About The Black Keys
The Black Keys head for the road (Updated 6/5/2014)
If you haven't had a chance to catch the Black Keys in concert this year, you haven't missed your chance. In fact, their entire tour slate is yet to come and the band has already confirmed the addition of even more North American stops this year.
The band is hoofing is around the world in support of "Turn Blue," their latest album which recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was the highest debut yet for the band, whose previous album "El Camino," came in at No. 2 back in 2011. "Turn Blue" was also the Black Keys' highest charting album to date internationally, having bowed at No. 1 in Canada and Australia.
Produced by a couple of huge names, including Danger Mouse, "Turn Blue" contains 11 tracks. It spawned the single "Fever," which went to No. 1 on alternative radio and stayed there for weeks, as well as claiming the top spot on AAA radio for two months. In addition, the project received some hefty critical praise, with NPR music calling it "expansive and irresistibly catchy."
Special guests during the band's upcoming tour will include Jake Bugg, Cage the Elephant and St. Vincent. The latter will provide support for many of the gigs, beginning June 20 in Neuhausen Ob Eck, Germany at the Southside Festival. They'll seemingly conquer the world (playing Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and England) before returning home.
The North American portion of the tour begins September 5 at Columbus, Ohio's Schottenstein Center and runs through December, with dates at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and Nashville's Bridgestone Arena among the highlights.
Update: October 31, 2012 - Tickets fly for The Black Keys 2012 Tour
With continued success, a third LP called "Rubber Factory" was released by The Black Keys in 2004 and was recognized by fans and critics alike as one of the best records of the year. A live DVD followed in 2005, along with the full-length albums, "Chulahoma" and "Magic Potion" in 2006. Two years later came the Danger Mouse-produced "Attack & Release," which was originally planned as a collaboration between the Black Keys and Ike Turner. Turner's death in December 2007 made the pairing impossible, but the album marked the first time The Black Keys completed a project in a professional studio, and also the first time they would work with an outside producer. The Black Keys briefly split in 2009, but reconciled later in the year. Their sixth studio album, "Brothers," was released in May 2010. The lead single, "Tighten Up," would become their most successful single to that point, spending 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Alternative Songs chart and becoming their first single on the Billboard Hot 100. Their popularity exploded from there, so much so that they were Warner Bros. Records' most-licensed band of the year, appeared on NBC's Saturday Night Live and won three of the five categories they were nominated in at the 53rd Grammy Awards. In 2011, the group canceled a string of concerts in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, citing exhaustion. They recorded their seventh album, "El Camino" from March to May, and many publications would rank it among the best albums of the year. A tour in support of the project was the first headlining tour of The Black Keys' career, and they've stormed through Europe and North America, with tickets to their Madison Square Garden concert selling out in just 15 minutes.
Update: December 2nd, 2012 - The Black Keys 2012 Tour Dates Announced for March in the United States
The Story of The Black Keys tickets
The blues duo The Black Keys has a story straight out of Americana that fledgling musicians dream about. Struggling to survive as landscapers, glorified lawnmowers for a low-rent landlord, in Akron, Ohio, vocalist and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney embarked on their first tour in 2001, only hoping to play their tunes and make it back home to resume their landscaping jobs. They haven't held another day job since, and have sold more than 1.7 million records. After their first album, The Big Come Up, released in 2002, The Black Keys thought they might be on to something when the album instantly established their success as an indie, no-frills, soulful blues rock duo. Their sound is stripped down as it gets, a bare vibe of drums and guitar with no effects, and Auerbach's gritty vocals grinding out their retro blues lyrics like Howlin Wolf. The singles 'Leavin' Trunk' and 'She Said, She Said,' both covers received indie radio play, and in a big break, 'I'll Be Your Man' became the theme song for the series Hung on HBO. The duo's second album, Thickfreakness, like the first album, was recorded entirely in Carney's basement. The result is that the songs are forced to stand on their own, and that's the way The Black Keys like it. With The Black Keys tickets you'll see a band on stage that simply plays their music, without any adornments, effects or unnecessary theatrics. Just blues, pure, raw, down and dirty.

Profile in success: Harmonious marketing
In the crowded wash market, capturing the attention and imagination of potential customers seems like an impossible task. It's always a struggle, letting your unique voice be heard over the din of the competition. How can you concisely communicate what you do best? How can you effectively explain what sets your wash apart from the competition?
Many times, successful marketing requires owners to step out of their comfort zone. Sure, it's scary tiptoeing out onto a ledge. It's hard to take a chance and try something you've never considered before — like, maybe, dressing up as different presidents and performing a super-silly carwash rap.
Recently Roger Tanna and his wife, Dipika, unleashed their inner Jay-Z on TV and rapped about their carwash for a decidedly wonky commercial. Now, 356,000 (and counting) views on YouTube and a few television appearances later, the goofy rap has been transformed into genius marketing. And, more importantly, the commercial has brought the wash an incredible increase in business.
The new style
The Presidential Car Wash & Detail Center located in North Hollywood, CA, is a uniquely styled carwash in that it offers full-service washes, express washes and detailing services. Owner Roger Tanna decided on this format while working for another carwash chain.
"While building and managing multiple carwashes for my previous employer, I had tried different models for him," Tanna said. "I [came] to a conclusion that the full-service carwash with an express lane, free vacuums with both express and full-service detailing, was the most desired and profitable in the southern California market."
In addition to the unique design, the carwash also stands out due to the amount of labor it requires. Tanna said he always seeks to provide the maximum level of customer service even though it increases his labor costs. In his experience at other washes, Tanna saw that the owners were too worried about labor percentage to have the proper number of employees on hand.
The employees at the wash also receive thorough training. Tanna said he and the general manger, Gabriel Gutierrez, train new employees on how to interact with customers. They also teach new hires the wash's procedures for vacuuming and wiping cars. Finally, all employees go through Auto Magic detail training and certification. "I take care of my employees, and I always show them they are part of the business," Tanna explained.
Other people's property
When Tanna came to the U.S. 19 years ago, he found his first job in the carwash industry. He noticed a cashier vacancy at a carwash in Upland, CA, and he decided to apply for the position. "Back then it seemed that many people found it disgraceful to work in a carwash, so I felt that it wouldn't be very difficult to move up the ladder," he said. "I really enjoyed working in the industry and decided to learn everything about the carwash business."
The next stop in his early carwash career was Las Vegas. There, Tanna accepted a service advisor job at Terrible Herbst. "I always stayed behind on my own time to learn about maintaining and fixing the equipment. Mr. Jerry Herbst, the owner, later gave me an opportunity to manage some of his carwashes."
After his time with Terrible Herbst, Tanna returned to California. There he worked as a carwash manager for a single-site operator in Agoura Hills who had experience and knowledge in running a gas station and c-store. Tanna used his carwash experience and helped the owner build multiple high-volume carwash sites.
"I worked for him for over ten years and finally realized that he was just using me to build his empire, and he had no intention of giving me all that he had promised," Tanna explained. "So, with the grace of God, I found an opportunity to buy a poorly managed, run-down carwash."
So fresh and so clean
This run-down property would eventually be cleaned up and transformed into the Presidential Car Wash & Detail Center. In the wash's now famous rap commercial, viewers are shown different areas of the wash, and viewers see Tanna and his wife in a number of presidential costumes. The clip also highlights the different packages available at the carwash, and each wash package is named after a former U.S. president.
The commercial, made for the IFC TV show "Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings," was filmed at the wash in late April of this year. Tanna said the show initially sent scouts to the wash to see if they could film at the location. Then, the crew set up and filmed for three days, and they worked six to seven hours each day they were on-site.
Though the commercial has proven to be a marketing boon for the carwash, some aspects of the experience definitely made Tanna uncomfortable. Tanna said he had never listened to rap music before, and he was not completely comfortable when it came to rapping, performing the weird dance moves and sucking up his shirt with a vacuum nozzle.
"At the beginning I was pretty upset because I didn't understand what Rhett and Link were trying to achieve." Even so, Tanna never thought of quitting the process because he said they were having fun while filming. "I feel that the final version was excellent."
It was a good day
The commercial (see Cover Story here) was completed and posted on YouTube in June by Rhett and Link. In addition, IFC aired the "Commercial Kings" episode featuring the carwash multiple times over the summer, and the commercial was even played during a recent appearance by Rhett and Link on Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show.
Tanna said he has received very positive feedback and compliments from people that have seen the commercial. Most importantly, since the commercial was released, business at the wash has increased by 25-30 percent. "We have had many people come with their families from far away to have their pictures taken with us at the carwash," Tanna said.
The wash has also received phone calls and cards from all across the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. "Some said they are proud to have us in this great country, some singing the jingle, some saying 'Make it rain, Roger.' The increase in business, being able to build a brand in such a short time was definitely worth it. This commercial was a blessing."
What's my name?
Before the commercial, Tanna used a number of different marketing methods to advertise the carwash. The business used mailers like Valpak and Money Mailer, and they also advertised using the Tolucan Times and the Burbank Times. Tanna said all of these methods proved very successful.
The carwash also advertised several times using Groupon. Tanna said Groupon brought the wash a lot of new customers, and the website gave the business an online presence without having to hire a SEO company.
Tanna said the carwash's most unsuccessful marketing attempts were working with the Register Tape Network and Register Tape Unlimited. These companies create coupons that print on the back of grocery store receipts. Tanna said they were very inconsistent because nine out of ten times they ran blank register tapes. The companies also made too many printing errors.
The world is yours
Looking towards the future, Tanna said he definitely sees some emerging trends in the carwash industry. "I feel that the full-service carwashes will slowly dissipate and there will be more conversions to express washes," he predicted.
Tanna said the carwash industry has changed a lot over the years, and he admitted that it is sometimes difficult to be a part of the industry. Even so, he still hopes to continue investing in new washes. "Yes, God willing I'd like to buy two more carwashes."

Classic Fit TravelFit Winter-White Faille Pants 3 3
Very, very small I find that Travesmith trousers run small, but these were just tiny. They came with another pair of pants in the same size (supposedly). Both were supposed to be "classic fit." These felt like they were at least two sizes too small, if not more, and the cut was noticeably lower and the rise shorter than the other pair. I have to send them back. It is too bad, because the fabric is very nice, and I need a pair of dressy winter white pants. June 13, 2014
A very elegant nicely tailored pair of slacks. I really love the slacks. The overall fit is great. They do not feel uncomfortable yet they could have about one inch more fabric in the seat area for those seeking a more modest look. November 14, 2013
nice pants, great price I bought 2 pair of these I liked them so much. Quality, lined, great price. Hard to find winter white pants. Maybe slightly smaller than size, but not much. December 10, 2014

Seniors who participate in the lunch program at the Havelock Senior Center are being asked to help pay for some of the cost.
Seniors who eat lunch at the center are being asked for a $1 donation to help pay for the meals.
"We're asking for a donation. We're not charging for it," said A.D. Brady, director of the senior center in Havelock. "If they don't have the money, they still get to eat. We're not going to turn away any senior who needs a meal. If they have a spare dollar, we'll be glad to take it."
Funding for the congregate meals program for the Havelock Senior Center was cut two years ago. Eligible seniors in the area were told they could drive to New Bern to participate in the program. Not wanting to see seniors have to drive to New Bern and miss out on the opportunity for socialization and a meal, organizers at the Havelock center vowed to continue serving free lunches and received donations from various groups to help pay for the meals.
"The Disabled American Veterans gave us a check for $1,000, and that's going to help," Brady said. "It takes $200 a week to pay for the groceries to cook the food."
Brady said the meal program survived for a year on those donations and other contributions, but money is getting harder to come by.
"Our funds are drying up," he said. "We were not funded last year, and we've been running on donations. The Craven County aging board and the county commissioners have decided we're not going to get any money this year, so we are in need of funds. We're going to ask the seniors to bear some of that burden. … Financially, we just need a little assistance right now."
Brady credited volunteers for maintaining the lunch program. He said in the last three months, 10 people have volunteered 623 hours, which at minimum wage represents $4,517.
"If it wasn't for our volunteers, we couldn't run this program," he said. "They do an excellent job of going to purchase the food, prepping the food, cooking the food, serving the food and keeping the place clean."
He said the center serves about 35 meals per day. Lunch is served beginning at noon each weekday at the center.
"A lot of our seniors, if they didn't come here, they wouldn't socialize with anybody at all," Brady said. "They would just be by themselves. They come here, and you can just see how they brighten up at being able to socialize among their peers, and get a nutritious meal and save themselves a little bit of money. Most seniors are on a fixed income."
He said that socialization is an important part of the meals for seniors.
"They start showing up about 30 minutes prior and sit around and talk," Brady said. "Then they eat and stay about 30 or 40 minutes afterwards."
He said the meal program serves as the hook that brings seniors in to the center, allowing them to learn about other programs that are offered.
"A lot of them that were just coming for the meals are now coming for our other activities and programs," Brady said. "They're sticking around for Tai Chi and Zumba and Wii bowling. They start participating and that makes them healthier.
"A lot of them say that without the senior center, they wouldn't know what to do. A lot of them, their kids are grown and have moved away, and they're just glad we're here for them. They're glad we exist and we're happy to be here for them."
The Havelock Senior Center is located on Trader Avenue between Miller Boulevard and West Main Street. For more information, call 444-6445.

Sure, Giving Tuesday is a pretty new concept—but we happen to think it's also a pretty important one. The idea is quite simple: An entire day dedicated to giving back to others and getting to the true roots of the holiday season. After the mega-shopping weekend many of us just had, Giving Tuesday feels like a breath of fresh air. Here are three easy ways you can spend today giving back to animals in need.
Hug a Dog, Cuddle a Cat. Shelters across the country rely on their volunteers to help keep the animals in their care happy—and that includes some serious cuddling. Whether it's cozying up with a puppy or taking the time to befriend a skittish kitty, a little love goes a long way when you're a homeless pet. Changing litter boxes, filing paperwork and scooping poop, are a BIG help for shelter staff, too!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade. Help us fight to get strong anti-cruelty laws passed on federal, state and local levels as a member of our Advocacy Brigade. When you sign up, we'll automatically send you important actions you can take. It's a great way to give back all year long!
Become an ASPCA Guardian. Okay, you kind of knew this ask was coming, but we really hope you'll consider it. As a non-profit, our team really depends on the small monthly gifts our members provide. They are our backbone. Did we mention you get a really cute calendar and the donation is tax deductible?
Thanks for joining us for Giving Tuesday, and don't forget to share this post with your friends on Facebook and Twitter!
I support any law(s) that protect animals from harm.
Stronger laws for people abusing animals. No-kill shelters only.Educate the public on dog ownership,importance of dog training to ensure safety.
I support stricter laws and more severe punishment for animal abusers.
I really hope that people that abuse animal get punishment. It's not fair how these animal that all they want is someone to love and be given love get abused and treated unfair.
I've been an ASPCA Guardian Angel since 2006 ... and will probably be my whole life :D
Please support animal shelters. Take pet ownership seriously; if you are not ready for a lifetime commitment, get a stuffed animal. Pets are not to be be disgarded when your life changes or gets challenging.
Be an advocate for animals for the ASPCA's efforts, your local shelter, or just speak up when you see something that's not right. There's lots of ways to help and all are appreciated by our furry friends.
Dear people of the ASPCA,
I would love to help you with this. My blog and I would love for the ASPCA and myloveblog.blogspot.com to come together and put an end to animal curelity. If you could email me first then I will send you a link to my blog.
thank you so much for your time
Yes! Be an advocate. I think it is important to be the voice of those who do not have a voice. I have been volunteering at one of my local shelters and I can tell you that I don't believe I will ever stop. So for "Giving Tuesday" (this might be a more of a Thursday plan because my volunteer days are usually Thursdays) my plan is to hug a dog or cat, I might even scoop some poop if I am lucky. While I think it is important to go to your local shelter in dig your hands in, so to speak, I have become more curious on what I can do on a more legislation level. I believe it is important to know our state laws. How are the laws that are set up protecting our animals? How as a community can we make them better? Advocacy Brigade here I come! No matter what you give; time/love, Advocacy Brigade, or becoming an ASPCA guardian, every little thing you do goes a long way.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Quality
We have been so pleased with our decision to order our Save the Dates from Magnet Street! Not only do we love the design, but the quality of the card is excellent! We were also very impressed with timely shipping! I would recommend this site to anyone!
Happy Customer
I used this magnet for my save the dates. I liked that there was enough room to fit all the information I wanted (our names, date, "save the date," location, "formal invitation to follow," and our website). I also liked the "mini" size of the magnets. I wouldn't want them any bigger. I personalized the magnet with a white background; color photo; and azalea, lime, kiwi, and carrot colored dots and text (azalea and lime being the primary colors). The colors really pop and turned out exactly how I wanted! The photo came out slightly grainy even though I used a super high quality photo. But not enough for it to bother me. They look fabulous on the fridge! I didn't use the coordinating card holders, because when I'd seen a sample, the card holder bent the magnet's corners. Plus it wasn't worth the extra cost in my opinion. But I did order the coordinating seal and label set, which I loved! I also personalized them to match my colors, and they were worth the money! In my opinion, not having to write your return address on every envelope is definitely worth the extra cost! I ordered my magnets on February 18th, they shipped on February 29th, and they were delivered on March 2nd. The magnets came in a nice box, with everything in great condition. They even sent me a few extra, but don't count on this because it just depends on the production process. I had ordered about 25 extra of everything, and am glad I did since I had to do a few re-writes! When I mailed them, they didn't need any extra postage. I absolutely love my save the date magnets, received lots of compliments on them, and would definitely order them again!
Save The Date Magnets
I am really happy with the Save The Date magnets we ordered. The quality is very good and I liked that it comes with lined envelopes. I also was able to use a code to get % off. Worth the $!
Love the magnet
I keep getting compliments on our save the date magnets. We chose the 'circle of love' style and changed the colors to match ours. I love how it turned out, and is different from the classic and traditional save the dates you see more often.
We love them!
Our magnets came out beautifully! They were delivered quickly and in lovely packaging. Magnet Street was easy to use, we were able to customize the design just the way we wanted it and we are so pleased with our Save the Dates!

What is the Human Relations Council?
The Human Relations Council's mission is "to promote cultural diversity to better serve the needs of the citizens of Alamance County." The council was established in 1962 and does not require Alamance County residency for those wanting to serve as a council member.
The council members serve two-year terms. Some of the council's duties include studying and recommending strategies for the prevention of potential human relations problems and crises, as well as identifying and documenting areas of human needs in housing, employment, education and recommending strategies for meeting those needs. There are currently three vacancies remaining on the Human Relations Council.
GRAHAM — Another nominee has been rejected for the county's Human Relations Council by the Alamance County Board of Commissioners.
The commissioners voted 3 to 1 on Monday to reject Julie Budd's nomination to serve on the council. Budd has lived in
Commissioners Tim Sutton. Bill Lashley, and David Smith voted to reject Budd's nomination. Manning voted against rejecting the nomination.
Before the vote, Sutton asked that Budd's nomination be pulled from the board's consent agenda. Van Poteat of
Sutton said he is concerned about Budd's political activism as member of Alamance Peace Action, which runs the Alamance County Bring the War Dollars Home and Fund Our Communities campaigns. Sutton said he believes the Bring the War Dollars Home campaign is associated informally with the organization Code Pink.
Code Pink is a national women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end U.S funded wars and occupations, to challenge militarism globally, and to redirect the nation's resources into health care, education, and green jobs, according to Code Pink's website.
"It's my understanding, and if I am wrong I will apologize, it's my understanding that she is over this committee Bring the War Dollars Home, if I'm not mistaken" Sutton said
Sutton said he is against reducing the nation's military spending and that he believes Code Pink is "the most radical group in
"For that reason, I cannot support the nomination," Sutton said.
Manning questioned how the county receives nominations for the Human Relations Council.
According to County Clerk Tory Frink, the nominations are submitted in several ways: through an online application process or in person at the county office building. These submissions are sent to Human Relations Council chairperson Alexa Jordan for review.
Frink said the Human Relations Council also receives applications directly from nominees, which are reviewed and sent to the commissioners for final consideration.
Manning suggested the commissioners table their vote on Budd's nomination to get a better understanding on what the council does in the community.
"I hate to selectively choose and not choose ones based on criteria that may be inconsistent with what their mission is," Manning said.
Manning raised a question about the board's approval of Steven Carter last month to serve on the Human Relations Council. Carter serves as president of the Alamance County Tea Party. Manning said that both Carter and Budd are active in the community.
"I don't know if it's our role, I guess, philosophically to differentiate without knowing more of what the human relations council does," Manning said.
Sutton said he doesn't believe Carter's level of political activism with the Tea Party is close to the level of activism exhibited by those promoting the Bring the War Dollars Home campaign in
Sutton cited Julie Budd and Anne Cassebaum as members of the Bring the War Dollars Home campaign movement. Cassebaum is a member of Alamance Peace Action and is also a member on the Human Relations Council.
Sutton said he believes the Human Relations Council is not "apolitical" and believes that some of the council's recent nominees are divisive.
Smith said he believes the commissioners should only approve nominees that fit in line with the board's political agenda.
"My feeling on this board on any appointment is that it should mirror our political beliefs," Smith said.
Smith said he didn't see a problem approving Carter last month to serve on the Human Relations Council.
"Carter, I don't think he has an agenda other than being a conservative Republican and I will put a conservative republican on anything, on any board that comes up before me," Smith said.
BUDD RESPONDED MONDAY afternoon to the commissioners' decision to reject her nomination.
Budd said she moved from
"Within this county we have a Quaker tradition and the Quakers promote peace," Budd said. "It is nonsensical to not have a representation of that Quaker heritage on a board that's goal is to promote diversity."
Budd said Alamance Peace Action's members understand that defense spending is necessary but that priorities should be set for the nation to spend less on defense and more on education and other needs.
"It's just an educational campaign," Budd said.
Budd said the county should want its Human Relations Council to be inviting and inclusive and not divisive and exclusionary.
"If we have a few people that keep people from sitting down at a table, that is not good for the overall health of the community," Budd said.
Budd said it is important to have members on the Human Relations Council that have different viewpoints.
"We are not all David Smith," Budd said.
Budd said there is no link between Code Pink and Alamance Peace Action. Budd said she may have signed a Code Pink petition over the past year but it had nothing to do with Alamance Peace Action.
A recent Code Pink online petition showed that Budd had signed a petition over the past year called "Women Say No War On Iran." Budd was one of 22,507 people who signed the online petition.
Budd said the county should work to continue to have diversity on the Human Relations Council.
"Do we really want to have leaders that only want to have people that think exactly like them on committees?" Budd said. "They only want to hear from people who think like them."
Budd's rejected nomination comes after Scott Zienty's nomination to serve on the Human Relations Council was rejected in February.
The commissioners decided then to send Zienty's nomination back to the council for further review because of concerns they expressed over how long Zienty had lived in the community. According to his nomination application, Zienty had lived in Elon for a year and a half at the time he was being considered.
Zienty said then he believed the commissioners decided not to appoint him because of his close ties to the Latino community and work with Centro La Comunidad.

Pat McCabe is preferred to Berrick Barnes at inside centre, while Dan Vickerman has been deployed to stop Victor Matfield's influence in the quarter-final in Wellington.
McCabe seriously injured his shoulder two weeks ago but has made an unexpectedly quick recovery to start. He will test the defence in the Springboks' 10-12 channel with his direct style. Barnes drops to the bench and joins centre Anthony Fainga'a, who returns from injury.
Other changes in the back division sees Digby Ioane return to wing after an injury sustained in their opening pool match. He replaces Drew Mitchell, who was forced to fly home after tearing his hamstring. The run-on backline is the same one that beat the Springboks 14-9 in the Tri-Nations match in Durban in August.
Meanwhile, the South African born Vickerman has edged out Nathan Sharpe in the second row. 'There wasn't a lot in that call,' head coach Robbie Deans said. 'They are both experienced and both understand the importance and composure in matches of this magnitude.'
Vickerman is one of five changes in the heavies, with Radike Samo, Ben Alexander, Rocky Elsom, Sekope Kepu reinstated.
Scott Higginbotham is omitted with Ben McCalman asked to cover all three loose forward positions.
Deans said their recent dominance over the Springboks (they've won five of their last six Tests) counted for nothing. 'That stat is irrelevant now. History reflects sides who have done well leading into the tournament haven't won it,' he said. 'It's whether we an do it on Sunday. That's all that matters.'
He added that their pool-phase defeat to Ireland would have offered the Springboks clues in how to nullifying them – 'what Ireland did, the Springboks' are also equipped to do' – but stressed that his team has improved since then.
The Wallabies have been heavily penalised by referee Bryce Lawrence in the three pool matches he has handled (33-18 penalties in favour of their opposition) and Deans explained that discipline was a theme this week.
'There has been a lot of dialogue about it and we're very concious of it, particularly since the Springboks' philosophy is to prey on the opposition's errors.'
Australia - 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 James O'Connor, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Radike Samo, 7 David Pocock, 6 Rocky Elsom, 5 James Horwill, 4 Dan Vickerman, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Sekope Kepu.

HAMPTON ROADS-- Despite the warm temperatures on Friday, snow blanketed much of the region by late Saturday.
13News Meteorologist Jeff Lawson said beginning Saturday afternoon rain would turn into a wintry mix and then snow for inland areas.
At times the snow came down quite heavily but because the ground was warm and the air temperatures were well above freezing, much of the snow had a hard time sticking.
Temperatures fell into the upper 30's during the late afternoon and areas saw 1 to 3 inches of snow fall.
Drew Lankford is with Virginia Beach Public Works and said they will monitor the weather and forecasts throughout the day and treat roads as needed.
Lankford said they had their 'Frost Patrol' trucks out at 4 p.m. pretreating bridges, ramps and overpasses throughout the city and then sent 8 additional crews at 5 p.m. to treat other roadways.
In Newport News, city officials said snow was slowing down and didn't seem to be sticking to the roads but they have snow plows on standby.
There are 11 trucks ready to plow the roads in Hampton if needed.
Officials are asking all drivers to be cautious.
Saturday evening Dominion said they weren't working any weather related outages.
Jeff says expect the wind to pick up Saturday evening and warns that it will feel very cold outside.

The Palms Grill Café
The Palms Grill Cafe was a well-known restaurant during the heyday of Route 66. Recently the cafe was revitalized and reopened, and is serving up delicious nostalgia from the fabled Route 66 era. The Palm's Grill Café has been baking pies and feeding hungry travelers and residents for decades. Their pies are so delicious they've even won a few state pie competitions.

Brumbies coach Jake White wants Stephen Larkham to come out of retirement and solve their flyhalf crisis.
The 37-year-old Larkham, who handles the Brumbies' attack, hasn't played Super Rugby since 2007. The left-field option came about from White's desperation to find a competent pivot to lead their attack after he lost Christian Lealiifano and Matt Toomua to injury.
'He runs all of our plays, he knows our plays – we would be crazy not to ask him, and it is a real option I could have Stephen Larkham running around for three games,' White said. 'I would never force him to play, but when two fly-halves go down you have to think outside the box.
'If we think he can add value to us then we will pursue it … he's 37 but there aren't many guys out there and the ones who are, they aren't much younger.'If he says to me he would play, then of course we will go with that.'
The Brumbies are on a bye this weekend and have reportedly given Larkham some time to consider the proposal. They are, however, also looking abroad, with Matt Giteau's name mentioned in press reports in Australia.

I'm new to aluminum welding and am doing a few skeg jobs.What do you use to sand paint off and bevel pieces to be welded?(without contaminating the aluminum).

lower units...skegs
I'd say pretty much anything you want to use. You can run your disk across a wax candle to keep it from loading up to much.
Personally I wouldn't worry about contaminants on a skeg. Your most likely going to see black crap floating out of the base aluminum.
If the lower unit still has the prop shaft and gear housing seals in it that would be more of a concern. Use high heat to get the weld going quick and let it cool some when it gets hot. Maybe some wet towels will help cool the gear housing.

Yeah I was wondering what to use..my aluminum oxide flappers embed the aluminum(I wax them too),I found 3M surface conditioning disks work.Just looking for some tricks here.How about cutting the skeg material and the lower unit..I use my plama on thr cast,but saw cut the blanks...any thoughts?

There are grinder discs made specifically for aluminum you could try instead of the flap discs. These do not load up like the standard type disc do. Check at your LWS for them, someplaces you may have to ask them about it as they don't always keep them out on the shelf.
A carbide bit in a die grinder can also work depending on the application.MM250

Hello, I have had good luck using flapper or sanding disks to remove the paint off the lower units. Once the paint is gone , regular grinding wheels or zip-cuts with bees wax to stop them clogging up for grinding or cutting the base aluminum. As for cutting the new patch pieces or material , I use a small wood cutting bandsaw for making up patch pieces or shape cutting, its alot cleaner cut than the plasma and there is no cleanup required, before welding it. You can even bevel your pieces nice if you want to get real fancy. For just breaking up the oxide layer and between passes i use a blue Walter stainless steel wirewheel on the grinder for buffing off the welds. This works good if you do get the black junk contamination . hope this helpsI have a welding addiction

Thanks for the tips...I found my plasma left a roughish edge there too,the band saw idea is great-that should help things go ceaner & maybe bevel at the same time.My buddy sandblasts the paint off-I'm not so sure about doing that tho, with the silica sand.Things usually go pretty well,but we are still dealing with cast aluminum of varying qualities.
So what do guys like for skeg material?I use either 5053,6061,but am wondering about the pre-cast ones.Sure seem expensive but maybe savings can be had from less shaping time.Are these pre-cast skegs free of junk inside them?
By the way good luck on your welding, You might want to practice on some old aluminum first.
The replacements are probably cleaner metal than the original. Kind of like aluminum props, some are clean and some are trash. Don't worry too much about a skeg. Get some aluminum filler paste for any pinholes that may not sand out.
If its not to bad, straighten it with a hammer ( a heavy soft hammer) over something to provide backing support and just weld it out, then finish it down to the original look.
If its over half gone, that may not be an option. You need these things removed from the engine where you can work on it. If its broken off up close to the housing, seals will most likely need to be replaced afterwards, tell the owner so they know ahead of time.
I have welded them for a prop shop, it is not that bad. Don't overthink it and worry with it. Don't know what your welding it with but you'll need some power if its up in the thicker area.
4043 works ok for filler.

Yeah I've played around on corroded cast aluminum,sure shows up some interesting things!lol!I was using a Precision Tig 225,but not enough power,welds good,harsh arc however.So I just ordered a Synchrowave 250dx,I tried an older one at work & liked it.Just as mentioned,the need to puddle fast on thick sections to lower overall heat input will be great.So far none (skegs) have fallen off leaving the dock..lol!Some that have been re-hit bent over & didn't break,happy about that.The biggest gearcase so far was a 150hp,but I didn't have to replace much.Ok I appreciate the advice & need one more opinion(for now).Where do you ground the welder on gearcase?Is there anything to the idea that current thru the bearings is bad?I was given two differing opinions around here

Customer Raves & Reviews
Incredible Work from Magnet Street!
My wedding is very unique in that it will be a Celtic themed wedding, as in Irish and Scottish. I had been searching all over for reasonably-priced invitations that had Celtic knotwork. I couldn't find what I wanted and was becoming increasingly frustrated. Then I realized - the place where I got my amazing Save the Dates, Magnet Street, might have invitations! Hoping for the best, I went to the website and typed Celtic, and there they were! MANY options, reasonably priced. I chose the least pricey, that's just where I'm at right now, and I was able to personalize the invite with our wedding colors - emerald and deep midnight blue. I couldn't have asked for a better invitation! It was perfect for what I needed. I ordered them about a week ago and somehow, the amazing team at Magnet Street got them ready and shipped out and I received them not even a week later!!! And they are beautiful. I cried when I saw them. Just as amazing as my Save the Dates, and I am SO happy with the quality and the colors... it's amazing. DEFINITELY order Magnet Street!
Save The Dates
I was very happy with the flexibility even in the template design. I asked to tweak a few parts and it was done quickly. I love a good deal so the $7 dollar off coupon was great. The final presentation was also more than I would have expected. I would definitely buy from MagnetStreet.com again!
Save the date cards
They came out perfect! Loved the way they were packaged as well.
These worked for save the dates..
Nice for a save the date magnet! Not as magnetic as I would have liked... Picture quality fair-good.
very satisfied
We loved being about to change the colors and add our own picture. Fits our Irish wedding theme perfectly
