as banking and oil and gas, and a restructuring of the utilities sector.
Key Trends & Developments
- Russia's WTO entry should boost the hardware sector through cuts in taxes on imports, which currently amount to 5-15% of a product's added value. However, much will depend on the government's ability to maintain an environment conducive to further development, including an effective customs regime, low import duties and generally transparent business environment.
Many challenges remain, specifically for the IT sector, and further government action is needed in areas such as protecting intellectual property rights and creating a sound legal framework.
- Vendors will look to opportunities in the public sector, which has launched a number of egovernment service pilots in areas ranging from universal identity cards to online fee payment.
- There is currently a big disparity between the level of demand in the major cities and the provinces, with the headquarters of most major domestic and multinational being located in Moscow or St Petersburg. However, a growing installed base of hardware and software platforms in provincial areas will fuel more spending on services.
Publication Overview
The Russia Information Technology Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, information technology associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Russia's information technology industry.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehe...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

The recent trends like cloud computing, social, mobile and Internet of Things are forcing enterprises to modernize in order to compete in the competitive globalized markets. However, enterprises are approaching newer technologies with a more silo-ed way, gaining only sub optimal benefits. The Modern Enterprise model is presented as a newer way to think of enterprise IT, which takes a more holistic approach to embracing modern technologies.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by witewitch from Perfect finishing touch This shelf was the perfect finishing touch to my victorian bathroom. Understated elegance. As well as the exceptional quality one expects from Kohler products. If I were to have to make a suggestion as to how this shelf could be made even better, I would suggest that Kohler make small caps to conceal the screws that attach the shelf to the wall, much like the ceramic caps on a toilet bowl conceal the floor bolts. As I mounted my shelf at about eye level, and don't like to see the metal screws. That indeed would be the perfect finishing touch! Nonetheless, I'm extremely happy with how the shelf completes the bathroom.

text: What else could be used logo wise for the Dukes? I know I'd use the sword/shield logo that I made for the Knights. I love that logo. But where else could we take the Dukes? I think that name would have to go the same route as the Krewe meaning our city name would have to follow after it, Dukes of New Orleans, which IMO doesn't sound that bad! It's still different and along the same lines as the Krewe.

MARK KEOHANE writes that Duane Vermeulen in the past fortnight has shown the form deserving of a Springbok incumbent.
Vermeulen led the Stormers intensity and aggression against the Chiefs and he was equally present against the Sharks a week earlier. He struggled for an impression against the Bulls, largely due to his tight five taking a beating.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has always rated Vermeulen the No 1 and said Vermeulen would have started in the opening Test against England in 2012 had he been fit.
Should Vermeulen maintain fitness for the international season he will definitely start and on historical discussion with Meyer it will be a choice of Pierre Spies or Ryan Kankowski to provide loose-forward impact off the bench.
Spies was good against the Stormers, went missing for large parts of the game against the Force and very good against the Blues. His best role from a national perspective could be as a super sub when the game has loosened. It would make his contribution no less to the Bok cause and with the game's evolution of substitutes more and more the strength of the bench is the difference between the good and the very good sides.
Some players are better utilized in a starting capacity and others can be devastating when introduced against fatigued defences and when the game has opened up.
Spies and Francois Hougaard immediately come to mind as a duo who could give the Boks huge impact if introduced to make impact and not as starting options. Again it is a compliment to their strengths and not an indictment of weakness.
Vermeulen, so often the bridesmaid in terms of national selection, has consistently been among the form loose-forwards in Super Rugby, but since making his Test debut late last year there is a maturity and confidence that can only come with international exposure.
South Africa is blessed with quality loose-forwards, more so than any other country, if you consider what is playing domestically and abroad. It obviously is all about getting the combinations going, but the form of Siya Kolisi, Arno Botha, Lappies Labsuchagne, Jacques Engelbrecht, Luke Watson (in the opening 30), Heinrich Brussow (in his comeback 30) and Coetzee has been more than encouraging.
Then you've got Willem Alberts and Schalk Burger to come back form injury, as well as Keagan Daniel.
Overseas Francois Louw has been the form South African loose-forward. And there are so many others doing well in France.
But for me it starts with a presence at No 8 and the man currently in possession of the Bok No 8 jersey has that presence.

HAVELOCK – The Havelock Rams trailed 3-0, and had only cranked out two base hits through five innings Thursday against West Carteret, before eventually falling 6-4.
Leadoff man Pharoh Cooper hit a double off the left field wall in the top of the sixth that just missed leaving the yard.
RBI Singles from Will Blythe and Ryan Lewis cut the Rams' deficit to 3-2 after six.
West Carteret then pounded out three runs on three hits in the top of the seventh to stake a 6-2 lead going into the bottom of the frame.
Cooper came up again in the seventh with two outs and reached on a single, followed by another single from Blythe.
Freshman Cameron Carpenter hit a roller back to relief pitcher Patrick Field, who proceeded to fire the ball into right field, allowing Cooper and Blythe to reach home and make it a 6-4 ballgame.
Field then struck out pinch-hitter David Escobar to end the game.
"We had a shot there when we got it to 3-2, but made an error and some bad pitches and dug ourselves right back into a hole in the top of the seventh and we can't do that," Havelock coach Charlie Smith said.
"We have to get better offensively. We haven't been hitting well. I've thought we've gotten very solid pitching performances out of this team, and we practice our offense and guys get hot here and there, but we have to be more consistent."
Cooper and Blythe both went 2-for-4 and accounted for four of the Rams' seven hits in the contest.
Lewis, a sophomore second baseman, had two more, going 2-for-3 for the game.
Josh Little started on the mound for Havelock, tossing five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) with one walk and three strikeouts.
"I thought Josh (Little) was awesome tonight. Aron (Rossi) came in and struggled a little bit in relief, but our pitching has carried us this year," Smith said.
"Most of our guys' batting averages on the team aren't much higher than our pitchers' ERAs and that's never a good thing. We just have to get our hitting going better."
Havelock falls to 6-7 on the year and 2-4 in the Coastal Conference.
The Rams will play Heritage Friday in the Easter tournament at D.H. Conley High School in Greenville.

Okay, Harris supposedly addresses Dennett fans.
He didn't defend his use of dualistic language, by the way.
Issue number 1:
Dan seems to think that free will is like color: People might have some erroneous beliefs about it, but the experience of freedom and its attendant moral responsibilities can be understood in a similarly straightforward way through science. I think that free will is an illusion and that analogies to phenomena like color do not run through. A better analogy, also taken from the domain of vision, would liken free will to the sense that most of us have of visual continuity.
This discussion should not be dominated by analogies: Analogies are there to help thinking, but as arguments in and of themselves, it is weak thinking and bad philosophy.
While color vision survives close inspection, our conventional sense of visual continuity does not. The impression we have of seeing everything all at once, clearly, and without interruption is based on our not paying close attention to what it is like to see. I argue that the illusory nature of free will can also be noticed in this way. As with the illusion of visual continuity, the evidence of our confusion is neither far away nor deep within; rather, it is right on the surface of experience, almost too near to us to be seen.
Of course, we could take Dan's approach and adjust the notion of "continuity" so that it better reflected the properties of human vision, giving us a new concept of seamless visual perception that is "worth wanting."
What is important to see here is the sleight-of-hand move of first giving his own analogy, and then mapping it on the supposed view of Dennett. Just as you can see in the first quote, the analogy Dennett has apparently given (I haven't read this from Dennett, but I haven't read Elbow Room yet, so maybe he has expressed this analogy, though it is still weak to have this discussion dominated by mere analogies) is about colour. Then, like a thief in the night, silently, hoping that nobody notices, he adjusts Dennett's analogy to suite his own purposes. This is intellectually dishonest.
Now there's a lot I agree with overall in what he wrote in response, and I can sympathize with the moral argument, but this is still wrong.

Suggested Price: $349.00
The question defines irony: how does a bookshelf speaker in this class, with these dimensions, deliver sound reproduction so big? Perhaps not so ironic when you consider they are the new Series 3 Bookshelf Speakers from Pioneer.
With relentless attention to detail, these speakers were designed to satisfy both movie and music lovers. Together, clean lines and innovative features make them the quintessential speakers in their class for home theater systems, delivering the kind of high performance and outstanding quality that makes for a stunning audio experience.
Passion Translated Into Sound
Pioneer has been the industry leader in audio design and engineering firsts for over 70 years. This heritage of passion for high-end audio represents everything we have learned about accurate sound reproduction.
A descendant of our revered EX speaker line, the S-31B-LR-K incorporates some of our most advanced technology to deliver pristine sound:
Working with its unique cabinet construction, Pioneer's exclusive ABD (Acoustic Balance Drive) and AFAST (Acoustical Filter Assisted System Tuning) sound tuning technologies work with the driver and port placement in the cabinet to eliminate vertical standing waves, resulting in precise and dynamic bass with no low midrange coloration.
It isn't a difficult conclusion to reach. Superior sound components, materials and technology get you closer to the music and soundtrack than ever before.
Ahead of the Curve
The S-31B-LR-K speakers utilize a true curved cabinet design. So besides the aesthetics being considerably more pleasing, this stiffer design reduces standing sound waves inside the cabinet, resulting in high-performance and exceptional sound quality.
Beautiful and elegant in their own right, the speaker grills are flush-mounted to the cabinet. Beyond visually pleasing design, they also do a superior job of protecting the speaker drivers.
Place the S-31B-LR-K speakers precisely where the sound will be most appealing to you, with the optional telescoping metal CP-31B speaker stand (sold separately).
