This chair is as good as it looks and very comfortable to sit in.
Lynne from Indianapolis, IN – Verified Buyer
I bought this chair for a show in Community Theatre that we are rehearsing for. The director put out a call for a chair that look something like this one. The picture he use was from another web-site and was well over $100.00 dollars and the shipping brought it to over $150.00. (Which was well over our small budget.) I purchased this chair for under $90,00 and there was 0 shipping. The Director was delighted with the chair and the Actor who sits in it for a long time, says that it's really comfortable. I will all ways check here before purchasing anywhere else. Pros: looks great and very comfortable Cons: none
Everything you need to know...
Davis Teller from Toronto, ON – Verified Buyer
The quality of the stools was top notch. The price was better by far then every where else I looked. The shipping team expedited the order quickly and kept me in the loop every step of the way. All in all, a fantastic experience.
Just what I was hoping for!
Cara from North East, PA – Verified Buyer
I was looking for stools that would fit a table that is not a standard height. These are adjustable so they work perfectly! They take a bit of time to assemble but they are worth it.
Like the stool
zwayz from Dallas, TX – Verified Buyer
We have tall counter top that we had hard time to find bar stools more than 33 inches tall and within our budget. Until we found these stools. They are easy to assemble. We are happy with our purchase.
happy with product
jack from Wise, Va
[...] very happy with productwould refer friends to this site.
Well-built, economical, and extra tall
Anonymous from Tampa, FL – Verified Buyer
This is by far the least expensive bar stool that is high enough for an extra-tall bar surface. The photo is an accurate portrayal--plain/instutional-looking--but painting and/or covering and/or adding cushion (all of the above would still be cheaper than buying a different extra-tall stool) should spruce it up sufficiently.
Great chairs
Lw from los angeles ca – Verified Buyer
so easy to assemble and look great
Great bar stools!
JJ from Iowa City, Iowa – Verified Buyer
These are great bar stools and are a great value. The price is very budget friendly and the product is very good quality. I like that they are so adjustable and the style works great with my decor. I am very happy with this purchase and I would recommend these stools to anyone.

Hobbs from Aliso Viejo – Verified Buyer

Those of you wondering whether or not the original Nexus phone would be getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich can rest not-so-easy with the answer Google's Hugo Barra reportedly given The Telegraph. The Nexus One is apparently too old to receive the upgrade.
We'd imagine the CPU and GPU alongside limited internal memory are Google's main cause of concern considering Ice Cream Sandwich requires a bit more juice than Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread. Not all hope is lost, of course – we know the development community will put forth their best efforts to bring it over and have it run smoothly. And who knows, perhaps it'll inspire Google to do the same. As it stands, only the Nexus S and Prime are getting Ice Cream Sandwich. [via Android Central]

The sys admin's daily grind – Di
Di is All In
The more frequently a command is used, the fewer letters it should have, so the use of twokey commands like ls, mv, and df is second nature. We look at a previously little-known representative of this club, di.
To be fair, I have to admit that many two-letter commands compensate for their compact size with a breathtaking number of parameters. The tool I look at today, Di, is no exception. The name stands for "disk information" – it's a kind df on steroids. Like its role model, Di delivers information about filesystems, but with much more detail, and the output filters are much better.
Figure 1 shows the output from di ‑a, a list of all mounted filesystems, including filesystems that do not exist physically but that the kernel hallucinates into the directory tree. The parameter ‑x lets you specify filesystems you want Di to hide (e.g., di ‑a ‑x proc keeps the /proc entry from being listed). You can also specify multiple filesystems in a comma-separated list:
di ‑a U ‑x proc,tmpfs,fuse

Bus 460 from / to Moscow
I normally prefer trains, but Moscow and 'normally' do not work well together. So for out-of-town excursions I now use coaches – they are modern, comfortable and fast (unless you are caught in the traffic).
No random disorderly seating, you are seated according to your ticket, there is a luggage compartment, there is even a hostess with snacks and tea (don't recommend, honestly - you'll spill it on your knees).
It's 240 roubles one-way, and 40 roubles for the luggage, if you have any.
For the bus station in Moscow go to Vykhino metro station (purple line, southern direction, last stop)
In Kolomna go to Golutvin bus station (NOT the 'Old Kolomna' bus station near the Kremlin!)
The buses go every half-hour, will supply the schedule and the map once – and if - I have time.
- Budget Travel
- Historical Travel
- Singles
Elektrichka (local train)
Take a local train from Kasansky Voksal in Moscow. The journey takes about 2,5 hours one way and costs currently 104 roubles one way to Golytvin. If you want to see the old part of town first, then get off at Kolomna station.
Make sure you look out of the window to your right when approaching the town, so you see where the sights are located.

If I were to make an adjustment, it would be to implement a distant light (simulating outdoor sunlight) to produce some shadows in the desired direction (what compositionally best suits your vision of the image). Right now the reflections are good, but the lighting is too even, and doesn't seem natural for "outdoors". When you implement the distant light, you may also want to reduce the ambient lighting somewhat until you get a pleasing balanced result between shadow and sunlight.

Explore the numerous type options, type-related features, and type-specific preferences of Adobe InDesign. Using practical, real-world examples, instructor and designer Nigel French dissects the anatomy of a typeface and defines the vocabulary of typography. The course moves from the micro to the macro level, addressing issues such as choosing page size, determining the size of margins, adjusting number columns, and achieving a clean look with baseline grids. This course takes you from laying out a page to delving into the hows and whys of typography.
In this chapter we are going to talk about Text Wraps and how to get good quality Text Wraps in InDesign. Starting out with a basic Text Wrap around a bounding box, and that's what I have here. I am going to come to my Text Wrap panel. For all intents and purposes, we have three different types of Text Wrap. And they are, No text wrap, i.e., the picture just lands on top of the text or the text goes on top of the picture; Wrap around bounding box, which is the option we are currently looking at; and Wrap around object shape, which we use when we want to wrap text around in a regular shape.
There are these two other options, Jump object, and Jump to next column. And they are seldom used, but they do this. If I do that it's going to literally jump the whole of the object, and this one would then push all of the text after the Text Wrap into the next column. When you specify a Text Wrap, you also specify its Offset, and that's this value right here. When the chain is unbroken, all four sides of the Offset will be the same. What's tricky about Text Wraps is having the Offset look optically even.
The best way to achieve this and really the only foolproof way to achieve it is to combine your use of Text Wraps with the use of a baseline grid and to make sure that the Text Wrap Offset amount us equal to the baseline grid increment, more on that later. For now, let's just look at the issue of when we are creating a Text Wrap around the straight sided object as we are here, is it best to use left align text or justified text? Well, both can present challenges.
Of course, when you are placing an object within your column, you are narrowing your column. When you on narrowing your column, you are more likely to get uneven word spacing. That problem is probably more noticeable with justified text. However, working with justified text and Text Wraps has one distinct advantage. And that is that it creates a more even wrap around the objects. You'll see over here on the right-hand side the text is left aligned, but in the first column we have a very ragged wrap around the object.
So it's not accentuating the contours of the object. And if I come to my Layers panel, I can turn on this extra layer, and I will turn off layer 1. We can see that those are the different shapes that our Text Wraps are creating, a nice even shape when using justified text, and a ragged shape on one of our four sides when using left aligned text. I am going to move to the next page, and we are going to look at some of the other issues involved.
Let's now have a look at some of the Wrap Options. Typically you want to wrap to both left and right-hand sides, and that's what's going on here. In the case of this image I am using an Alpha Channel, which means that InDesign is using the Alpha Channel that is embedded in the document to determine the shape of the wrap. Now that Alpha Channel is only in there because I, the user, or somebody else, put it in there. Let's just go and take a look at this document in Photoshop.
So I am going to come to my Links panel, and I am going to right-click on that choose Edit With > Photoshop CS6. And there we see the document, and this document has a layer mask included with it, and it's that layer mask that InDesign is recognizing and using to create text wrap offset. If you do not have a layer mask embedded in the document, and you don't feel confident about creating one in Photoshop, you do have the option of choosing Detect Edges, but the result that you will get will be very unpredictable, and unless the image is against a solid and contrasting color with a good deal of contrast around the edges of the image, then the Detect Edges option probably won't give you what you are after.
As well as recognizing an Alpha Channel, InDesign would if there were one in the document recognize a Photoshop Path. So Photoshop Paths and Alpha Channels are two different approaches to cutting out or isolating the image. There may be times when you want to wrap to the left or the right side of the image, and that's what I have done here with our friend Ducky. Because sometimes--and this is one of the things we need to watch out for when using Text Wraps--we can create islands of text that gets stranded around the object.
And there are different ways to avoid this, but a quick fix in this case would be just to choose to wrap to the left side, and that's going to move that text out of the way of the right side of the object. Some other considerations. This is almost always a bad idea, placing an image in a single column of text and then wrapping text around it. And the reason it's a bad idea, and InDesign is not going to stop you from doing it-- in fact, it has one preference that will slightly change the result that you'll get when doing exactly this.
But I would say it's not a good idea because your reader is more likely-- if they were on this line, for example-- they are more likely to go down here to read the next line in this column than jump the image to read across the column. So when you are working with Text Wraps, you are usually working with multiple columns or you are offsetting the image and something like that would be a far more effective treatment.
So there we have the basics of working with Text Wraps, the different types of Text Wraps, setting the Offset amount, determining the Wrap options, and just an aesthetic consideration about not placing an image wholly within a single column of text and then putting a Text Wrap on that image.

What You Can Expect
Upon arrival at Tobruk, Australian stockmen on horseback welcome you to the scenic ranch. Head to Drover's Camp where you learn how to make traditional stockman's tucker: billy tea and damper, both prepared directly on the campfire. Damper is bread cooked on the fire; to make billy tea, the pot is swung around at arm's length so the tea leaves settle on the bottom prior to drinking. Hear about the history of Tobruk and the life of a stockman as you sip your morning tea and snack on damper served with butter and syrup.
After your tea, see the Stockman's Roundup, which highlights the horse riding skills of the stockman and the partnership between stockman and sheepdog. Marvel as they herd a flock of 50 sheep from open field to a small fenced area. Keep your camera ready to snap photos, especially if the dog jumps on the back of a wayward sheep!
Next, watch a demonstration of sheep-shearing, a practice that requires great skill and agility. During the demonstration, listen to the shearer's stories about the craft and how the sheep's fleece is transformed into yarn and cloth. Under the guidance of a veteran, you may even try shearing a sheep yourself.
After all the action, enjoy a tasty lunch of Aussie barbecue with a range of dishes such as succulent steaks, fresh damper rolls, green salad, and a traditional Lamington cake for dessert — delicious!
When you've finished eating, learn from the experts how to throw a boomerang and crack a whip, then give it a try yourself.
In the early afternoon, return to Sydney to end your tour, catching views of the Hawkesbury River Valley and Blue Mountains on your drive.

Our absolute favorite tour of all! Our tour guide was the best and the people at the ranch were awesome! Learning to crack a whip and throw a boomerang was really fun. The food was good. LOVED every aspect of this tour!
April 2015
This was a true Aussie experience, and that's what I was looking for!! From the damper and billy tea to the herding of sheep, it was what I expected and more! I was so glad to be in the smaller group of 18 so that we experienced the ability to crack some whips and throw a boomerang. I enjoyed learning the sheep ranch way of life. Thank you, Viator!

"I was literally stunned," she said. "I just showed him the letter, and said, 'Can you tell me about this? Are you seeing her? What is this?' And he said, 'It's nothing, it's nothing, I'll end it.' ... And then we sat down, and he told me he was having an affair with this woman. It was incredibly painful for me."
Sanford said she gave her husband a chance to explain himself and decided to keep the affair a secret, hinging on his promises to end his relationship and change.
"My first gut instinct was to forgive him, not, not to kick him out. But, I told him immediately that I wanted to reconcile, that I would forgive him, but that it had to be over, and the marriage had to be much better. I wasn't going to go back to more of the same," she said.
Sanford said she was in the dark about the depth of his devotion. Even after Sanford learned of her husband's unfaithfulness, she said the governor pleaded with her to stay with him, but also begged for permission to visit Chapur, whom he called his "soul mate."
"I could never have imagined this. I mean, I could never have even made this up. It never occurred to me that this person I knew, who was actually a fairly grounded person, would be asking me something so morally offensive," Sanford said. "He said, 'Why, why can't you just give me permission?' I said, 'Well, why would I give you permission? I mean, who, who gives their spouse permission to go see their lover?'"
Sanford said her husband thought giving him the OK to see Chapur was a testament to her love, which she called a string of twisted logic.
"He said to me at one point, 'Why don't you just love me.' And I said, 'Well, that's not love. I mean, love has a responsibility,'" she said.
Sanford eventually gave in and Mark Sanford flew to New York with a friend to see Chapur, promising it would be the last time he saw her.
"It was awful," she said. "It just, it ripped me up. To think that he wanted to go be with his lover is just gut-wrenching. There were days when I was a puddle, and I think I was shaking at home, in the bed, just thinking about him even being with her. And the whole two -- I think it was a two-day trip -- I mean, I was nervous the whole time."
Mark Sanford never referred to her as his "soul mate," she told Walters.
By spring 2009, Sanford began to think the damage to their marriage was beyond repair, but continued to keep their marital problems a secret, for the sake of the children and for his political career. But the world was about to find out the truth through a bizarre chain of events.
"I knew he had been having an affair. I didn't know he was in Argentina," she said.
In the face of every political spouse's nightmare, Sanford opted not to stand by her husband's side during his June press conference when he confessed to cheating. Instead, she watched it on TV, like the rest of America.

Born in a small, turn-of-the-century French village, Baby Eugene—whose loving parents were honest farmers of wine, French fries and French bread—came out of the womb with a luscious, full mustache. A freak to some and adored by others, Baby Eugene is now yours to immortalize by sporting this pink SweetBand with pride. Aside from its legend, the band has a unique ability to wick away perspiration, prevent sweat from entering the eyes and make one's forehead appear up to 37% sexier.

Well this is ok for my hair, but not anything too exciting. My hair is very frizzy and curly and it's a real pain to keep those curl in shape. It doesn't do much when I leave my hair to dry naturally (obviously, it's heat activated!) but when I use the dryer it really makes my hair nice and curly. I also noticed lately that when I use a bit of the creme Oleo Relax (for curly hair) it tends to keep my hair nice and as frizzy-free as possible, even when the weather is humid. I am not too sure I will re-purchase to be honest, but if you blow dry your hair all the time, this might not be such a bad product!

I have been using this product for about 2 years and have bought it for my friends every holiday. I cannot express how amazing it is. The fact that using heat on it activates the product makes me feel less guilty about styling my already damaged hair. I constantly dye my hair, from black, to bleach blonde, to bright red, to pastels, back to brown...etc. This will ALWAYS be my go to product and have found it online for literally half the salon price.

After having dyed blonde hair for about 10 years, I decided to dye it brown to make it healthier. However even a big haircut, constant treatments and a decrease in straightening/blow drying left my hair looking dry and lifeless with dead ends. I suffer from hypothyroidism, which drys out my hair a lot and there isn't anything I can do about it - until now!! This product leaves your hair feeling silky without making it greasy, and it doesn't weigh it down. I couldn't say better things about it. I used to use sprays as heat protectants but honestly nothing compares to this. Couldn't say better things about it! <3 :)

My hair is fine, if not cared properly it becomes brittle, I color it every month and use flat iron almost every day. I have been using this product for the last 1.5 months. It is lightweight and doesn't make my hair greasy at all (I use only a walnut-size of it). It has a very pleasant fresh lemony-citrus scent but it doesn't stay more than 30 minutes on my hair.
The first time I used this leave-in treatment I didn't see much of a difference and was a bit disappointed. But after I applied it few times more (around 4-6 times) I started to see that the structure of my hair improved for better and hair started to look healthier and stronger. And now after 1.5 months the difference is really visible (but I started to use it at the same time with elixir ultime, so they both make the difference to my hair). For some reason it works gradually, making my hair better with every application.
I apply it after washing my hair and leave it to dry naturally and at this stage I don't see much of a result. But when I start to straighten my hair with a flat iron, the milk works amazingly, making my hair silkier and smoother.
The only complain is it doesn't keep my hair straight, there are some hair creams that help me not to use flat iron every single day but this one doesn't keep the desired effect. But overall, it is an excellent heat protector, one of the best.

Easy coming
Hair looks piece piece, not like some unidentified mass
Hair looks electrisized, no smoothness
Lacking shine
works good if combined with an additional mask during a shower, but too much hassle and even more expensive

Well where to start? i really like this, it's definitely one of the best heat protectors out there and used with heat is said to strengthen the hair, i don't doubt this! i use this with elixir ultime and a little fekkai glossing creme and my hair look virgin! for being a platinum blonde that's a pretty big achievement, never the less i would definitely buy this again, when i don't use it i find my hair is a little more sensitive! loveeeee

I used to have the worst hair ever. It has multiple textures in it naturally (coarse curly sections and soft straight sections), but a few years ago when I didn't really do anything with my appearance it was straight out wild, tangled mess of way too long hair. When I started taking better care of myself, I began straightening my hair every other day and my stepmom gave me this to protect it. And let me tell you, it does improve your hair over time. My hair is stronger, more manageable, and most of it is very sleek and shiny (I still have coarse sections though, but you cant really do anything about that). Most people think that my hair is naturally straight, because when you use this with styling tools it really makes your hair perfect but natural in appearance. I will continue to buy this product every time it runs out.

I LOVE this product i cannot live without it, it transforms my bleached straw hair into silk! I blow dry my hair with it everyday and it just smells divine quite citrusy. My hair is naturally straight but as it is bleached when i dry my hair it can look quite fluffy and frizzy but when i use this i do not need to use the straightening irons on my hair. I feel my hair is alot stronger when i am using it and i have a lot less breakage. I would describe it as a leave in treatment with added bonus of heat protection against the hair dryer and irons. It is also really nice mixed with any of the elixir ultimes. The only negative about this product is the packaging as when i get to the end i need to cut the tube open to get the rest out and there's a few days worth left in there. I have short hair and use about a 20p size amount everyday and it lasts me around 12-13 weeks.

The Miami Dolphins are oozing with confidence these days. If it's not predicting they will have the best offense in the NFL, it's one of the position groups that top all others. There is a swagger going on in South Florida, tired of watching the new England Patriots take their annual place on top of the AFC East, the Dolphins are out to prove 2013 is their year. Receiver Brian Hartline added to the parade stating the Dolphins have the best pass catching group in the division. With the arrival of speedsters Mike Wallace and Brandon Gibson, and add tight end Dusti Keller, he could be right. "Absolutely, I think we are," Hartline said, via Kevin Patra of NFL.com. "The whole passing game is an advantage of ours." "A lot of (Tannehill's growth) has been the communication and the development between player and coach," Hartline said. "You can see coach (Joe) Philbin coming into his own as well, Mike Sherman feeling just more comfortable as coaching staff. Being able to use all different parts ... we have a lot of new parts. Although very important that we got them, it's also very important that we mesh and work together ... and that is something that we are working on now."

COLUMBUS – The ride is over for the 12-year-old Starkville All-Stars.
On Tuesday, the team took the field against Louisville in an effort to play its way back into the Dizzy Dean State championship game, but was unsuccessful as it lost 15-3.
WINONA – It was a long day of Dizzy Dean competition on Monday for the Starkville 10-year-old All-Stars. After a rain delay in game one, the team did not see action end until around 10 p.m.
In game one, the team defeated Winona 27-11 and it would seem Starkville was on its way to breaking out of the loser's bracket and into the championship series, but it just was not meant to be.
Only one win stands between the Starkville Americans 8-year-olds and the Dizzy Dean South State Championship.
Charlie Williamson knows how important that statement is, but being so young he says it might take a little while for it to sink in for his team.

COLUMBUS – Monday was not the best of days for the Starkville 12-year-old all-star team. With the team only needing one win to put them in the Dizzy Dean championship game, Starkville lost a heartbreaker to Columbus 11-1.
In 2001, Bracky Brett took a job at a small 1A high school just north of Columbus.
Brett was hired by Hamilton High School to be the assistant principal, athletic director and head football coach.
After spending many years as an assistant coach, including an eight year stint at Starkville High School from 1992-2000, Brett found what he describes as the best job he has ever had.
Day two of Dizzy Dean competition is complete for the Starkville American team and the 8-year-olds still find themselves in the driver's seat.
Having won all previous games, Starkville only had one game on day two and it was against a tough Mathiston team. Going into the game coach Charlie Williamson knew it was going to be close, but just how close was yet to be seen.
As Saturday came to a close the Starkville National 8-year-old All-Star team was on a roll.
After dropping the first game of the Dizzy Dean South State Tournament, the team won two straight to setup a Sunday meeting with Eupora. The winning continued as Starkville defeated Eupora 16-8 to keep progressing in the tournament.
WINONA – Starkville took two games on Sunday to continue their stay in Winona for the Dizzy Dean 10-year-old State Tournament.
First up was a ball game with Union County where Starkville came out on top 12-0 to set up a repeat contest with Greenwood.
The bats again showed up in the second game as Starkville defeated Greenwood 17-8.
Mississippi State athletics are on the rise, if the past year's success is any indication.
Most of MSU 15 sports teams saw a good bit of success in the 2012-13 sports year. Several teams had their best teams ever.
MSU put 10 of its teams into the postseason.
After weather cancelled action on day one, the Dizzy Dean 8-year-old State tournament got underway Saturday morning.
Playing their first game was the Starkville Americans team who took the field against the All-Stars from Eupora.
When all action ceased Starkville claimed a 13-5 victory to move forward in the winner's bracket.

TODAY'S SCHEDULE (all times ET)
25 days until Election Day
The second presidential debate moderated by ABC News' Charles Gibson is today!
5 days until the third presidential debate
Realities and analysis headed into Beat Me in St. Louis:
A. "The Labor Department says that employers' payrolls increased by 96,000 overall in September while the unemployment rate held steady at 5.4 percent," according to the Associated Press. This is below the average estimate of 150,000 new jobs expected.
"U.S. businesses added 96,000 jobs to payrolls in September, the government reported on Friday, a weaker-than-expected total that was expected to
sharpen a presidential debate later in the day over the economy's direction," reports Reuters.
But wait … what about that benchmark revision?
"Labor also said that, according to preliminary estimates, the economy added about 236,000 more jobs than previously thought in the year ended March 2004 … ," reports Reuters.
As our ABC News colleague Betsy Stark points out, "the benchmark revision is a number which had always had the capacity to reduce the total number of jobs lost on President Bush's watch."
On the job numbers, Stark says: "This is a weak and disappointing number. Job growth needs to be around 150K a month just to keep up with population growth. This will raise questions about the strength of the recovery."
"The hurricanes probably had some impact on the September number but the Labor Department could not say how big an impact. Not enough, anyway, to change the headline here."
Stark goes on to say that "Saying 580,000 jobs lost under President Bush is not quite as powerful as Kerry's preferred 'one million.' It takes some of the sting out of it."
But the Herbert Hoover bottom line still remains true.
A statement from John Kerry calls the numbers "disappointing," and we bet Nicolle Devenish would agree.
B. With almost no exceptions, national and battleground state polls since the first presidential debate have shown improvement for Kerry. We miss the days when Bartlett/Schmidt/Gillespie/McClellan talking points could attribute any and all Kerry campaign actions and statements to desperation because of sagging poll numbers. Maybe those days will return after tonight … .
C. And/but look at what the Calming Presence tells USA Today , whose Galluping polls show close contests in Wisconsin, Colorado, and New Mexico:
"Karl Rove, Bush's top strategist, said he's not concerned about polls tightening in Wisconsin and Colorado. 'Don't forget, we lost New Mexico and Wisconsin and won Colorado in 2000. We're going to be fine,' he said." LINK
D. The New York Times Nagourney and Stevenson — reflecting a media CW about the president's campaign — write: LINK
" … (T)he scathing indictment that Mr. Bush offered of Mr. Kerry over the past two days — on the eve of the second presidential debate and with polls showing the race tightening — took … (his) attacks to a blistering new level. In the process, several analysts say, Mr. Bush pushed the limits of subjective interpretation and offered exaggerated or what some Democrats said were distorted accounts of Mr. Kerry's positions on health care, tax cuts, the Iraq war and foreign policy … ."

... your opinion is possibly based on the perspective you've been exposed to via your close affiliation to one young gun who (in the past perhaps) always had a tendency to (want) go fast all the time
From that point on, their daily re-start position is purely based on their daily results... If fastest on the day... start first - that is fair and equitable (even though in the general classification they will be a long way down, because of the max time penalty).
That's how I see it.
Ha , ha, you guys have it spot on, but what else would I expect?
Safety for all is paramount and as you rightly say it's a two way thing - nothing more brutally demonstrated late this summer!
It's great to see the other perspectives and I can assure you that even for the young gun in question the dangers are more than appreciated.
The advice and guidance from his own team leaders is "time, no rush and no pressure", but at 23 with a potential career ahead as a professional sportsman (any sport) coupled with the relaising draem of riding for a living, the temptation to prove oneself may sometime a very difficult thing to manage.
It is being managed without a doubt and I suspect the positioning on the last two stages in Morocco demonstrates that - A year ago we would have one stage win and one DNF
I expect we will see a new level of maturity in the Dakar and with the one strike and your out rule" none of the reseeding issues.
As for reseeding and with such a rider mix in rally, the system without doubt needs to be considered as the sport develops at it has done over recent years. Although perhaps my perspective has been clouded and in reality it doesn't prove to be an issue too often?
By the nature of rally it is unlikely that the elite will ever be, or ever want to be, separated from non elite into a professional circuit and that remains the pure and true spirit of the sport, but of course you never know - although the money required and the commerial benefit from it would render it highly unlikely?
The responsibilities do lie with all the riders and even in F1 this year we have seen inexperience and enthusiasm create mayhem and risk!
Some changes are perhaps needed for the "new money" and motives and maybe a bit more than unwritten expectations on varying circumstances within the rally now that you are seeing the sport develop the way it is; but as you elude there is a massive level of personal responsibility involved and and most certainly a different riding culture from that of the holeshot mx world, one that has to be quickly learnt by any and all newcommers for the sake of all involved.
Cheers guys
Just as a footnote, I played competative rugby for a lot of my life, I learn't also at an early age that the more aggressive you were the more it could hurt
Generally I stick to golf now, at least with my shite (relatively) skills and the handicap system I can play with the best and nobody is going to get seriously injured when I do - well that may not stictly be true, but that's another story

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 11/2/12
Rajon Rondo was called for a flagrant foul during the Miami Heat's win over the Boston Celtics after he wrapped Dwyane Wade up to prevent him from walking in for a layup. It was somewhat of a hard foul as Rondo certainly wasn't playing the ball, and Wade ripped Rondo after the game and called it a "punk play." Not surprisingly, Rondo saw it differently. In fact, he thinks Wade's complaints are a bit hypocritical. "I don't think it was a hard foul," the Celtics guard said according to WEEI.com. "He sold it a little bit, and that's basketball. They were up, he drove to the hole and I didn't want to give up a layup. Simple as that. I didn't yank him down or dirty plays that you've seen him play in the past, so that's what it is." Rondo has a point. Whether the foul was out of line or not, Wade has quietly become one of the dirtier players in the NBA. In last year's NBA playoffs, he completely laid out Darren Collison of the Pacers when Collison had a clear path to the basket. D-Wade also broke Kobe Bryant's nose last year with a hard foul — in an All-Star game no less. Compared to some of the dirty plays Wade has committed in the past, Rondo's foul was nothing. Wade said he is going to remember it next time the Heat and Celtics play each other. One has to wonder if that's going to be his excuse for yet another dirty play.
