I love this perfume. When I came across it here, I was ecstatic be side many people didn't know Hugo Boss made this (they thought I was talking about Red Door). Now I'm able to purchase my all time favorite again!

This perfume gets me compliments whenever I wear it. I first bought it more than 10 years ago and since then, it has been my signature scent. It really mixes well whith certain Victoria's Secret's body lotions: luscious kisses for exemple. I give it a 10!

Golabki (Set of 2 Cans)
Enjoy Homemade-Style Stuffed Cabbage Rolls Without the Work—Just Heat and Serve
Golabki (Set of 2 Cans) 12 12
Unbelieveably delicious I could not believe how good these were. The cabbage was extremely tender, the sauce was a just right consistency, and the filing was fresh and meaty tasting. Served with a salad and a side of peas, the 2 servings really were enough for a second meal of the cabbage rolls. Well worth the price! I would never go to the trouble to prepare these for our small family of two. May 7, 2014
You wouldn't believe these come in a can! I have sampled many homemade cabbage rolls and these are as good as most a even better than a few of them. Each can contains two cabbage rolls and a lovely sauce - enough for a very reasonably sized main course. I highly recommend keeping a few cans in you pantry for a real treat unlike any thing else you just heat and eat. The taste is wonderful... April 4, 2014
Good old comfort food The sauce is delicious. I never liked cabbage before, until now. March 22, 2014
YUM, YUM One of my employees gave me a couple of cans since she knew I like stuffed cabbage. I was pleasantly surprised how good they tasted for something out of the can. I have bought frozen ones before that weren't as good as yours. I would always recommend them to my friends. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. February 20, 2014
Love your Golabki I really love your Golabki. It's the perfect easy-to-fix meal. I do not think it's too expensive, since it's an entire meal in a can. I ordered it once and am ordering it again. November 30, 2013
To porky for me. To porky for me. October 30, 2013
Give it a try. Seldom have I ever eaten Polish food, but have always enjoyed the Polish foods I've tried. I love cabbage and pork, so these sounded good especially after reading the other reviews, so I gave them a try and love them. September 26, 2013
Love Golabki Absolutely love your Golabki. First learned to like it in 1966 while in the Army when my wifes grandmother from Poland used to visit Germany. Hers was fresh, homemade, and some of the best I ever had. I am not going to say yours taste the same, but it is very close and is just as delicious... Thanks a lot... May 21, 2013

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, says the Springboks have always known what it takes to beat Samoa.
Australia on Sunday showed Samoa very little respect – and paid the price. The Springboks won't make the same mistake at this year's World Cup when the play the Samoans at the North Harbour Stadium in Albany.
South Africa's approach will not have been influenced by Samoa's first win against the Wallabies yesterday.
The Springboks have always shown the Samoans the utmost respect, and it is because the Samoans physically can match the Boks. Historically, though, the Islanders have managed an intensity that lasts only half the game and when the conditioning of a player isn't good enough, neither is his focus or discipline.
The Boks have always known to prepare for a first half mugging from the Samoans with the knowledge that the second half will be a different game. The Samoans, to use a boxing analogy, have always boxed themselves out against the equally tough Boks.
The immediate reaction to Samoa's win in Sydney on the social network services and among the media was rather predictable.
'Let this serve as a World Cup wake up call for the Boks … Samoa won't be easy … the Boks can take nothing for granted … and … and … and …'
There is no need for a South African wake-up call because Samoa, on the merits of the side that started against the post Super Rugby mix and match selection the Wallabies put together, were comfortably the equal of the hosts player for player.
There were more first-team regulars not playing than what started for Australia against Samoa – and don't ignore this fact because of the romance of the Samoan win.
Samoa's best played on Sunday. The history makers – as they will forever be known in Samoan rugby – either play Super Rugby or they play in Europe's premier competitions. You only had to follow their end-of-year European tour to know they will not be easy beats at the World Cup. For those in need of a reminder the Samoans were within a few minutes of knocking over Ireland in Dublin and England beat them by 10 at Twickenham.
Every Bok who has ever played against the Samoans knows that the 50-point average score does not do justice to the aches and pains associated with the occasion.
Every match against the Samoans is a physical confrontation from which there isn't an escape. Genetically their blokes have the edge, but when comes to will, strength of mind and strategic and tactical approach, the Boks have been the masters.
The Boks average 50 points a Test against Samoa, but in the last World Cup the first 40 minutes against the Samoans in Paris was probably the toughest the Boks played in the tournament.
The Boks led 9-7 at half time and Bok coach at the time Jake White admitted to not knowing what to do in the opening 30 minutes, such was the Samoan presence in any contact situation.
White said the first half physicality was something his team had not encountered against anyone and all that he hoped was that the Islanders would not be able to sustain it. They didn't and the Boks won 59-7. The 2007 World Cup Samoan coach (the All Blacks great flanker) Michael Jones lambasted his squad's lack of conditioning.
He said for Samoa to evolve as a team the players needed to be more professional about their day-to-day approach to rugby as profession. Jones specifically was referring to the sub-standard individual match conditioning when compared with the likes of South Africa.
He also said the team needed to play together more between World Cups and that it did not serve Samoa's ambitions as a rugby nation that the only time they could field their best team was every four years at the World Cup.
The situation has improved. The core of the side that beat Australia on Sunday played Super Rugby this year and the others are influential players in Europe. Most of them also toured together last November.
I did not think Samoa would win in Sydney because I never have a belief in their ability to last 80 minutes against any of the top five. I also did not think the Wallabies would be so poor, but one can't ignore the significance of the Reds first Super Rugby triumph and the impact it would have had on Australian preparations.
Mentally those Reds players were still in transit from Super Rugby to the Tri-Nations, and the others who were not involved in the Super Rugby final win played the first 30 minutes as if it was a contact training session with predetermined moves.
The Boks, against Samoa, have never made the mistake of not taking points, of not playing with structure and of not matching them at the breakdown. Give the Bok players the credit they deserve when it comes to knowing what is required to beat Samoa.
See the Samoan win yesterday for what it was … their best on a good day making rugby history against Australia's second best on a bad day.

The Ford Aerostar was introduced in the 1986 model year. A frontal airbag for the driver became standard beginning with the 1992 model year.
Measures taken from the chest and right leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that injuries to the head would be possible. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be likely.
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. The dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, and the wheel broke off from its column.

- The Easton Mako Ice Pant is the premier pant from the Mako line. Most pants struggle with being too protective and not mobile enough or they are very mobile and not protective enough. Easton found the near perfect balance with the Mako ice pant.
One way Easton accomplished maximum protection and mobility is with the split shell design. This design utilizes large stretch gussets that wrap nearly front to back. This gusset conjoins a very durable 840D and 420D nylons in the high-abrasion areas allowing excellent mobility while also boosting protection by keeping pads in the right places. Another stretch gusset begins in the crotch area and carries all the way to the rear end, and splits down the inner thighs as well keeping the Mako ideology "Natural Movement = Mobility" alive in this part of the protective line.
The protection provided from the Easton Mako pant is second to none. The kidney protection has layers of a thick high density foam with perforated medium density foams, making for a very lightweight and protective guard. The abdomen is protected by a layer of perforated medium density foam and the hips are protected by two segments of thick high-density foams with HDPE plastic inserts. The thigh padding consists of a thick layer of EPP foam with a HDPE plastic insert on top while the spine and tailbone protection is constructed of a large number of segments of perforated medium density foams, high density foams and HDPE plastic inserts; all insuring the best protection required at the highest levels of play. The two-way belt system has a very natural feel the way it sits on the hips without bunching or restricting a player's movement.

The lights that have helped define the Crescent City Connection bridge will fade from the night skyline of New Orleans -- at least for now. The state Department of Transportation announced Friday the bridge will go dark.
The DOTD says it no longer has the money to light the bridge after a judge suspended the tolls on the CCC.
According to the DOTD, the decorative lights cost about $60,000 a year to operate and maintain -- $15,000 of which goes to pay the electric bill.
The Young Leadership Council spent the past few days offering to use its own funds to temporarily cover the cost of the lighting. The YLC says it will continue to work toward a short- and long-term solution.
'I think at this point, yes, it does come on all of us to say that we need to keep these lit and show the world that we are a world-class city,' said Richard Pavlick of Young Leadership Council.
Currently, there is no agency willing to accept the YLC's offer. A city spokesman says Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration has not been involved in efforts to keep the decorative lighting on beyond this weekend.
The Regional Planning Authority, which was appointed to oversee the bridge operation, cannot act without a vote of its board.
'The Department of Transportation just cannot enter into a contract with an individual or a group like the YLC,' said state Rep. Austin Badon. 'They have to enter into an agreement with a local municipality or some organization like the Regional Planning Commission.

In 1964, the Children's Home Society of Virginia (CHS) sought to make use of the power of radio, requesting some air time from WRVA to let the public know of a problem it faced. Taking this request several steps beyond the agency's expectations, WRVA co-producers Harry Monroe and Brick Rider crafted a comprehensive documentary designed to illuminate "the problem of the unwanted child." As the program explained, the number of children available for adoption was greater than the number of families stepping forward to parent them. The CHS hoped to alleviate this imbalance by detailing their services, debunking misconceptions about adoption, and making the public aware of the need for adoptive parents. A transcript of "A Child Is Waiting," the resulting documentary, is found in the Records of the Children's Home Society of Virginia (Accession 44227).
Airing 23-27 November 1964, first individually as nine five-minute segments and then as one complete program, the documentary included interviews with CHS staff, boarding mothers (the women in whose care children were placed while awaiting placement), adoptive parents, and perhaps most poignantly, an unwed mother who had given her child up for adoption. The issue was examined from all angles in a way that CHS Executive Director Lois Benedict described in a 9 March 1966 letter as "a deeply understanding presentation…avoiding the clichés and inaccurate dramatics that are … read more »

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Miami and Ohio State engaged in a pitchers' duel with a fourth-inning run being the only scoring in a 1-0 Buckeyes' victory over the RedHawks Wednesday night at Bill Davis Stadium. A Miami rally in the ninth was ended with a double-play grounder.
Ohio State's lone run didn't even involve a hit as Clay Cinnamon -- the second of six RedHawk pitchers -- plunked a batter, then moved him to third with back-to-back wild pitches. A groundout to second gave the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead.
Ryan Elble and Nate Bowles had stray hits in the sixth and seventh, respectively, before Miami (12-12) tried to rally in the ninth. With one out, Matt Honchel reached on an infield single, then Alex Johnson caught the Buckeye infield napping for a bunt single. But Kevin Bower grounded into a 4-3 double play to end the contest.
Miami's pitching staff allowed only two hits combined, while striking out six. Starter Brian Thene gave up both hits, while fanning one one in his three innings of work. Freshman Shane Kriss struck our three of the six batters he faced over 1.2 innings.
Ohio State's Jake Post (1-0) picked up the win, while Cinnamon (1-1) took the hard-luck loss. Trace Dempsey earned his ninth save of the year by pitching the ninth. The Buckeyes improved to 18-8 this season, throwing their second straight shutout.
Miami returns to Mid-American Conference play on Friday when it starts a three-game series at Akron. Game times are 3 p.m. for the opener, then 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The RedHawks are in sole possession of first place with a 5-1 mark.

Maybe if somebody offered a darn solid starting SF on a good contract, but overall I think Gravy has a spot on this team for the future.
The debate about who should start in the point guard position this year for the Hornets has been repeatedly posted in several threads recently, but there is an aspect of the situation that has not been discussed at all. What are the consequences for potential trades next year of starting Vasquez or Rivers? The way I see the future plan of the team is developing Rivers so he becomes the long term starting point guard of the team. But I dont think Vasquez will be the long term second guard as that may be relatively expensive for the team. So what about this scenario: Vasquez starts this year for pretty much all season and posts something like 13 PPG, 8 APG and 2TOPG (this is slightly optimistic but possible) while Rivers plays about 22 MPG mainly as back up PG and some time as second guard and develops nicely so he is ready to be a starting point guard the following season. If this scenario comes through, then we will be in a really sweet spot for next off season as we would have the starting PG position covered by a developed Rivers and we would have a 26 years old Vasquez that with the numbers I mentioned as a full year starting PG would be very attractive for different teams so we can trade him for whatever we need at the time.
What do you guys think?
Maybe if somebody offered a darn solid starting SF on a good contract, but overall I think Gravy has a spot on this team for the future.
I dont think we will trade him because he is very cheap...
I agree with mr west and hf97, Vasquez is a cheap pg who has played well for us. Also Rivers' development is a big factor.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Yea Vasquez isnt going to be getting any pay raises. Whats he making this year? Around 3 mill?
He is a great backup though. You wont get a starter for him so if its not a lottery first round i wouldn't do it.
Whats he making this year? Around 3 mill?[/QUOTE]
I actually don't know, he came in with a year left of a two years deal at minimum salary with Memphis, I don't know how much we are giving him for this season. Does anyone knows?
2012-13: $1,191,240.
2013-14: $2,150,188.
2014-15: $3,203,780 [Team Option].
Looks like we have for 3 years and then some! Hopefully he will always be a Hornet.
2012-13: $2,947,800.
2013-14: $3,749,602. {Team Option}
2013-14: $3,201,369.
2014-15: $4,405,083.
2012-13: $2,500,000.
2013-14: $3,500,000.
No one else is updated haha. Such a new team!
I just don't see the point in trading a young PG on a rookie salary if he is averaging a near double-double. We traded for him, so we obviously like him, and we developed him. Demps and Monty love him. It would have to be a damn good offer for us to trade him, IMO.
I think we (as we should be in my opinion) are very high on Gravy. I think he is under-rated by many on this board. Granted he is OVER-RATED by many as well....
Say Rivers becomes the starting PG, you can do A LOT worse then Gravy as a backup... Antonio Daniels comes to mind........
Rivers is very raw. I personally don't foresee him starting this season. I could be wrong but i think he'll be a project for at least a year or two.
I love him but in all honesty he is a project. He has never played the position before so its a pretty steep learning curve.
The more important question is how is Vasques going to put up 13 and 8 in 26 minutes with Rivers playing 22 minutes at backup point like you said. Longterm I think Vasques is the perfect energy backup pg who can run a team. He's not the type of player that's going to have a lot of trade value. I'd hang on to him.
Vasquez is still developing his game also, but he is further along than Rivers and is a very solid pg, who knows Monty system and fits in well with this team, also he is inexpensive and can play sg and pg when needed. I say he brings alot to the table and should not be traded.
Vasques played 26 minutes last season and put up 9 points and 5.5 assists
even with improvement you're looking at about 11 points 7 assists max in 30 min
Don't see any point in trading him, he's a good pass first Point whose jumper looks to have improved. Just check the Venezuela Mexico game. Next to Eric Gordon he will be a good matchup. IF and I mean IF!!!! Rivers pans out as a decent player who can play both 1/2 he would be a perfect Jason Terry/ Manu type guy off the bench. Comes in and offers scoring from either position, which in the NBA, not alot of 2nd unit players can do. If Gravy goes for 13/8 this year and we can extend him for a reasonable price I'd be all for it. The guy leaves everything on the court and plays with more heart than possibly anyone in the NBA, you can't teach that.

Happy Trails!
I've ran the Dear Astronomer blog for the past five years. During the time that I've been blogging, I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people in the space and astronomy world, make some great friends, and help do my part to spread the message of science.
With all of that being said, my life is in a much different place than it was five years ago, and as much as it pains me, I simply do not have the time to deliver content on this site with a level of quality I feel my readers deserve.
I'll continue to be posting on Google+ and Twitter, and certainly will be continuing my astronomy outreach efforts. Thank you all for reading my posts over the years, and following my successful journey to become a professional astronomer.
Help Save NASA's ISSLive! Website!
Frequent visitors to the NASA Live ISS Telemetry website ( http://spacestationlive.nasa.gov/ ) have spotted an official notice stating the site will be shutting down in two weeks.
I can't stress how incredibly awesome the ISS live site is. With a few clicks of a mouse, visitors can get real-time telemetry from the solar arrays, communications systems, propulsion, and other systems. It's kind of like looking at the bridge displays on Star Trek!
The notice suggests that people concerned about the site deactivation contact Jennifer B. Price at [email protected] with "ISS Live Web Site" in the Subject. If you value this incredibly unique (and educational) website, I suggest you drop an email to Jennifer, and express your support in a courteous, professional manner. You can also contact your congressperson, as congress is responsible for NASA's budget.
If you decide to contact your congressperson, keep in mind that e-mails are usually the lowest priority. If you can, call or fax their office. Failing that, type up a letter and mail it to their office.
Human space exploration has been an incredible source of inspiration for my scientific career, and I'm sure there are countless others who draw inspiration from all of NASA's educational efforts, including the ISSLive! site. Let's work together and try to save this incredible resource!.
UPDATE – 03/27/2014 : Due to the incredible show of support, the ISS Live! site will be continuing to operate for the time being. Be sure to drop by the site and share your suggestions on how project managers can improve the site.

Victor Matfield was feeling a bit homesick when SA Rugby magazine's Ryan Vrede visited him in Toulon.
'You know the A80 highway, right?' Sure. 'Take the A80 from the training ground in the direction of Marseilles. You'll see the Carquieranne signboards after about 10km and you want to veer off right then. Follow the road through three roundabouts before hitting a left. The road winds through a mountain and you'll get to Avenue De Mist. I'm number 42. There's a big green gate in the front. You can't miss it.'
It seemed simple enough for SA Rugby magazine to find Victor Matfield's Toulon home. Two and a half days in the southern France city was enough to inspire confidence that it would be a simple mission – even though by this stage I was convinced the GPS system was in need of exorcism.
It turned out to be mission impossible.
Twenty minutes pass and we have already called Matfield four times to ask for directions. A half hour later we're in the meandering pass through the mountain that takes you up to Matfield's home. Our Renault Clio rental is not keen on the steep incline, accelerating uphill with the speed, power and enthusiasm of a 40-year-old Os du Randt.
The road is so narrow that only one car can pass at a time, with the other forced into the dense bush that lines the roadside. Armed with the knowledge that the French place absolutely no material value on their vehicles, we end up in that bush more times than we care to remember. The arduous journey does, however, seem worthwhile when we arrive at Matfield's pad.
Three storeys tall, the Provençal-style home overlooks the Mediterranean, the harbour and Carquieranne town centre. It's like a scene from one of those movies your girlfriend insists you watch, and you secretly enjoy, despite your manly grunts to the contrary. George Gregan stays in a nearby suburb he's dubbed 'California', while Andrew Mehrtens and Tana Umaga stay within 5km of Matfield. Monaco and St Tropez are a short drive away, and the island of Corsica can be seen from Matfield's balcony. 'I had the choice of staying there,' he points out, 'but travelling to and from practice would have been an absolute nightmare.'
During the 2007 World Cup, Matfield made two trips to Toulon to look at houses the club had picked out for him. Perhaps 'houses' is an inaccurate term (mansions would be more apt) because no expense was spared in ensuring that he would be comfortable in his new surroundings. Money wasn't an issue when it came to his home. The club took care of it in the same way it set him up with everything else he needed or wanted. He is negotiating the trip between Toulon's training ground and home in a club-sponsored Golf GTI, until his Toureg, a high-class SUV, arrives. Toulon is in the process of fully furnishing his home, and someone at the club's head office would probably make the 30km trip from the city centre to mow his lawn or stir his coffee if he asked.
To say Matfield is worshipped in Toulon would be an understatement. Rugby is a religion in the city. And Matfield is God.
It's a morning practice and about 100 middle-aged chain-smoking Frenchmen have turned up to watch their deity train alongside legendary team-mates Gregan, Merhtens, Anton Oliver and head coach Umaga.
By the afternoon session that number had swelled to 300 (I'm told that the captain's run on Fridays attracts about 2 000 spectators), all discussing one thing: the impact Matfield has made since his arrival.
Matfield took just two minutes into his debut to capture the hearts of the Toulon faithful. His first contribution was a sinew-ripping tackle, before he stole two line-outs. Then he proved to be a secure target for Oliver to aim at on their own throw. Five minutes later he was dragged down 10m from the tryline.
'If he had scored from that try the stadium would have cracked in half because of the noise the fans would have made,' Patrick Fornet, president of the Toulon supporters club, says. 'Matfield has been an absolute star for us.
Here in Toulon, Matfield is God.'
'God' takes 20 minutes to make the 80m walk from the car park to the change room before practice. Signing autographs, posing for pictures and talking rugby with his disciples has become part and parcel of daily life. So much so that 'God' took an hour to get to the post-match function after an away game to Mont-De-Marsan – and Toulon lost that one.
But even 'God' isn't resting on his laurels. Matfield's work ethic at practice is outstanding, and his conditioning is certainly not in question. He consistently beats loose forwards in 20m sprints and was at the head of the pack in repeat 80m brisk runs. His team-mates report that his gym work is unmatched and he has voluntarily taken highly rated France U20 lock Yoann Maestri under his wing.
'Honestly, there were two primary factors for me coming here – the money and the appeal of being able to spend more time with my family,' Matfield explains.
'Two or three seasons here would set me up for life financially, and being able to see my wife Monja and daughter Jaime every day is something I'm loving. But there's a perception that I've got an easy ride here, that I just take it slow and don't really put in the effort. That's rubbish. I work as hard and put in as much effort as I have at any stage of my career. I realise that with my price tag comes a responsibility to perform at a consistently exceptional level. I feel that pressure every day. I'm very aware that the expectations are extremely high.'
Monja is lounging on an oversized couch reading a magazine in the living room. It's a glorious winter day in Toulon and sunlight is flooding the room, illuminating the space to good effect. It clearly lacks a woman's touch, something she insists will change in the coming weeks. She arrived from Pretoria the day before we visited, having had to take care of the paperwork that sealed the sale of their luxury home and oversaw the renovations to another equally extravagant home on the outskirts of the city.
'Monja's been really great while I've been here,' Matfield says, staring endearingly at his wife. 'I'd be useless without her. I really missed her and Jaime while they were still back in South Africa, but the boys from the club took good care of me while I was alone.'
Wednesday night poker was one such pastime for Matfield. Toulon's Pacific Island contingent are the organisers-in-chief, with former Sharks flanker Nico Breedt acting as Matfield's wingman. 'I've finished second twice and made about 60 euros off the boys. The first prize is usually about 100 euros although it has gone up to 300 euros when guys have got serious and bought back into the game.
'I also had the South African guys [Breedt, Francois van Schouwenburg, Wessel Roux, Lawrence Sephaka and Chris Rossouw] over to my place for a braai. Man, it was freezing that night, but we made damn sure the wood caught fire so that we could at least just get a taste of some braaivleis. I was really missing home at that stage.'
Matfield still misses home terribly. It's the week leading up to the opening round of the Super 14. His beloved Bulls are playing the Stormers and every day is a battle to try to banish thoughts about what it would have been like to be part of the build-up to that match, the sort of analysis he would have done on the Stormers' line-out, the Bulls' approach …
'I think I made the move to France two years too early,' Matfield reveals. 'The decision to come here was based on the fact that I believed I had two years of international rugby left in me. In my mind, the Lions tour in 2009 was going to be my final series, so I decided that it would be good to finish by experiencing a different rugby culture and be paid handsomely for it in the process. Then, after the World Cup, I felt great. At this stage I want to play Test rugby for another four years, with the World Cup in New Zealand the obvious target. If I want to realise that goal, I need to be playing my rugby in South Africa.
'You'd think that I grew tired of the pressure back home, but I really miss it for some strange reason. To test yourself against the world's best players weekly is a privilege, and something that I miss terribly. Toulon is a great club and I'm still dead set on playing my part in getting us into the Top 14. They've been very good to me, and for that I'll be eternally grateful. But the Bulls have a special place in my heart. I miss what we've built up over the last eight years. The majority of that squad went through hell in the early 2000s in the Super 12. We came through that together and won the competition last year. So there's a strong bond between the guys.'
Matfield's tone and body language when discussing this subject tells the story of a man on the verge of returning to his first love. He has an escape clause in his contract that stipulates he is free to leave Toulon after six months. The question was begging to be asked.
'If I can get stuff sorted out with Toulon and back in South Africa, I'll probably be coming home,' he says. 'Guys coming over here have to be clear in their motivation. If they're coming here for the retirement package and more time with their families, there really isn't a better place than France, Toulon in particular. But if they still have ambitions to achieve something in South Africa, those "what if" questions will always be there. Those questions have haunted me a lot since I've been here.'
But you've achieved everything you could in South Africa, I offer.
'You'd think so, but the challenge is to surpass the standards we've set, whether it be with the Boks or Bulls. I know what it's like to be gunning for the Crusaders, who were the top dogs in the Super 14. Now I want to experience being in their position, where everyone is gunning for you. To win the tournament like that would be a totally different experience. I want to win the Tri-Nations by winning four games, for example, and not sneaking through on bonus points. Do you know, I've never won a Test match in New Zealand? Those are unfulfilled goals.'
Matfield's in the groove now. He's relaxed and is speaking openly about issues that bother him. None has done so more than the saga of his supposed support of Heyneke Meyer for the Bok coaching job. Matfield's voice is laced with irritation when he recounts the events of late November and early December 2007.
'People were saying that I was backing Heyneke, but that's not entirely true. I'd already signed for Toulon at that stage, but I had an escape clause in my contract that said if he became the Bok coach I would be able to play the Super 14 in South Africa.
'Before I signed, he had approached me and asked me to stay if he got the job. Heyneke has done a lot for me, so I agreed. Now he's not the Bok coach but I still feel I want to go back home and play for the Boks and the Bulls.
'I have no issue with Peter de Villiers. Some sections of the media have suggested that my relationship with Peter will be strained because I was seen to have backed his main competitor. That's rubbish. If he, or any of the other guys who were on the short list, had asked me early enough and provided good reasons for me to stay in SA, I would have considered it in the same way I considered Heyneke's request.'
The other issue that eats at Matfield is the prevailing perception that he was the main instigator of the plot to lure Bulls and Bok team-mate Bakkies Botha to Toulon.
'I had nothing to do with Bakkies's dealings with Toulon,' Matfield asserts. 'He called me to ask me what the club was like to play for and how difficult it has been to adjust to the culture, and I gave him my opinions. Not at any stage did I say, "Bakkies, you have to come to Toulon". That would be very irresponsible of me because I'm not even sure if I'm going to be staying here. The people of Toulon really want him to come, but that decision is between him and the Bulls. I have and want nothing to do with that.'
For the next four months Matfield has his sights set on success with Toulon. He's already the club's ten-pin bowling champion and has the purple trophy on his dining room mantelpiece to prove it. Now a slightly higher and more illustrious honour beckons: winning the French Pro Division 2, thereby securing promotion to the Top 14.
To achieve that will take a collective effort from some of the most gifted individuals in the game's history. But history has warned that outrageously gifted individuals seldom ensure success. Spanish football giants Real Madrid experienced this in the latter stages of their Galácticos era in mid-2000 whereas English football's big spenders Chelsea are struggling to keep pace with the league's leaders.
'I don't think a collection of stars make a good team,' says Matfield. 'If you look at the greatest teams in the world, you'll see that they have a good blend of exceptional players and honest grafters. I can only be as good as the guys next to me, so to expect Toulon to wipe the floor with everyone just because we have Gregan, Oliver, Mehrtens and Matfield is unrealistic. Gregan is one man with limited influence on a match, so is Oliver and Mehrtens. Matfield is not God.'
Sorry Vic, but that's not what we heard.

The electronic throttle module (ETM) has had a high failure rate, which can cause engine performance issues and check engine light illumination. Volvo has extended the warranty to 10 years/200,000 miles on the ETM.
Volvo C70 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified Volvo C70 Problem Reports
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light and/or other dash warning lights may illuminate due to a failed ABS Control Module. Replacement of the failed module is generally required to correct this concern.
The mass air flow sensor may fail resulting in poor engine performance and illumination of the Check Engine Light.
Several issues occur with the door locks on the Volvo C70 and most are because of the door lock assembly. What happens is that one door will not lock while the other one does. In other cases you will lock the doors and then one of the doors will immediately unlock.
The problem is that the door lock assembly is defective and will need replacement. Replacement of this assembly on the C70 is very difficult and is not recommended by a novice. Getting the door and window aligned properly so that you don't get air or water leaks is very, very difficult.
Knocking noises going over bumps can be caused by worn sway bar end links. These end links have small ball joints that become loose and rattle. Replacement is the only fix.
A refrigerant leak may develop from the AC evaporator causing the AC to blow warm air. Verifying failure of this component is difficult. A good shop will use leak detection dye to verify a failing evaporator.
The convertible top may have problems with the micro-switches and potentiometers that help control the raising and lowering of the top.
The sun visor can break at the hinge area, causing the visor to fall down. This break can also cause the interior lights to stay on all the time, draining the battery. Disconnecting the visor will stop the lights from draining the battery, but the visor will need to be replaced to address this problem properly.
One or more of the power windows may stop working due to a failed master window switch. Our technicians tell us a failed switch will require replacement.
The upper engine mount may wear prematurely. Symptoms may include a harsh feeling when the transmission is shifting and roughness when the engine is idling. Worn engine mounts should be replaced as necessary.
The evaporative emissions system has problems with the purge valve, tank pressure sensor, and the fuel cap. All of these failed components will cause the check engine light to illuminate. To prevent turning on the check engine light accidentally, make sure the fuel cap is installed correctly after re-fueling
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) Control Unit has a high failure rate. When this fault occurs, the ABS light will illuminate and codes may be stored indicating a problem with the ABS Pump Motor, or Wheel Speed Sensors, but the problem is the ABS Control Module.
Other symptoms may include an illuminated Check Engine and transmission shift light. and the speedometer may stop working as well.
Note: The brake system will operate normally however during a panic stop the Anti Lock Brakes will not work and the wheels may lock-up, causing a lack of vehicle control under these situations.
Front upper strut mounts may wear prematurely, resulting in loud noise from the front of the vehicle when going over bumps.
Door window regulator failures have been reported. These vehicles have a very complex door window mechanism that can be very difficult to adjust properly after installing a new window regulator. This can lead to air leaks, wind noise, and a door that doesn't open or close properly. This is a good time to find an experienced Volvo mechanic!
Several complaints have been reported regarding Volvo C70 transmission shifting issues. Long shift times between gear shifts, hard shifting, hard downshifting and a loss of transmission operation all together to name a few.
If the issue is minor, a transmission software update may fix this issue so if available, the software should be updated before any repairs are made.
There are several technical service bulletins (TSB's) available from Volvo that address these shifting issues and they should be consulted by the repair shop during the automatic transmission diagnostic process.
Regular servicing of the transmission fluid can help with preventing transmission failure, but not in all cases. Follow the suggested fluid replacement interval recommended by Volvo. You will find this in your owners manual, or find it here: http://bit.ly/Volvo_Owners_Manuals

Chinese Shar-Pei
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Non-sporting; utility
Around 40 – 60 pounds (18 – 27 kg).
Approximately 18 – 20 inches.
Chinese Shar-Pei can be black, red, cream, or fawn. Solid color is preferred over mottled patterns.
The Shar-Pei is known for its extremely short and rough coat.
Chinese Shar-Pei is perhaps most well-known for its wrinkled skin and the perpetual frowning expression. The adults eventually "grow into their skins" and the characteristic wrinkles remain only in the head, neck and shoulders. They are alert, extremely loyal, and independent dogs that have deep personalities. While not a breed for novice dog owners, they provide a special kind of companionship that can be very rewarding.
Country of Origin:
Originally from the Guang Dong province of China, the Chinese Shar-Pei is well-known as a guard dog and fighting breed. They have been the guards of the royal family for centuries. At one time they were close to extinction, but they have made a comeback as a popular family and companion dog due to their exceptional loyalty and devotion to their owners.
The name "Shar-Pei" means "sand-skin" in Chinese, referring to their rough coats. They are also known as Chinese fighting dogs.
While the Shar-Pei has a reputation as a fighting breed, they are naturally calm and reserved. Early training and socialization will ensure that they do not become overly aggressive and territorial. They are alert and naturally suspicious of strangers, which make them excellent guard dogs. They are loving and devoted to their owners, while remaining rather independent. They can appear standoffish, but are fiercely loyal.
The Shar-Pei can be a stubborn breed, so comprehensive obedience training is needed. Their independent and dominant nature requires their handlers to be confident, firm, but gentle. Leadership needs to be established early on or they will become the "top dog" of the house. A well-trained Shar-Pei is an easy-going and devoted companion.
Shar-Pei requires considerable amount of exercise. However, with adequate exercise, they are quiet and peaceful indoors. They are very susceptible to heat, so care must be taken in warmer climates. Shade and water must be always available. While they are not overly aggressive if correct training is applied, keeping them on leash in public is still a good idea to prevent potential fights with other dogs.
Chinese Shar-Pei requires a patient, loving owner who can establish dominance without being overtly strict. They can have hereditary eye and skin conditions, which should be consulted with the breeders when considering a puppy. See Concerns in the Shar-Pei Breed
No breeders listed at this time.

The court also rejected an appeal by Jose Padilla, the U.S. citizen who was declared an enemy combatant for allegedly planning a radiological attack on the United States and was ater convicted in federal court of conspiring to kill.
The decisions came just one day before the fourth anniversary of a decision that gave Guantanamo prisoners the right to seek release but left the lower courts to deal with the issue, ScotusBLOG noted.
Without dissent, the court left it to the D.C. Circuit Court to have the final say on 169 foreign nationals still being held at Guantanamo.

Weather Update: Due to the blizzard, this event will be held Sunday, Feb. 10, only. Please watch ASPCA.org/onelove for the latest information.
When Hurricane Sandy hit NYC, the ASPCA's Cruelty Intervention Advocacy (CIA) program was preparing to remove more than 30 cats from a New York City apartment. In the immediate aftermath of the storm, CIA realized that the cats' situation could quickly develop into a full-scale crisis.
The team took swift action, rushing to the apartment to provide immediate relief. With the lives of the animals potentially at risk, the CIA team acted quickly to remove the cats and bring them to safety.
Ever since, these resilient kitties have been recovering at our wonderful partner One Love Animal Hospital in Downtown Brooklyn. Today, they're all in tip-top shape. In fact, the only thing they need now is a loving home to call their own.
Special Adoption Event This Weekend!
Animal lovers of NYC, that's where you come in! This Sunday, February10, at One Love, the ASPCA is hosting a pop-up adoption event for these very special cats, and we can't wait for you to meet them! Each of the adoptable feline cuties is so cuddly, sweet and outgoing that you'd never suspect their lives haven't been all catnip and stuffed mice.
You can change a life just in time for Valentine's Day by giving a kitty a brand-new family to love. And if one isn't enough for you, consider taking home a pair of BFFs! Some of the cats are available in bonded pairs.
Ready to take the plunge and fall in love with a new furry friend this weekend? Check out aspca.org/onelove for more details, including information about how New Yorkers can help us get the word out.
To learn more about how CIA helps hoarded animals and those who are overwhelmed by the number of animals in their care, please visit CIA's page.
We hope to see you this weekend!
I adopted.a kitty in dec. From aspca.she was from a hoarding situation so scared n shy.all they need is some love.patience n a loving home.she has settled in wonderful.she follows me plays great with my other kitten n has stole my heart.i wish I had room for more.
Aw. I just love kittens. They are truly adorable. So fluffy... anyways, is this event being held where?! Because, tomorrow I want to go to it, but I don't know where. I already have three cats in my house, but one is from my cousins and aunt. They might be moving out soon. If they don't, then we can just buy a litter box. So, that means I may have room for ONE MORE!
Me and my boyfriend went to the adoption event on Atlantic avenue this weekend and could not have left happier. We took away with us a beautiful bonded calico pair, Kimiko and Tamura. They like most were a little shy at first but run around and play with their toys like crazy after just a day. They have really made this house more of a home.
Thank you for rescuing them and getting their health up and keeping them healthy. I promise they are in great hands now and will only know love for the rest of their lives.
I have 3 rescued kitties. Found 1 of them on the street on a cold winter night, 2nd was abandoned and the third walked into my school on a rainey summer day. Thanks to the ASPCA they were fixed and are in good health today. They bring so much joy to my home. They have become my children and sleep beside me every night. If you dont have a pet these felines are worth having they will make you very happy with their conditional love.

Non-drug treatments for menstrual cramps include adequate rest and sleep, regular exercise (especially walking), and smoking cessation. Menstrual cramps are not the same as the symptoms experienced due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), although the symptoms of both disorders can sometimes be experienced together. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of emotional, physical, psychological, and mood disturbances that occur after a woman's ovulation; and usually end with the onset of her menstrual flow. For moderate menstrual cramps, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen [Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, etc.] or naproxen [Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn, Naprelan]) are often helpful. The NSAIDs are more effective than aspirin in inhibiting the production and action of the prostaglandins that cause menstrual cramps. What are menstrual cramps? Reader Stories Share Your Story Menstrual cramps are abdominal and pelvic pains experienced by a woman around the time of her menstrual period. Menstrual cramps usually start shortly before the menstrual period, peak within 24 hours after their onset, and subside after a day or two. Menstrual cramps can range from mild to severe. Mild menstrual cramps may be barely noticeable and short-lived, sometimes felt just as a sense of light heaviness in the belly. Severe menstrual cramps can be so painful that they interfere with a woman's regular activities for several days. The discomfort can extend to the lower back or legs. Menstrual cramps are not the same as the symptoms experienced due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), although the symptoms of both disorders can sometimes be experienced together. Many women suffer from both PMS and menstrual cramps. Medical research of menstrual cramps has shown that they are often worse in women who began menstruating early and who have long menstrual periods with heavy menstrual flow. Smoking and a family history of severe menstrual cramps are also associated with painful menstrual cramps.

|Buccaneers Visit Patients and Families at All Children's
Tampa Bay Buccaneer rookies and cheerleaders visited the patients at All Children's Hospital on Dec. 14th.
They were greeted in each room by wide smiles and excited fans as they made their way around the hospital's floors on a day most of the patients and their family members wouldn't soon forget. The players handed out autographed pennants, posters and posed for pictures with their young fans. They also took time to chat with them and spread some holiday wishes.
"It means the a lot to our patients and their families," said Stephanie Hall, Director, Children's Miracle Network. "This has become a tradition here at All Children's Hospital that our families really look forward to. These kids will be talking about this for days. If you were to walk back up on the floors now, you'd see the pennants hanging and the pictures and it's huge for our families. We appreciate what the Bucs do so much."

JRUBY-6441 malloc: *** error for object 0x7f94d1a24650: pointer being freed was not allocated
Help! I'm encountering this problem too using Rails 3.1.1 app experiences this on Mac OS 10.6.8 and JRuby 1.6.5:
$ ruby -v # via "rvm install jruby"
jruby 1.6.5 (ruby-1.8.7-p330) (2011-10-25 9dcd388) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_26) [darwin-x86_64-java]
"rails server" starts up fine, but the first request attempt to it dies with this malloc error.
Is no one else experiencing this? Seems like this would be a common pain point if it's not just me.
Don't use Thin. There are plenty of other viable application servers available.
I'm running a rails 3.1.1 app on jruby with trinidad. Works quite nicely. Just make sure to use the -t option if you need inline debugging. Otherwise the output comes from up to 5 threads and can be a bit confusing.
Can you take a look?
I got a similar error when I forgot the 'jruby -S' prefix before the rails commands. I started over and the server is working now.
FYI, I was getting this error at the first request:
java(69715,0x10fd44000) malloc: *** error for object 0x101725040: pointer being freed was not allocated
Please try it without RVM. If it works without RVM, then it is most likely a bad interaction with RVM's black magic.
@Stina, do you have any other gems with C extensions in your Gemfile? It's possible that this problem extends beyond thin.
@Hiro, my original test was without rvm on a clone of master.
I can verify having this issue as well. Reverting back to 1.6.3 fixes things for me. BTW, I am not trying to run thin or rails 3.1. This is rails 3.0.11. I am using RVM 1.10.0 though.
Oddly enough, I can reproduce this with a piece of code of mine. This issue seems to happen (in my case) when using autoload. Very very strange. If there's any interest, I can provide my code with steps to reproduce. I'm not sure if this is only a Mac/LLVM-GCC issue, or what.
Requiring the file that was being autoloaded, and then calling into my code, prevents the following from happening:
java(67870,0x114f20000) malloc: *** error for object 0x109635880: pointer being freed was not allocated
- set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6
- set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Edit: I spoke too soon. Argh.
@Scott, do you have some code that triggers this by just running it? Such code could be a useful test case. I had to start a server and issue two requests to trigger it which made even just running `git bisect` quite tedious.
I'm also encountering this error with my fork of the puma server: https://github.com/bporterfield/puma
jruby 22.214.171.124 (ruby-1.9.2-p136) (2011-12-27 1bf37c2) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_29) [darwin-x86_64-java]
Interestingly, I only see the error when using bundler and bundling the gem from github. If I use bundler to pull the gem from a local path, the error never occurs! There, I have compiled the java extension by hand.
My first thought is that somehow, compilation of the extension is different? Is bundler + jruby using the C extension instead of the Java one? I'll try to narrow down the issue.
If someone wants to help investigate this, here's the recipe: it worked fine in 1.6.3, and started failing in 1.6.4. There's a cext commit sometime between there that caused it.
If someone's able to bisect this to a specific commit, I will be very grateful. 1.6.3 and 1.6.4 are tagged in github, both along the jruby-1_6 branch. Building JRuby + cext is just "ant cext" or "ant clean cext" to clean as well.
That's what I did to determine d9009b75e above. Unfortunately I have no idea how this code works.
The current catch is that the only way I've managed to get it to segfault is to start a server and make some requests to the running webapp. Sometimes it took two page loads. I'll see if I can build a git repo which demonstrates the problem. Maybe we can extract a more succinct test case from that.
Here's a repository that should demonstrate the issue: https://github.com/matschaffer/jruby_6164
Screencast is exporting now.
Screencast is at http://vimeo.com/36837708 and should be viewable within the hour.
Wow, I totally missed that you narrowed it to a specific commit. Kudos.
We'll look into it from there.
Actually, if you can try 1.6.7, that help. There have been a set of cext fixes recently. I'm trying to come up with a small reproduction we can give to Wayne or Tim...
Mat: I'm trying your repo on jruby-1_6 branch now.
CONFIRMED! Ok...so ignore all my complete obliviousness to bisecting, reproductions, and everything else on this bug. Looks good, Mat...I think if it can be fixed, we have what we need to diagnose it.
Great! And thanks so much for JRuby, it's been an invaluable tool.
I think I fixed this in commit 204f5d669b2604a72957006990ee59e8a5e19ae8
At least, running Mat's test case, no longer crashes. Should cherry-pick that back to 1.6.x once someone else confirms it as fixed.
Just tested on 27b399053666545a which contains 204f5d669b2 and the server stayed running after 60s. I also tested against b97c22a (204f5d669b2^) which crashed after 5s. Looks like you got it. Well done, Wayne!
Cherry-picked to 1.6! Thanks everyone!
