RYAN VREDE argues that Ryan Kankowski is guilty of letting himself down but appalling management and a patent lack of coaching are mitigating factors.
Just two years ago there was a raging debate about who of Pierre Spies or Ryan Kankowski should start at No 8 for the Springboks. Spies had one of his worst-ever Super Rugby campaigns, while Kankowski shone for the Sharks, prompting widespread calls for his inclusion.
However, Peter de Villiers banked on Spies but told the media that we were 'blessed' to have a talent like Kankowski in the wings. 'There is no difference whether Spies or Kankowski plays,' he added, 'they're equally good.'
Seventeen Test matches into his career and we're still waiting for Kankowski to replicate his best Super Rugby form on the Test stage. Certainly he hasn't strengthened his case for a run-on start in the limited opportunities he has received, but the cause of his mediocrity demands closer inspection.
Undoubtedly the Springboks' pragmatic tactics don't aid him and is the reason both he and Spies have struggled to assert themselves consistently at Test level. Nowhere was that more evident than against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The Springboks began promisingly, playing through phases and attacking the channels around the ruck fringe. Kankowski would often be deployed at third or fourth phase, where he had time and space to attack a depleted defensive line. By utilising him in this manner the Springboks were harnessing his primary strength and extracting the greatest value from him.
Then inexplicably they started to kick away possession. Compounding their problems was the poor execution of those kicks. Kankowski, along with the team's other primary strike runners, was rendered a virtual spectator for the remainder of the Test.
Furthermore, De Villiers argues that he has invested in Kankowski, but that investment amounts to 609 minutes of a possible 1 360. That seems reasonable for a second-choice eighthman.
However, the picture becomes clearer when you consider that 122 of those minutes were spent at blindside flank, a position he freely concedes he is not suited to, 86 of those minutes were against lowly Italy and those 80 minutes were in the dead-rubber third Test against the British & Irish Lions in 2009. Tests against Wales and Scotland account for a further 215 minutes.
De Villiers' estimation of the player was further questioned when he selected Joe van Niekerk ahead of him for the Test against Wales in June. Van Niekerk would not be selected again in 2010.
In fact this year Kankowski has suffered most from his coaches' clear lack of vision and unwavering belief in an off-form Spies.
Barring the Scotland Test on Saturday, he's started once, at blindside flank against Australia in Perth, and was woeful. Only twice has he played in two successive matches. When announcing his team to play England, De Villiers called Kankowski the Man of the Match against Scotland, but still omitted him from the match 22 for Twickenham.
It's not just flawed and stifling tactics and a lack of game time that irks. It is also that Kankowski clearly hasn't been schooled in the the nuances between Super Rugby and Test rugby. His running lines and positional play don't differ, which is a poor reflection on the Springboks' coaching staff.
Willem Alberts is De Villiers' new plaything. When Heinrich Brüssow returns, Kankowski's international career will stall. The treatment he has received is abominable. A player of his calibre deserves better.

Fork/Join or Divide and Conquer is a very powerful abstraction to solve hierarchical problems.
The abstraction
When talking about hierarchical problems, think about quick sort, merge sort, file system or general tree navigation and such.
- Fork / Join algorithms essentially split a problem at hands into several smaller sub-problems and recursively apply the same algorithm to each of the sub-problems.
- Once the sub-problem is small enough, it is solved directly.
- The solutions of all sub-problems are combined to solve their parent problem, which in turn helps solve its own parent problem.
The mighty JSR-166y library solves Fork / Join orchestration pretty nicely for us, but leaves a couple of rough edges, which can hurt you, if you don't pay attention enough. You still deal with threads, pools and synchronization barriers.
The GPars abstraction convenience layer
GPars can hide the complexities of dealing with threads, pools, barriers and RecursiveActions from you, yet let you leverage the powerful Fork/Join implementation in jsr166y.
Fork / Join saves your resources
Fork/Join operations can be safely run with small number of threads thanks to internally using the TaskBarrier class to synchronize the threads. While a thread is blocked inside an algorithm waiting for its sub-problems to be calculated, the thread is silently returned to the pool to take on any of the available sub-problems from the task queue and process them. Although the algorithm creates as many tasks as there are sub-directories and tasks wait for the sub-directory tasks to complete, as few as one thread is enough to keep the computation going and eventually calculate a valid result.
If you'd like to know more, check out the Fork/Join section of the User Guide.

Eddie Jones will be the Boks technical director at the World Cup, writes Keo in the Independent Newspapers.
Springbok coach Jake White has pulled off a potential masterstroke – and put Australian noses out of joint in the build-up to the World Cup.
Former Wallabies coach Jones is set to replace Rassie Erasmus as the Springboks' Technical Director in Jake White's most emphatic statement of intent that every avenue will be explored to give South Africa an edge at the World Cup.
SA Rugby Pty Ltd Managing Director Jonathan Stones confirmed to The Independent on Saturday that he had agreed in principle to White's request to involve Jones on a short-term World Cup contract.
The details of the contract would be discussed on Monday and Stones would explain his decision to the Board.
"In principle I support the coach and think it is a fantastic opportunity. I need to make sure the numbers add up and the next step in the process is to ensure they do and motivate my decision to the board," said Stones.
The arrangement would see Jones in the next three months alternate between Paris (with the Boks) and London where he is to take up a four-year contract as Saracens Director of Coaching.
Australian CEO John O'Neill earlier in the week attacked Jones's decision to link up with the Boks on a one-week consultancy.
You don't need a crystal ball to know what his reaction will be to a three-month involvement.
O'Neill also questioned Jones's ethics because of his recent involvement with Australian rugby.
Jones responded by calling O'Neill a hypocrite and reminded O'Neill he had left rugby for soccer in the year of the soccer World Cup, vowed never to return to Australian rugby and on the eve of the rugby World Cup had agreed to again head up Australian rugby.
Jones, who coached the Wallabies between 2001 and 2005, said he was a professional coach and rejected accusations he is betraying Australian rugby.
White told The Independent on Saturday he rated Jones as the world rugby's best technical analyst and he spoke glowingly of Jones's contribution to the Boks in the last week. He also challenged O'Neill's comments regarding Jones's integrity.
"Eddie's one of the most passionate guys I've met when it comes to rugby. He is also one of the most principled.
"Sure he can give us insight into his observations on any country and player and no one has a more intimate knowledge on Gregan and Larkham's technical game than Eddie, but that's not why I want him involved.
"I want Eddie here and in Paris because of the perspective he gives us.
"This is about what he can do for the Boks and not what he can do in a possible World Cup Test against Australia," said White, who was forced to reconsider his options after Erasmus was appointed Stormers coach last week.
"I had to think fast and this opportunity presented itself. Eddie showed an interest to be involved for the World Cup and I share that interest," said White.
Jones, should there be no unexpected curveball, will become the fifth Australian to work with the Boks in the last five years.
Former Bok coach Harry Viljoen appointed Tim Lane as his backline coach in 2001, while Less Kiss and Frank Ponissi (defensive coaches) and Mike Byrne (kicking and skills coach) also contributed to the Viljoen era. Ponissi and Lane were also a part of Rudolf Straeuli's management team at some stage between 2002 and 2003.
Byrne has been with the All Blacks for the last four years.
"Having outside influence in our rugby is nothing new," said White. "It can only be good for our campaign."
Stones agreed, saying professionalism demanded investing in the best options available.
South Africa's two premier Super rugby teams, the Bulls and Sharks, both benefited from Australian input this year, with Australian backs coach Todd Louden adding an attacking edge to the Bulls and New Zealander John Plumtree influential in the Sharks resurgence.
White, in encouraging Jones to align himself with the Boks, has shown the kind of innovation usually associated with Australian sports coaches.
If Australian coach John Connolly had lured Nick Mallett, as an example, to consult with the Australians it would have been sold to the media as a stroke of genius. For once Australia is on the receiving end and to add insult to O'Neill it is 'Sideshow Bob' who has stolen a yard on the Wallabies.
Jones's technical knowledge of Australian rugby is unrivalled and he has intimate knowledge of the All Blacks, having plotted their demise at the 2003 World Cup.

Possible Causes of Engine Hesitation or Stumble:
Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this)
Dirty air filter (change filter)
Dirty / clogged fuel filter (change filter)
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)
Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:
Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires

[About us]
|You are in: NAS> Doing research> Guides> Plans in the NAS
Saturday 30 May 2015
The vast majority of the plans are topographical in nature, and the NRS has the largest collection of original maps and plans of Scotland. Most date from 1750 or later, as cartography in Scotland only began to flourish during the 18th century under the influence of agricultural improvement, when landowners employed surveyors to map their estates.
The National Records of Scotland welcomes gifts of plans or other documents recording the history of Scotland, the land and its peoples. If you have records you are considering depositing with the NRS, please contact us.
Register House Plans series (RHP)
Access to the plans collectionThe plans series may be searched on the NRS Online Catalogue, which has replaced the traditional paper catalogues and card indexes. Catalogue descriptions include location, surveyor, engineer or architect, as well as the subject, date and origin of the plan. For topographical and architectural plans, the 'Place Authority' search option allows searches to be restricted to the civil parish whose boundaries will often differ from those of the city, town or settlement of the same name. Scottish plans are located by civil parish and county, according to the boundaries in existence immediately before the reorganisation of local government in 1975. This means that cities and towns may fall within the boundaries of a number of civil parishes, all of which will require to be searched independently. Other plans of the British Isles are similarly located but by county and country rather than by civil parish and county. Foreign plans are initially located by country and continent.
Detailed descriptions of the first 5,000 entries have been published in the 'Descriptive List of Plans in the Scottish Record Office' (4 volumes) by Ian H Adams and Loretta R Timperley, which is on sale in General Register House.
Most plans in the NRS collections are part of the RHP series, with two important exceptions.

Book Cover Update / the last 6 months *now w/cover sketches*
Been posting my images all over, so might as well update this ancient thread. New images towards bottom.
First is part 1 & 2 of the trilogy, The Mysterious Mr.Spines, by Jason Lethcoe.
The first cover is called WINGS, and the second cover is called, FLIGHT - to be published by Penguin Books USA, Grossett & Dunlap. Both images started off in oils on board, and then I added, tweaked and embellished digitally. I love working this way. It allows me to move fast, and I still maintain a lot of that traditional look I love from oils. I'll try to work this way any chance time permits.
Next cover is for Night Shade Books, called Fast Ships, Black Sails. It's a collection of pirate stories with a fantasy/sci-fi edge. The other two images are just some fun things I did for myself.
Although most of this work is already heading to the printers (or been printed) , feel free to drop me a crit or comment. I genuinely always appreciate it.
Also I'll be at the new artists' convention, ILLUXCON, Nov. 6-9 in Altoona,Pennsylvania. I'll be there selling prints and a few originals. Be sure to check out the guest list on the website- tons of killer artists are going to be there. I believe Justin Sweet will be doing demos too.
edit: added sketches for Mr.Spines:FLIGHT book and Fast Ships, Black Sails
I should start by apologizing for not responding to all the replies last time I posted. I'm a jerk. Sometimes a man just gets caught up in his work - or something.
Well, today I am having a hard time of focusing on my deadlines, so I figured I would update this with some old work that has just been released. I must admit to being reluctant to show my Shadowmoor and WoW cards after Ralph Horsley and rustybaby (Dave Kendall) have posted theirs, but perhaps it will motivate me to kick it up next time. All crits are always welcome .
Lastly- thanks to the fellow CA.ers who paid me a visit at the Wizards of the Coast booth during NY Comic Con. It was my first time doing something like that and the familiar names provided me with much nerve-calming comfort.
Been over a year since I last posted art here I believe.
You all know how it is.......
For Night Shade Books- "The Mall of Cthulhu"
The challenge here was to mix the comedic nature of the book with
the more serious horror. I think fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Evil Dead and obviously Lovecraft will get a kick out of this book.
The other images are from a children's book being published by McGraw Hill/ Silver Editions. Not a full children's book. They just wanted a cover and some spots, really. A little difference in style from my usual work- brighter, more saturated colors - a little more cartoonish. Also needed to leave more room on top for type just in case you were wondering why there was so much negative space.
I'll try and post more in the future. Comments and crits always appreciated.
Edit: Here are the sketches sent in for the Cthulhu cover, and some details.
In the Arthur & the Sword cover, I loved the idea that surrounding the sword there would be all these decorative carvings in the tree, but it got away from the story for the publisher. I did hint at though if you look closely...perhaps I'll work that idea into another piece one day.

November 14th, 2007 #6
Nice to see some new stuff from you, Scott! I really like the first piece - the texture on that cthulu is awesome.

the girl in the bottom left of the cthulhu piece looks like my sister! you sod!
i kid (perhaps...) i love the feel to all of these, at the same time serious and illustrative, yet somehow cute and very appealing
perhaps once i nap i can think of something more constructive to say dear sir.
see ya satuhday?
November 14th, 2007 #11
You rule Scotty! Love the first one, that octopus is badass
November 14th, 2007 #12
Some of your best colour work here mate, nice one. I love the green/blue hue shift on the second one; it could have looked awkward and abrupt, but you've pulled it off with skill. The first one's my favourite though.
No crits spring to mind.
November 14th, 2007 #13
These are wicked Scott! Always good to see yer stuff!
November 14th, 2007 #14
Very groovy, Scott.
Great things happening in all three, but I particularly enjoy the children's book illos. Your lush rendering mixes really well with the stylised forms of the character.
Cover and some spots, you wrote. Got some more of those to show us, perhaps?
November 14th, 2007 #15
Those children's illustrations are really great. I love the colors and rendering.
November 14th, 2007 #16
Great to see the quality work, and really good to see you back.
November 14th, 2007 #17
The cthulhululylhu piece is completely awesome, and your colors overall throughout all three of these pieces has me taking some notes. Maybe not notes, actually, but they kinda are even if I'm just drawing your name over and over with a heart around it.
November 14th, 2007 #18

Hello, dear ! You kept your promise, wonderful. I'm glad you are posting again! A lot of changes in how you express your ideas now, but I recognize your hand in each of this pictures. They all look very personal. You know, like you individually had chosen every nose, and cheek and eye, from a big mental library of psychological personalities and then stylized them.
I can tell each character went through a strict judgment of your own taste. From the way how you draw your character I can see your own independent, unbendable personality... polite but going your own individual way... Right, I found the word... your images carry your love to individualism, you don't like to follow...Your characters don't remind me any other artist.
And there is always something very domestic, very intimate in your images. Your characters are not showy, but they have soul and endurance.
I would like to write some critique to you, it will be in dissonance with the rest of the comments of the very respected by me and accomplished artists, unfortunately, but I write to you because I love your art and want you to know what I see as the most attractive and strong features of it, which only you have, unique, and what I think interferes with your individuality shining in a full power.
As I said your art is very intimate. Your strongest side is delicacy, subtlety... even when your color are mature and bold, you remain to be very strict in color tones. Another strong side is generosity, rich imagination, truthfulness of the character, love to details, and the fact that you see your character in all his/ her everyday's life.
I see it as a fabric weaved by your imagination and memories from your childhood association, books you read, stories you imagined... it feels integrate and organic... it demands an accurate and thoughtful approach.
Because of that I just can't connect these individually created personalities with the overused market approved colors and tricks. I'm closed minded probably, but I can't frame the old-fashioned precious stone with history and ghost hiding in the depth of it into a modern, conveyor made surroundings.
I wish those unique characters lived in their own individually created world. If I could I would say let other artists place their creatures in neon and artificial colors... your creatures need to live in natural, subtle world, filled with smells of old moss and forest flowers, with old-fashioned cuckoo at day and gruesome owl at night.
Another thing... your art's loveliness is in its hidden surprises, which one needs to look closer and enjoy them... Why for example you posted the image of little boy in the wonderful forest in such a small size that I can't even see what kind of flowers bloomed after the magic happened.
I'm pretty confident that you felt with all your heart the harmony of all negative space between the trees, all of graceful shapes, you put a lot of thoughts and beauty into them... and if life is fair... we on another, receiving end should feel it and submerge in pleasure... Instead you reduce image to the minimum and put emphasize on the boring standard saturated light from the glowing sword... I want to enjoy the beauty and richness of melting snow on the ground... you drag me to see the whitish light...
I know you had a client... but it is kind of sad.
Hope you will not be too angry at me, I hope I will not spoil anything to you...very nice people here in this thread love everything I criticize. My words don't mean much.
I want to say that the best image of the year from you is the painting of the woman in the lovely green domestic dress comforting little creature, "Crawler cradle"... it is impeccably beautiful and people who didn't see it.. well... they skipped a very beautiful thing. I feel sorry for them. I adore it. It is soft and powerful in its gentle beauty. To sing a melody gently is harder. You did it masterfully. It doesn't look like anyone's influence or legacy, it is your own and unique creation from your heart and soul..
Hope you and yours are doing great. I love how they present in all your creations.

Merveilleux !
Last one is really great, love your use of texture. Second one is maybe my favorite for the comp' and mood. What medium are you using for these ? Digital ? Traditional ? A mix of both ?
Keep posting the magic.

Drink a good home made coffee and slay monsters, it's not a bad idea.
Congratulation for making me happy.

Smashing stuff Scott. Like the colour palettes a lot. The composition on the third one is my fav. I know it's probably for text, but the use of 'negative' space can really balance things up.

Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine
Our Mission: Create solutions for a healthier community by preparing tomorrow's patient-centered physicians and scientists and advancing the continuum of medical knowledge, discovery, and osteopathic medicine to provide comprehensive health care.
Different by design...TCOM.
Founded in 1970, the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) has emerged as one of the nation's leading osteopathic medical schools. During this time, it has received both state and national recognition for its efforts to meet the demands of underserved populations and excellence in education. These honors include:
U.S. News & World Report, 2013 edition
Top 15 Specialty Ranking in Geriatrics
U.S. News & World Report, 2013 edition
Top 20 Specialty Ranking in Family Medicine
U.S. News & World Report, 2013 edition
Top 50 Medical Schools for Primary Care Medicine
U.S. News & World Report, 2002 through present
A Record of Service: Whether they are the only doctor serving a rural community or a specialist at a major medical center, TCOM graduates distinguish themselves as leaders, teachers and scholars. With over 2,800 alumni to date, approximately 65% practice primary care medicine (family practice, general internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology), helping reduce the shortage of physicians in Texas communities. In addition to primary care, alumni also practice in over 50 specialties such as aerospace medicine and vascular medicine. Recent alumni have excelled in some of the nation's most demanding residency training programs by earning the position of chief resident.
In 1975, TCOM became a state-supported medical school under the jurisdiction of the North Texas Board of Regents. In response to TCOM's remarkable growth and its achievements in health care and science, the Texas Legislature redesignated the medical school as a health science center in 1993. TCOM became the cornerstone component, retaining its osteopathic identity and focus.

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat hosted a discussion organized by NIF on racism in the city. NIF's campaign against racism in soccer brought dozens of Arab and Jewish youth players from eight teams in Jerusalem to sit together in the municipality council chamber and hear a discussion on racism in soccer led by the city's biggest stars. Media coverage of the event focused on the courageous statement by Betar Jerusalem captain Aviram Bruchian, "Personally I would be happy to have an Arab player on Betar."
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat (second right) hosts NIF's anti-racism event. Betar captain Aviram Bruchian (left) wants an Arab player on the team.
This is an important breakthrough from the team, which has never signed an Arab player, and whose fans are known to be by far the most racist in Israel by every NIF Index since our campaign began in 2003.
In addition to the Betar captain and other star players, the panel discussion included Hapoel Jerusalem captain Shai Aharon and Hapoel Katamon's Arab star Salam Saleme. Mayor Barkat said that above and beyond the moral dimension, "racism and violence also deter potential investors from sport."

We recently had a chance to check out some of the fine hiking trails in the King's Point area of Central Newfoundland. King's Point is located on highway 391 (take the Springdale turnoff from the Trans Canada Highway). These trails have a lot of variety and an interested hiker could easily spend a couple of days walking the 4 trails that we explored. Let's start with the longest trail-the Alexander Murray Trail which is located virtually in King's Point. This trail is 8 km long and climbs to a summit of about 1000 feet. Overall there are 2200 stairs so you will get a good workout!

On our most recent trip to this part of Central Newfoundland we stayed at the luxurious Riverwood Inn (http://www.riverwoodinn.ca/) which received the "Accommodator of the Year" award for 2011 from Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador. It has a spectacular setting overlooking the Indian River and has walking trails that start right from its front door. When we asked Tracey Penney, the Inn's manager about what to see in the local area she recommended checking out "glassy beach", the local Springdale hiking trails and King's Point pottery in King's Point.

Central Newfoundland is a huge area of scenic coastlines and large inland rivers. One place we have spent very little time is the Eastport Peninsula adjacent to Terra Nova National Park (TNNP). Our only other previous visit was restricted to a night of camping at Malady Head in TNNP many years ago so we decided that another visit was in order. So in early August, 2012 we arrived the Prints of Whales Bed and Breakfast (www.theprintsofwhalesinn.com) in Sandringham around 5:00 pm.
8 Aug 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Nature
The Salmonid Interpretation Centre is located just outside Grand Fall-Windsor on the Exploits River. The Exploits River is 246 km long making it the longest river on the island and it has a large salmon run. There is a fish ladder at the Salmonid Interpretation Centre which was built to help salmon bypass the falls on the Exploits River. Here they have an interpretation centre which features underwater viewing windows so that you can see the salmon swim past. Outside of the centre you can walk over grates that cover the fish ladder and you can watch salmon leap up over various obstacles.

"I love my office" grinned Ryan Young above the roar of the motor as we skipped over the small waves of Trout River Pond. "This southern part of Gros Morne National Park is undiscovered by many people and it is too bad since it is a spectacular area."
We were doing a new Ocean Quest boat tour (http://www.oceanquestadventures.com/services/tourist/gros-morne-national-park) that started on Trout River Pond, and we had to agree - Trout River Pond is amazing since it is surrounded by steep cliffs 550-600 meters high and it is 15 km long.

On a still evening in Central Newfoundland, upon the beaches of Little Bay, these tiny fish paid a visit to the shores. Patience, speed and laughter; all key components in the act of "catchin' capelin". Watch and see the excitement and joy that these tiny creatures can bring to young and old alike.

We think Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's new show "Newfoundland Vinyl" is a must see for those people who are interested in Newfoundland music from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. The backstory for the show is that Gros Morne Theatre Festival regulars "Ed and Ed" are throwing a musical fundraiser – for themselves! The music has a definite country flavour and includes hits made popular by A. Frank Willis, Roy Payne, Joan Morrissey, Harry Hibbs and Tom Cahill.
16 Jul 2012 by Keith and Heather Nicol in Boat Tours , Festivals & Events , Whale Watching , Nature , Entertainment and Gros Morne National Park
We are big fans of traditional Newfoundland music whether it be "I'se the Bye" or a song from the Northern Peninsula that we might never have previously heard. Neddy Norris Night is Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's popular musical night and it takes on a different flavour depending on who is the musical director that year.

The Alexander Murray Hiking Trail in King's Point is 9 kilometers long and features both ground terrain and board walk. There are 2,200 stairs going up to, and down from, the summit, which are a great help when traversing the inclines.

The names Cathy Jones, Mary Walsh, Greg Malone and many of the original Codco crew are now synonymous with well known Newfoundland comedy. In 1973 they were just getting started in Toronto when they were distressed by the stereotypes that Ontarians felt applied to all Newfoundlanders. So they fought back with the play "Cod on a Stick" which pokes fun at Torontonians and Newfoundlanders alike.

Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

From May 19 to 21, two hikers from Paris, France braved chilly nightime temperatures and colder patches of snow and ice to make a rare spring trek of the Blow-Me-Down Mountain Trail. Fabien Mignot and Loris Pennacchioli took a break from their studies in Montreal to visit Western Newfoundland - formerly a part of the French Shore of Newfoundland - and hike sections of the IATNL.

The Humber Valley Hikers has started its 2012 hiking season with a fine hike to Cedar Cove near Little Port in the Bay of Islands. Judie Gushue is an avid hiker and coordinator of the Humber Valley Hikers. She lives in Corner Brook and we chatted to her while walking the 1.8 km (1 way trail) to Cedar Cove on Sunday, May 13. "I am pleased that we had 16 hikers out for our first hike of the season" said Judie.

What a great afternoon ! The sun was out, the sky was blue and we were going zip lining at Marble Mountain. We met our guides Reg Flynn and Daniel Kean at the Marble Zip Tours (MZT) office (conveniently located at the base of Marble) for the 2 pm tour. We had enjoyed zip lining with MZT previously but had not experienced their newest zip line which brings you back to the base of Marble Mountain via their longest and fastest zip line yet!

Last year was a pretty amazing ski year in the northeastern United States - abundant and high quality snow continued well into March for some wonderful spring skiing (which I missed out on since I was in Chile). However winter 2011-2012 in the northeast has so far failed to produce more than a sprinkling of snow, which is why I headed north to Newfoundland with my friends Bruce and Nate in search of natural snow in excess of 3 inches.

Last winter we had a chance to head to Happy Valley- Goose Bay, Labrador and were most impressed with the cross country skiing trails and lodge at the Birch Brook Nordic ski club. As well as enjoying the skiing we were invited to a potluck supper at the lodge which was a great way to meet many of the club members.

These structures are welded together and the spaces in-between are filled with glass.
Built like a floating yet solid canopy above the terrace, these structures are welded together, and galss fills the spaces in between. The ceiling and its supporting steel columns are painted white, creating a feeling of space beneath the outdoor roof. Situated in a picturesque landscape the designers have left the terrace open, ensuring guests don't miss any of the surrounding views.
From above the circular intersecting forms looks sculptural and beautiful, maintaining the original style of the building without drawing attention away from its history. From below the roof is modern and simple, a perfectly practical construction for a historic hotel.

New album: Random Access Memories
Artist: Daft Punk
Label: Columbia
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
The French twosome Daft Punk (Thomas Bangalte and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo) was last heard on the soundtrack for the 2010 Tron reboot. "Random Access Memories" is the duo's first studio album since "Human After All" in 2005.
Bands that create dance music usually have the life span of whichever club movement they've either invented or latched on to. Daft Punk — now entering its second decade as a musical entity — has become like elder statesmen in a genre that usually detests anything older than the morning papers.
"Random Access Memories" pulls off the neat trick of sounding like a Daft Punk record without having to rip off anything that came before it. There are a healthy number of guest stars on board (Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder), but instead of using their guests as crutches Daft Punk seamlessly integrates its collaborators into the proceedings.
Depending on your mental age, "Giorgio by Moroder" is either the worst pun ever or an homage to the 1980s Mirodor's pioneering work in disco music. Truth is, it's actually both.
Paul Williams (yes, the guy who wrote "Rainbow Connection") turns in an earnest performance on "Touch" that shouldn't work but does. The album's only misstep comes in the form of "Doin' It Right," a processed-vocal overload featuring Panda Bear from Animal Collective.
No matter how "Random Access Memory" is received, Daft Punk will probably go into hibernation again while the music industry goes through a few more upheavals. If it does take these guys another eight years to put new work out, at least their fans have this great piece of work to gnaw on 'til they return.
Classic album: Morrison Hotel
Artist: The Doors
Label: Elektra
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Between 1967 and 1971, The Doors released six studio albums, with 1970s "Morrison Hotel" being the fifth.
The band's previous effort "The Soft Parade" was viewed as a slight letdown, even though it contained the No. 1 single "Touch Me." That single — like much of the album — was awash in lavish string sections that took up much of the space usually occupied by the sinewy keyboard work of Ray Manzarek.
"Morrison Hotel" was the perfect way for The Doors to right the ship — a 12-song collection of stripped down, sometimes bluesy rock songs that teetered between loutish and sublime.
Being one of rock and roll's most celebrated drunks, it made sense that singer Jim Morrison's lyrics for the stomping "Roadhouse Blues" was an homage to the skid row aesthetic. Ever the pickled poet, Morrison sang "I woke up this morning and got myself a beer/the future's uncertain and the end is always near" like a guy who knew his liver was about to ask for a divorce.
The raucousness continues with "Land Ho!," "Maggie McGill" and the surging "You Make Me Real." Mixed in among these tougher songs are a few orphaned tracks from previous album sessions. "Indian Summer" was tracked for the first Doors lp but makes its first appearance here with a newly recorded lead vocal.
Psychedelic masterpiece "Waiting for the Sun" was for some reason left off the album of the same name some two years earlier. Both of these tracks sprinkle in a bit of the dreamy mysticism of The Doors' early work that isn't present in the "Morrison Hotel" rock songs.
The most unique track on the album is "Peace Frog," featuring guitarist Robby Krieger doing his best to emulate the funk of James Brown. The lyrics ("blood on the street — it's up to my knee, blood on the street — it's up to my thigh") serve as a concise time capsule as to what was in the air in America in 1970.
Manzarek's funkified Farfisa and Krieger's otherworldly guitar solo sound as fresh today as they did when they were first committed to tape.
"Morrison Hotel" didn't spawn many Top 40 radio hits, but as an album it restored The Doors' reputation as an important band. Forty-three years later, it stands as their most timeless work as a band.

My husband loves this and so do I. This fragrance is one of the first things I noticed about him. When he told me it was Bora Bora I told him I would never let him run out. Its a sexy, musty, woodsy, fresh, yummy man scent. It lasts even after he showers! Its not overpowering, which is good because I get migraines from strong scents. Its a very alluring scent for a man. Any woman wanting to try a new scent on her boyfriend or husband should definitely grab this one. You will love it!

This fragrance is good to go for any occasion. Its not overpowering, when I have it on I can't detect it on myself, but everyone around me can. I have received more compliments from both men and women wanting to know the name of the fragrance. It's an oldie but a goodie!
Written by Frodough on June 02, 2014Read Review details ►
I Love It. I get only response from the ladies and sometimes even from men. It's definitely a turn on for the ladies. Every female that I pass by or they pass by me, they'll either say mmmm you smell nice. What's that you have on. You smell good. I then turn to them and say thank you but I can't tell you the name. Because if I do you won't be thinking apart your partner. You'll be thinking of me. I'll either get a smile or a you got me. I know this isn't 150 words but Ms. Claiborne your fragrance is one of my favorite Cologne. Ok! It's my best one!!!

Bora Bora by Liz Claiborne is my son's favorite cologne. It gets his girlfriend's seal of approval as well! He is an outdoor guy. It is not overwhelming but clean. Couldn't find it in the stores. One stop shopping on FragranceNet was fantastic. Less then 6 days regular shipping the week before Christmas!

''Top Gun'' came out in 1986 - almost 27 years ago - but the dogfights, windmill high fives, homoerotic volleyball and squinting fighter-pilot stare-downs are still so entertaining today.In honor of ''Top Gun's'' 3D release Friday, here's a look back at the navy flyer bromance that helped launch the career of Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise played the cocky, daredevil pilot ''Maverick,'' a genius at F-14s and volleyball spikes, despite being only 5' 7''. The role propelled Cruise to the top of the actors' list.
After ''Top Gun'' came out, Tom Cruise quickly became a mega movie star, doing ''Rain Man,'' ''A Few Good Men'' and ''Mission Impossible.'' Then he got weird and started jumping on couches, around 2005.
Tom Cruise in 2012, filming in New York City for the upcoming movie ''Oblivion.''
The casting of Kelly McGillis as Tom Cruise's love interest was all kinds of wrong. (She was too smart for him). But did anyone care? Not when Berlin's song ''Take My Breath Away'' came on.
Kelly McGillis in 1985.
Kelly McGillis in 2013 at the Sundance Film Festival, for her movie ''We Are What We Are.''
''Top Gun's'' dogfights will look great in 3D IMAX, but what about all those powerful death stares between ''Mav'' (right) and arch-rival ''Iceman'' (left), played by Val Kilmer?
Here's Val Kilmer at the ''Top Gun'' premiere on May 12, 1986. He went on to play Jim Morrison in ''The Doors'' in 1991 and Doc Holliday in 1993's ''Tombstone.''
Val Kilmer in 2012, during filming in Austin of Terrence Malick's new movie.
Val Kilmer also did a one-man show called ''Citizen Twain'' in Hollywood in March of 2012. He's pictured at the opening night.
''Top Gun'' starred a then-mostly unknown Meg Ryan, who played Goose's cute wife Carole and had the line, ''Take me to bed or lose me forever!'' Meg Ryan is pictured in 1986, the year the movie came out.
''Top Gun'' didn't have a lot of Meg Ryan in it, but it captured the beginning of her adorable silliness, which became a hit in her later romantic comedies. Ryan is pictured in 1988.
Meg Ryan, 2012.
The famous ''Top Gun'' windmill high five has become an iconic gesture, most recently appearing in the last season of ''30 Rock.'' (The shirtless volleyball scene - set to Kenny Loggins' ''Playing with the Boys'' - has also become great fodder for parody).
More thumbs-up from dudes, this time from fellow pilot "Goose" (Anthony Edwards, left) and "Mav" (Tom Cruise, right). These two are tight, but things end badly.
Anthony Edwards then traded the pilot outfit for scrubs in ''ER,'' as Dr. Mark Greene.
Anthony Edwards in 2013, speaking about his upcoming TV series, ''Zero Hour.''
Not so much dangerous as creepy. It's Kenny Loggins in the video for ''Danger Zone,'' Top Gun's theme song. Just try to listen to this anthem and see if you don't burst out saying, ''I feel the need ... the need for speed!''
Tom Skerritt was ''Viper,'' Tom Cruise's chief instructor who taught him a valuable lesson about teamwork. Skerritt is pictured in the movie ''Fighting Back,'' which came out a few years before ''Top Gun.''
Tom Skerritt, 2012.
Ready to see this gaze again and again in 3D and on IMAX? Of course you are. ''Top Gun's'' theatrical re-release comes shortly before the 3D Blu-ray debut later this month.
''Top Gun'' was the highest-grossing film of 1986, earning more than $176 million that year. Director Tony Scott re-worked the movie for this year's 3D release, before his suicide last August.
The odd couple of ''Top Gun'': Pete ''Maverick'' Mitchell (Tom Cruise) and astrophysicist girlfriend Charlotte ''Charlie'' Blackwood (KellyMcGillis). The only thing missing from this photo is Mav's motorcycle.

Chin-ups can be performed with a kip, where the legs and back impart momentum to aid the exercise, or from a dead hang, where the body is kept still. Performing the chin-up correctly can be tricky because of the natural tendency to do most of the work with the biceps rather than the lats. Initiating the pull with the shoulder blades helps avoid this problem. The exercise is most effective when the body is lowered down to a full extension.
Chin-ups are often incorrectly referred to as pull-ups. The term pull-up is traditionally used when the exercise is performed with a pronated grip.
Beginners who are not strong enough to perform a chin-up may make use of an assisted chin-up machine, where one stands on a bar with a counterweight to reduce the weight that one pulls up. These machines frequently also include a dip bar, allowing for assisted dipping. This keeps the exercise a closed-chain movement.
Another machine, which is open-chain (the person remains stationary, the resistance moves) which mimics the movement and is also helpful to training is the lat pulldown. Unlike the counterweight machine, the lat pulldown can provide as much or more resistance as a normal chin-up or pull-up through use of a counterweight stack. The lifter locks a pad into place above their thighs (near to the hip) to prevent them from rising off the ground when the resistance provided by the counter-weight (lifted through a pulley mechanism) goes beyond their body's.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee, today released a new report outlining the economic consequences of anti-LGBT discrimination in the workplace. The report shows that more than one in five LGBT employees have experienced workplace discrimination, and that turnover due to various kinds of workplace discrimination costs employers $64 billion every year. Klobuchar called for swift passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would make it illegal for employers to base hiring and firing decisions on a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
"Discriminating against LGBT workers is not only morally wrong, it's also bad for business and hurts our economy," Klobuchar said. "Our country was built on equal rights and the idea that every person deserves the same fair shot at a good job, and passing ENDA would ensure that every LBGT American has an equal opportunity to support themselves and their families."
Klobuchar's report notes that people who are being discriminated against frequently get paid less money and are hired less often. In organizations where anti-LGBT discrimination exists, wage gaps can occur between some gay employees and their heterosexual counterparts.
Discrimination can also eat into a business's bottom line, as hostile work environments due to discrimination impact office morale and productivity, while leading to increased employee turnover. The average cost of replacing a worker in the United States is $4,000.
Klobuchar's report also notes that many companies, including the majority of the top 50 Fortune 500 companies, have found that pro-diversity policies increase profitability and have enacted pro-diversity policies.
A former prosecutor, Klobuchar has been a champion for equal protection under the law. She cosponsored legislation repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and fought to pass the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, legislation expanding federal hate crimes to include those motivated by sexual orientation. In December of 2010, Klobuchar was part of a small group of senators that refused to go home for Christmas until the Senate voted on a bill repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell.

National team competitions
21-16, 23-15, 13-12, 17-19
Tartu Rock recorded a first success of the season at the third time of asking by easing past JDA Dijon 74-62 to leave the French club winless at the bottom of EuroChallenge Group D.
After opening the campaign with two losses, there was not only a palpable sense of relief at finally emerging with a victory, but also satisfaction in a strong performance from tip to buzzer.
Once Kristo Saage dropped a three-ball to put the Estonian team 19-10 ahead after seven minutes had elapsed, they took control and never looked back.
Dijon narrowed the gap to make it a one-shot game at 23-21, it was to be as close as they would get with a 9-0 run by the home team midway through the third period killing off their hopes.
That put Tartu Rock 57-40 ahead, and despite the visitors trying to launch a rescue mission at the start of the last quarter, the home side stayed composed.
Another perimeter score by Saage re-enforced their superiority and effectively wrapped up the win at 71-51 despite five minutes still remaining on the game clock.
The real star for Tartu Rock was Ivan Nelyubov who not only claimed 15 points from five of six floor shooting, but also coralled eight rebounds.
Zacherie Moss excelled in defeat with an economical 16 points for JDA Dijon.
JDA Dijon player Zacherie Moss "We didn't play well tonight. As long as I have played with coach Jean-Loius, I have never seen a team like this. We played bad defense and they were driving past us too easily. They wanted the win more than we did and if you shoot so badly on the road, then you can't win the game."
JDA Dijon head coach Jean-Louis Borg"We didn't play the way we usually play and this is not how we played the last game on Saturday in the French Championship. Tonight I did not see my team - no defense and energy. Our defense was not ready tonight and our shooting percentage was not good."
Tartu Rock head coach Gert Kullamäe"It was a really good victory for us. We know that Western European teams have a lot of Americans and they are very active especially at rebounding. But today we managed to win the rebounding and this is why it makes me really happy. The most important thing is that we won the game, especially in a situation where we have two defeats and we really want to go to the next round."

Gibson and Humphrey Help Men's Basketball Secure First Win of the Season in 87-83 Defeat of Lees-McRae
November 20, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) and Tayron Gibson (Dumfries, VA) would each score a game-high 23 points as Pfeiffer University knocked off Lees-McRae College 87-83 in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Tuesday night. Both teams were whistled for 65 fouls combined, 47 of which came in a 65 minute first half. The win marks the first of the year for the Falcons as they improve to 1-4 overall, 1-1 in league play, while sending the Bobcats to 0-5, 0-2.
Pfeiffer rolled out to a 10-2 lead just 90 seconds in as Gibson scored the first seven of the night followed by Humphreys first triple of the evening. Daniel Sepokas (Illawong, AUSTRALIA) and DJ Brown (Anderson, SC) would cut the lead down to one until a Sepokas layup with 13:18 to play in the half tied the contest at 16-16. From the tie score, the Falcons bolted out on a 16-2 run thanks to six more from Humphrey and six from Carrington Kirkpatrick (Charlotte, NC) to lead 32-17 with 9:39 remaining in the half.
After Pfeiffer took a 22-point, 41-19 lead on a Gibson free throw, the Bobcats would rally back in a four-minute span to slice the deficit down to nine with 3:06 to play. A James Saint Marc (Tampa, FL) dunk started the 14-1 run using a pair of big threes from Brown. Humphrey would then proceed to score eight-in-a-row getting the Falcons back up 18 until Lees-McRae closed out the half on four-straight points from Jeremiah Henry (Semmes, AL) trailing 54-40 at the break.
Lees-McRae would make things interesting over the final 15:10 of the second half as a Saint Marc layup got the visitors to within three at 60-57. After dodging game-tying attempts by the Bobcats minutes later, the Falcons would have temporary breathing room as AJ Clark (Burlington, NC) helped put the hosts back up 13 with 6:37 to play.
With 39 seconds left and Pfeiffer up nine, 84-75, an old-fashioned three-point play by Charles Clarke (Orlando, FL) and five-straight points by Asad Lamot (Mebane, NC) cut the lead down to two, 85-83, with 12 seconds left in regulation. After a Clarke foul, Jerod Wallace (Charlotte, NC) would then step to the line and drain both free throw attempts to secure a four-point win for the Falcons.
In addition to the 23 points, Humphrey would tack on 11 rebounds for a double-double while Wallace finished the night scoring 14. Sepokas led the Bobcats with 19 on the night as one of five in double-figures. Pfeiffer shot 43% in the victory while holding a +7 rebounding margin over the Bobcats 47-40.
After a few days off the court for the Thanksgiving break, the Falcons will head south to Limestone for their first league road contest of the season. Tip off with the Saints will be at 7:30 p.m.

Adding properties
Properties can be added in a couple of ways. Firstly you can use the instance method syntax seen previously:
In this case the property is dictated by the closure and is a read-only property. You can add the equivalent setter but then remember you will have to store the property somewhere for retrieval later so make sure you use thread safe code. For example you could store values in a synchronized Map using the object identity as the key:
This is not the only technique however. For example in a servlet contain you may store the values in the currently executing request as request attributes (as is done in some cases in Grails).
Alternatively you can simply assign a value as follows:
In this case the property is mutable and has both a setter and getter.

Apropos of our discussion last week, here's a question. Let's say you see another player make a mistake. When should you offer them unsolicited advice?
- They're playing solo and you come across them randomly.
- They're part of your Random Dungeon group.
- They're part of your PuG Raid Group.
- They're a member of your guild.
- They're a member of guild's steady raid team.
- They're a long-time "in-game" friend.
- They're a "real-life" friend.
- They're a family member.
- Never. Only offer advice if someone asks for it.
I think most of us are more willing to offer advice as you go down the list. The more tenuous the social connection, the less likely we are willing to offer unsolicited advice.
Where I disagree with a lot of readers, it seems, is that I think it is perfectly appropriate to offer advice to pretty much everyone. Why not? Are you afraid of looking elitist?
Obviously you should be tactful, but if you're a skilled player, I don't think it's a good thing to just keep your head down and collect badges.

It is dominated by the Greater Los Angeles Area but includes the San Diego area as well. There is too much traffic (the worst in the country), too much air pollution (also the worst in the country), too many gangs, too much crime, an outragious cost of living, earthquakes, midslides, race riots, police chases and illegal immigrants. The people are also fake with fake cheeks, fake lips, fake boobs and fake tummies. Many people put more value in what you have than who your are. It rarely rains and gets too hot in the summer, depending on location. Southern California is where where Hollywood (the district and industry) produces its numerous motion pictures and tv shows.

Ace Atkins takes on big challenge – Spenser
When best-selling crime novelist Robert B. Parker died a couple of years back, it was expected that his iconic Spenser character and series was gone, too. Not so. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the newest Spenser tale – the first of what could be many written by accomplished Oxford author Ace Atkins. (May 7, 2012, Page 4)
