GARETH DUNCAN analyses this weekend's play-offs.
SHARKS vs BLUE BULLS, DURBAN, SAT 16:30
These two teams have enjoyed the returns of several Springboks, which contributed to their wins last weekend. However, I think John Plumtree's management of his Test players will be key in what happens at Kings Park.
Plumtree learnt a hard lesson in last year's final at Ellis Park as his fatigued Boks, who had returned from the World Cup a fortnight before, were rushed into the starting XV and failed to make an impact. The Lions won that title decider 42-16.
However, this year, the Kiwi coach has eased his Test players back into the team and has rewarded the others who made telling contributions to the Sharks' run to the top of log with starting spots.
The Sharks have the best backline in the competition, and they have an in-form, young halfback pair in Cobus Reinach and Pat Lambie to spearhead them. The hosts also have a strong pack, and the returns of tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis and flank Marcell Coetzee are valuable promotions to the forwards this weekend.
The Bulls have a near-Super Rugby strength side available, but they can't afford the start they experienced against the Lions. They're facing the Sharks, who are the best attacking team of the competition and boast the best defensive record.
The Bulls will need to get early momentum, and this will depend heavily on their forwards and the performance of flyhalf Morné Steyn. Considering their poor domestic run this year, it would be a massive achievement.
However, the Sharks should be good enough to restrict the visitors and end their hopes of a fairytale turnaround in this year's Currie Cup.

Sharks – 15 Louis Ludik, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Paul Jordaan, 12 Tim Whitehead, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Pat Lambie, 9 Cobus Reinach, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Jandré Marais, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Kyle Cooper, 1 Dale Chadwick.

Gareth's prediction: Sharks by 12
GOLDEN LIONS vs WP, JOHANNESBURG, SAT 19:00
Both teams will have fresh memories of the Lions' 22-9 victory at Newlands a fortnight ago. But this will be a stronger Province team the Johannesburg union will be facing this weekend.
WP cruised to victory against the Cheetahs at home during the last league round, thanks to the return of their seven Springboks. The likes of Tiaan Liebenberg, Andries Bekker, Duane Vermeulen, Bryan Habana, Jean de Villiers and Juan de Jongh added much-needed grunt and bolstered the side.
However, the loss of De Villiers, Liebenberg and Bekker to injury will be telling. I don't think Marcel Brache and De Kock Steenkamp are good enough to fill the gaps left by the players they've replaced. Siyabonga Ntubeni isn't as imposing as Liebenberg, but he has impressed me during the Currie Cup this season and Allister Coetzee will hope the youngster does a good job on match day.
Province will need their heavies to front their battle as they come up against the strongest pack of the Currie Cup. The Lions rested the likes of JC Janse van Rensburg, Jacobie Adriaanse and Franco van der Merwe last weekend, and will come out firing at Ellis Park.
The strengths of the Lions have been their set-piece execution and their ability to slow down and poach ball at the breakdowns. If they can replicate that form this weekend, they'll have the platform to beat WP.
Expect both flyhalves to play a vital role with the boot.
Lions WLWLWWWWLL

Gareth's prediction: Lions by 5
FREE STATE CHEETAHS vs EP KINGS, BLOEMFONTEIN, FRI 19:10
Usually, Free State would've been the easy pick to win this contest.
But losing 13 first-choice players is an injury crisis most teams would struggle with. Their inconsistent form on the domestic stage this season is also a concern. However, they still have a team strong enough to beat the First Division champions at home.
Free State will target the forward battle. The return of flanker Lappies Labuschagne is a major boost for the loose trio, while Adriaan Strauss will be a key feature in the front row. If the hosts gain the ascendancy up front, their dangerous backline will cause some problems for EP.
The Kings have lost five players to injury over the last fortnight, with the big blows being in-form skipper Luke Watson and lock Darron Nell. The men from PE also struggled under pressure against a physical Pumas outfit last weekend, and they'll face a stronger unit in the Cheetahs, who have some hard men up front.
Free State should win the first leg, but the interesting fixture will be the second play-off in PE next weekend.
Cheetahs LWWLLLLWWL
EP Kings (First Division) WWWWWDWWWWWWDWWWWW
Cheetahs – 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Phillip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Hendro Scholtz, 5 Izak van der Merwe, 4 Francois Uys, 3 Ross Geldenhuys, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Marcel van der Merwe
Subs: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Schalk van der Merwe, 18 Carl Wegner, 19 Davon Ruabenheimer, 20 Tewis du Bruyn, 21 Phillip Snyman, 22 Rayno Benjamin.
EP Kings – 15 SP Marais, 14 Paul Perez, 13 Wayne Stevens (c), 12 Shane Gates, 11 Michael Killian 10 Wesley Dunlop, 9 Falie Oelschig, 8 Cornell Du Preez, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Devin Oosthuizen, 5 David Bullbring, 4 Reynier Bernardo, 3 Clint Newland, 2 Hannes Franklin, 1 Jaco Engels.

I never wore this before except from a spray of my little cousin as a gift 2013....and feel in love with it!!!!!! Had to have my own I totally forgot about it and saw it here on fragrencenet and had to put my order in....I was super excited especially the bottle itself is sooooo cute. I see reviews saying its so strong and I don't find it to be strong at all or "CHEAP" I think Betsy did a great job with this one!! :))

I really liked this. It has different levels over time. On first spray you smell the sweet fruit. Over time you can smell the spice and toward the end is the heavier woods. Daytime to night, one fragrance. It is perfect for the busy lady out there that never has time to reapply a different fragrance for the evening. I think Betsey Johnson did very well on this fragrance. I am always looking for a base patchouli scent. Received many compliments from both genders. Thanks

I wanted to like this scent so bad, but I just couldn't. It's SO strong, lasts forever (usually a good thing) and smells cheap. It caused a headache and nausea for me, and I couldn't wash it off easily. I can't even tell what notes are supposed to be in this scent, it's just so bad. The bottle is adorable though! Maybe it just didn't work for me (although I'm pretty open to most scents), but I can't give it any more than 1 star :(

If you have roses growing in your yard, you are eligible to enter the 2012 Cleveland/Lincoln County Rose Society Rose Show.
Entry is free; the only catch is you have to know the name of the rose, said Jan Dumas, who serves as Rose Show co-chair with Fred Wright.
"Our rose show is our gift to the community and we hope the public will visit and enjoy the show," Dumas said. "You have to know the name of the rose to be able to put it in its proper class."
Members of the society raise money and ask for donations each year to provide prizes for the winning roses. Judges from North and South Carolina and Virginia volunteer their time to select the best roses in each category.
The public will be asked to vote at the "Fragrance Table" for the best fragrant rose.
"About noon when judging is over, the votes are counted and a name is drawn from the most fragrant," Dumas said. "This person is contacted by phone and wins a rose bush."
After the show, people will have an opportunity to buy arrangements of roses, bud vases or single roses for a nominal amount.
"Some people ask us to make arrangements for them to take to church the next day," Dumas said.
Entries this year should be interesting, because some roses bloomed early. Dumas said she won't have as many flowers to enter because of the earlier blooming cycle. Roses typically bloom from late April until the first frost – six to seven cycles, she said. Consulting Rosarians will be at the show to answer questions about how to grow roses and to give out literature. People who think growing roses requires too much work, should try the new "Knock Out" roses.
"They are carefree," Dumas said. "Anyone can grow them and you see them everywhere. They are pretty in borders."
Want to go?
The Cleveland/Lincoln County Rose Society hosts its 39th annual rose show on Saturday at Cleveland Mall. Entries will be accepted from 7 to 10 a.m. and judging will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone may enter their "named" home grown roses; society membership is not required. The rose show opens for public viewing from 1 to 4 p.m.
About the Cleveland/Lincoln Rose Society
The Cleveland County Rose Society started in the early 1970s with a few members meeting at Alston Bridges Barbecue. Charter members were Mable Bridges, Dennis and Suzy Bridges, Geraldine Melton, Glenn and Christine Smith, George and Mildred Costner and John and Laura Shuford. The first rose show was held at Cleveland County Memorial Library in 1973. The name changed to Cleveland/Lincoln Rose Society when members from Lincoln County joined the group. The society is affialiated with the Carolina District and American Rose Society in Shreveport, La.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round." – Ben Hogan
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today." – Dale Carnegie
"Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses." – Alphonse Karr
"Truths and roses have thorns about them." – Henry David Thoreau
"An idealist is one who, on noticing that roses smell better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup." –H.L. Mencken
"Marriage is like life; it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses." – Robert Louis Stevenson
"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck." – Emma Goldman
"It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees." – George Eliot
"The sharp thorn often produces delicate roses." – Ovid
"God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December." – James M. Barrie
"A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses." – Jean Cocteau

OXFORD, Ohio – Miami's second-seeded women's soccer team scored twice in the first half and added another in the second to cruise to a 3-0 win over Northern Illinois Sunday afternoon at the Miami Soccer Field. The win kept the RedHawks (11-6-3) undefeated at home in Mid-American Conference tournament action all-time with a 12-0 record and secured a spot in the league semifinals next weekend while ending the Huskies' season with a record of 6-11-3.
"It was a comprehensive result," head coach Bobby Kramig said. "Good defending and good defending. Three good goals and a shutout. I really feel like we're playing good soccer at the moment. It's nice to be continuing in the conference tournament feeling good about the game you're playing and what you're doing."
Sophomore midfielder Haley Walter scored the game-winner in the 30th minute when she raced through the penalty box and tapped in a loose ball off a throw in by sophomore midfielder Jess Bronke. Bronke's long throw from the left sideline was redirected with a header by senior midfielder Kayla Zakrzewski toward the right post where Walter finished it for the 1-0 Miami lead on her fifth goal of the season.
Just over a minute later the RedHawks struck again when junior forward Kelsey Dinges fired a long, arching shot from 20 yards out into the upper right corner for the 2-0 lead. She took a pass from freshman midfielder Jenna Wiener and found herself in open space and dribbled toward the penalty box before sending it past Northern Illinois goalkeeper Amy Carr to tie senior Katy Dolesh for the team lead in goals with seven.
Miami outshot the Huskies by a 6-0 margin in the first half and did not let up in the second, continuing to attack in the offensive end with six shots to Northern Illinois's three.
Six minutes into the second half the RedHawks added to their lead on freshman midfielder Rachel Marble's second goal of the season. Fellow freshman Taylor Jackson sent in a corner kick that curved toward the goal. After a deflection, it hit the crossbar and landed right at the foot of Marble who sent it into the back of the net for the 3-0 Miami lead. Both of Marble's goals this year have come against Northern Illinois in the last month as she tallied her first in the teams' first meeting on Oct. 18 in Oxford.
Senior keeper Allison Norenberg increased her school records for shutouts in both a season and career with 10 and 22, respectively, with a two-save performance.
Fifth-year senior Kelly Sullivan came on with 11 minutes to play and fellow senior Ariana Kulinczenko entered with nine minutes to go as the Miami seniors played in their final home game. The senior class of Sullivan, Kulinczenko, Dolesh, Zakrzewski, Norenberg, defender Sam Parrish and forward Sydney Busch closed out their career on the Miami Soccer Field with the win as the remainder of the season will be on the road. Top-seeded Eastern Michigan dealt with Ohio, 3-0, in Ypsilanti to secure home field advantage throughout the remainder of the conference tournament.
"I'm very pleased to send our seniors off with a good result, a good victory," Kramig said.
Dolesh, the team captain, echoed the positive thoughts about the win in her class's final home game, but maintained focus on the upcoming weekend.
"It's hard as a senior, you always think about the last things," she said. "But you can't dwell on it, you kind of keep playing every game like you have in the past and not let it affect you."
The RedHawks will travel to the Eastern Michigan campus to take on Ball State, whom they defeated last week on Oct. 31 by a 3-2 count, in the league semifinals. The Cardinals are coming off a 2-1 win over Central Michigan. The other semifinal match will be between Eastern and Western Michigan. Times for both games are yet to be determined with the winners meeting on Sunday to decide the league tournament champion.

Here's how: With your hands against the edge of a desk or table, raise your body until just before your elbows fully lock, then slowly lower your body to desk or table level. Repeat for 15 reps.
Get ready
Before you do these exercises, Mr. Orvis recommends warming up with 5 to 10 minutes of walking, then doing a few reps of the exercises you'll do that day.
"Always cool down afterward with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching," says Mr. Orvis.

92-year-old woman drives into Chartiers CreekPublished Jul 25, 2013 at 11:44 am (Updated Jul 25, 2013 at 11:44 am)
Workers prepare to extract a car that was driven into Chartiers Creek at Valley Brook Country Club the morning of July 24.
Cara Sapida/WPXI
A 92-year-old Mt. Lebanon woman told police she was not injured when her car traveled through pine trees and down an embankment before landing upright in Chartiers Creek near the Valley Brook Country Club July 24.
Peters Township police Capt. Michael Yanchak said Mary David of Bower Hill Road, said she believed she put her car in park in the country club parking lot at 10:10 a.m. before attending an event at the club. Somehow her foot hit the gas pedal and her car went over the berm, through the pine trees and nose dived in the creek, which, Yanchak said, was higher than normal due to the recent heavy rains.
David was alone in the car and was wearing a seatbelt that, Yanchak said, was still on when emergency responders arrived.
Firefighters from Peters Township Fire Department extricated David, the sole occupant of the car.
As a precaution, David was taken to St. Clair Hospital to be checked. The hospital does not release information on patients' conditions.

Of course all 4 are worth having. If I should choose one I'd pick Cuir de Russie because it is a special, smooth and sensual leather-and-so-much-more-fragrance.
Dear Friends,
That time of the month where i have to pick ONE from Chanel's Les Exclusif Range.
I found that i liked these the best (in no order)
1.Bois Des Iles
2.Cuir De Russie
Please Do me the favor by Selecting the "One".
I do not know how to post a poll - or i would have.
Thanks a million!
Of course all 4 are worth having. If I should choose one I'd pick Cuir de Russie because it is a special, smooth and sensual leather-and-so-much-more-fragrance.
Sycomore. A masterpiece.
Cuir de Russie in extrait de parfum version is my no 1. Bois des Iles and Sycomore are fantastic as well though!
i am leaning more towards Bois Des Iles or Cuir de Russie - but its difficult to choose - esp dry down from a chanel card!
Cuir de Russie.
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
Bois des Iles is my personal favorite, I have the parfum.
You'll end up owning all 4 in the long run, but in the mean time Coromandel will yield you the most complements.
I would go:
1) Coromandel
2) Sycomore
3) Bois des Illes
4) Cuir de Russie
All 4 are good, but Sycomore wins this race in a walk!

If I could have only one I would go with Cuir de Russie. But I would buy all four!
One of the smoothest patchouli fragrances out there with plenty of sillage and longevity. Patchouli softened by woods, soft florals and white chocolate. The most daring of the Chanel Les Exclusifs as well.
I agree with Andy^
You might think differently about them if you've only sampled them on card so far, Instead of Bois des Iles I'd always recommend trying its spiritual follow up Egoiste instead for a guy.
Sycomore, by a large margin!
6 for Sycamore
5 for Cuir De Russie
2 for Coromandel
1 for Bois De Iles
From the First Impression - I preferred Cuir de Russie - Sycamore was scary, but i am beginning to love the dirty dry down
Coromandel is pretty special and Bois de Iles, is the easiest to wear in my climate! ( i live in a very humid country)
Really close call now between Cuir de Russie and Sycamore!
another one of Sycomore
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
All are wonderful. Coromandel and Sycamore are the longest lasting from my experience.
Bois De iles and CDR might be frustrating to you since they sit close to the skin.
These are my favourites as well. Difficult decision... No idea. I'd probably go for Coromandel
I'm a Coromandeliac.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
I have Sycomore and will be getting Cuir de Russie very soon so these are my priorities. Besides the ones you mention, I also like the Eau de Cologne.
For me it's a no-brainer. Sycomore wins hands down. Smoky opening but a luscious woody/sea breeze dry-down that had me buying a small bottle in hours. Soon I will buy another one of these for the winter season.
Since you live in Malaysia, I vote for Sycomore. It is the one I use the most in humid summers in DC, as it is fresh, natural smelling, and very persistent.
I love CdR too. I would consider buying the parfum, though (that is what I have), because it is more long lasting and richer, though less floral. Of course, it is also much more expensive.
You keep saying longevity is great but you don't mention projection along with it. Does the parfum just last longer as a skin scent period ?
Coromandel, but I have only sampled Cuir de Russie
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Cuir de Russie, although I received more compliments on Coromandel.
Coromandel may be the most surprising of the bunch. It's clearly a patchouli-prominent, but it has none of the negative/'dirty hippie' connotations that patchouli usually carries. Plus, the longevity is off the chart--WEEKS, no exaggeration. The smell even survives laundering!
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
Cuir de Russie and Coromandel are my favorites.
Cuir de Russie. Its so smooth that i dont want to smell nothing but my arm.
Bois des Iles is so common with Egoiste to own both.
Sycomore is very earthy to me, i dont like it any way.
Coromandel is heavy and a favorite of mine.
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
coromandel for me
thank you my friends - i am putting it down to Coromandel and Cuir De Russie - now need to choose
between these two -
i realize, Sycamore is just too heavy for me, even though it has the best composition out of all four as well as silage and longevity, malaysian humidity is just too insane for sycamore.
really? if anything I would have thought that Sycomore or maybe Bois would be best suited for the heat whereas Cuir will get way too heavy and Coromandel could go either way.
In this order:
Cuir De Russie
Sycomore, with Coromandel a close second.
Another one for Sycomore.
Bois des Iles for me, especially given you'll be wearing it in Malaysia.
Coromandel/Sycomore joint third.
Saying that donat take my advice I bought my 4 favourits and decants and minis of others as I couldn't make a decision!
Those bottles just look fantanstic all lined up next to each other Hint, hint.
- - - Updated - - -
Those bottles just look fantanstic all lined up next to each other Hint, hint.
I have a 75ml bottle of Cuir De Russie which cost me £100 from Selfridges in London.
I didn't have think twice about buying it.
If I find myself in London again, I will buy Sycomore ... and another bottle of CdR.
If it were up to me - definitely Bois des Iles - it is amazing!
If you would have asked me two weeks ago, I would also have gone Sycamore, but picked up Coramadel this past weekend, and now I do not know. It would be a tough decision on these two.
I hate to say it but after spending time with quite a few of the Les Esclusifs I find them leaning too much on the feminine side. Some are less feminine than others but ALL are rather sweet.
At the moment I own and love coromandel. However a little voice inside me tells me not to wear it in public. I am 5' 11 210 with mucho body hair. It just doesn't feel right. If anything it would be great on an intimate date.
There are definitely guys that can pull these off but IMO they aren't for everybody.
Again I hate to say it but I think some of you guys will agree....at least in private
Sycomore and Coromandel are in no way "feminine". Although they would smell great on a girl.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Tough one. I love all of them but would go for Sycomore.
Un parfum doit avant tout sent bon. - Guy Robert -
On the EU's amendment to sharpen restrictions on fragrance allergens
I just blind bought Bois des Iles after reading the description of notes on the Chanel website and not finding any samples to test on the net. I haven't received it yet, and I must say I'm a bit worried it may be too feminine for my liking without having sampled it. I'm not big on powdery scents. Can anyone comment on the powdery accords or lack there of in the Les Exclusifs BDI EDT?
Cuir de Russie and Bois des Iles are my favourites of the four, but Cuir de Russie is stand out the best of the bunch. Sycomore was and remains a huge disappointment to me, weak, pointless and sour. Coromandel is beautiful but challenging though ultimately very rewarding. Cuir de Russie would be my choice.
They are all good, depending on your personal taste in notes, you make that decision. If you have money, coromandel, cuir de russie is worth having, even though I feel coromandel is a bit more for mature audience. If you love vetiver then I will suggest sycamore

text:
Groovy uses both " and ' for strings. Either can be used. Using either type of string allows you to use strings with quotations easily.
The groovy parser supports the notation \uab12 (i.e. a leading backslash and precisely four hex digits after the 'u' ).
This notation can be used in strings or anywhere in the program like the Java parser does.
Strings may be concatenated with "+". For example:
Multi-line strings
Regular strings in Groovy cannot span multiple lines.
As an exception to this rule, a backslash at the end of a line disappears and joins the current line with the next.
If you have a block of text which you wish to use but don't want to have to encode it all (e.g. if its a block of HTML or something) then you can use the """ syntax.
Because of the leading backslash, the string
text contains exactly two newlines. There are always represented by the character
'\n', regardless of the line-termination conventions of the host system.
It is also possible to use triple single quotes for multi-line strings, but they are not GStrings, so interpolating variables doesn't work in that case.
Slashy String literals
It is possible to use the another notation for String literals with the added benefit of not needing additional backslashes to escape special characters. That is especially handy with regular expressions or Windows file/directory path names.
The only escape that is supported in a slashy string is to use
\/ to embed a slash into the string. A consequence of this is that you can't have a backslash as the last character of a slashy string directly (or Groovy will think you are trying to escape the closing string terminator - and hence won't think you have terminated your string). Instead use:
def bs = '\\\\'; def winpath=/C:\windows\system32$bs/ or
def winpath=/C:\windows\system32\${}/.
Another gotcha: don't try using an empty slashy string:
def x = //, the slashes will be treated as a line comment delimiter, but
def z = /${}/ would be fine.
A final gotcha: currently a slashy string can't be the left hand side (LHS) expression of an
assert statement while you are eliminating the brackets, e.g.:
This is a feature of the current grammar rather than a desired goal and may one day be altered to remove this anomoly - it is a tricky edge case in the grammar.
Strings are immutable
This can be seen with these two code snips, which you can cut and paste into groovyConsole:
Above both variables are references to the map.
If you do the same thing with Strings, the behavior is different:
Here, sn and st point at the very same map object in memory in the first example, while in the second snippet, at the end, st points at a different place in memory where there's the new immutable string.
Strings that are declared inside double-quotes (i.e. either single double-quotes or triple double-quotes for multi-line strings) can contain arbitrary expressions inside them as shown above using the ${expression} syntax in a similar way to JSP EL, Velocity and Jexl. Any valid Groovy expression can be enclosed in the ${...} including method calls etc. GStrings are defined the same way as normal Strings would be created in Java. Here is a simple example involving a simple variable and an expression:
What actually happens is whenever a string expression contains a ${...} expression then rather than a normal java.lang.String instance, a GString object is created which contains the text and values used inside the String.
GString can involve lazy evaluation so it's not until the toString() method is invoked that the GString is evaluated. This lazy evaluation is useful for things like logging as it allows the calculation of the string, the calls to toString() on the values, and the concatenation of the different strings to be done lazily if at all. Here is an example that illustrates lazy evaluation:
which outputs the following:
Thu Apr 17 23:18:17 EST 2008 It is currently Thu Apr 17 23:18:17 EST 2008 It is currently Thu Apr 17 23:18:22 EST 2008
To explain this output, we need to understand additional rules about GStrings. Each value in the GString (where $ appears) is the result of an expression. Most often, it's an expression that results in an Object, as in all the examples above except for the case of the variable
y in which the expression is a Closure.
Only when the GString is converted into a String (as for println) is the expression's result converted and incorporated into the result String. Each of the values to be substituted into the GString is obtained by applying one of the following methods:
- General Object instances are converted by the toString() method; there is special handling for types like array, Stream, Collection, etc.
- Closure instances taking 0 parameters are called and the returned value is converted to String by the same rules as for a general Object (a returned Closure will not be called).
- Closure instances taking 1 parameter are called with a Writer as the parameter; characters written to the Writer become part of the String result. The return from the Closure is ignored.
- Closure instances taking more than 1 parameter are not called; the GString throws GroovyRuntimeException.
So, in the example above,
x contains an instance of Date resulting from
new Date() being invoked at the time
x was assigned. When we print
x later, that calculated value is placed in the appropriate place in the GString and output giving us the date at GString definition time. The other GString,
y, contains a 1 parameter closure which means that the closure will be stored away in the GString. When we print out y, the closure will be invoked and give the date at printing time.
GString Use Cases - Templating
GString is pretty handy when you don't want to use a template engine, or when you really want full lazy evaluation of GStrings. When some variable embedded in a GString, the toString() is called on that variable to get a string representation, and it's inserted into the final string. But when it's closures you embed, we don't call the toString() on closure. If that was the case, you'd get a string like "Script7$_run_closure1@8dc50e" embedded in your final string.
Instead, we distinguish two use cases:
- a closure with no parameter, i.e.
{ -> }
- a closure with one parameter.
And the expected behaviors:
- For a closure with no parameter, Groovy calls the closure without parameter, and calls toString() on the result.
- For a closure with one parameter, the parameter is actually a StringWriter to which you can append text in the body of your closure.
- For a closure with more parameters, an exception will be thrown.
I'm executed Executed with a class java.io.StringWriter parameter no param - one param
The embedded closure could be used in a nested manner:
how deep is deep? deeper and deepest how deep is deep? deeper and deepest
GString Use Cases - GSQL
Another use case for GString is GSQL where parameters can be passed into SQL statements using this same mechanism which makes for a neat way to integrate Groovy with other languages like SQL. GroovySql then converts the expressions to ? and uses a JDBC PreparedStatement and passes the values in, preserving their types.
If you explicitly want to coerce the GString to a String you can use the toString() method. Groovy can also automatically coerce GStrings into Strings for you.
String and StringBuffer Methods
See: JN1525-Strings.

The following example passes the test:
and outputs:
item: "bread"
item: "apple"
item: "egg"

I lost my Echo Star Katana on #9. I don't normally throw it there but thought I'd try it out and it turned the corner pretty well but maybe a bit soon and I couldn't find it. It should be on the right side around the corner but there's an outside chance it could have hit and rolled across the fairway. It's a cranberry color--not quite purple, but not quite maroon.
The one that is more disappointing is my Star Boss, which I lost on #17, and I don't know how. I clipped a tree on the right side of the fairway and I saw it drop and roll across the fairway into the weeds, but I couldn't find it after searching for over 1/2 an hour. It should be before the hump. I honestly thought it should be around that downed Jesus tree, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It's orange with a jack-o'-lantern looking stamp on it, and it's my main driver (and now 3rd Boss abandoned in the weeds somewhere on that course.)

Big Download's News Bits & Bytes - January 19
It's never a good thing when a large game developer shuts its doors and two of them effectively did that today. We feel that the (almost) shut down of Bizarre Creations really hurts as we don't think its owner Activision gave it much of a chance.
- Steam is now selling the previously released A.R.E.S. The Extiction Agenda but with two Steam exclusive outfits and a week-long 10 percent discount.
- Steam has also added the adventure game Drawn The Painted Tower.
- Steam also has a new automatic update for Team Fortress 2.
- Impulse now has the Baldur's Gate games, the Icewind Dale games and the first Neverwinter Nights game available for purchase and download.
- People who pre-order the just announced IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover via Ubisoft's web site will get Silent Hunter III for free.
- It's a World of Warcraft-themed bathroom. Really.
- Apparently any game can be made pornographic, even The Secret of Monkey Island.

Far West J3 racers faced a challenging giant slalom course on hard-pack snow on the Flume run at Diamond Peak this past weekend.
The three-day race was the second of three in the Wild West Series, which is used to determine which of the young racers will qualify for the Junior Olympics. Although the giant slalom qualifier race was originally slated to be held at Squaw Valley, a last-minute change of venue landed it at Diamond Peak.
The Diamond Peak Ski Team J3 racers fared well on the technically challenging GS course, bringing home several top 15 finishes.
For the women, second-year J3 Lauren Keller led the pack, making it to the podium with a third-place finish on Friday and following up with a sixth-place finish on Sunday.
First-year J3 racer Amanda Pretti put down two impressive finishes with an 11th place on Saturday and a 12th on Sunday, while teammate and fellow first-year J3 Erica Kennedy brought in a 15th-place finish on Friday.
The Diamond Peak J3 racers used the weekend to build on their solid performance from the first race weekend in the series, which was a slalom held at Sugar Bowl from Jan. 13-15. In the slalom qualifiers, Keller (2nd, 3rd, 5th), Annika Hansen (5th, 8th, 9th), Pretti (6th, 9th, 13th), Kennedy (12th) and Connor Novak (13th) all made steady progress in their quest for the Junior Olympics.
The third and final weekend of JO qualifying races is a super G series to be held at Mammoth Mountain from Feb. 24-26.
The full race results can be found at www.fwskiing.us/Competition/Results/J3.htm. Action photos from the race are available at zflow.smugmug.com.

Not only is the site perfectly legitimate, but the exotic Fruit club I ordered the first time around was/is absolutely juicy mangosteen. Actually, the pictures didn't do it justice. The mangosteen taste amazing.
And on top of this, the customer service was great!!!! I was pleasantly surprised to receive a thank you card, and to see my Exotic Fruits shipped in a beautiful box...so now, I not only want to eat fruits as a keepsake, but the phone number as well.

What is it? a foam and gel cushion that can be used in your home, office or car
What does it claim? to make every chair more comfortable
Who tested it? Leah Petteway, a busy receptionist who spends a lot of time sitting at her job
What Are The Instructions ? There really isn't anything difficult to using this product. Just choose the seat where you want a cushion and place the Forever Comfy Combination Cushion in it. If you want your seat to be warmer, place the cushion with the fleece side facing up.
Be warned if you are wearing black pants and sit on the fleece side, you may end up with fuzz on your slacks.
The cushion can be moved from seat to seat and can even be used in your car.
Did it work? Petteway found the cushion to be very comfortable. At just under five feet tall, the height of the cushion made it difficult for her feet to touch the floor in her regular seat. That said, she still gave it a thumbs up. She likes that it can be moved from seat to seat. She really thought it would be great in her car and that the fleece side of the cushion would be nice and warm to sit on during the cold winter months.

Women's Soccer's Rich Stoneman Named Head Coach of Fredericksburg Impact for Summer 2013
December 5, 2012
FREDERICKSBURG, V.A. - The Fredericksburg Area Soccer Association is proud to announce Rich Stoneman as the new head coach of the Fredericksburg Impact for the 2013 USL W-League season. An assistant coach with the women's soccer team at Pfeiffer University in Misenheimer, N.C., Stoneman carries an impressive resume with a long history of elite player development as he prepares to lead a W-League side for the first time. He succeeds the departing Jen Woodie, the Impact's first-ever head coach.
"We're delighted to welcome Coach Stoneman to our club," said FASA General Manager Pete Cinalli, who will continue to serve as the Impact's assistant coach. "Our W-League program has made dramatic strides over its first two seasons of existence and he is the perfect person to lead the Impact to the next level.
"FASA is also very thankful to Jen Woodie for her instrumental role in leading the team over the past two years."
Over a lengthy coaching career including stints at East Carolina University, Louisiana Tech, Baylor University, national youth powerhouse Dallas Texans SC and the North Texas Olympic Development Program, Stoneman has helped dozens of players prepare to compete at the next level, whether it be college, professional or international play.
"I'm very excited - when this opportunity came up, it was one I really wanted to take," said Stoneman. "To be able to work with Pete and FASA is a great opportunity for me and my career, and I look forward to helping better the team.
"I've had a lot of experience in the college ranks, helped players turn pro on both the men's and women's side, and have helped others play overseas as well."
Stoneman was a standout during his own NCAA career at Oklahoma Christian University, and subsequently played professionally in Major League Soccer and USL, then known as the USISL. He holds an NSCAA Level II Goalkeeping Diploma, an Advanced National Diploma, National A and B licenses from the U.S. Soccer Federation, an English F.A. Premier Badge and an NSCAA Premier Diploma. Both Pfeiffer and East Carolina allowed an average of less than one goal a game under his tutelage.
Having recruited several FASA products to Pfeiffer and East Carolina, Stoneman is already familiar with the club and a homestay is being arranged so that he can live in the community during the W-League season, which runs from May through July.
He will look to maintain the Impact's steady improvement in the W-League's Atlantic division, where Fredericksburg finished in third place last season with a 6-4-2 record after a 2-7-1 mark in their inaugural 2011 campaign. The Impact also won the 2012 Commonwealth Cup, awarded to the top W-League team in the state of Virginia, and narrowly missed out on a playoff berth.
"FASA does a great job of preparing their players for the next level. They're good, hard-working players," said Stoneman, who is eager to work with the Impact's college-age talent as well as those who have completed their NCAA careers.
"The players that graduated are going to come in and contribute right away, and those that are still in college know they're going to get a lot of experience, a lot of exposure to playing at the next level, and that's going to benefit them when they return to their college teams."
Stoneman and his staff have already begun preparing for the coming season and will a nnounce player signings in the coming weeks. The Impact's 2013 schedule will be released early in the new year; check the team's website, www.fasaimpact.com, for more information.

Just started the game, should I regret it?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I don't mind having to quit everything to get better at the game, but as I can see for now, must I have to learn one big endless combo to win my fights?
I mean, there doesn't seem to be any other tactics in the game except to learn a ridiculously long combo (or maybe two) and repeat. What am I missing with my beginner's eyes?
Thanks for the tips!
Just learn how to play like a pelican and win
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general -Mark Rippetoe
Now playing: UMvC3, Dark Souls
For starters, yes... you will need to know ridiculously long combos. As far as tactics are concerned, youll need to learn about five pages of basic ones before dealing with the encyclopedia or matchup based ones.
This game has a library of tactics way beyond just doing combos. If you really want to give this game a shot, buy the guide or start reading up on shoryuken forums once youve picked your team. Also check out the team building guide by Karsticles on here, its a brilliant primer.
Only regret getting this game if you have no friends at home to compete against or you do not plan on spending ALOT of time learning how to not suck.
What your missing is actually starting those stupidly long combos. You could show me the longest and flashiest combo that can kill Thor, but until you show me a practical way of landing it in a match consistently, it's BS.
First off, you should tell us what your team is.

Sorry, doesn't have a team yet. What I actually wondered was if long combos mostly were the core of the game, or if there's other ways to win?
I don't really regret the game, and I know I have to learn much more, but I don't know where to start from, since online is a nightmare for me now. :)
Thanks for the tips guys, now I'm just watching evo 2012 and try to analyse the good players.

You'll be regret if you drop combo. So I suggest that you need more practice with your three choosing characters in your team. Don't drop combo or mess it up. Try creating your combo on the ground or air. OTG is your solution with OTG assist types (Wesker, Shuma, Hulk, and few).
Learn, adapt, and be a good fighting gamer.

Put Taskmaster on anchor and you'll do fine and shield skills away
You don't NEED long combos. What you need are combos that are do at least half a character's life bar worth of damage and the skill to be able to start those combos.
If you have never played MVC before, good. Luck. To learn movement and stuff I'd say find someone on here who can play with you and talk to you on the mic. You can plan arcade mode, but it's not recommended.
Think up characters and look up bread and butter combo videos online. Until you become accustomed to this game, I would stay away from characters like Doom, Viper, Morrigan, Magneto and Storm to name a few.
SO essentially pick a team, look up bnb combo videos online. Practice those combos in the training room, then play with someone you know or someone from here to try to get better.
Psn: zslayer89
I will give you the following advice. Practice, practice, practice, and once you are done with your bnb combos. Practice some more until you do them without thinking about them. Once you can do your combos well. Go to rank matches. Prepare to lose, a lot. After hours playing online. You will learn the game mechanics, cheap moves, character behaviors and so forth.
Good luck and practice. Or you just go and play street fighter x tekken. Last i heard it was dead, so no real competition there or play skull girls.

Full installation in 5 steps
Step 1 - Create database
Apache Derby is embedded by default with Sonar. It does not need any installation. It's great for demos and tests but we advice you to use a robust database for real use. The following are currently supported : MySQL 5.x, Oracle 10g XE, SQL Server 2005. It may work on other versions.
We recommend to create an UTF-8 database named 'sonar' accessed by a specific user 'sonar'. Here is an example with MySQL :
Tables and indexes are automatically created when browsing the first time to the homepage (see step 3).
Step 2 - Install server
Download and unzip the distribution.
Step 3 - Configure database
If you do not use the default embedded database, edit conf/sonar.properties to configure the database access. Templates are available for MySQL and Oracle. Just uncomment them and comment the first four lines dedicated to derby.
* sonar.jdbc.url : the URL of the database
* sonar.jdbc.driver : the class of the driver
* sonar.jdbc.user : the username (default is 'sonar')
* sonar.jdbc.password : the password (default is 'sonar')
Example for MySQL :
For commercial databases, copy the JDBC driver to /extensions/jdbc-driver/[YOUR DATABASE]/. MySql and jTDS for SqlServer drivers are already provided.
Step 4 - Start server
Mode 1 - Start the standalone application
The default listen port is 9000 and the context path is /, so the web server listens to http://localhost:9000. Parameters can be changed into the file conf/sonar.properties. Here is an example to listen to http://localhost:80/sonar :
Execute the following script to start the server :
- on linux/mac : bin/[YOUR PLATEFORM]/sonar.sh start
- on windows : bin/windows-x86-32/StartSonar.bat
Note that you can also run as a NT service with bin/windows-x86-32/InstallNTService.bat then bin/windows-x86-32/StartNTService.bat
You can now browse to http://localhost:9000 and follow setup instructions.
Mode 2 - Deploy on application server
See below, the section Deploy on Application Server
Step 5 - Configure Maven2
Sonar uses a Maven2 plugin to analyze sources and to inject measures into the database. That's why database properties must be defined into the Maven2 configuration. Edit settings.xml file, located into $MAVEN_HOME/conf or ~/.m2, and add the four parameters from step 2.
If data collection and server are on different boxes, set the server host with the property 'sonar.host.url'.
Example :
We recommend to increase the Java heap memory. It avoids getting OutOfMemoryError failures. Set the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable :
Run as a service
MS Windows
Install/uninstall NT service :
Start/stop the service :
The following has been tested on Ubuntu 8.10.
Create the file /etc/init.d/sonar with this content :
Register Sonar at boot time :
Deploy on application server
Sonar can be packaged as a WAR then deployed into an existing J2EE application server. To use this method of installation, you must already know how to deploy a web application on the application server of choice.
Supported servers
The only supported server is Tomcat 5.x.
Potentially compatible servers
The following application servers are not supported but have been tested by users :
Sonar version
Tomcat 6.x
1.4, 1.5
Jonas 4
1.4, 1.5
Glassfish 2
Glassfish 3 Prelude
Steps are :
- edit conf/sonar.properties as described in standalone mode. The file conf/wrapper.conf is never used when deploying to application server.
- execute the script build-war.sh (or build-war.bat on MS Windows) from the directory war/
- deploy war/sonar.war to the application server
- browse to http://localhost/sonar and follow setup instructions
Tomcat notes
To increase memory heap size, set the CATALINA_OPTS variable before starting Tomcat :
Jonas 4 notes
Edit conf/sonar.properties and uncomment the following property :
Glassfish 3 Prelude notes
To increase memory heap size, browse to the administration console (http://localhost:4848 by default) and go to Application server -> JVM Settings -> JVM Options. Add the properties :

Thread: my thoughts of Clive Christian
I got some sniff samples of Clive Christian's colognes. I applied a bit to my skin, the little that was on there mind you and these are my opinions. 1872 for men, smells like butter on my skin and very little much else so far not impressed. No. 1 for men very powdery floral, reminds me prada amber, burberry brit or the dreamer for some reason, smells a bit fem to be honest but I kind of like this one. To give it credit it is not that bad if you want to smell Austin Powers putting on baby powder, it has a sweetness to it too so it is like a powdered floral, sugar baby powder type of smell. Interesting smell, probably not worth the price tag at least in my eyes. X for men, on me it is subtle, it smells like angel men on a starvation diet. Very light and toned down. These are my first impressions of the company, it is interesting to try such an expensive cologne company, but I think that it goes to show , more expensive does not necessarily mean better.
My thought about Clive Christian is, that he should have not discontinued the fantastic Crown Perfumery fragrance-line. There is something disgusting in this nouveau rich brand of his. Fortunately his fragrances - while good - are not even close to being worth the silly prices.
Czech & Speake? Fragrance doesn't get much better than vintage versions of No. 88 and Dark Rose. Oxford & Cambridge is my top 3 lavender, same applies to their Neroli. I also appreciate Frankincense & Myrrh and Cuba alot. Fantastic house.

Clive Christian objective with fragrances is really simple. Make the supposedly most expensive perfume. No.1 smelt like a subtle less complex cross between amouage gold and amouage reflection. The other two were hardly memorable for me.
My thoughts is that it is so ridiculously overpriced, I would never even bother trying it personally. I can't see even remotely liking it enough to pay that kind of price multiple. Even if it WAS the greatest line I ever smelled, I wouldn't shell out the cash for it.
My suspicion that no matter how good it is, people most likely buy it for the $ spending prestige, than it's superiority to other fragrances
The fact that the BOTTLE says, "The World's Most Expensive Perfume" leads me to believe their products lack the class of the World's BEST perfumes.
If one wanted to sample the masculines, where would one start? C, X, No.1, or 1872?
(I know the story about the Crown Perfumery bottle that was used for the women's scents. )
As Crown Perfumery started from a corset-maker who made smelling salts, the prices of these scents might make one a bit faint.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I would suggest No. 1 knowing you a bit. It is a very floral masculine that is quite modern "dandy," and IMO requires sartorial support. Almost formal, and while it may not be worth that price, it DOES smell expensive.
1872 I can't wrap my nose around at all...don't know what to say about it. I couldn't tell you what it smells like. Sort of their "gourmand" I gather.
X is dark, spicey and sultry. Heavy cardamom and cinnamon.
C is quite a lot like TF Tuscan Leather. Fans of it will defend as better quality and more refined, nuanced.

No.1 pure parfum is their very best IMO.
I have a bottle of Clive Christian X for men, TO be very honest I find the cardomon scent too intense, smells like an Indian kitchen to me.

Good to know, thanks for sharing, I always wanted to sample this fragrance house's scents
I Love the fragrances.....just way too costly for me!!!
Never tried, but they would have to litteraly blow my mind in order for me to spend that kind of money for a fragrance with a hideous flacon I would have to hide.
These scents have a pretty meek following here and elsewhere, considering their controversial prices. No smoke, no fire?
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Sampled several of their scents a while back, and while they were pleasant, none were worth their absurd price tag.
Primrose- I would start with X for men .I really liked it.
The price point is horrendous to me though especially No.1 . They are quality scents but the pricing puts me off.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I sampled several also while they were interesting, the absurd pricing was way more for the bottle and boxes. I don't need to spend $800 on an ok scent in a nice bottle.
I have owned both No. 1 and 1872 and while I do find the fragrances to be rich and luxe, if I had bought them my expectation would be higher....but as they were free I thought them to be very nice....I gave No. 1 away to a friend who really loved it ( I did not) and I kept 1872 as I LOVE petitgrain in almost any fragrance.....
A bottle parading that it's the world's most expensive perfume is beyond tacky and tasteless, and says alot about the company and its potential customers.
I think C for Men is outstanding, but would never pay full retail.
I agree with this. Printing THE MOST EXPENSIVE PERFUME IN THE WORLD on the bottle is hideously tacky.
Having said that, I did pick up a bottle of X. I love Geza Schoen's compositions, and X is unlike anything else I own.
(Thankfully, X does not say that on the bottle.)

I might try that out. I see it sells at Nordstrom, NM, Saks in stores or online for all 3. Really how exclusive is it?
Apparently he is also responsible for some Ormonde Jayne scents, but I am entirely unfamiliar with their line.

Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday January, 23
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday January, 23
Jeff Scott Sports
New Mexico State/ Denver Over 114.5: (Added) Ok here we have a Denver team, who's games average 118.1 ppg and on the other side we have a New Mexico State team, who's games have averaged 132.6 ppg on the year. Both of those numbers are higher than tonight's total and if we middle them we get a total of 125.3 ppg. Denver comes in allowing 48.8 ppg in their last 5 games, but none of those teams were good offensive teams, like the one they will face tonight. The Aggies have averaged 72.9 ppg and have shot an impressive 51.9% at home on the year. I do not see them being held in the 50's in this one. At home the Aggies have allowed just 58.3 ppg and Denver scores just 57 ppg on the road, but I feel that Denver can reach the 60's as well. Denver's offense has picked up of late as they have averaged 67 ppg on 51.1% shooting in their last 5 games, while the Aggies have allowed 64.9 ppg (regulation) in their last 8 games overall. Clearly I expect both teams to hit the 60's here as this game puts up at least 125 points.
Washington State +11 over OREGON: In their first 5 conference games the Ducks have taken on OSU, both Arizona squads (at home) and USC and UCLA on the road. Yes they won all 5, but now must come home and face a lowly Washington State squad that is just 1-4 in the conference. I smell a letdown here. I just can't see Oregon getting too excited about this one, especially with Washington on deck. WSU is just 1-4 in the conference, but just one of those losses were by double digits and they have been outscored by just 5.6 ppg in Pac-12 play this year. This really looks like a flat spot for Oregon and that should allow the Cougars to keep this one i single digits.
Duke/ Miami Over 130: Would have been nice to get this a bit earlier at 128, but I still expect 135+ points in this one. Miami's ACC games have averaged just 114.5 ppg, but a closer look shows that 3 of those games were vs BC, Maryland and Georgia Tech, which are 3 of the slowest paced teams in the conference. They did have a game vs Carolina, in which just 127 points were scored, but that is an inconsistent Carolina squad and not the same as in years past. Duke is one of the better teams in the ACC and their offense has been solid all year, averaging 78.7 ppg overall and 76 ppg on the road, while not being held to less than 67 points all year. Duke's defense has been solid this year, but mostly at home as they allowed 84 points in their lone true road game and have allowed 67 ppg in ALL games away from home this year. Miami should also hit the 65 point mark here, as they come in averaging 73 ppg on their home floor. Miami games have gone 0-10-1 to the under this year, but feel that ends tonight as his game hits at least 135 points.
Florida/ Georgia Over 120: The Over is 8-1-1 the last 10 in this series. Earlier when these teams met there were 121 points scored and i feel we can get a few more out of this one. The Gators are playing at such a high level right now especially defensively, but still they do allow 53.8 ppg on the road this year and just 2 of their last 10 games put up less than 120 points and one of those was 119 vs FSU. Florida allowed Georgia just 44 points in the first meeting, but the Bulldogs have scored 63.3 ppg in their 3 games since that game and they have averaged 63.6 ppg at home. Have to believe that the Dawgs can notch 53 or 54 in this in this one. That would be golden cause I really don't see Florida scoring less than 70 in this one. Florida put up 77 points in the first meeting and they average 71.8 ppg on the road, plus they will be taking on a Bulldog tea that has allowed 72 points or more in 4 of their last 6 games and 3 of their last 4 vs the SEC. I clearly expect 125+ points to be scored in this one.

Steve Merril
Washington vs. Utah
Pick: Washington
We'll take the points with the confident underdog as they take this game right down to the wire.
Washington is playing terrific basketball right now; the Wizards have won five of their last seven games and they've also covered the pointspread in eleven of their last fourteen ballgames. John Wall's presence on the court just makes this team a whole lot better; he returned for the Wizards 93-83 win over Atlanta last Saturday night. Washington also has defensive stopper Trevor Ariza and Nene back on the court which makes them a complete team on both ends of the court. "It completely changes the dynamics of this team," Martell Webster said. Washington is 2-2 SU on their current 5-game road trip, but their two losses have come by a combined 8 points.
Utah is also playing well right now; the Jazz have won 3 consecutive games and five of their last six games overall. But their momentum has been interrupted since they've had a full three days off since playing their last game. While the rest is nice, it's also a negative when a team is in good rhythm which Utah was in. The Jazz also have a bigger game on deck in Los Angeles against the Lakers so they may be peeking ahead a bit to that game. We'll take the points with the confident underdog as they take this game right down to the wire.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday January, 23
Jesse Schule
L.A. Lakers vs. Memphis
Pick: Memphis
Now an UNBELIEVABLE 13-1 with complimentary hoops plays in 2013! I will test that record with another FREE play on the Grizz tonight. The Lakers will come into Memphis tonight with a 5-14 record on the road this season, taking on the best defensive team in the NBA.
The Grizz boast an impressive home record of 15-6 in Memphis, but they have lost two of their last three at home. One of those losses was against the Clippers, and the other was an 82-81 loss to Indiana.
L.A. has lost six straight road games, and it seems almost mind-boggling that they are only a slight underdog here in this game. The Grizz have won and covered in each of the last two meetings with L.A. The Lakers haven't been a good bet when they have played the Grizz in recent seasons, with a record of 6-13 ATS in their last 19 meetings.
The Lakers are 1-10 against teams with a winning record away from home this year, yet they are getting just a couple of points against one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
Dwight Howard is already starting to speak out, saying he isn't happy in L.A., this is something we have heard before from Howard, who cried like a baby because he wanted out of Orlando for the past two seasons. Kobe is starting to question his teammates as well as his coach, saying: "We're going to have to look at some things," he said. "We're going to have to change something. Probably going to have to post the ball a lot more, slow the game down a lot more. That's just my intuition, but that's my gut right now."
The bottom line is, the Lakers simply aren't a good team, and yet the public is still backing them. They are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall, and I think they are going to continue to struggle in Memphis tonight.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday January, 23
Kyle Hunter
South Florida +5½
The South Florida Bulls are good at staying in the game because of their style of play. South Florida slows the game down in a big way, and the Bulls play very good defense as well. Seton Hall is a young team and I don't expect them to handle the defensive pressure from USF very well. I'll take the points with the more experienced and better defensive team here. Take USF.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday January, 23
Charlie Scott
Colorado State vs. New Mexico
Play: New Mexico
Time to come back to reallity for Colorado St players and fans. Colorado St is coming off One of their biggest wins ever, a 66-61 win vs UNLV at Moby arena Saturday. Meanwhile New Mexico has had a week off to prepare and rest. New Mexico's Home Court (Pit) will be loud and as Rebel fans know, the Pit Home court advantage isn't just about the noice level, but always seems to brings some "Home Cooking" calls from the officials.

Men's Soccer Falls in 80th Minute against #18 Francis Marion
September 6, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The 18th-ranked Francis Marion Patriots had the advantage of the tallest guy on the field Sunday afternoon and made it paid off. Senior Kyle Clinton (Safety Harbor, FL) standing at 64, headed home the lone goal of the match in the 80th minute as the Patriots defeated the Pfeiffer Falcons 1-0 at N.E. Lefko Field. Francis Marion improves to 3-1 with the win while the Falcons drop to the .500 mark at 2-2.
In a scoreless first half of play, both teams had ample opportunities to find the back of the net and take an early advantage. The Falcons had the most chances in the opening period as Alex Landim (Brockton, MA) and Johannes Tisell (Molndal, SWEDEN) each sent shots to the net within five seconds of one another only to have both knocked down by Patriots goalkeeper Clark Richeson (Mansfield, TX). Francis Marions scoring chances came late in the period with Adrian Sikorski (Inglewood, ONTARIO) firing wide left and Chris Foltanski (Long Valley, NJ) blasting a shot wide right.
In the second half, Sikorski would send another shot on goal only to have it rejected by Falcons keeper Alex Moreno (Huntersville, NC). Richeson would turn away another quality opportunity for the Falcons on a shot by Renato Barbosa (Charlotte, NC) to keep the match at a scoreless draw. From the right-side of the field on a corner kick, Sikorski (Inglewood, ONTARIO) would pick up the helper as Clinton connected on the header finding the left post for his fourth goal of the season.
The Falcons outshot Francis Marion 14-10 on the afternoon and held the 8-7 advantage in corner kick opportunities but were never able to beat Richeson in goal. Richeson stopped nine shots for the shutout while Moreno knocked away four.

The Rebels got their first win over South African opposition.
The Rebels got a late penalty try to beat the Stormers in an entertaining match in Melbourne. The Rebels won 30 – 21 after being behind at half time, 13 – 14.
The Stormers will feel hard done by as the Rebels were awarded a penalty try for a player being held back. The TMO rules that a try would have been scored if the player was not held back, and the try was awarded. What the TMO missed though, is that the ball was knocked forward by a Rebel hand, which would rule out a try.
That being said, the Rebels played good attacking rugby and were never completely out of the match. The Stormers score three well worked tries, but only played at full tilt for periods of the match. A few penalties turned down by captain Jean de Villiers could have been the difference at the end of the match.
The Rebels got off to a flyer early in the match, racing to a ten point lead before the Stormers scored twice to take the lead back. A late first half penalty had the Rebels within a point at the break.
The second half saw two early tries by Bekker and Pyle, keeping the scores close, but it was the penalty try and subsequent penalty that took the match away from the Stormers.
The Stormers will be happy to head home after a disastrous tour, but will take some positives out of the match. Having both Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth in the second row puts their line-outs miles ahead of any other team. Elton Jantjies also made a positive come back from injury, looking the best he has been all year.
The Stormers head home to face the Reds while the Rebels next host the Waratahs in Melbourne.

Just like the favorite cowboy hat that we found out the we were wearing backwards, heart rate monitors can be used incorrectly and we may not even notice.
There is almost a guarantee that a heart rate monitor will stay in the "toy-gadget" unless you learn how to make it accurate and most effective towards your goals.
For you to know how the bang for everyone of your bucks here is a list of the 2 most commonly made mistakes thanks to Matt Fitzgerald at Competitor.com:
Mistake 1.) Using the formula 220-Age to determine your maximum heart rate. We covered this in the last post but it needs to be 205 – (.5 x age). It is important to get one of the most important measurements right.
Mistake 2.) Using a heart rate monitor for interval (short and fast) work outs. You all know what jet lag is, well there is such thing as cardio lag. If the workout is too short your heart rate monitor will say you are in Paris when your heart rate is on New York time. Just like your body when traveling, you monitor needs time to sync with your heart.
Knowing what you do about heart rate monitors and the benefits as well as limitations we should take to heart (no pun intended) what my mother often told me:start savin!- Dont buy something only because it is the cheapest but because it has what you need. If you buy cheap things that is all you can expect from them.
- the inexpensive ones will measure your heart rate but most likely won't include the sensors needed or be compatible with bicycles
- Garmin products allow for a GPS product as well as a heart rate monitor
- the difference for men's and women's heart rate monitors are the colors
- When scrolling through the different monitors they show what other products are compatible but most likely aren't included in the price
- A good question to ask yourself is if it is important to be able to upload your workout information onto you computer. If so you will need to spend a little more.
- Garmin, Suunto and Polar are the ones that have an attachment for your bike
And this we come to the end of our Heart Rate Monitor saga. Thanks for coming by to learn more of what we hope was helpful information. If you cant find info on a topic of your interest please pose the question and we will answer it.
