Winter Basketball FAQ
What does it mean to register as a team?
If you have a group of players that want to play together, the JCCSF can accommodate. You should contact Sheena Lister so you can be guided through the process. Full teams have the opportunity to submit a practice request. While all requests cannot be honored, the JCCSF will do their best to accommodate.
What does it mean to register as an individual?
One of our top priorities is to find a team for any individual who wants to play basketball but does not have a team to play with. We often have partial teams or full teams short of the maximum roster where we can place individual players.
If I am registering my athlete as an individual, is there a guarantee he/she will be placed on a team?
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that an individual will be placed on a team. Players must play in the age division according to their grade so the JCCSF must have a corresponding team in the individual player's age division in order to be able to place them on a team. If the JCCSF is not able to place a player on a team, the player will receive a full refund minus a $35 processing fee.
Can JCCSF non-members sign up to play?
Absolutely. All players are welcome to play on JCCSF teams.
How much does the season cost?
The fees to play basketball on a JCCSF team are $400 for JCCSF members and $435 for the public. These fees cover JCCSF league fees, coaching, uniforms, equipment, practices, games, end-of-season celebration and team management and administration.
What is the refund policy?
At point of registration, full payment is required. Payment is processed on November 14. The full fee is refundable minus a $35 processing fee if a player decides to withdraw before the processing date (November 14). After that, 50% of the full fee is refundable up until 1 week before practices begin. After that, a refund will not be issued – no exceptions.
When will the team know their practice schedule?
The practice schedule is expected to be announced by November 21 via The JCCSF Scoreboard, our online team management tool.
When will the team know their game schedule?
The game schedule is expected to be announced no later than December 12 via The JCCSF Scoreboard.
When do practices begin and end?
Practices for Competitive teams begin the week of December 8 and for Recreational teams the week of January 5 and continue until the week prior to the final game. Sometimes, based on when the final game happens, teams have a last practice after their final game to finish the season with a fun session. This depends on the game schedule. The week of March 9 is the absolute last week teams can practice due to conflicts with the start of spring sports.
When do games begin and end?
Competitive teams will have a scrimmage game on December 13 or 14. The regular season will start January 10/11.
Where are practices held?
All practices are expected to be held in the JCCSF Gymnasium located on the 3rd floor of the JCCSF, 3200 California Street. Depending on the size of the program, the JCCSF will rent auxiliary space for practices as necessary.
May I pull into the white zone and drop my child off for practice?
No, all players 12 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult to the gym on the third floor. While this may be inconvenient, this rule is in place for the safety and security of your child. The JCCSF is a large building with lots of turns and places to get lost. The JCCSF is not capable of providing the staffing necessary to ensure that players get to the gym on their own so we rely on the support of parents and caregivers to get players to the court safely. The same policy applies to pick-up.
How often do teams practice?
All teams have one weekday practice for one hour. Practices are scheduled based on team requests and school release times. They can start as early as 2:30pm and as last as 6:30pm. Some days practices start on the hour and some on the half hour.
Where are games played?
All games are expected to be played in the JCCSF Gymnasium. Auxiliary space will be rented as necessary.
When will I know my athlete's coach?
Coach assignments are made once the practice schedule is created. Teams are generally made aware of who their coach is the week prior to the first practice.
What equipment or gear do I need to provide for my player?
The JCCSF provides all players in the Recreational league with a team t-shirt, which players are welcome to keep.
Is there an end of the season celebration?
The JCCSF ends the season with a closing ceremonies event in Kanbar Hall. Players sit with their teammates and coaches and have a pizza dinner while parents and siblings sit with other families and enjoy a potluck dinner. All players receive a memento commemorating their achievement.
What are the rules for the Recreational league?
The rules for the Recreational League are designed to teach the game of basketball in a non-competitive environment. A progression of rules and structure from kindergarten through the oldest grade allows players to adapt to more competitive, age-appropriate style as they get older. Please review the JCCSF Recreational League Rules Chart for specifics.
What are the rules for the Competitive League?
Players in the JCCSF Competitive League playing according to adapted California High School Rules. In general, traveling, double dribble, fouls and other standard rules are enforced. There are more leniencies at the third grade level than at the sixth grade level, but we've found that the best way to teach the game and its structure is to consistently enforce the rules. Coaches and referees are both trained to teach during games so that players are learning by their mistakes and not intimidated by an official's call.
Who referees games?
Coaches act as referees for the Recreational league, giving them the opportunity to coach and officiate while staying close to the action.
How much playing time will my child receive?
The JCCSF uses strict participation rules to ensure that players in grades K – 5 receive a minimum of two quarters of court time. Starting in sixth grade, players are guaranteed one quarter of playing time.
How do the playoffs work?
All teams in the Competitive League qualify, regardless of record, for a single elimination playoff tournament. Teams are seeded based on regular season record and play until a champion is decided. Both the champion and runner-up will receive a trophy. All championship games are played on the JCCSF Full Court.
Why is the championship game played on the full court?
We are often asked this question, mostly in regard to the fact that teams do not play on this size court during the regular season. We feel that playing on the full court makes it a special experience, placing the spot light on one game instead of having multiple games played at the same time. Players and coaches are introduced prior to the game and the full court gives players the chance to play on the big stage. Part of sports is facing new challenges. While the full court is slightly bigger, we have not found it to have an adverse effect on the level of play.
What are the expectations of spectators during games?
We are glad you asked. The JCCSF Gymnasium can be a very excited and tense atmosphere during games, even for teams as young as 2nd grade. We ask that parents and spectators demonstrate enthusiastic, yet appropriate support for all players and teams. Parents and spectators are asked not to coach from the sidelines. While your suggestions might be fundamentally sound, they may be in contrast to what the coach is teaching. Please leave the coaching to each team's coaches and only provide positive support for your young players.
Is it permitted to bring coffee into the gym?
No! Absolutely no food or beverages are permitted in the gym. This applies to coffee, tea, Gatorade and other sports beverages. Only water is permitted in the gym.
Who are the JCCSF Coaches?
Coaches in the JCCSF program come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from students to full-time coaches to professionals in a range of industries.
Who manages and administers the JCCSF Youth Sports Program?
The youth sports program is led by a strong staff of professionals, each with a specific area of focus.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
Question from no_skills
What is the best strategy for the Tiger Tamer achievement?
Tiger Tamer. I have let Snowflake kill Ted & have not got this achievement yet. Any suggestions?
4 years ago
I got Snowflake while Tastes Like Chicken was still active and just brought him to it and had him attack Antoine and I got it. Maybe Ted doesn't count toward it?
4 years ago
Unfortunately the game considers Ted a defected survivor, so Ted can't be used for the achievement. I'd suggest Antoine, since he's rather easy to kill anyway.
4 years ago
yes, Antoine would be perfect... I attempted Chuck and had Snowflake die. (though I think he suffers the Ted situation too... I would imagine that Chuck would count as defected anyway.)
4 years ago
When you fight Ted and Snowflake, just beat Ted and then leave the Yucatan. Don't go back in until the Tastes Like Chicken quest pops up. As soon as it does, go back in and a cutscene should play where Snowflake is automatically tamed. Then just bring her down and have her attack Antoine, and bleep-bloop, achievement unlocked.
4 years ago
I got this whilst doing the case mission, "A familiar face" (The psycho that you fight in the bathroom, who jumps in and out of the cubicles), then i told her to wait outside whilst is finished the fight.
All Snowflake has to do is damage a psycho once, but as other people above have found, some dont count as legitimate ones.
4 years ago
I got this from having snowflake run free, then the (secret biker psycho) got stuck at a wall and Snowflake did his work.
3 years ago
Go to Achievementhunter.com and go to games then look for Dead Rising 2

26 April 2012 16:00 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Moody's Investors Service on Thursday upgraded its outlook for Arkema to "positive" from "stable" on expectations that the French specialty chemical producer will continue to execute its growth strategy.
Moody's positive outlook reflects an improvement in Arkema's business profile, following the acquisition of Total's photocure and coatings resins businesses in 2011, the acquisition of Chinese companies Hipro Polymers and Casda Biomaterials in 2012.
It also takes into account the pending sale of its vinyl business to Switzerland-based investment group Klesch, in order to focus on its industrial chemicals and performance products segments.
"The positive outlook reflects the expectation that the company will continue to execute its growth strategy whilst maintaining financial discipline through mainly bolt-on acquisitions sensibly priced," Moody's said.
"Arkema's strategy is to increase the contribution of more value added-products in its existing main segments and to increase vertical integration," it added.

I have been aware of agenda
I have been aware of agenda 21 for some time, and I fully expect the area where I live to be targeted. I live in a small farming area, and with residences that have five acre minimums. Some are smaller, such as mine, but were divided before the minimum took effect.
I will not give in to their tyranny.

"Fight Like Mike"
Our current promotion for the months of February & March is the SLHC will be donating $10 from every new application to the "Fight Like Mike" campaign, to help out Sylvan Lake's Arthur family. Plus each application will be entered in a draw for a Free Week's Tuition and Accommodation! For more information, please click this link: http://www.sylvanlakehockeycamp.com/news/fight-like-mike/
2015 Dates have been added.
Detailed session changes/updates will follow.
As we go past our 40th year and our first in the Sylvan Lake Multiplex, we have taken time to reflect and take a nostalgic look back on the literally hundreds of people and events that have shaped who we are and what we do. As well how, with the dramatic turn of events when our arena collapsed, things change fast and how we adapt to that change is so very important.
Thrust into new surroundings, the summer of 2014 was a challenge that we are very proud to have transitioned very successfully. What we lacked in our traditional setup was made up in modern facilities that afforded us additional training opportunities. And with construction slated to begin in the spring of 2015 on our new $30 million Nexsource Center, we can feel a long sought after vision coming true. A vision of the SLHC in a truly "state of the art" training facility, where all of our on and off ice programming can take place in one location, under one roof. Plus, we'll still be located 2 blocks from the beach to ensure we don't lose the one tradition that sets us apart… summer fun!
To get to that spot in our programming, we will continue with the third year of our ongoing commitment to provide the latest in proper age appropriate, skill specific training, all in accordance with Hockey Canada and Hockey Alberta's Long Term Player Development (LTPD) model .
To further expand the knowledge of LTPD, our "Coach Leadership Development Program" will move into its 2nd year where we engage local minor hockey coaches from Minor Hockey Associations interested in learning about this very important initiative.
For more information on these and other programs offered, simply click on the "About Us" tab at the top of this page an go to Our Programs.
Exciting New Camp Dates for Jasper, August 16 – August 22, 2015.
As we move into our 20th year we are very excited to be able to seize the opportunity to move the Jasper Camp date to August 2015. It has been a long-awaited goal to move the dates, which are August 16 to August 22, 2015. This allows our students to better prepare for the upcoming season as it is significantly closer to the 2015/16 start-up dates. It also aligns with our continued emphasis on educating as many participants as possible to Hockey Alberta's Long Term Player Development (LTPD) initiative which is based on age appropriate skill set development. For further information on our LTPD program, simply click on the "About U"s tab at the top of this page and follow the link to "Our Programs".
To access more specific information on our Jasper Camp, go to the "Sessions tab", once again at the top of this page, and follow the JHC link.
Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact our office at any time.
Graham Parsons
In 2013 Hockey Alberta and the Sylvan Lake/Jasper Hockey Camps entered into a pilot project to evaluate the possibilities of Hockey Alberta partnering with private operators who currently deliver off season development as long as they do so in accordance with Hockey Alberta and Hockey Canada's Long Term Player Development Program's" goals and aspirations. The success of that "pilot project" has firmly entrenched that vision and values into the SLHC and JHC player and coach development program.
In 2011 Hockey Alberta started investigating the possibility and effects of expanding their off season development programs from their "Program of Excellence", which targets elite athletes 14 years and up, to a more grassroots approach. It was determined that the membership of HA wanted some form of shoulder season programming. It was also determined that it was happening in environments that were not in keeping with Hockey Canada's LTPD program which very specifically outlines the process of proper age specific player development.

Ecological theatre and the evolutionary game: how environmental and demographic factors determine payoffs in evolutionary games
- K. Argasinski,
- M. Broom
- … show all 2 hide
In the standard approach to evolutionary games and replicator dynamics, differences in fitness can be interpreted as an excess from the mean Malthusian growth rate in the population. In the underlying reasoning, related to an analysis of "costs" and "benefits", there is a silent assumption that fitness can be described in some type of units. However, in most cases these units of measure are not explicitly specified. Then the question arises: are these theories testable? How can we measure "benefit" or "cost"? A natural language, useful for describing and justifying comparisons of strategic "cost" versus "benefits", is the terminology of demography, because the basic events that shape the outcome of natural selection are births and deaths. In this paper, we present the consequences of an explicit analysis of births and deaths in an evolutionary game theoretic framework. We will investigate different types of mortality pressures, their combinations and the possibility of trade-offs between mortality and fertility. We will show that within this new approach it is possible to model how strictly ecological factors such as density dependence and additive background fitness, which seem neutral in classical theory, can affect the outcomes of the game. We consider the example of the Hawk–Dove game, and show that when reformulated in terms of our new approach new details and new biological predictions are produced.

GEORGETOWN, Texas, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DiFusion announced today the completion of a series of in vivo and in vitro clinical tests which substantiate their claim that CleanFUZE resists surgical infection and promotes bone growth. "Our clinical tests have shown repeatedly that we have a new biomaterial which eradicates MRSA bacterium 99.998%," says Joseph Crudden, PhD, Vice President of Research at DiFusion. CleanFUZE is a new load-bearing polymer from which any orthopedic or dental implant can be engineered.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120905/MM67764)
Hospital administrations, insurers and the public are becoming increasingly aware that surgical site infections (SSIs) pose an enormous issue as the 4th largest cause of death in the US with a higher mortality rate than auto accidents, breast cancer and AIDS – combined. Additionally, new Medicare reimbursement penalties for hospitals with high infection rates go into effect next month. CleanFUZE™ is the first material-based solution to actively kill MRSA while preventing biofilm adhesion.
According to Professor Hans Jorg Meisel, M.D., PhD, the Director for the Center of Neurosciences and the Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at BG-Clinic Bergmannstrost, Halle, Germany, "An orthobiologic material that resists infection and osteointegrates with bone would be the holy-grail of orthopedics. What more could we ask of an implant or material?"
DiFusion's CEO, Derrick Johns, claims that "CleanFUZE will first be introduced in the European Union via CE Mark in 2013 with subsequent FDA clearance in 2014."

I think with the info you provided, people will have a better understanding of your requirements and be able to give more appropriate advice. I won't recommend any specific boat because of my limited experience but I will suggest you look at a couple of websites that may give you some ideas to start from.
Mahina Expedition - Selecting A Boat for Offshore Cruising
Full List of Sailboats
I'm not affiliated with either site and only recommend them from a research perspective. I'm hoping to take off with my own dream in a few years and have been researching appropriate (for me at least) boats. Looking at the boats you're interested in in person gives you a much better feel for them. As mentioned before, if possible, getting some sea time on different boats will teach you more about what works and what doesn't than any book even if it's not a boat you may be interested in.
Best of luck with your search!

WASHINGTON, DC - The man in charge of paying out billions of dollars to those affected by the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico testified on Capitol Hill Thursday. Ken Feinberg faced a number of questions, mainly about why there are payment delays for thousands oil spill claims.
'Nine months since the oil spill, 57 percent of claims in Alabama remain unpaid,' said Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Alabama.
'As in any big organization, somewhere it has broken down,' Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida.
Senator Mary Landrieu, who chairs the subcommittee, said most of the complaints she is hearing about have to do with claims, which are denied for no specific reason.
'There doesn't seem to be any explanation and people then get very frustrated-- they don't even know where to begin, should they completely re-file, what didn't they understand. This is a real problem,' said Sen. Landrieu, D-Louisiana.
Feinberg responded agreed with the criticism, but said the issue was not widespread.
'It is a problem, but I must say the great majority of people don't have this problem,' Feinberg said.
Senator David Vitter also asked Feinberg about why claims coming from the fishing industry appear to be having to most trouble getting approved. Sen. Vitter also brought up the fact that Feinberg's name is floating around as a possible administrator of a federal fund for the 9-11 responders-- similar to the fund for 9-11 victims that Feinberg previously handled.
'Will you publicly state that you will not take the 9-11 first responder job or any other big public project, until this claim facility is fully closed down?' asked Sen. Vitter, R-Louisiana.
Feinberg said he would not make that statement.
'Senator, I don't see how I can,' Feinberg responded. 'I don't want to be publicly state absolutely I won't because, first of all, no one has asked me.'
Vitter swiftly responded that he was 'disappointed' with that answer.
'I would suggest, given that this is a big unfinished job, that the answer should be public and unequivocal, that no you won't do that-- and you won't do anything like that until this facility is completely closed down,' Sen. Vitter said.
Senator Landrieu added that the facility appears to be faltering in its mission, to finish paying out the $20 billion dollars set aside for those affected by the spill.
'I am getting more and more convinced unfortunately that there is something lost between your vision and what is happening on the ground,' she said.
As the hearing wrapped up, Sen. Landrieu announced plans for another Senate subcommittee hearing in the next three to four weeks. This time, she said she plans to call the chief operating officers of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility to answer questions about problems with the claims process.

OCEANSIDE: Mayoral, council candidates sharply divided
When it comes to picking a mayor and two council members, Oceanside voters will have plenty of options in the Nov. 6 election ---- and the political differences among those running are stark.
Seeking a four-year term as mayor are incumbent Jim Wood, former mayor Terry Johnson and City Councilman Jerry Kern.
Wood is running for a third term, Johnson is trying to regain the job he lost to Wood in 2004 and Kern is fresh from winning re-election to the council in 2010. His term doesn't expire until 2014, so he would retain his seat if he's not elected mayor. He also fought off a 2009 recall election.
Seven people are running for two council seats in the November election ---- incumbents Esther Sanchez and Jack Feller and challengers Dana Corso, Hugh "Chip" Dykes, James "Jimmy" Knott III, Donald Snyder and David Zernik.
In the mayor's race, the candidate with the most votes wins a job that pays $32,928 annually. In the council races, the two candidates with the most votes will win posts that pay $30,528 annually.
Wood, Sanchez and Corso have been campaigning as a package deal in what Sanchez called "team Oceanside."
Kern, Dykes and Feller support each other, but have been running independent campaigns. All three have been endorsed by the county Republican Party.
On the council, Wood and Sanchez are often aligned on major issues against Kern, Feller and Councilman Gary Felien, who was elected in 2010 and doesn't run again until 2014.
Key election issues that have emerged in recent candidate forums and in interviews are whether the city should hire private companies to take over some city services, whether the city should move ahead on controversial road projects and mobile-home rent control.
Wood and Johnson have said they're against outsourcing city services and Kern has been an advocate of the practice on the council.
"It makes sense to go out to the private sector and see if they can provide these services at a lower cost," Kern said. He pushed unsuccessfully to have a private company take over street sweeping and supported a failed move to consider outsourcing library operations.
Wood said private companies won't provide the reliable service residents have come to expect from city workers.
"I'm not in favor of it," Wood said.
Johnson, too, has said he wouldn't outsource city services.
Kern is pessimistic in talking about the city's financial outlook.
"We're going to have to struggle for the next five or six years," Kern said.
Johnson offers an even more dire prediction, warning that the city faces possible bankruptcy if it doesn't control costs.
He said the city should press city labor unions to agree to pay cuts and changes in city pension plans to lower the costs.
Johnson would replace the individual aides for each council member and the mayor and replace them with one person to serve all the mayor and council.
To set an example, Johnson said he wouldn't accept a salary as mayor but would donate the money for senior lunch programs or to reopen the Marshall Street swimming pool.

Workplace Experience
AUT students learn away from the classroom by undertaking a work placement. This gives them the opportunity to implement their newly gained knowledge and learn more about career options.
Students spend one semester with an organisation undertaking ongoing work or a project that is related to one of their majors. This provides an opportunity for students to critically reflect on the relationship between their studies, business practice and their learning as business professionals.
Payment for work undertaken during the co-op is negotiated between the student and the organisation. Most students are paid during their co-op placement.
Students find their co-op work experiences are invaluable in rounding off their academic study and prepare them well for their professional careers.
"It's an amazing opportunity to be able to do my co-op placement at Flava. I feel very lucky!" Read more of Eruini Paranihi's story >>

Jonathan Townsend wrote:Philippe - the OP asked about shifting three cards, is there a preferred and published handling of the slip cut to slip more than one card?
Mike Masaveg wrote:Do the cards have to go to a specific spot? You can use the actions of a classic pass or preferably a dribble pass to move the cards. Just get a break below the top three cards then when ready to do the shift just grab a block of cards from the middle and complete the actions of the shift. You need to ignore the cards below where you grab the block from they will just drop out of the way. I have been playing with this for some time now and have found a dribble works best to shade the noise. Think of it as pulling that block up through the top three cards.
If you can't visualize it let me know and I'll try to send you a quick video.

Critical Essay by Colin Ludlow
David Mamet's A Life in the Theatre offers a decidedly unglamorous view of the show business world. It emphasises not the ecstatic moments of applause, nor the passionate relationships of those caught up in that world, but the mundane routine of the acting profession. The play's title is surprisingly literal. It is a way of life that the drama seeks to evoke, and it concentrates exclusively upon the theatre, showing almost no concern for anything that takes place beyond the stage door.
The play is written as a series of extremely short, separate scenes linked only by the two characters, both actors, who appear in them all….
There is no storyline to join the different incidents and conversations together, but what the play lacks in plot it partly makes up for in atmosphere….
The image of theatre that...

Current flour prices
Those of us in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii think we're pretty much at the end of the road as far as purchasing things is concerned. So I'm just curious as to what typical flour prices are for, for example Gold Medal unbleached white, whole wheat and "Just For Bread"? I just bought some of all three on an in-store special for $3.50/5 lbs which is pretty cheap for here.

Andy Murray Goes GaGa for Lady
After Andy Murrays dramatic late-night win over Stanislas Wawrinka on Monday night, as Wimbledon witnessed its first floodlit match under centre courts new roof.
I wanted to to let you know that we ChannelBee.com have some really interesting Andy Murray footage that we think you might like to see.
The tennis ace has revealed that hes actually a big fan of music misfit Lady Gaga. He told Tim Lovejoys channelbee.com that during his pre-match preparation, he likes nothing better than to get into the zone with some choice tunes to give him the advantage over opponents at SW19.
You can download a sneak peak at: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/706844360...10385f42048200

He listens to rap and all that other crap, that's a big reason why I don't like him at all.

14.05.09 - Former world boxing champ Duke McKenzie today told talkSPORT, the UKs only national commercial speech radio station, that Ricky Hatton should not turn his back on boxing despite his second round defeat to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas earlier this month. Speaking to Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs on the Hawksbee and Jacobs Show about Hattons future, McKenzie said: Im probably in a minority where I think he should carry on. Its very easy to pass judgment and say he should retire. Obviously hes made a lot of money. But its not just about money where Ricky Hatton is concerned. Its about being one of the best fighters in the world..
If youve lost to a Floyd Mayweather or a Manny Pacquiao lets get it right, there are world champions and there are elite world champions. He has lost to two of the best fighters in modern day boxing, no disgrace. Getting knocked out in the fashion that he did by Manny Pacquiao is no disgrace.
Ive been in the exact same position and had I listened to my doubters after getting knocked out in one round when I lost my second world title, two fights later I was world champion again. So, Amir Khan is boxing for the world championship in July. Im sure the nation would pay to see Ricky Hatton against Amir Khan at Wembley Arena.
Froch in Bute talks
Super-middleweight champion Carl Froch expects to defend his WBC belt against IBF title holder Lucian Bute some time this September. It is understood that Frochs promoter Mick Hennessy has already made contact with the Canadian champions camp.
Froch has made no secret of his desire to unify the super-middleweight division. The Nottingham-born star has set his sights on the IBF and WBA title.
Froch told the Steve Bunce Boxing Hour on Setanta Sports News that negotiations were under way.
He said: We seem to be making some ground, although theres nothing official, with Lucian Bute. Its a fight Im definitely interested in. Im WBC champion and I want to unify the belts.
Hes a tough champion, hes IBF champion and it gives me the chance to unify the divisions. And thats something I want to do.
He pulls a big crowd in Montreal. Were talking about 15,000 20,000 fans. But with the Canadian dollar the way it is, if you work it out in comparison, its probably the same as getting 7000 in the Nottingham Arena.
If I have to go to Canada and fight Lucian Bute over there Ill do it. But Id like to get a fight in Nottingham, for the fans.
Recent reports had suggested that Froch would go up against Bernard Hopkins. However Froch revealed he wasnt interested in taking that fight.
He added: Its not a fight Im massively interested in, hes not a champion.
The problem with Hopkins and his people is hes the fight everybodys interested in so he tends to price himself out of the market. And he tends to give you peanuts for wanting to fight him.
Hell want 80%, you get 20%. Its unrealistic.
Sykes vs. Crolla Added To Stoke Fight Card
A tremendous battle between super feather prospects has been added to Frank Maloney's May 29 fight card at Fenton Manor Sports Complex In Stoke.
Undefeated Dewsbury stylist Gary Sykes meets popular Manchester grafter Anthony Crolla in a British title eliminator that supports the main event featuring reigning champion Chris Edwards vs. Usman Ahmed in a British flyweight title bout.
25 year old Sykes, 11-0 (4), has gone through a lineup of experience building bouts since turning pro in February, 2006 and won every round in a significant victory over spoiler Harry Ramaogoadi last year.
22 year old Crolla, 13-1 (5), is riding a five bout win streak including a revenge gaining rematch over the only man to defeat him thus far, Syrian hard man Youssef Al Hamidi, last August.
The stakes couldn't be higher in this mouth watering clash of hot prospects as the winner will get the opportunity to challenge for the British super featherweight title.
2008 Olympic bronze medallist Darren Sutherland heads the superb undercard at Fenton Manor.
Frank Maloney Presents the Flyweight Championship of Britain between reigning champion Chris Edwards and challenger Usman Ahmed with full undercard at Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke-on-Trent, England on Friday, May 29, 2009
Tickets are on sale at £35 and £75 and available from www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508.
Sky Sports will broadcast live on SS1 starting at 10PM.

The Boston Red Sox have reached preliminary agreement on a minor league contract with right-hander Bartolo Colon, a source told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
If he makes the Opening Day roster, Colon would provide rotation insurance for Boston, which will be without Curt Schilling, who is working his way back from a shoulder injury.
Under the terms of the agreement, Colon is not guaranteed any money, a baseball source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. If he pitches in the major leagues, it will be for a low baseball salary with performance bonuses.
No guaranteed money? He has come a long way since seeking a 2 year deal.

A short film made by the BMC with an aim of raising awareness about the perils of living in dilapidated buildings has received mixed response. While in some wards the response was overwhelming, there were no takers of it in other areas.
The 21-minute documentary was made following growing pressure on the civic body to take action against all dangerous and dilapidated, especially before the monsoon.
For example, the film could not be showed in C ward, which has jurisdiction over Kalbadevi area, as most residents were opposed to it. Assistant municipal commissioner of the ward, Dr Sangeeta Hasnale, said, "Residents didn't want to see it and there was no police protection provided to us."
However, Hasnale said they will soon be distributing CDs of the film to police stations, where it will be played. "We will also play it near major road junctions, and are in the process of getting necessary permissions from the traffic police," she said.
Hasnale added that currently there are eight dangerous and dilapidated buildings in the ward and water and electricity connection has already been disconnected in six of them. Hasnale, who was in temporary charge of the E ward, which has 10 shaky buildings, said the response was the same there.
In D ward, area around Malabar Hill, Assistant Municipal Commissioner Parag Masurkar visited individual societies and convinced residents to watch the film. It was played to a group of 20-25.
In B ward – Pydhonie and Dongri – the response was better. "Many society residents came to watch the film. After watching it, at least 50 people met me," said Kishor Gandhi, assistant municipal commissioner of the ward.
There are 26 dilapidated buildings in B ward, of which 12 have been vacated. "We are in the process of taking action on the rest," he said.
However, in L ward, which covers the Kurla area, the response was apparently overwhelming. "As many as 200 residents came down to the ward to watch the film. The response was very good," said Harshad Kale, assistant municipal commissioner.
L ward has a whopping 131 dilapidated buildings. "Of them, in 17 buildings, either the water or the electricity connection has been disconnected or the residents themselves have vacated the buildings," Kale said.

Naan Ee opens big !
Expectations were sky-high for Rajamouli's Naan Ee as it hit the screens on Friday.
Living up to all hype, the movie has opened big and has started garnering positive reviews from all quarters.
The film opened well in all cities of Tamilnadu.
Though this is Rajamouli's maiden Tamil venture, he has been appreciated and welcomed with glee. The movie is rich in computer graphics and visual effects.
But they have been done with utmost professionalism sure on par with movies made in the West.
Starring Nani, Samantha and Sudeep in lead roles, the movie is sure to rake in moolah in coming days.
Rajamouli should be a happy man for he has added one more feather in his cap with the movie.
Sudeep, who played a hero in Kannada films has gathered all guts to doi a negative role and thanks to amazing performance, he has taken the movie to unprecedented height. Three cheers to Naan Ee and the team.

The crux of the song. Waiting your whole life for something, and when it finally comes it is, quite frankly, terrifying.

Thanks for the messages :)
Here's today's report :
50 km's on the C14 after leaving Solitaire I came to the Tropic of Capricorn for the obligatory photo :
I spotted a cave (called "The Grotto") and decided to go investigate. It was pretty steep and with all my luggage and yet to be acquired off road skills I came off. I chose the wrong line and started using the brakes which wasn't a good combination. heh.
Bike was fine. I am fine. Lesson learned!
The Kuiseb Pass was break taking. It was made even more spectacular for me as I'm most of the way through "The Sheltering Desert" by Henno Martin which took place in this same area.
Solitaire to Swakupmond was around 270 km's which was out of range for the meagre 8.5 litre tank on the CTX. This is only the second time I have had to use my 10L. I never have it full but fill it with an 5-8L's depending on what I think I will need. There's no point in lugging 10L's around all the time if it's not needed.
Its nice the amount of people who enquired whether I was OK when I stop for photo's or refuelling etc.. Gives me confidence that if I did have a problem someone would be there to help. I met an Italian guy (who lives in Nairobi) on holiday with his family at this stop. He had a blow out and rolled his 4x4 a couple weeks earlier. He even showed me his scars! Nice guy... He rides a Honda XR125 back at home.
After the Kuiseb Pass there's over 100 km's of plains before you get to the coast.
I'm currently staying at Villa Wiese Backpackers. It looked pretty nice from the website but now I'm here you can tell its been neglected for a while. The kitchen is filthy. I'm going to try a different backpackers the day after tomorrow. Find somewhere cool to hole up.

What a great ride and interesting report. Your ability to share the experience is outstanding.
It seems everyone I know is talking smaller bikes now days. I'm riding a 650KLR and may try one of the smaller rides. They've got to be a lot easier to pickup once they fall over.

I moved hostels to Desert Sky Backpackers which is much nicer. I plan on spending Christmas and the New Year in Swakopmund as I have heard its the place to be with plenty of parties and people. I booked a bed from the 23rd to 3rd so will have 10 nights of a proper bed and a break from the bike which is a good idea on this sort of long trip. I also met some cool people there including someone I met in Cape Town and Mat and Jaap on two KTM 990's :
I haven't been feeling too well since Luderitz. I suspect that the fresh oysters I ate at the Oyster bar there were bad. I was getting stomach cramps and a pain down my right side especially when I took a deep breath. I thought it was getting better slowly but it had been nearly 2 weeks so I decided to go to the doctors to be sure. I got prescribed some anti-biotics which sorted it out straight away. The doctor reckoned it was some kind of colon infection.
I was looking for a 10 day mini trip before Christmas and decided to head up to the Brandberg (burnt) mountains. A Malaysian guy I met at the hostel called Yien was planning on a few days up there too. He was also a biker and decided to hire a Yamaha XT 250 from the local dealership. They have a pretty funny "wall of shame" in there :
So we both set off around 10:30 and drove through Henties Bay and soon came across one of the ship wrecks that the Skeleton coast is famous for :
Wanna buy some salt ?
We carried on as far as Cape Cross which has a massive seal colony. There must have been 10,000's there and loads of seal pups.
One of them wanted to use my bike as shade :)
After Cape Cross we headed inland taking a 4x4 dirt track towards Messum crater. It was quite easy going at first with fairly solid rocky ground and we make it to the crater without seeing any vehicles. We didn't see anyone else for the rest of the day.
After a while though we hit some increaing longer stretches of sand and both Yien and I fell off but fortunately only at low speeds without injury.
We didn't quite know where we were going and the lack of any other vehicles did have me slightly worried at times but we eventually made it to a not much better "D" road where we came across this burned out bakkie. Pretty mad max!
I also spotted my first wild Zebra. They were running quite near us beside the road :
With the Brandberg mountain on our left side we made our way into Uis where we set up camp at the Brandberg rest camp.

Here's our camp :
The next day Yien and I headed up to Twyfelfontein to see some of the bushman art. Before heading in we stopped for lunch at the lodge. This little fellow was scrambling about on the rocks :
For 50 NAB$ each we got a guide called Dion who showed us around the bushman art for an hour.
The circles represent water holes and their location relative to each other.
After our tour we visited the "Organ Pipes" :
Next the not so impressive "Burn't Mountain" :
We were relying on filling up to get back to Uis but unfortunately the new owner of the pumps decided he didn't want to operate them any more. It looked like we had enough fuel to get to Khorixas but it would mean a 70 km detour :(
Fortunately after hanging around for 10 minutes debating what to do and trying to gauge how much fuel we actually had a worked there took pity on us and offered to sell us 5 litres each. Result!
We didn't see any but I do love this sign. Beats road works!
A bump in the road provided a nice opportunity for some air :)

I met Basil the owner of Brandberg Rest Camp who rides a Honda Africa Twin and also gives discounts to bikers who stay at his place (50 N$ for camping). He had just returned from a trip down to Langebaan and introduced himself as soon as he clocked my bike. Next thing I know he announces another biker has arrived so we went to introduce ourselves to Vian who also recognised me from my planning a ride post on here and even remembered my name. I'm famous now apparently! hehe
Later that evening we were having dinner and Basil kindly offered to take us on a loop around the Brandberg so naturally Vian and I jumped at the chance. The next morning we set out. I found it quite a technical ride with lots of varying terrain from loose rocks to sand. Probably one of the most challenging days of my trip. I'm definitely getting better!
Quick rest stop :
I'm getting better at sand riding and this stretch of sand was quite tough. Keep the power on and let the bike do its thing. Turning was tough whilst trying to maintain your speed.
We all made it through without stopping which was great :
We stopped for a spot of lunch :
Basil pointed out this rock which is used my the Rhino's as a kind of rubbing stone :
Another rest before we went fo visit the waterfall which was unfortunately not flowing.
We were running low on water so we stopped at this small farm and topped up.
We came across the native Namibian meat tree. No wonder they eat so much meat here!
You can download the GPS Trace of the trip (in GPX format) here :
Thanks again to Basil for an awesome day out. I really recommend you stay with him if you are in the area.

I'm driving 350 km's to Windhoek tomorrow via the C28. Looks like some real nice mountain passes. Should be a great drive. Looking forward to getting on the road again.

great RR, your bike is cool, it reminds me on the local XR200 which I rode for many years in the Philippines, very similar, just the CTX is a bit more prepared for the country side.
Cool to use such a bike. I have done many long trips as well with the XR all over the Philippines. Now I am living in Thailand riding around with my KLX250 and enjoying it.
By next year I will probably move to South Africa or Kenya, not sure yet which makes the run.
Following closely and enjoying it...

KM's so far ~8000.
So after an awesome time riding around Brandberg I wasn't quite ready to head to Swakopmund for Christmas so I took the D1930 past Spitzkoppe to Usakos where I stayed at the Namib Oasis Farm Stall campsite. The food here is quite good but the camp site is right next to the main B2 road and bearing in mind all the people travelling from Windhoek to Swakpopmund I didn't get too much sleep :/ I decided to just head back to Swakop early (on the gravel D1918 of course!) via Henties Bay and pop in to Spitzkoppe.
I should have just camped at Spitzkoppe. Pretty neat place
I think it was only about 20 NAD for a day pass. They let the bike in for free which was nice. I think it was perhaps because I was English and the guy on the gate was a BIG (Chelsea) football fan.
Surprising to find a rock pool in all this heat.
I took the gravel road (D1918) as usual instead of the boring (B2) tar into Henties Bay and then south to Swakopmond. I tried to book into the Desert Sky Backpackers early but they were full and my Christmas booking didn't start until a couple of days later. I stayed at Skeleton Beach Backpackers for a few days and then came back.
I perhaps shouldn't have taken a long break for Christmas in Swakopmund as my Visa expires on the 21st although I imagine a lot of places close up shop so perhaps it was for the best. Some of the Christmas "highlights" include spending Christmas eve trying to sleep in a dorm that someone has puked all over, learning of a fellow dorm occupant doing a runner without paying their bill and getting arrested by the cops (with an expired visa) and generally avoiding very wasted annoying people. heh.
I ate a lot of fish while there and my favourite resturant was the Fish Deli. I must have eaten there over a dozen times! Also worthy of a mention is the Brauhaus where I had an obligatory Stiefel :)
So on the 3rd I set off for Windhoek along the C28. It really is a cracking road and you can really appreciate the slow change from parched desert to lush greenery. You see the plants slowly appear and get bigger the further you drive. Awesome. It really felt great to be on the road again!
I did have some problems though. I hit a particularly large pot hole at speed and bottomed out the bike which in turn ripped some of the plastic from under the mud guard. It wasn't helped by the fact my extra 10L fuel can was full. There's no petrol stations on the C28 and the CTX only has a 8.6 litre tank. I cable tied the plastic back into place and emptied 7 litres into my tank which helped but the tyre was not scuffing against the exhaust when the suspension was compressed. I took it pretty easy on the bumps for the rest of the journey. The problem was figured out when I got the service later...
chrisL on the wild dog forum mentioned a visit to the old German building :
I also took some video which I will hopefully get the time to edit together soon.
I arrived same and sound in Windhoek and stayed at the Chameleon Backpackers over the weekend ready for my 8k service on Monday 6th.

So I took the bike into Honda Windhoek and explained a few of the issues I wanted looking at and was told no problem come back at 2pm. Its quite exciting knowing the bike was going for some TLC. It deserves it after all the abuse I've been giving it in Namibia. The mechanics there seemed very helpful and knowledgeable so I was happy to leave it in their capable hands.
Apparently the spark plug was a bit loose! Can't say I checked it but it did get replaced in Luderitz by the mechanic there. Perhaps he didn't tighten it enough or it vibrated loose. Also the oil was in a bad way apparently but I had it replaced 3k's ago in Luderitz too. Guess I should change it even more often then! I'm now carrying 1.5 litres of castrol 10/40 which they supplied me with and I will change after 2k's.
The main issue with the bike that was causing the back tyre to scuff the exhaust was the fact that one of my back plates was missing. I noticed it was missing after the service in Honda Upington 4.5k's ago! It may have vibrated off but they did adjust the chain then and I wonder if it was perhaps forgotten to be put back on !?! Anyway this combined with hitting the pothole combined with the fact I have a fat E07 on the back cased the scuffing of the exhaust. They bodged a plate together for me and even put a spacer where the exhaust attaches to the frame giving some more room. Good stuff! I wasn't sure that the plate was important when I noticed it was missing and presumed not. I now know!
They also said my air filter was dry implying it wasn't soaked in oiled properly at the last service. I'm not sure myself but on the other hand oil doesn't evaporate as far as I know! Thinking back on it I remember not being that impressed with the mechanics at Honda Upington. I kinda got a bad feeling. Then again I can't be sure these issues were definitely their fault. I bought a spare air filter like we mentioned before and another spark plug. All good.
I forgot to mention before that while on my way to Twyfelfontein I lost my tool kit off the back of the bike :( So I replaced my tool kit in Cymot Windhoek.
Next I headed up to Waterberg National Park on the C/D roads and guess what ? I lost my toolkit AGAIN! FFS! So annoying.
Anyway I arrived in Waterberg and immediately saw lots of wild life. These little fellows popped out of their hole to have a look at their new neighbour. Not sure what they are. Meerkats ?
Camp all setup. I decided to go for the simple hammock without tarp setup today. Only takes about 5 minutes.
Next I took a dip in the pool. Nice!
The next day I hiked to the top. Nice view :
Then some of the shorter trails around the camp.
I got to within about 5 metres of this female klipspringer i think ?
Very cool.
In the afternoon I went on a 4 hour game drive and saw my first Giraffe along with plenty of other game.
The next day I headed down the D2512 towards Tsumeb. Its a really nice quiet gravel road with lush greenery with lots of farms and gates to pass through.
Just outside Grootfontein is the worlds largest meteorite. Just watch your head!
I had to pop by and see it. Very cool!
Now I'm up to date and staying in Mousebird Backpackers. *I like Tsumeb. Its a really nice chilled out town with a couple of good cafe's and lots of greenery. I was hoping to meet up with some other travellers and hitch a lift into Etosha but I'm the only one here! An Austrian turned up earlier and talked about getting a taxi in for a day trip but I will probably just hit the road tomorrow morning. Not sure exactly where I will head but probably towards Oshakati and camp somewhere for a day and start making my way East towards the Caprivi. I could go direct to Rundu but its a long boring road apparently. Any thoughts ?

Letter: Keep going

Keep going
We have been hearing how the project to remove pythons from the Everglades has been progressing and now complete with only 61 or so pythons out of a population of over 100,000.
This does not seem to me to have been anything other than a good publicity stunt for fish and game officials.
There is a novel idea: just put a bounty on them and allow anyone who comes across one to kill it and bring to the fish and game organization and get their bounty. Then you have anyone going into the Everglades looking to bag a $50 or so reward.
The bounty system has worked for hundreds of years. When you require someone to purchase the right to hunt them, only a few will pay.
In the Old West, anyone, including bounty hunters, could capture to kill someone or something for the bounty, but this seems too simple for use — or does it?
If your pet or livestock were killed by another wild animal, what would you do? Isn't it the same for our native species in our own backyard — the Everglades?
