Honestly stern, basketball reasons
This might be one of the worst trades in history..
Orlando not only didn't dump Hedo, BUT THEY TOOK ON HARRINGTON. They're going to pay Harrington/Afflalo/Turk/Big Baby about $32 million next year.. and none of them expire. Davis and Harrington are on contract for THREE YEARS. They're going to be paying $13 million every year for back up PFs, and they just got Ayon!
None of those picks will be any good either, and I don't think they'll be horrible enough to really tank. This is the ****ing worst trade I've ever seen quite honestly and I hope the Orlando owner ends up vetoing it. Jesus.
Honestly stern, basketball reasons
Orlando getting so butt hurt it's not funny
They rather take crap the Lopez & Brooks?
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
who has the cap next year to sign Bynum after he leaves philly, and what teams would he stay with?
Stay with (or go to): He's already been linked to CLE and DAL in prior speculated Howard trades. However, I could see him staying with Philly given their young core, and the relatively close distance to his hometown in NJ.

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Iggy is not the go to guy they are missing since the Carmelo trade, but they will dawn athletic ! Lawson, Iggy, Chandler, Farreid, Mc Gee... wow !
Going from undersize to a deep team in the paint. They will move Haws to the 4 spot, and Kwame as a back up. Tuner and Bynum can both have some great season
D12/Howard is the best paint in the world. But they still have nobody to guard quick guard like CP3 and Westbrook
Should publish a book, "How to destroy your franchise when you have the best C in the league". I hope they will be terrible and pick up a draft bust next year.
OK Broussard says that Orlando didn't want Pau because of his age and salary... Pau has 2 years and 20 million on his contract. OK fair enough... but why not take Pau anyway and flip him for some more assets? I'm sure they could have found a team that was willing to take Gasol for SOMETHING! Man that's dumb.
But I get it now... since this dude is "Sam Presti-ish... he's gonna tank and get the top pick in next year's draft. I still say he should have gotten Pau and flipped him though even if only for a couple pick.
If anyone seriously thinks we're going to win anything with the whole league trying to help the best teams get better and no hard cap whatsoever..well, delusion can only carry you so far. Why don't the lakers go to the d-league? They'll be able to win every year. Man i'm pissed, seriously.
It just amazes me how the Lakers keep finding suckers to trade with. The rest of the league should make a rule that NOBODY trades with the Lakers... make them actually build a team thru the draft.
The Magic passed on much better deals than this one. They traded d12 for a #1 from McDonalds and a bus token. They could have let him walk and got the same deal. Sheesh!!! I'm glad we have Dell. This deal is so bad. How do you trade D12 and get a protected 1st round pick as a part of the deal. The NBA should step in and protect the Magic from themselves.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Should of traded for Pau, then traded Pau to rockets for some of there rooks
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
People, don't y'all realize ORL got paid under the table to except this deal! The Lakers are like the basketball mafia!!!!!
And its days like this, where I laughed at Laker fans for calling the CP trade denial "UNFAIR."
In the end, the Lakers have somehow gotten Nash and Dwight for Odom, 2nd round picks, Bynum. Don't forget they pretty much swiped Gasol back in the day for nothing as well. Lakers are going to be so ridiculously dominant its not even funny. I think their "Big 3 or 4" is light years better than the one in Miami. Big Man, SG, and PG who likes to pass....its scary.
Not going to lie though, diehard fan of Hornets or not, this Laker team should be fun to watch (especially beating the Heat). As much as it pisses me off to see him go there, I'm still psyched about the Hornets team next year and our bright future. Should be fun
Kobe, Pau and Nash are all on major declines, this is similar to the Payton,Malone, Kobe, Shaq Lakers team and where did that team go??
Well if it helps, I think Mo Harkless will be a great fit...
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
dang I really wished we had signed Mcgee lol

Leave a Legacy to Hartford Seminary and Join the Mackenzie Heritage Society
The Mackenzie Heritage Society recognizes current and past donors of planned gifts to Hartford Seminary. To become a member, you have only to include Hartford Seminary in your estate plans. You could
- Establish an estate plan, and include Hartford Seminary among the beneficiaries
- Update your existing estate plan to include Hartford Seminary or
- Let us know if your have already included Hartford Seminary in your estate plan, or even if you intend to do so.
Hartford Seminary welcomes your inquiries, which are all held in strict confidence, and stands ready to assist you. We also strongly advise and encourage donors to always consult with their own attorney or trusted advisor as well. For more information, please feel free to contact the Director of Institutional Advancement at (860) 509-9556 or send an email to email@example.com.
Planned Gifts
What began in 1833 with a vision for developing leadership in ministry has evolved today into renowned center for scholarship, dialogue and research. The vision of the founders of Hartford Seminary has flourished. Their legacy is intact, in many ways because of the generosity and foresight demonstrated by those whose gifts were made as planned gifts to support the future growth of the institution.
Hartford Seminary today lives out its dedication to the concept of praxis — putting thought and belief into action in support of faithful living. The Seminary today receives support from churches and people of all denominations, and relies on the generosity of individual, corporate and foundation donors, including the estate plans of individuals, to continue to serve as a leader in theological education and research, and in advancing understanding and acceptance through interfaith dialogue.
Estate planning is important to every individual, regardless of their wealth. Planning provides the opportunity to support causes and institutions that are important to individuals and families.
The Inderstrodt Legacy
The late Jane and Bill Inderstrodt, both Hartford Seminary alumni, made provisions in their estate plans help Hartford Seminary continue its spiritual and educational traditions both now and in the future. Known to many of the Hartford Seminary family, the Inderstrodts had long and varied careers in ministry, teaching and church administration ranging from Washington D.C. to positions in Connecticut and Maine. They both continued to be very busy at the end of their lives, even helping to coordinate fundraising for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The Mackenzie Heritage Society recognizes current and past donors of planned gifts to Hartford Seminary. What began in 1833 with a vision for developing leadership in ministry has evolved today into a renowned center for scholarship, research and dialogue. The vision of the founders of Hartford Seminary has flourished. Their legacy is intact, in many ways because of the generosity and foresight demonstrated by those whose gifts were made as planned gifts to support the future growth of the institution.
Your Legacy Can Support Hartford Seminary's Vision:
Estate planning is also vital to organizations such as Hartford Seminary. Many planned gifts made to Hartford Seminary, unless otherwise restricted by the donor, provide income from the Seminary's endowment, year after year, to support its core academic programs. These include scholarships for deserving students; research; teaching in theology, scripture and contemporary ethics; the preparation of clergy for ministry; and creating an environment in which religious differences can be discussed.
Your Bequest to Hartford Seminary:
Bequests are the most common form of planned gift. Sample language follows:
"I give (…….dollars) or (a specific asset, such as securities, real estate or other property) or (all) or (…percent of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate) to Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, for the sole benefit of the Seminary (for its general purposes) or (for the following purpose:……………………………….)."
Types of bequests include:
An Outright Gift: You may designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to benefit Hartford Seminary.
A Residual Gift: You may designate a share of your estate, or the entire remainder of your estate, after your loved ones are provided for. A Contingent Gift: You may designate Hartford Seminary as beneficiary in the event that your primary heirs predecease you.
Some Examples:
You may also "perpetuate" your annual gift in a bequest. For example, a bequest of $10,000, held in trust and producing income at 5%, will continue or provide a $500 annual gift, year after year.
A "memorial" bequest, made in your name or in memory of a family or loved one, ensures an enduring tribute to loved ones who value the mission of Hartford Seminary.
Other Planned Gifts:
There are also planned gifts to consider which can benefit you during your lifetime, or benefit both Hartford Seminary and your loved ones.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A Gift Annuity's rate of return is based solely on your age at the time of the gift. Annuities may be funded with cash or appreciated securities, and provide fixed income payments for life to you and/or another person, successively. A significant portion of the income may be tax-free. You may defer income payments to a later date, such as retirement age, which may produce a substantial increase in the rate of return. Minimum gift is $1,000.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Trusts may be funded with cash, securities or real estate and income payments may be fixed or flexible. The most common type, the Unitrust, is valued annually and the donor is paid a fixed percentage of the value over the following year. Minimum gift is $50,000.
Pooled Income Fund
The Pooled Income Fund is like a mutual fund; it accepts gifts from many donors, manages them, and distributes each gift's portion of the earnings to the designated one or two life-income beneficiaries, successively. Minimum gift is $2,000.
Life insurance
Hartford Seminary can be named as the beneficiary of your life insurance, or the policy itself can be donated to the institution. If the policy is paid up, your tax deduction will generally be the replacement cost of the policy at the time it is donated.
Retirement assets
Retirement assets may be expensive for heirs to inherit. Naming Hartford Seminary as the beneficiary of your retirement fund may provide a significant tax savings to your estate.
Charitable lead trust
This gift provides current income to Hartford Seminary during your lifetime or for a specified term of years, after which the remaining principal is returned to you or your heirs. Payments to Hartford Seminary may be fixed or variable, depending on the terms of the Trust. Minimum gift is $100,000.

Check out these Aluminium Hex Hubs as an option part for use on most 1/10th scale touring cars.

Machined from lightweight aluminium alloy and purple anodized, these hubs offer tuning advantages, look great, hold the wheels firmly in place, and are far more durable than plastic hubs.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) have recently conducted our second series of discussions with agencies regarding their continued progress in accomplishing the objectives and requirements of the President's May 11, 2010, memorandum, Improving the Federal Recruitment and Hiring Process. This is an update on some successful practices and results of the reviews.
We are pleased to report agencies continue to make strides with improving the recruitment and hiring processes within the Federal government. Anecdotal and "data-driven" evidence validates that the energy and resources devoted to increasing manager's responses to the Manager Satisfaction Survey; implementing more stringent accountability measures into manager's performance plans; and improving how agencies are implementing Category Rating are contributing to the improved Federal hiring process. With continued OPM technical and operational support to aid agencies, we believe forward progress will be sustained.
A key goal of hiring reform is to implement changes that support the Federal government to become a premier employer. One way to achieve this goal is to communicate emerging practices and tips that can be leveraged across government. Below are some noteworthy practices and processes agencies provided us during our latest round of discussions. By sharing these with you, we believe we can collectively change the way government recruits and selects the best talent.
Data Analysis
Making data-driven decisions can be challenging for organizations. However two agencies demonstrated how they utilized metrics and measurements to improve their operational processes.
Standardization of Work Processes
Agencies continue to standardize work processes that assist with institutionalizing hiring reform into their human resources practices.
Communicating Results
Information sharing with stakeholders regarding the successes with hiring reform is essential for capitalizing on the support given by agency leaders.
Improving Hiring Manager and Applicant Satisfaction
Manager participation in the Managers' Satisfaction Survey is vital to understand whether hiring reform processes yield stronger candidates.
Here are a few additional tips on how agencies can improve hiring processes:
Collectively, these efforts enhance the Federal hiring process. OPM will continue to partner with and support agencies as they identify innovative and efficient processes to reform the Federal hiring. We encourage you to reach out to the agencies above to learn how their tools and processes can be adapted to meet the needs of your agency.
Please contact your assigned OPM Human Capital Officer (HCO) if you have any questions or need additional assistance to support your efforts.

Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a member of the Terrier Group.
Male: 35-40 lb.; female: 30-35 lb.
Male: 18-19 inches; female 17-18 inches.
A puppy's coat is red or mahogany. Adults have coats of any shade of wheaten.
This terrier sports an abundant coat with long, soft, silky hair in a gentle wave.
This self-confident breed is brave and strong. The Wheaten looks happy and alert.
Country of Origin:
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier may be a forerunner of the Kerry Blue Terrier. One legend suggests that with the sinking of the Spanish Armada, surviving blue terriers swam to Ireland where terriers sporting soft wheaten coats welcomed them. As a farm dog in the 1700s, the terrier performed tasks such as guarding the homestead, herding stock and hunting vermin. As gundogs, they retrieved game.
Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Nickname: Wheaten.
The affectionate Wheaten is gentle and playful. This curious dog takes an interest in its environment. The breed is friendly to strangers.
Provide socialization with the surroundings, children and adults when young. This responsive breed likes to please. Consistent and positive training works well. Consider the Wheaten's short attention span and headstrong tendencies. Obedience class may help.
The Wheaten needs a daily workout. Great activities include playing games and running loose in a safe, enclosed area. This dog enjoys moderate to long walks. Be aware that the Wheaten likes to hunt and chase.
This breed lives best indoors with a family. Although the Wheaten may be rough with small children, this dog is a good friend to children and other pets. Provide a safe, enclosed yard. This vocal dog has watchdog abilities. However, this sweet-tempered breed is too friendly with strangers and perhaps burglars to be a good guard dog. Consider the grooming requirements.
No breeders listed at this time.

Yeah...it is only half of what you stated but, there is cash added. Thanx for the early heads up on this one. I love the course. I'd play it if there was no cash added.

There IS $1,500 added, but $700 of it is earmarked for payout to the pros. May end up being more, not sure yet.

Our Tourism Commission is working HARD to make Lebanon a place to come for many different reasons. The Tourism Commission is the group that BUILT the course here, so they are usually eager to help build and promote disc golf tournaments here as long as it helps promote tourism dollars. Hence, the host hotel, the plans for Friday night to try to encourage players to stay the night here, etc.
Played there yesterday and had a blast (and lost one also)! Grass needs cut but with the amount of standing water in the fairways it may be a week or two before they can even think about that. Can't wait for the tournament!!!!!
If you want to mail in your registration, you can mail it to:

Looking forward to this one!!! Just hope there are more Pro's going than myself and Jeremy. It would really suck to play in back to back tournaments with only one other person to play against. Come on Pro's get signed up!!!!
Also just in case Martin can't make it to this one I will handle the Bag Tags at this tournament!!!!
Got an e-mail from Ellena that the check is in the mail. That means Eric will be here too! Keith can't make it though.
There seems to be some problem with the online sign-up, but I've got someone working on it.
If you plan on coming, but can't pay online, feel free to e-mail me or Jonathan with your name, PDGA number and division and I'll add you to the list. Just remember to PAY when you get here Friday or Saturday morning!!!
On that note, I would love to see as many here on Friday as possible! Should be great food (and it's INCLUDED in your registration) and a good time!!!
I saw the ad for this in the Pioneer News. Who's the oerson in the picture putting?

Module Overview
If you need to quickly consume and/or publish WS-I compliant web services, GroovyWS can help you.
If you are online and using the latest groovy version, here is the no-brainer way to use GroovyWS:
Make sure to have the correct GroovyWS grape config file
Make sure that you have javac in your path - this is required for automatic generation of the classes on the client side
Groovy 1.6.3 relies on Ivy 2.0 which has problem computing some dependencies checksums - if you experience this problem, you have to either download a Groovy snapshot or upgrade Ivy to version 2.1.0 (or above) in your $GROOVY_HOME directory.
If you need more control, see the GroovyWS installation notes.
Getting Started
GroovyWS comes with two sets of APIS that are briefly described below using a simple example.
When your service is using groovy beans on the server side, you may want to control the fields that are serialized. This is done using a small xml file located next to your script. A small example is demonstrating this:
When consuming a web service, you may also be using some complex types. Those types are automatically generated from the WSDL, compiled and made available via your classloader. The client API is providing you a method to easily instantiate such a complex object from its name. Obviously, knowing the class name can be difficult when using a complex web service and may require to study the contract (WSDL). In order to help the user, GroovyWS is logging the names of the classes generated on the fly.
The client side integrates seamlessly with Grails applications.
- Using WSClient in Grails
- Using the Grails XFire plugin and GroovyWS
- Using the Grails Axis2 plugin and GroovyWS
You can also used secured web-services with GroovyWS. If you wish to do so check Using WS-Security.
There exists a lot of public web services. We provide two examples that show how easy it is to use GroovyWS to tap on these resources.
More WSClient configuration is available if you need to use proxies, basic authentication and security related features.
The javadoc is probably the ultimate place to the missing bits. If you are missing a feature email us email@example.com.
CXF is generating tons of logging information. If you want to reduce the amount of information, you need to set the -Djava.util.logging.config.file property.
- A nice article from Geertjan's blog with several examples: http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan/entry/groovy_web_service
- An article explaining the difference between the different WSDL styles http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-whichwsdl/
They use GroovyWS
If you use GroovyWS, please let us know and feel free too add a quote in this section.
The build process is using gradle. In order to build the sources from svn, just run:
in the directory containing the source tree.
- Feel free to contribute by testing, giving your feedback, reporting bugs and sending patches.
1 Comment
We've used GroovyWS for several years (since it came out I think) and highly recommend this library. The mentioned wslite is not, imo, a suitable replacement. I hope that someone will pick up maintaining this library because it's dynamic inspection and code generation and dynamic binding for making WS calls is truly Groovy.

I bought the unit second hand, and to be quite honest, it's pretty srtaight forward, but I'd like it as there's one or two settings I cant quite sort out without it!
I hope somebody might know a site which I've not come across that might have one.
Thanks in advance,

Jaque Fourie's optimistic outlook has allowed him to shrug off life's disappointments.
'Life is lekker'. It's a philosophy that gets Jaque Fourie through the tough times, and it's the power of positive thinking that makes him grateful for every minute he's on the rugby field. Fourie is many things to many people: the best centre on the planet; the smartest defensive player in world rugby; one of the sport's finest finishers with 28 Test tries to his name; and of course, the team jester.
In the IRB dictionary, you'd find all of the above under the entry Jaque Fourie.
'I don't see it as my role to keep morale high or anything like that,' he tells SA Rugby magazine with an impish grin. 'It's just who I am. Life is lekker, and we're blessed to have this opportunity to do what we love. I love to make people laugh, I'm a positive person and I love spreading that positivity around. I've never been into stand-up comedy or anything like that; I'm actually very shy around people I don't know. When I'm with my friends and team-mates, I suppose I allow myself to get a bit crazy. I guess that positive vibe tends to rub off.'
For someone to fully appreciate the depth of Fourie's optimistic and unwavering faith in his own ability, they need to understand that it's been a tumultuous two years for the 26-year-old. There have been the euphoric highs of a series victory over the British & Irish Lions and the long-awaited claiming of the Tri-Nations title, but there've also been the grating lows of an acrimonious court battle with the Golden Lions and his ongoing struggle with injuries. It also took an injury to Adi Jacobs and the departure of his good mate Jean de Villiers to Dublin for him to reclaim his starting position, and yet, his attitude has remained constant throughout.
In 2008, a string of injuries prevented Fourie from re-entering the Bok startingfold. Jacobs, a Peter de Villiers favourite,took his opportunity and emerged as one of the star performers on South Africa's end-of-year tour to the United Kingdom. Jacobs also started at No 13 in two of the three Tests against the Lions until his own injury problems cost him a place in the Tri-Nations. Like Jacobs, Fourie took his chance, and resumed his world-beating partnership with Jean de Villiers.
The former Stormers captain is currently playing for Irish club Munster and was supposedly ineligible for national selection, which is why Jacobs shifted to inside centre for the Boks' recent tour of Europe, yet De Villiers was recalled when Jacobs got injured. Fourie told SA Rugby magazine in early 2009 that he wanted his No 13 jersey back, and stresses now that patience was a necessary virtue.
'I've never thought of it as winning back my position, it was more a case of getting back to my best form. I've always welcomed the pressure that comes with competing for a starting position. It's healthy for a team, and it ensures you don't just sit on your arse and wait for on-field opportunities to come your way. It's always easier to get into the Test team than it is to stay there.
'Adi and I are both professional players capable of playing different positions. Adi did well on defence in the Test against France, I think the real issue was our attack. We couldn't get on to the front foot because our scrum struggled and we were beaten at the breakdowns. Our partnership has potential.'
De Villiers and Fourie are recognised globally as Test rugby's best centre pairing, even though their respective injuries often prevented them from starting together in major tournaments. The 2009 Tri-Nations was a clear example of why they are so celebrated, with De Villiers's organisational strengths complementing Fourie's line-cutting knack. Fourie should be frustrated with De Villiers's decision to move to Ireland just when they had rediscovered that match-altering synergy, but he believes it's something De Villiers needed to do in order to take his skills to the next level.
'That was his decision and I have no problem with it. In early 2009, I was in talks with French club Clermont because I felt I needed a change of scenery. It'll be good for Jean to experience a different culture and type of rugby. We all saw what the trip to Wales did for Percy Montgomery as a player, and I'm sure Jean is going to return to South Africa a better player for his Irish experience. We agreed it's all about challenging yourself.'
It's the reason Fourie decided to move to the Stormers. The Lions haven't won the Currie Cup since 1999 and have finished in the Super 14's bottom four since the Cats franchise split in 2006. The Lions weren't willing to release Fourie given that he had another year to serve on his contract, which prompted Fourie to turn to his lawyer Frikkie Erasmus, who incidentally is the Stormers' commercial manager. On examining Fourie's contract, Erasmus discovered the player was employed as a 'technical analyst' and that the contract was not legally binding.
Fourie played his rugby for Hoërskool Monument and the Lions invested a great deal of time and money in his development. Chief executive Manie Reyneke said it was a slap in the face when he decided to cut his stay short, as the union had stood by him through every one of his injury setbacks.
This stirred a debate of professionalism versus integrity. A player must do what's best for himself financially, as sporting careers aren't as long as they used to be, but on the other hand you're only as good as your word, and a contract – legally binding or not – should be honoured.
Fourie believes the Lions missed the point. He was clear when he said he no longer wanted to represent a union that won't reach its former heights while he's still in his prime. He's not ungrateful, but he didn't appreciate their relentless efforts to keep him in what was essentially a losing environment.
'I don't want to badmouth the Lions, but what happened towards the end of last season was very sad,' he says. 'I really didn't want to play there anymore, but they went to extreme lengths to ensure I remained at the union. They made it as uncomfortable for me as possible by taking the matter to court. That was their mentality.
'For me, there had been no changes at the Lions and I told them I'd served my time and wanted to move on. But they didn't see it like that. It was a sad way to end the Lions part of my career.
'I can understand where they were coming from. They had just appointed a new CEO, hired a new coach and put plans in place for the future. But it was too late for me, my time was up and I wanted bigger and better things.'
Life wasn't so lekker for Fourie after the Tri-Nations. He was unable to secure an early release to join Western Province for the back end of the Currie Cup. No matter the outcome of the court case, the Lions were going to lose Fourie one way or another. If they had won the legal battle, they'd have kept a player who didn't want to be there.
WP and the Stormers are only slightly better off than the Lions when it comes to achievement. They last won the Currie Cup in 2001 and haven't made the Super Rugby play-offs since 2004. Senior professional coach Rassie Erasmus feels 2010 could be the year they crack the top four and has made some big signings in Fourie and Bok wing Bryan Habana, but it could be a while before these players find their feet in the Cape systems. Nevertheless, Fourie feels they are on the right track.
'Like the Lions, the Stormers struggle because they don't have the players,' he explains. 'You look at the Sharks and Bulls who are always right up there in Super Rugby and the Currie Cup because they each have at least 15 Boks at their unions. To think the Bulls can start a match with as many as 15 internationals is scary.
'The Lions only had one or two Boks in their side and it was a struggle. You'd have to play out of your skin to get close to winning a game, and I was fed up with that.
'The Stormers have some exciting players in their squad and have the potential to challenge for the Super 14 title and win the Currie Cup. It's a bonus that Bryan is coming down too, and I think there's a fantastic mix of experience and promising youngsters. I also think I'm the right kind of player for their game plan.'
It's an open secret that De Villiers will reassess his future with Munster in early 2010. If he opts for a release, we may see the potent pair reunited in Stormers colours in the build-up to the World Cup in New Zealand.
'When I spoke to him he did say he was eyeing a World Cup return,' Fourie confirms, unable to hide his effervescent optimism. 'That would make for a lekker Stormers backline. Peter Grant, Jean, myself, Bryan, Conrad Jantjes, Joe Pietersen – it all sounds very exciting.
'But that's thinking a bit too far ahead. The year 2009 was a big one for me, but there have been a few smaller sideshows I'd rather forget. I've had some niggles and the biggest disappointment was the Lions court case. Hopefully in 2010 there won't be any distractions and I can focus on my rugby.'

|All Children's Hosts Teen Safe Driving Leadership Academy
All Children's Hospital hosted the inaugural Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition Leadership Academy on July 15-17 to train and empower teens to become safety ambassadors at their schools and their communities. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens.
Over 25 teens from throughout Florida attended the academy which included traffic safety experts, educators, parents and community leaders. The Florida Department of Transportation Safety Office, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the Florida Sheriff's Department Teen Driver's Challenge, the Florida Police Chiefs Association and Florida SADD and MADD were also represented.
The Leadership Academy was designed to train and inspire teens as leaders who will create a safe driving campaign for their community. They receive seed funding for their project and mentorship support. They will join the Florida Teen Safe Driving Coalition as advisory board members.
During the numerous workshops, the teens were educated on many aspects of the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. They also developed injury prevention strategies to share at their schools and in their communities. FDOT's Public Information Officer, Dick Kane, conducted a media workshop to assist them in their efforts.
Patricia Byers, M.D, a trauma surgeon from Miami, spoke about the different causes of traumatic brain injuries. Melissa Wandall, who lost her husband to a driver who ran a red light in 2003, spoke about her efforts to get the red light bill passed in 2010. The teens participated in a road safety assessment and identified engineering issues to consider when building roads, intersections and sidewalks. They visited parts of downtown St. Petersburg and made suggestions about possible improvements to roads and other areas that seemed unsafe.
The teens also tackled issues concerning impaired driving and visited the All Children's Emergency Center where they met medical director, Wassam Rahman, M.D., who spoke about dangers of driving without seat belts.

text: On August 5th, 1940, an order was given to design an eight-wheeled armored car similar in design to the Sd. Kfz. 231. Unlike the previous design, where the armored body was bolted to the chassis, the Sd. Kfz. 234 armored hull was to serve as the chassis, thereby strengthening the overall integrity of the vehicle. Furthermore, the armored car was to have heavier armor and a 12-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine that would enable it to operate in the hot climate of North Africa as well as the cold steppes of western Russia. Two trial versions were built and an initial order was made for 500 vehicles, which was later increased to 1,500. The initial requirement was for a vehicle equipped with the 5cm KwK 39/1 gun (Sd. Kfz. 234/2). In January 1944, the order was cut to limit the Puma production to 100 vehicles so that two new variants could be created, one mounting a 2cm KwK gun and the other a more powerful 7.5cm KwK gun.

Beautiful Watch But BIG
By Pam
from Baltimore
I love the watch but when I chose the "ladies" version of it I expected a much smaller one. It looks like a man's watch on my wrist. I kept it, however, because of its uniqueness. I had to have a link removed because, again, it is large. Very light weight so that helps alleviate it being cumbersome because of its size.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful but Big
from Baltimore, MD
Love the uniqueness and color but for a watch specified to be a ladies' watch, it is big (band and face). It does not allow you to remove links only to add, so must have it professionally refitted.

Comments about Titan Trailblazer 26" Men's 18-Speed Mountain Bike:
This bike is good. It was easy to assemble and I rode it right away. Make sure you look in the pedal box for the allen wrench. I didn't find it until after I went to the store to buy one. It's not a tough bike but it is a solid ride on the streets and through the grass and dirt if I happen to encounter it. The front shocks are good and keep my hands from jolting around.

Financial Aid/Graduate Assistantships/Fellowships
Financial Aid
To find out what financial aid might be available to you, contact the Student Financial Aid Office at email@example.com or visit www.kent.edu/financialaid. Many graduate programs offer one of three types of graduate assistantships: administrative, teaching or research. Most assistantships are awarded to doctoral students and some programs fund 100% of their graduate students while others do not. These competitive awards typically provide compensation in the form of a full tuition waiver in addition to a monthly stipend for 10-20 hours of work per week. It is recommended that the student first inquire through their academic program regarding the availability of assistantships; however, other available assistantships along with other campus jobs are posted through Career Services at experience.kent.edu. For information on the role and status of graduate student appointees,click here. To access the graduate assistantship application (teaching and research), click here.
Graduate Assistantships
What is a graduate assistantship?
Assistantships provide students with training and valuable professional experience in a variety of higher education work environments. Assistantship duties should not interfere unduly with academic studies, but rather should contribute to students' intellectual growth and degree goals.
Assistantships are considered primarily as a form of financial aid to help students complete graduate school. Compensation may include a stipend, tuition remission and subsidized health insurance.
All assistantships include a stipend, which is intended to help defray the costs of housing, food and transportation. A stipend is a fixed sum of money that is not necessarily based on work performed or hours of work. It is paid on a semimonthly basis (15th day and last day of each month), and is subject to applicable state, federal and local taxes. Stipend amounts vary by discipline and program, as well as by type of assistantship.
Assistantships may include a full or partial tuition remission. Tuition remission does not cover the cost of various fees attached to tuition. A student who receives tuition remission only (no stipend) does not have a service commitment. Such a student, however, must be enrolled full-time (i.e., at least eight credit hours per semester) in a specific degree program.
Subsidized health insurance is available for students with an assistantship. In academic year 2011-2012, Kent State University will apply a 70 percent credit towards the health insurance plan for graduate students. The health insurance credit is designed to assist students who do not have family or other health insurance.
What types of graduate assistantships are there?
Research Assistantship (RA)
Research assistants work in laboratories and other settings to assist faculty on research projects. The supervising faculty member may or may not be the student's main advisor. Duties vary by discipline and program, but generally include data collection, entry, and analysis; attending conferences to present results; and training and supervising less experienced research personnel. Research assistantships are generally funded by institutions external to KSU (e.g., Department of Education, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation).
Teaching Assistantship (TA)
Teaching assistants assist faculty with instructional responsibilities or serve as the principal instructor of one or more courses. Duties vary by discipline and program, but may include meeting with students; administering tests or exams; grading homework or exams; teaching recitation, laboratory, or discussion sessions; and teaching lecture courses.
Administrative Assistantship (AA)
Administrative assistants work with the administrative staff of a department/school, college or office to assist in the operations of the university. Duties vary widely, but may include gathering, organizing, and analyzing information; giving formal presentations; implementing and evaluating programs; academic advising; career counseling; and leadership development.
What is expected of a graduate assistant?
A full-time assistantship appointment is for a maximum of 50% time (approximately 20 hours of work per week), and a half-time assistantship appointment is for a maximum of 25% time (approximately 10 hours of work per week). A student may hold two half-time assistantships to total no more than 50% time. The remainder of a student's time is typically spent in making progress toward degree completion. Assistantships for more than 50% time, or two concurrent assistantships totaling more than 50% time, require the prior approval of the student's advisor, the department chair/school director, the dean of the college and the dean of the graduate school. Note, international students may not work more than 20 hours per week.
Who is eligible for an assistantship?
University-funded assistantships may be awarded, competitively, to those students who have applied for an appointment and who are academically eligible. In order to be eligible for either a full- or part-time graduate assistantship, a student must be enrolled full-time (i.e., at least eight credit hours per semester) in a specific degree program. Note, part-time and non-degree graduate students are not eligible for graduate assistantships or tuition waivers.
How can I find an assistantship?
Graduate assistantships are available in many academic departments and administrative offices, although availability varies by the field of study, type of degree (academic/research vs. professional), and degree level (master's vs. doctoral). Prospective graduate students should contact their department/program of choice for information regarding assistantship availability. Additionally, assistantships are occasionally posted on the Career Services website.
FellowshipsA fellowship is an arrangement in which financial support is given to a graduate student to pursue his or her degree without any obligation on the part of the student to engage in service. Fellowships are intended to support the degree completion of advanced students likely to complete their degrees with the added financial assistance of the fellowship.
Students must be nominated by their program/department. Students may not apply directly for consideration.

Ireland outclassed a woeful Australia, securing an impressive 21-6 victory at Lansdowne Road.
The hosts were sensational, mastering the gale force winds and driving rain through intelligent backline play and uncompromising work by an impressive pack.
They dominated both possession and territory for the entire Test, with the Wallaby's hardly making a foray into their 22 in the second half.
Australia's forwards continued their dreadful form, being dominated in both the tight and loose, and coach John Connolly will be wondering what to do to remedy this facet of play.
Only once did the Wallaby's maul gain any momentum, but even that 51st minute event fell apart when they were penalized for truck-and-trailer.
The Ireland back row of and Denis Leamy, David Wallace and Man-of-the-Match Neil Best were omnipresent, ensuring that their presence was felt on attack, and stifled Australia on defence, through slowing their ball at the breakdown or roasting runners in the tackle.
Collectively the Irish decision-making in difficult conditions was very impressive. They often opted to retain possession through multiple phases, sucking in Wallaby defenders. But when Ronan O'Gara called for the ball, the backline always looked dangerous.
Ireland nearly scored their first try in this very fashion, but the TMO ruled that Geordan Murphy had knocked on as he attempted to touchdown. The move was set up by 22 phases of sustained Irish attack.
They made sure shortly afterwards however. O'Gara, who controlled affairs from pivot all match, displayed excellent ball handling and awareness when he first controlled a wobbly pass then executed a perfectly weighted cross-kick which Denis Hickey collected and stepped inside the cover defence to score in the left corner.
They struck again shortly before the break through a master class of attacking play.
In a sweeping move that flowed from left to right, a green wave surged towards the Wallaby tryline. O'Gara looped with Brian O'Driscoll then found the hard running Shane Horgan 10 metres out, and the big winger dished inside to Geordan Murphy to score.
O'Gara's conversion sent the hosts into the break with a 15-6 lead.
Australia never recovered from that and their already difficult task was made harder when they had Mat Rogers and Phil Waugh sin-binned for a physical confrontation with Leamy, who joined them on the wood.
Any hopes of a resurgence that an early Mortlock penalty might have brought were quickly dashed by two from O'Gara, who later almost created Hickey's second try with another cross-kick, before the wing as bundled into touch by Chris Latham.
Ultimately Australia were beaten by a much more organised and well coached unit, who are fast building a reputation as world rugby's side to watch.
Sadly we will not get to see what would have been a magnificent Test against New Zealand, but the World Cup could be a better stage for that clash.

Men's Basketball Comes Up Just Short Against Belmont Abbey
February 8, 2014
MISENHEIMER, NC - Belmont Abbey (9-13, 5-7 CC) scored 54 second half points to come away with a 97-88 victory over Pfeiffer (5-17, 2-10) on Saturday evening at Merner Gymnasium. The Crusaders went exactly 17-for-36 from the field in both the first and second halves and had three players score 20 or more points. Pfeiffer shot 50 percent for the game and was led by 21 points from AJ Clark.
The trio of Darryl Durham, Justin Kuhlman and Ryan Conrad combined for 71 points on the night, led by a game-high 28 from Kuhlman. Durham added 18 rebounds for the double-double and Kuhlman dished out 11 assists, while converting all 11 of his free throw attempts.
The Crusaders knocked down 10-of-21 three point attempts and had 24 assists.
Pfeiffer struggled from the free throw line, going just 8-for-20 while the Crusaders took advantage of their free throws, hitting 19-of-24.
Mark Goods got the Falcons started on the right foot as he scored six of the Falcons' first eight points. The rest of the half was tightly contest with the lead never getting higher than a seven point differential. Charlie Wagoner's basket in the paint gave Pfeiffer a 47-41 lead, but Conrad answered and cut the deficit to 47-43 going into the break. Clark and Mike Smith each scored nine points in the first half for Pfeiffer who shot 58.3 percent from the field.
Clark's jumper on Pfeiffer's first possession of the second half gave Pfeiffer a six point advantage. At the 15:19 mark, Silvere Aluko took a pass from Xavier Evans and gave Pfeiffer an eight point lead, their biggest of the night. The Crusaders eventually evened the score with 7:39 to play on a three pointer from Kuhlman. After a missed field goal from Clark, Conrad hit a three that gave Belmont Abbey the lead for good. The guests pushed the lead to as many as seven points, but Pfeiffer cut it to a one possession game after Smith hit 1-of-2 free throws at the 1:03 mark. However, the Crusaders hit all six of their free throw attempts down the stretch to secure the victory.
Andrew Guerrero had 13 second half points for Pfeiffer and missed only two shots.
Durham had a monster second half for the Crusaders, scoring 13 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in 13 minutes of action.
The rebounding margin was nearly equal as Pfeiffer grabbed one more rebound than Belmont Abbey.
Guerrero finished with 18 points and Smith had 14 before fouling out in the final minutes of the game.
Pfeiffer looks to bounce back this Wednesday as they travel to Erskine for a 7:30 p.m. match up.

ARDMORE, Pa. — Among those who had the shortest week at the U.S. Open took the longest road to even get to Merion.
For the first time since at least 1997, none of the 20 players who endured 18 holes of local qualifying and 36 holes of sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open made the cut.
That doesn't mean the experience was a total waste of time.
Former Forestview and East Carolina standout Harold Varner III made it through local qualifying, and he was an alternate from sectional qualifying to play in his first U.S. Open. He went 76-79 (15-over), so it was never really close when it came to staying for the weekend.
However, he finished strong. The 22-year-old Varner was even-par over the last seven holes on Saturday morning after his second round was suspended by darkness on Friday.
"I hit it a little bit better today. If I would have hit it as good as I did this morning, I would have finished a lot better," Varner said during a phone interview on Saturday. "But I'm pretty happy about that (the finish). I didn't just give in, and I could have easily done that."
Varner was one of two U.S. Open participants who competed in The First Tee event at Pebble Beach this past fall — Scott Langley was the other. The biggest surprise of the course was the size of the crowd.
"When I played in the Wal-Mart First Tee, there were a lot of people, and then I played in the one Web.com in Charlotte, seeing that many people," Varner said. "But this week was obviously like a circus. It was unbelievable."
From here, Varner will look to qualify for the Web.com event next week in Raleigh —the Rex Hospital Open at TPC Wakefield Plantation. Qualifying will be held on Monday at the University of North Carolina's Finley Golf Course.
If he doesn't qualify, Varner said he will compete in the eGolf Tour's Mimossa Hills Open in Morganton.
Of course, his ultimate goal is to earn his PGA Tour card, but he doesn't have a timetable for reaching the top level of golf.
"I'm just taking it one tournament at a time. I feel like I can do this for the rest of my life, but some make it early and some make it late," he said. "I'm just going to keep going until I make it.
"I had a blast. I wouldn't do this if I wasn't having fun. I enjoy being good at something."

The riders have their second rest day of this year's Tour on Monday. It comes a day after the 2013 Tour's longest stage, a 150.7-mile trek that ended with an "hors categorie" -- a climb deemed tougher than a Category 1, which is the highest climb designation -- up the 6,300-foot Mont Ventoux.
Froome, who took the overall lead July 6 after winning another mountain stage, won Sunday's stage in a time of nearly 6 hours. Only one other rider was within 1 minute of his winning time.
Froome also finished second last Wednesday in the individual time trial, ending up 12 seconds behind Tony Martin. No other rider was within a minute of Martin.
That array of skills has Froome leading the Tour by 4 minutes, 14 seconds over Bauke Mollema going into the final week of the Tour.
Alberto Contador, who won the Tour de France in 2010 but the title was rescinded due to doping allegations, is third 4:25 off Froome's pace. (Contador also won the Tour in 2007 and '09.)
Roman Kreuziger is fourth, 3 seconds behind Contador and Laurens Ten Dam is fifth, 4:54 back of Froome.
The rest day occurs in southeastern France with four mountain stages and another individual time trial this week ahead of Saturday's closing ride into Paris. There are six stages, totaling 518.7 miles, to go.
Tuesday's route is rated a medium mountain stage as the riders go 104.4 miles from Vaison-la-Romaine to Gap, deeper into the Alps. There are two Category 2 and one Category 3 climbs.

Darbo Lingonberry Conserve 2 2
Excellent Product Lingonberry preserves are so hard to find, but so very, very good once you do. This Lingonberry product (they call it sauce, I call it jam) is tart and sweet, and the little berries just burst in your mouth when you bite down. It's delicious! June 21, 2013
Best lingonberry preserve I've tried every brand I could find; this is,without doubt, the best. January 2, 2013

Hey guys,
I'm working on my webcomic/animated series Blade of the Last Gods, but I'm doing things a little differently on how I build my fan base. When we reach a certain amount of Facebook Likes, I release new content. So far it's been images but once we hit 10,000 Likes, it will be a webcomic. After 4 days we've gained 2,500+ fans.
Check out the page here and click "Like" so we can unlock the webcomic for all the fans!

Well, I don't have a Facebook account, so I'm probably not going to enjoy your comic. ^^;
Good luck with your project, nonetheless. Looks neat.
Building fanbases takes lots of time. I have a bunch of readers that keep coming back on my site for updates. Haven't accomplished too much in 1 year and a half since I started my webcomic. Must have like a little over 100 or so. I don't even know anymore since ComicRank died. They are veeery quiet and I rarely get any feedback. ;< I know they've increased since I started running campaigns on PW. If they like my stuff, they will be back for more.
And honestly, I'm sort of afraid of popularity.
It has its ...downsides. I sort of want to have it one day, but I'm just not ready for it right now.

Mine has been growing slowly but steadily. PW and word of mouth are my biggest factors. I've finally reached a point now where the fans comment regularly and voice thier opinions
I agree that too much popularity is a scary concept only b/c readers can point out alot of harsh truths and there is more pressure to preform for them. I think I rather ease into popularity than get it all at once. But if it happened I don't think I'd complain
I gotta say the 2500 FB likes is impressive! I have a hard time getting my fans to connect to my comic' s Social media.

2500+ likes in 4 days!??!?! I don't even have that many views on my site, and it's been up for like 2 months. You're sort of holding your artwork for ransom, and it's totally working. I feel like if I did that my comic would just die from lack of interest.
Good job, really.

I still feel that my comic is too new to have much of a fan base. I known that some people are reading it because they are friends, but other than that I don't have much of a clue if they are coming back. I don't think I would hold my comic for ransom though, its just not my style.
I haven't started advertising yet because like I said the comic is new, but knowing at least 10 people probably look at it regularly is enough for me.
I hope that your plan works and you don't hit a dead end.

I don't even know how you'd reach 2500 people in 4 days, much less get that many to hit "Like" on a thing they haven't been able to read.
My latest endeavor is to gather up all the creators of my favorite popular(ish) web-comics, email each of them individually, and ask them to take a look at my comic. If they like it, I ask them to tweet about it or Facebook it in hopes that some of their fans may cross over.
Also, pasting the link on every forum post I make.
