Whether the process is Agile, Waterfall, or something in between, we help companies find true IT agility and deliver better software in less time with collaborative visualization.
The unspoken reality in IT is that most software projects are late, over budget, or fail to meet business objectives. Billions of dollars are wasted each year fixing or abandoning preventable software failures. Our Collaborative Visualization Framework is designed to help teams become more agile and consistently deliver software on time and on budget across the entire application development portfolio.
Our Collaborative Visualization Framework helps teams integrate rapid prototyping into every stage of the software development lifecycle.
Collaborate globally on application designs, user scenarios, and specifications with iRise Enterprise Visualization Platform.
We partner with each organization to create a tailored plan to drive long-term organizational change.
Even as Design Thinking and Agile development grow in popularity, companies are still challenged to deliver applications with the right functionality and the right user experience to meet business goals. Too many teams still rely on static documents, user stories, wireframes and mockups to drive the development process. We help teams move away from imprecise user stories or heavily documented handoffs to a process based on rapid, collaborative prototyping that engages everyone in the process from the beginning.
Collaborate globally on application designs, user scenarios, and specifications with iRise Enterprise Visualization Platform
iRise Enterprise Visualization Platform is a rapid prototyping and requirements platform designed from the ground up to support secure, global collaboration. Enterprise Visualization Platform lets distributed teams work together on interactive, working simulations of applications without any code. Teams of 5 or 5,000 can co-create, share, review, and refine designs, user scenarios, and specifications from anywhere in the world. With integrations to major ALM platforms and a set of open APIs, the platform can be configured and extended to support the specific needs of any organization.
We partner with each organization to create a tailored plan to drive long-term IT agility.
Change is hard, but we can help. We have worked with many of the most respected companies around the globe – from AT&T to Unilever – to develop a reliable methodology for integrating real-time prototyping into the software development process and scaling it across the organization. Our four-phase adoption methodology is designed to help customers build a self-sustaining visualization capability that delivers dramatically better results on business-critical software initiatives.
Explore and confirm the value of the iRise platform and process on one or more projects.
Define and validate how the iRise Enterprise Visualization Platform fits with people, processes, and technologies to deliver value across the organization.
Prepare, execute and manage an adoption strategy and plan to scale collaborative visualization across the organization.
Establish and operate a center of excellence and community of best practices to sustain the value, fit, and scale of iRise across the organization.
Collaborative visualization is the single best investment teams can make to deliver the right software at the right time
Companies can no longer afford to wait 6, 12, or 18 months to deliver new products and features. To stay competitive teams must now deliver in 30 or 60 day cycles. With collaborative visualization, teams can continuously communicate and collaborate, eliminating waste and accelerating the entire development lifecycle.
Design isn't a veneer that can be applied at the end of the requirements phase. Design is what it does and how it works, and it has to start at the earliest stages of a project. We help teams bring designers, business analysts, developers, product managers, marketers, and end users into the design process from the beginning. Whether you do Agile, Waterfall, or something in between, it's essential that you build design research and user experience design into the process.
With the iRise Enterprise Visualization Platform you can capture requirements and associate them directly to user interface elements. This gives organizations a powerful way to communicate visual, interactive, and functional specifications. You can also generate custom documentation instantly and export user interface code to jumpstart development.
Innovative ideas are inherently uncertain and often go through several iterations to incorporate feedback before they become real. Teams need the ability to quickly collaborate and iterate on application prototypes to explore ideas, test hypotheses, and validate designs before even entering the development cycle. Test more new ideas at a lower cost, discover unexpected insights, and ultimately develop more robust software solutions that truly deliver maximum business value.
Without shared understanding of a common vision, it's impossible to plan and estimate the overall development effort. By collaborating on interactive, working simulations of applications early in the process, teams establish a clear definition of scope, a detailed design, and an accurate set of requirements.
The fundamental principles of Agile have been the foundation of the iRise Platform from the start. However, embracing change, rapid iteration, continuous collaboration and frequent delivery can be challenging on complex projects with globally distributed teams. Instead of using Post-it notes or "prototyping in code," quickly visualize and validate the stories for each Sprint. This increased collaboration brings clarity to the team and has a net effect of improving story estimation and increasing the team's velocity.
Static documents, user stories and wireframes simply can't communicate the user experience, business logic, and intricate interactions of modern applications. Successful teams create realistic simulations of applications that stakeholders can actually use and test before writing a single line of code – even before documenting detailed specifications. Collaborative visualization serves as the central communication platform to drive all phases of the software development lifecycle – from concept to launch.
Collaborative visualization impacts nearly every aspect of the application development process. It's not simply about producing functional prototypes. It's about transforming the how you communicate and collaborate throughout the software lifecycle.
Management can preview early concepts and make informed portfolio prioritization decisions
Product Managers and User Experience Designers validate features and usability up front
Architects and developers see and address technical feasibility early in the process
Project Managers make informed time and resource decisions
Quality Assurance develops test plans and test cases from realistic application prototypes
Develop end user documentation and train personnel prior before development completes
There is always risk when introducing change within an organization. Only 25% of change management initiatives are successful over the long term. That's why we help companies establish a Visualization Center of Excellence (VCoE) to manage the change successfully. A VCoE provides leadership, best practices, research, support and training to ensure a self-sustaining visualization capability over the long term.
Beyond Agile development
Agile development is effective for many teams, but it doesn't necessarily translate into overall IT agility. Quickly responding to opportunities or threats in the market requires more than an Agile development approach. By combining Agile development with collaborative visualization, IT can build a more responsive and innovative organization that doesn't just operate the business, but helps generate real competitive advantage.
Learn how iRise impacted the Agile based software development lifecycle at Emerson Network Power.
Design for usage, not just functionality
The consumerization of IT trend is putting intense pressure on IT to deliver software to employees with the same degree of usability and efficiency they experience with their personal tech. The next generation of IT applications must not only run on multiple devices, but be easy to learn, intuitive, and usable. Collaborative visualization is the best way to validate application designs, test usability with employees and end users, and optimize the user experience before investing in development.
First American CIO Larry Godec on how iRise cut rework by 70% while greatly improving usability.
Develop quality software at top speed
In software, high quality and development speed are inextricably linked. As change requests accumulate, project schedules lengthen and costs increase. Requirements errors are the largest contributor to change requests, and cost to mitigate these errors grow exponentially has projects advance through the lifecycle. By using collaborative visualization, teams can identify and resolve issues early, virtually eliminating requirements-related rework, cutting delivery times in half, and reducing overall application development costs by 20% to 50%.
Willem Eelman, Global CIO of Unilever, talks about how iRise helped Unilever deliver better software faster, while reducing rework by 50% and overall project costs by 20%.

Why does this name still generate respect when it is invoked? Why would the author of such unadulterated drivel still be informing some the greatest moral thinkers of our age? One need not read past book one of his Critique to read a full admission that all of his ideas are bogus. He first attempts to prove the existence of a priori knowledge via the human perceptions of space and time. He offers no further proof, being satisfied to rest upon that. He then postulates without attempting to offer proof that a priori supersedes empirical knowledge. Finally, he states that if you haven't followed him this far you may disregard all that follows and throws in a dig that the only reason you could have for not having followed him is a lack of intellectual capacity.
The problem he has, it that we now know that space and time are actually different dimensions of the same empirical phenomenon and we have studied them empirically with fruitful results. Yet here we stand in the year 2012, and people still pay lip service to a philosophy that had its foundation shattered by Einstein over a century ago.
Kant is irrelevant. He is sophistry founded upon a bad guess and we can never profit an iota by considering a problem through the lens he proposed. I keep my copy of the Critique of Pure Reason in my gym bag where it serves as a spacer between my shoes and the end of the bag to prevent contents from shifting. So long as I never lack for cooking fuel, this the highest use I will ever derive from my ownership of those pages.

GARETH DUNCAN talks to Griquas scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius about his move to the Waratahs, being snubbed by the Springboks and why the Currie Cup format should stay the same.
Tell us about your background.
I was born and bred in Bloemfontein and attended Laerskool and Höerskool Reitz. I went to the U18 Academy Week with the Griffons in 2003 and was then selected for an invitational Central Tigers side that competed at Craven Week. I made the Free State U21 team in 2005. After a televised game against the Leopards, then Valke coach John Williams signed me for the 2006 season. When he left the Valke in 2007, a clause in my contract allowed me to leave too and I made my way to Kimberley to play for Griquas. I also featured for the Royal XV against the British & Irish Lions in 2009, which was the best experience in my career so far. We were leading, but they managed to overtake us in the final 10 minutes of the match.
How do you cope with being one of the smallest players in Super Rugby [1.75m, 75kg]?
It helps that I'm a scrumhalf, so size isn't a major thing. Over the years, I've learnt many tricks and shortcuts that have helped me perform well at Super Rugby level and I've really thrived on attack [Pretorius was joint top try-scorer in 2011 with nine tries], especially at the Cheetahs. The Cheetahs' coaches give the players that attacking freedom, which is why we've managed to score so many great team tries in the past two seasons.
What aspects of your game do you want to work on and improve?
Defence is a bit of a concern [he missed the most tackles in Super Rugby this season]. I'll be putting in a lot of work with my coaches and experts to get that part of my game up to scratch. I've also been working hard on my kicking game.
Why did you decide to join the Waratahs next season?
I've always wanted to play overseas, but I wanted to continue playing Super Rugby too because it's the best competition in the world. So when the Waratahs made me a two-year offer, I saw it as the best step forward for me. The deal started when I came off the bench to play on the wing in the Cheetahs' 23-3 win in Sydney; my agent got a call after that game. It was a difficult decision to leave South Africa, but I'm just spreading my wings to gain some overseas experience. I'm looking forward to playing alongside the likes of Drew Mitchell and Adam Ashley-Cooper. I will still play for the Cheetahs in the Currie Cup over the two years.
How disappointed were you not to be included in the Springbok Tri-Nations squad after you'd made the 51-man World Cup planning squad?
It's human to be disappointed as it's every South African player's dream to play for the Springboks. But obviously the coach has his plan going into the World Cup and I've accepted that I'm not part of it. Should a Bok call-up come my way again, I'll grab it with both hands.
What do you think of the quality of South African scrumhalves and who's the toughest scrumhalf you've faced?
I think the country is blessed with a variety of top-class scrummies. You have Fourie du Preez, who's one of the best No 9s to ever play the game and he still has a lot to offer the Springboks. He's one of my role models, and it will be a big loss when he leaves for Japan at the end of the season. Luckily there are talented youngsters coming through and performing well, like Jano Vermaak and Francois Hougaard. Jano displays the type of attacking game I enjoy playing, while Francois is very physical. The toughest No 9 I've faced is Will Genia, who's probably the top scrumhalf in Super Rugby. He has a great pass and does the basics very well. He adds an extra dimension to his team's attack with quick pace and the ability to snipe a gap.
Should the Kings play Super Rugby in 2013 at the expense of the Cheetahs or Lions?
The Kings need to earn their place in Super Rugby by first qualifying for the Currie Cup Premier Division. At this moment, they're still playing in the First Division, while the Cheetahs and Lions have Super Rugby experience. We saw how the Rebels fared this season, and I think the Kings will struggle just like they did.
Should the Currie Cup Premier Division be cut to six teams?
If this happens it will be difficult for the smaller unions as there'll be four or five teams fighting desperately for that sixth spot for financial reasons. Sponsors want their teams playing in the top flight, so if teams drop down to the First Division, they'll lose major sponsorships and income. And this shouldn't be done on short notice. Saru needs to give all teams at least two years' notice before an important decision like that is made. But why should there be a change? The Currie Cup is running fine the way it is.
What are Griquas' goals for the season?
Obviously the aim of all teams is to win the Currie Cup. But Griquas really struggle with depth as injuries are a formality during the season. A realistic goal is a top-five finish, which is achievable because we had 13 guys playing for the Cheetahs in Super Rugby this season and that experience will help a lot. Last year, we only had about five players in the Cheetahs squad.
How will Griquas cope without former coach Dawie Theron?
Dawie will be a big loss. He played over 100 games for the union and spent a number of years here as a coach. He played a big part in the system that saw the team do well in recent years. But new coach Abré Minnie worked closely with Dawie over the several past campaigns and he'll probably continue to build on to the foundation that Dawie laid. So no progress should be lost.
Does the union struggle with key players, like Zane Kirchner and Bjorn Basson, leaving each season?
This is why eight unions should be competing in the Premier Division of the Currie Cup. It provides players with the platform to get some decent exposure. There's talk of Riaan Viljoen going to Western Province, which will be a good move in his career as he'll improve by playing alongside Springboks. Yes, it will be difficult for Griquas losing a few key players, but they still have a core group of guys in the squad each season and there are talented youngsters who come through the system which keeps them competitive.
How will the Boks do at the World Cup?
They have the players to win the tournament. There's no substitute for experience, and this Bok side has plenty of it.
What are your future plans?
Right now, I'm just focusing on giving my all in my last season at Griquas. I've played my best rugby for them. Then I want to make a success of my time with the Waratahs in Super Rugby and the Cheetahs in the Currie Cup next season. I'm keen on playing in Europe one day, but we'll see what happens when the time comes.

XE Market Analysis
North American Edition2015-05-27 10:40 UTC
EUR-USD settled around 1.0900 after an early London run higher stalled at 1.0919, which seems to be tell-tale price action of bearish market sentiment. Yesterday's low at 1.0863 remains in scope. EU's Junker suggested Greece may be given more time, but, of course, time is not the problem, rather the seemingly intractable differences between Athens and Greece's creditors is. USD-JPY rallied to a fresh eight-year peak of 123.77 during the London AM session ... Read More ►
European Edition2015-05-27 06:34 UTC
The dollar gave back some of its recent gains. EUR-USD has recouped the 1.0900 level during Asian trade after leaving a one-month low at 1.0863 yesterday. The pair has fallen some 4% in seven of the last eight trading days after making a three-month peak 1.1486 on May-15. USD-JPY has dipped back under 123.00 as the dollar corrected after yesterday's surge to an eight-year peak of 123.32 on the nominal price chart. BoJ deputy governor Iwata said today ... Read More ►
Asian Edition2015-05-26 18:54 UTC
U.S. traders came back from the Memorial Day holiday to find the dollar broadly higher, and it was higher still when the session came to an end. Incoming U.S. data was mostly better than expected, which brought Fed Yellen's Friday comments, on the possibility of raising rates at some point this year, back to center stage, lifting the Greenback's fortunes. EUR-USD traded under 1.0870 after peaking near 1.0935 into the open, while USD-JPY made eight-year ... Read More ►

Midwest Living Review
Although Woodstock, Illinois, is the seat of McHenry County government, funky Blues Inspired tie-dye shop touts Woodstock's ties (in name) to the infamous love-in music festival. This store rocks. Tie-dye artists and McHenry County natives Andrew Bykowski and Morgan Raber create all their own funkadylic designs for far-out clothing and wall tapestries hanging about the store lit by black lights. Incense burns, lava lamps bubble and swirly patterned swaths of fabric called "tie-dye tapestries" billow from the ceiling as if in a Kasbah tent. Shoppers browse to the beat of a great 60s and 70s playlist of Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Joe Cocker, Pink Floyd, The Ramones, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Santana and Led Zeppelin.Popular tie-dye T-shirt patterns are the yellow smiley face (or a Cyclops version), peace sign and heart (adult sweatshirt, $30; long sleeved tees, $18; regular T-shirts start, $11.75; and kid $9.75). Andrew's grandma sews the baggy, bell bottom "elephant pants" emblazoned with tornado swirls and bold zigzag stripes. So mom tossed your macrame purse, album collection and favorite band tee? Restock here. Blues Inspired carries all kinds of kitsch, memorabilia and novelties from the sixties and seventies.

Life insurance rates can vary depending on a few factors. One of these important factors has to do with age. Often people will say that it is better to purchase life insurance at an earlier age. People in their 20's sometimes feel that they get a better rate in this age range than those in their 40's or 50's. While this may be true to some degree, your overall health is another important factor. Generally speaking, the older we get the more medical care we need, thus insurance premiums can and do rise.
Buying life or burial insurance at an earlier age can provide you with some benefits you might not have been aware of. For one, you can borrow some of your insurance's cash value to supplement retirement, or even pay for a wedding. Many people are not aware of this potential benefit. The important thing to remember however, is that you must purchase this insurance earlier. For example, if you purchase it in your 20's you can use it to your advantage to help off-set other major life costs.
Health issues are one aspect of age and life insurance rates. As we grow older we tend to experience more health problems. If you wait to purchase life insurance then it will ultimately come at a much steeper price. Between the ages of 49 and 50, life insurance premiums for even a healthy individual can be expensive. Making a decision to buy it earlier will save you money and help you to accrue assets for future endeavors.
Make an educated decision when you decide to purchase life insurance. There are many life insurance companies available, and they all have different plans and rates placed at various price points. If you do your homework you should have no problem deciding if the time is right for you to make that life insurance purchase.

Every South African rugby supporter is a selector. So who is your pick – by the position – and in an ideal world? Today the focus is on loosehead prop.
The boys at SA Rugby Magazine and myself will be picking our ideal Bok XV over the next two weeks.
Every day will be a different position. Check it out and pick your team here. You go into a draw to win two tickets to the Springboks v All Blacks at Ellis Park. Air fares and accommodation included.
It's not about just who is fit at the moment. We want to establish the ideal Fans XV in the build-up to the World Cup.
Who, by weight of public opinion, is the ideal Bok run on XV.
Today I complete my picks with the selection of loosehead prop. Gurthro Steenkamp, when conditioned and operating at maximum, is the best South African loosehead. He was the South African player of the year in 2011 and hasn't recaptured that form since moving to French club Toulouse.
But at his best, he remains the best.
Today the position is hooker and my man is Bismarck du Plessis. I agree with the decision to play Adriaan Strauss now and let Du Plessis be eased back into international rugby. Du Plessis, Strauss and Schalk Brits would be my three hookers in an ideal World Cup squad.
In an ideal starting XV Bismarck, when on form, is the world's best.
On Wednesday the position was tighthead prop and the options, as with most countries outside of Italy and Argentina, are limited. Jannie du Plessis is the best of an unexceptional bunch who wear the No 3 jersey.
Du Plessis has improved over the last five years and he has consistently been the best in South Africa.
On Tuesday the position was No 4 lock
Eben Etzebeth has no equal in South Africa but I'd still involve Toulon-based veteran Bakkies Botha as back-up to the new young superstar. The duo, in a match 23, could do some serious damage. I'd also have no problem playing Eben at No 5 and Bakkies at No 4 if Bekker was not available.
On Monday the position was No 5 lock. My pick is Japan-based former Stormer Andries Bekker.
Sharks young lock Pieter Stef du Toit has the potential to be developed into a No 5 post 2015 and if Bekker is unavailable I'd even look at Eben Etzebeth as a No 5 option and Bakkies Botha to play at 4, but if Bekker is fit he has no equal among South African locks as a No 5. Japan will be good for refreshing his body and his mind. He still has a huge role to play come 2015 and the World Cup challenge.
Last Friday the position is open side flank. And my ideal selection is Cheetahs flank Heinrich Brussow. I'll forever disagree with the Bok coach on this one. He doesn't rate Brussow and believes his game is limited and that he is a penalty liability.
I see the opposite in Brussow. He is an asset. He is the reason for so many teams struggling to get quick phase ball against the Cheetahs, and I can't recall many ordinary Bok performances from Brussow. He is a menace at the breakdown and while Francois Louw has done well in the last year I believe, if given the chance, Brussow would have done even better. He gets my vote. And always will.
On Thursday the position was blindside flanker – and my choice is Toulon-based former Bull Danie Rossouw.
Rossouw offers more over 80 minutes than Willem Alberts and his experience gives him the edge over Arno Botha.
Rossouw underlined his value with his performances for Toulon in their successful European Cup campaign.
On Wednesday the position was No 8.
Duane Vermeulen has done well in his limited international exposure but in my ideal Fans XV I still think overall Pierre Spies offers more. Joe van Niekerk and Danie Rossouw are another two who I consider still good enough to play for the Springboks between now and the 2015 World Cup. For me all of the four mentioned players would be in my Bok World Cup squad.
But only one can start at No 8 – and that man would be Spies, especially with Fourie du Preez there as my scrumhalf.
On Tuesday the position was scrumhalf
Bok coach Heyneke Meyer beat me to it when selecting Japanese-based Fourie du Preez.
The former Bulls man is the best scrumhalf for South Africa's 2015 World Cup challenge. He is the most intelligent reader of the game in South Africa and one of the brightest in world rugby. He is also critical to the development of Johan Goosen at flyhalf.
Du Preez is the best: Invest in him.
On Monday the position was flyhalf..
My ideal No 10 is Johan Goosen.
Morne Steyn has been outstanding in 2013 and would definitely be in my World Cup squad, but the ideal player, if fit, is the Cheetahs flyhalf Goosen.
He adds an attacking dimension that has no equal among the other South African flyhalf contenders. He is the most complete of all the flyhalf contenders. Steyn, should Goosen not be available, is a quality replacement.
Pat Lambie just hasn't done it for me as a flyhalf. He is better suited to fullback or can provide excellent positional cover on the bench.
Last week I selected the outside backs. My choice last Friday of left wing was Bryan Habana still rocks in the national jersey.
Habana had an awful 2011, which was more an issue of fatigue than anything else.
He remains the best South African left wing and is still good enough to challenge the best left wingers in the game.
Habana was outstanding in 2012 and his form was good in 2013. He will benefit from the new challenge of playing for Toulon. The 2015 World Cup will be his international climax and while he doesn't have the electric pace that was so significant in his game in 2007, he is a more complete winger with the additional experience.
No left winger in South Africa has come close to having the same impact in a Bok jersey during the Habana era – and that era still has two seasons to go.
On Thursday I looked at inside centre. My pick is Jean de Villiers.
Jan Serfontein is the future at inside centre and his big World Cup will be in 2019, if he remains injury free, but I feel De Villiers still has one World Cup in him. I also believe he is the best inside centre in South Africa and one of the best in the world.
His experience is invaluable. He commands respect internationally and he has presence. The midfield combination of De Villiers and Fourie would still rank among the most imposing in the game. Factor in Serfontein to come off the bench and you are looking at something special.
De Villiers understands the nuances of Test rugby, just like Tana Umanga did for the All Blacks. The New Zealanders erred in not taking Umanga to the 2007 World Cup. His experience would have been a huge asset and De Villiers can play a similar role in 2015.
The national coach and Stormers management simply have to manage him effectively in the next 18 months. He also captains my team.
On Wednesday I looked at outside centre. There is only one player for me. Jaque Fourie.
He was the best outside centre in the game before he left for Japan and he is good enough to reclaim that position when he returns in 2015 to challenge for a World Cup place.
Fourie is like Wallabies legend George Smith. It doesn't matter that he has been playing in Japan for the last two seasons. It may have added longevity to his career and I could still see him playing a season or two in Europe post the 2015 World Cup.
Fourie is the package deal at No 13. The closest to Fourie in South Africa is JJ Engelbrecht, in terms of power and pace. But Englebrecht doesn't yet have the experience of Fourie and he doesn't have the natural understanding of defensive structures. He is an investment and he will play in the Rugby Championship. But in an ideal Bok XV with an eye on the 2015 World Cup, Fourie is my man.
The right wing position has belonged exclusively to one man since 2006 – and he is JP Pietersen.
The former Sharks winger's only weakness is his line kicking game. It has never been good, but outside of that he offers everything that s good about a world class winger. He is imposing in physique, strong in the tackle and invariably uses the touchline well. He will be at his peak in 2015, given he was just 21 years-old when he won the World Cup in 2007.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones, who assisted Jake White with the Boks in the 2007 World Cup campaign, rated Pietersen the better rugby player over Bryan Habana. Jones said Habana was an outstanding athlete and a very good rugby player but that that as far as wingers go Pietersen was the more complete winger. Jones referred to Pietersen's 'functional intelligence' as one of his qualities as a winger.
Jones said this functional intelligence on a rugby field meant the player read the game well and understood the nuances of wing play. His off the ball contribution was as good as his impact with ball in hand.
My pick on Monday at fullback: Jaco Taute.
I know he is currently injured but I am thinking in terms of having the best available side to win back the World Cup. Who would I play in a World Cup final at Twickenham?
Taute experienced a horror season with the Stormers and got injured early in the season. But a fit Taute would be my choice to start at fullback for the Springboks.
I'd utilise Wille le Roux as an impact player or on the wing as a starting option. Taute, in competitions like the Rugby Championship and end-of-year tours to Europe and the United Kingdom, offers greater solidity and presence at fullback. He has a strong kicking game and his physicality and pace could add a dimension to the potency of the Bok back-three unit.
Taute's skill set complements the likes of Bryan Habana and say Le Roux on the wing, or even a Gio Aplon or Bjorn Basson. But I feel the Boks in their build towards the World Cup, have to invest in Taute more as a fullback than outside centre.
Here's what the boys at SA Rugby Magazine think.
Now let me know what you think.

Bought this to rebuild a bike that was given to me for my first MTB a few years ago. It worked. The bike has since been given away so I can't speak to its longevity.
I didn't expect too much from it so I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't too concerned with weight or durability as I just wanted the bike to work... and it did.
Comments about Falcon HG Freewheel:
Terrible longevity. While cheap, the fact that I had to replace it in less than a year makes this non-recommendable. The Shimano HG22 is with the extra $5.

These are basic, no frill freewheels for older bikes. They work fine and last a long time. They are not flashy, you probably shouldn't race on them but if you have an older bike that you don't want to spend lots of money upgrading they are a good choice. You do need to make sure that that you replace the chain when you replace the freewheels

Reviews (2)
"Love these syringes"
I love the luer lock syringes for giving injections. These make it easy as you don't have to worry about the needle staying in the animal. I keep a variety of sizes handy. Never can have too many syringes when raising livestock.
"A must have"
If you're going to administer medicines to your pets or livestock syringes are a definite must have. Getting multiple sizes is pretty essential too. I like to keep at least 10 of each size on hand. Needles are easy to just screw on and they stay put. In a pinch I have also cut off the tip to dose oral medication as well.
