By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Anyone who knows me well knows I have a thing for dogs. While I only raise a certain breed, I love them all. Dogs are some of my best friends. I often tell people I like dogs more than many people; they are more loyal, honest and sincere than much of the human race.
Dogs have a lot to give. If you are important to them, they love you no matter what. They don't care if you brushed your teeth this morning, haven't taken a shower in a week or if you got up on time to open the office. They could care less if you have disgusting habits or even immoral ones. They are the most forgiving creatures in the world; but they also have long memories, particularly about certain things. If you yell at them in the morning they won't remember it that afternoon, but they will remember where you put their favorite ball a week ago because they were tearing up the house chasing after it.
Some people fear dogs, and for good reason. While I am sure some are scared of dogs because of a phobia, most fear them because of a bad close encounter. But in most cases, unless a dog is sick or scared, the reason they do bad things are because of their most common human contacts. Dogs can be trained to be mean and vicious; just like people. And training them to be so is a matter of the example their masters display.
Dogs can also look scary, even when they aren't mean. Many of the dogs I raise have light blue eyes that seem to look right through you. I've had some people tell me they look like wolves. I tell them my dogs have no more genetic connection to wolves than a Yorkie. Besides wolves have yellow eyes.
And have you ever looked into the eyes of a house cat or birds that are raised in cages? They have just as scary eyes, in fact they are more alien than a dog's peepers.
Dogs are animals; and while they have been domesticated for thousands of years, they are not people. Some humans get confused about that and count their dogs as their children. There is nothing wrong with that, but keeping perspective about dogs, and what they are, is important. And that is the point of this column.
There are those that would put an end to dogs doing what they love to do. These people would have all dogs treated the same; over indulged, over fed and over protected. Different breeds love different kinds of activities. Many small dogs are lap dogs and love the warmth of the house and their soft bed. Sporting dogs and working dogs are not generally the kinds of dogs you want to keep cooped up in an apartment; yet some people think these kinds of dogs should be kept in the same kind of circumstances as a Chihuahua. It's like telling a person who loves the outdoors that they must stay in a shopping mall day in and day out.
I hate, yes hate, people who mistreat dogs. Mistreatment to me is a dog that never gets any human contact, that doesn't get fed regularly and is often without water to drink. Beating dogs is also mistreatment. But disciplining them is not. I have learned over the years that if you use positive reinforcement with a dog for their good behaviors, and try to ignore their bad ones, you can get a lot of mileage. But with active dogs that isn't always the only answer. At times, even the best of dogs need a stern master.
A recent study in Great Britain showed that 60 percent of dogs in that country are overweight. Surely, if it is true in the British Isles, than it is also true in the United States too. To me, that too, is a kind of mistreatment; fat on a dogs body is just as critical to their health as it is to humans.
Personally, I never think of the dogs that live at my place as being owned by me. Sure I may have paid for the privilege of having them in my life, and I have provided their food and their health care. I am responsible for them, but in many ways I need them more than they need me. But dogs are themselves and they are what they are. They are part of my family, without being my kids. They give love and they get love. And when one passes on, it is a big deal at our house. A pall of darkness hangs over the kennel and our home for days after. That is when you evaluate your lifestyle and question whether you want to go through the act of death again, because inevitably, you will.
But the love of dogs makes it all worth it. You just can't get away from that dog love.

Release Date: May 1, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Fluid Culture Series presented by the University at Buffalo Humanities Institute -- the folks who floated a fully made bed in the Commercial Slip last fall -- will mount a downtown "Tactical Sound Garden" designed by Mark Shepard, associate professor of architecture and media study.
The downtown waterfront "garden" will be open at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 4-5. Those who wish to participate should bring an Android mobile phone to the Buffalo Waterfront Canal Side pedestrian bridge at the entrance to the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park.
All Fluid Culture events are free and open to the public and everyone is welcome.
The Tactical Sound Garden (TSG) is an open source software platform used to cultivate public "sound gardens" in contemporary cities. Drawing on the culture of urban community gardening, it offers a participatory environment to explore social interaction within a technologically mediated space.
Using a mobile phone running TSG software, participants will "plant" sounds at spots within an audio environment situated along the Buffalo waterfront. These sounds were produced by local sound artists at a workshop held this spring at Squeaky Wheel Media Arts Center.
These "plantings" are mapped onto the coordinates of a specified urban space. Wearing headphones connected to a TSG-enabled device, participants will drift though virtual sound gardens as they move through that space, listening, altering ("pruning") or "planting" new sounds of their own selection.

Hypercalcemia is an unusually high level of calcium in the blood. Hypercalcemia can be life threatening and is the most common metabolic disorder associated with cancer, occurring in 10% to 20% of people with cancer. Although most of the calcium in the body is stored in the bones, about 1% of the body's calcium circulates in the bloodstream. Calcium is important for many bodily functions, including bone formation, muscle contractions, and nerve and brain function.
Relieving side effects, also called symptom management, palliative care, or supportive care, is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you may experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
The symptoms of hypercalcemia often develop slowly and may be very similar to the symptoms of cancer or cancer treatments. The seriousness of symptoms is often unrelated to the actual level of calcium in the blood, and many patients have no symptoms at all. Older patients usually experience more symptoms than younger patients.
Patients and their families should be familiar with the symptoms of hypercalcemia and report any symptoms to their health care team. Treatment not only improves symptoms, but also improves quality of life and may make it easier to complete cancer treatment. However, it is important to understand that unless there is effective treatment for the underlying cancer, hypercalcemia suggests that a patient is approaching the last weeks of life.
People with hypercalcemia may experience the following symptoms:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation and abdominal pain
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Fatigue, weakness, and muscle pain
- Changes in mental status, including confusion, disorientation, and difficulty thinking
- Headaches
- Depression
Severe hypercalcemia may lead to kidney stones [a painful condition in which salt and minerals form solid masses (stones) in the kidneys or urinary tract], irregular heartbeat, or heart attack. Potentially severe effects of hypercalcemia include loss of consciousness and coma.
The level of calcium in the blood is controlled by many factors, including parathyroid hormone (a hormone released by the parathyroid glands) and the kidneys (which remove excess calcium from the blood). Cancer can cause high levels of blood calcium in different ways:
- Cancers that affect the bone directly (such as multiple myeloma or leukemia) or cancers that commonly spread to the bone (such as breast cancer) cause the bone to break down, releasing excess calcium into the blood.
- Some tumors produce a protein that acts very similar to parathyroid hormone and causes the bone to release calcium into the blood.
- Some cancers affect the ability of the kidneys to remove excess calcium from the blood.
- Dehydration caused by nausea and vomiting makes it difficult for the kidneys to remove calcium from the blood properly.
- Lack of physical activity can cause bone to break down, releasing calcium into the blood.
The cancers most likely to cause hypercalcemia include breast cancer, lung cancer, and multiple myeloma. Other cancers that may cause hypercalcemia include some types of lymphoma and leukemia, as well as kidney cancer, head and neck cancers, and gastrointestinal cancers.
Diagnosis and treatment
To diagnose hypercalcemia, your doctor will perform a blood test to check the level of calcium. You may also receive other blood tests to check kidney function. Patients with mild hypercalcemia who have no symptoms are treated with extra fluids, usually given through a vein, which help the kidneys remove excess calcium. Patients with moderate or severe hypercalcemia can be treated in different ways:
- Treating the underlying cancer
- Replacing fluids (that were lost through vomiting, frequent urination, etc)
- Administering medications to help stop the breakdown of bone, including bisphosphonates [such as risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia), ibandronate (Boniva), or alendronate (Fosamax), and intravenous bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid (Reclast, Zometa) and pamidronate (Aredia)], calcitonin (Miacalcin), plicamycin (Mithracin), and gallium nitrate (Ganite)
- Administering steroid medications, which decrease the breakdown of bone and the uptake of calcium from food in specific cancers, such as lymphoma. However, steroids may increase the risk of osteoporosis and the breakdown of bone in some situations. Talk with your doctor about whether a steroid medication is the best treatment for you.
- Using dialysis (a mechanized filtering process that removes excess waste from the blood) to treat patients with kidney failure
Patient considerations
In addition to getting treatment from your doctor, the following tips can help prevent hypercalcemia or prevent it from becoming worse:
- Drink fluids
- Control nausea and vomiting
- Walk and be active, which helps prevent bone from breaking down
- Check with your doctor before taking any medications, as some may make hypercalcemia worse
Note: In people with cancer, hypercalcemia is not related to having too much calcium in the diet, so reducing calcium intake by eating fewer dairy products and other high-calcium foods does not help to resolve the condition.

RUSSELL Faced with a roughly $800,000 budget gap, the Edwards-Knox Central School Board is considering eliminating some sports, summer band, three teaching assistant jobs and a variety of other items.
The districts school board has already identified $271,598 worth of cuts from the proposed 2014-15 budget and meets again Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m. to continue number crunching before adopting a spending plan.
School Board President Randy R. VanBrocklin said that like other north country school districts, Edwards-Knox is faced with increasing expenses and inadequate state aid funding.
Preserving programs that most directly impact students is a top priority, he said.
This board doesnt want to make cuts, Mr. VanBrocklin said. Everything we do, we consider the impact on students. This school board is working really hard.
The district will be receiving $511,318 more in state aid next school year, a 6 percent increase over this year, based on the state budget adopted this week. The figure does not include building aid.
The first round of cuts totaled $271,598. The largest savings came from cutting a business teacher, $72,501; reducing a Spanish teacher to part time for a $38,977 savings, and reducing the agriculture teaching position to half time for $40,329 cost savings, a special education teacher, $38,400 and a teaching assistant, $29,089.
A list of 30 items are identified on the second round of cuts that will be reviewed Tuesday by the board. The cuts total $287,975 and are listed on the schools website.
They include swimming, golf, junior varsity cheerleading, summer band, and fifth- and sixth-grade basketball, distance learning and drivers education.
Job cuts include reducing the librarian job to half time, eliminating a part-time Spanish position, three teacher assistant jobs, an interpreter job and a math coach.
Voters will head to the polls May 20 to vote on the 2014-15 budget and fill two, five-year term school board seats.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
If there was ever an historic election, the election of 1940 was it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt had been President of the United States since 1932, working through the worst years of the depression. He had battled back a challenge in the 1936 election to remain President.
In 1940, he was faced with a decision. Should he run for an unprecedented consecutive third term or should he allow someone else to take over an economy that was slowly improving and face an impending war effort that everyone but the most avid isolationist could see was coming.
Reportedly, early in the year he had made the decision not to run and told other potential Democratic candidates that they should look toward being nominated. However, this all changed in the spring when Roosevelt saw what was going on in Europe. The Nazi Army poured into France and drove the allied forces off the beaches of Dunkirk and onto the British Isles. That fall the Battle of Britain had begun. This and the fact that Democratic leaders feared that he was the only one who could keep the Republicans at bay sent his hat into the ring.
His opponent in the election was Wendell L. Willkie, and industrialist who had little government experience. He became the compromise candidate due to a fight for parts of the Republican party between Thomas Dewey of New York, Robert Taft of Ohio and Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan. All were strong in certain areas, but had some great weaknesses, too. This led to Willkie being the candidate to face Roosevelt. Willkie had been a strong critic of Roosevelt's economic policies and his plans to break up some industries as well as to put government in competition for electrical generation with the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Locally, the Sun Advocate reported for months about the upcoming campaign and the local and state offices that were open. Of statewide note was the candidacy of local man Reese M. Reese for State Auditor. In 1936, he had been elected the State Treasurer, the highest state office ever attained by a Carbon County citizen. So his run for the State Auditor's position was a surprise.
On election day the Democrats in the country again took many of the prizes home. Roosevelt defeated Willkie by five million popular votes nationwide and took the electoral college vote 449 to 82. Reese was also successful in his bid for the state position. Carbon county came out in big numbers for the local man and in Carbon alone the count was 5,637 to Republican Walter Day's 1,706 votes.
"Out of the avalanche of votes that were cast in Carbon County Tuesday came a clear mandate to the Democratic Party to 'carry on' for at least another two years," stated the Sun Advocate on Nov. 7. "The highest vote in the county's history was recorded, as approximately 7,400 citizens cast their ballots, 1,000 more than four years ago, the highest vote total up to that time."
The paper reported some interesting things went on during the election.
In Price the Chief of Police wore a pro-Willkie badge around town on election day as he interacted with people.
Marion Bliss, the standing Carbon County Sheriff, was elected once again, becoming the only Republican the be elected in the county during that election.
The Central Price voting district did not report its ballots until noon on the day after the election because the voting in that district was so heavy.
Some voters got mixed up on voting procedures and ended up voting for both candidates for president. This caused their ballots to be invalid.
Two Carbon County commission seats were up for grabs, too. At the time one of the seats on the commission was a two year term seat and the other two were four year seats. The two year seat was taken by "Bry" Miller over W.E. McIntire and the four year seat went to J. Orvel Peterson who beat out Bert Bunnell. The county attorney's job went to Edward Sheya.
It was an unprecedented election, one in which the country met trepidation about the future with bravery. While no one would say it, the war in Europe and Asia was on everyone's mind and many knew eventually the United States would be drawn into it in some way, at some time.

OGDENSBURG Proposed changes to St. Lawrence Countys five-year financial plan has the verbal support of some city leaders.
City Council members discussed the countys plan to use a 1 percentage point sales tax increase for further reductions in property taxes at Monday nights council meeting.
It looks like theyre looking to reduce the property tax even further, Mayor William D. Nelson said. I think these are the kind of changes we can support.
The county Board of Legislators wants to increase its sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total with the states 4 percent to 8 percent. To improve its argument before state Sens. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, and Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, the county prepared a plan showing how it could stabilize property taxes with the additional revenue.
The first year of the plan called for a potential property tax decrease of 14.3 percent. For 2013, county lawmakers approved a tax levy increase of 14.4 percent, so the proposal would cut taxes to where they were last year. However, the plan in subsequent years calls for modest tax levy increases.
The plan was sent back to the drawing board after Mrs. Ritchie argued it did not lower property taxes enough.
City Manager John M. Pinkerton said any alterations to the plan would not affect the percentage of tax Ogdensburg receives.
It holds the city the same if and when the sales tax increases, he said. Our portion remains fixed.
Under a 2009 agreement with the city of Ogdensburg, the county keeps half of what it collects in sales tax and distributes what is left to towns and villages after the city takes its cut of 6.4 percent. Ogdensburg would not receive an increase in the percentage it receives under the countys plan, but the city would take in more money overall because more sales tax revenue would be collected.
Ogdensburgs council supported the original five-year plan after meeting with county legislators in January. Mr. Nelson said the proposed changes would not require a new resolution of support.
Basically, what they were looking for was consensus, he said. It wasnt a legally binding contract.
Councilor William D. Hosmer, an opponent of the sales tax increase, remained skeptical.
This will be the fourth plan they have submitted, he said. Hopefully, this time theyll finally reduce the property taxes.

HAMMOND – While the final cut has not yet been released, residents can catch a preview of a video that will be used to promote the St. Lawrence-Thousand Island region on the Internet.
A 3 1/2 minute teaser video on the video sharing website YouTube features candid portraits into summer life on the St. Lawrence River.
In Hammond, Singer Castle, Chippewa Bay and Crossover Island Lighthouse are just a few sights captured on film.
But the video is not without its criticisms. Three camerica shots featured in the preliminary video depict commercial wind turbines, drawing fire from anti-wind supporters.
If British Petroleum and Iberdrola have their way, this view will contain over three hundred, five hundred foot turbines that will become the major feature of this awesome place [sic], Richard Wiley Sr. commented on the website.
One viewer suggested the videos producers had aligned themselves with commercial wind corporations.
But Town Supervisor Ronald W. Bertram says that the videos are meant solely to promote the area, and are not in the interest of promoting any particular group be they for or against commercial wind development. The video, Mr. Bertram said, will be used to help the region as a Scenic Area of Statewide Significance designation, opening the doors to state grant funding to spur economic development.
SASS may provide resources to perhaps suggest what type of development would suit a particular area, Mr. Bertram said. But this designation doesnt impose any additional regulations unless the town wishes to do so. Its up to the town to set those kinds of regulations.
The production took about four days to shoot and cost Hammond over $5,000. Funding for the DVDs will come from the towns general fund.
While the final video, produced by a Thousand Island Reflections and the McLellan Group, was due in mid-August, Mr. Bertram says its production has been delayed.
Mr. Bertram said when he receives the final cut, the footage should be about two to three hours in total.
This was a very professionally done, he said. Our economic development group will look over the footage before certain images are sent to our SASS consultant for our application portfolio.
The video can be found online at www.youtube.com/watch?v=YziwZF8ViUU.

Boy, 9, fires gun in Orlando police officer's home
No injuries reported in accidental shooting, police say
An 9-year-old fired a gun inside a closet at the home of an Orlando police officer Monday morning, but no one was injured, officials said.
Orlando police said the 9-year-old was visiting the residence of Officer Thomas O'Day and wandered into the master bedroom, where he found the Diamond Back .380-caliber handgun in the closet and fired one bullet into the wall.
The boy, who police identified as the son of O'Day's girlfriend, was not injured.
A review will be completed, which is protocol with an incident involving an OPD employee.
The gun involved was a personally owned gun and not one belonging to the department, police said. O'Day has been employed with the department since 2000.
Police said the child was visiting the residence and the fact that they were able to find the gun was unforeseeable, citing a Florida Statue, which kept the officer from being arrested or charged.

Injury Report: Po'uha, Hill, Keller to Miss Out Again?
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
It would probably be quicker to provide you with a list of who isn't injured, but here's Lisa's update from Jets RapidReports on twitter (@cbsjets):
#Jets Conner (hamstring), S. Hill (hamstring), Keller (hamstring), and Po'uha (back) listed as doubtful for MNF against #Texans … Berry (ribs), McKnight (illness), Scott (toe), E. Smith (hip, knee), Thomas (hamstring) questionable …
It's looking likely that Damon Harrison, Lex Hilliard, Jason Hill and Jonathan Grimes will all make their Jets debuts on Monday. Caleb Schlauderaff and Greg McElroy could end up being active for the first time all year too.

Is it an IDE hard drive? What other OS is on it now?

my hardware configuration is
via 845 motherboard , (His manufacturer)
cel 2.13 ghz cpu
512 Ram , color monitor
after booting when i press enter , it checks hardware probe my monitor well ditect mouse and after that it gets hang.
when i tried with linux text , it goes ahead of monitor probing but it gives error while hard disk partitioning .i even tried with auto and manual partitioning but it says you /boot partition can not be boot or any other such kind of error message.
pl tell me how to go
thanks and regards
Is it an IDE hard drive? What other OS is on it now?
Can you please write down the exact error that you mentioned?
that distro is really quite old (3 yrs). It may be helpful to get a newer version - like fedora core 4 or ubuntu... it sounds like it does not like the ide controller
telnet mtrek.game-host.org 1701
I didnt think it is problem with ide disk , bcause windows 2000 is working fine .
also it gets stuck after probing monitor , so there is not any problem with hard disk.
as far as error , there is no such written error like windows.
thks regds
I think PBHarris means that the software for the IDE controller included on Red Hat 9 is 5 years old by now; the issue you are experiencing might be a bug on it and it may have been fixed on newer versions.Originally Posted by pansarevaibhav

As much as many people do not like change, we are being catapulted into change head first; and this is an amazing thing. If you want a new life, you need to be willing to have a new life. This means letting go of everything you knew to make room for the new truths in your life. The reality is that more than likely the old truths that you have known your whole life don't belong in the new consciousness that we are experiencing as a planet. Old paradigms just are not giving us the satisfactions that they once did.
We are into the age of Aquarius and with that transition comes the need for new spirituality. There is a spiritual awakening upon us and the old ways no longer are a comfortable fit. We have the consciousness now to manifest our biggest and wildest dreams and keep manifesting along the way to make it even better.
Spirituality and healing go hand in hand. I've had 20+ years of spirituality and health research under my belt, as well as a degree in psychology. I've owned wellness centers where I've had the privilege of seeing firsthand how consciousness can catapult healing in the body to bring about almost instant miracles. This is true spiritual healing where the mind heals the body and the body heals the mind while spirit winds through both. I've been able to see people discover spiritual gifts they never knew they had.
I've read thousands upon thousands of spiritual books and self help books and listened to hundreds of audios both from the past and present times. I've studied religions and lived in a Buddhist temple. I've traveled the world seeking out spiritual leaders and sought out spiritual relationships. Most importantly, I've gained a deeper understanding of my own spirituality. It is my intention that my articles will engage your heart, your mind and your spirit. I teach how to live a spiritual life in this fantastically material and kinetic world. I offer tips and tricks to help you expand more on your path to spiritual awakening.
I talk about spiritual growth, spiritual transformation, confidence, spiritual wellness, spiritual awakening, manifesting, the science of the mind, spiritual enlightenment, mindfulness exercises, action, living your path, and how to calm that little voice that tries to pull you back into chaos. Read your way through my site, sign up for my newsletter, download my mini books, and engage with me. I want to hear from you and learn from you as well.

Facing Blindness Alone 2013
Our campaign report 'Facing Blindness Alone' reveals between 2005 and 2013, there has been a 43 per cent decline in the number of blind and partially sighted people in England getting even the most basic types of council support - down from 55,875 people to 31,740, nearly 25,000 fewer people.

How local authorities can work with blind and partially sighted people to build a better future. We've worked with the Office for Public Management to produce a report that shows how councils can deliver services that meet their residents' needs by aiming for three simple goals: Delivering a "bedrock" of preventative and rehabilitative services; Working in partnership with and involving blind and partially sighted people in the community; Embedding accessibility through simple steps such as recording residents' preferred communications format. We want to see an end to missed opportunities by councils in the provision of services for blind and partially sighted residents. After all, who wouldn't want a quick win?

Lost and found 2009
'What would you lose from your life, if you lost your sight?' Every week in the UK, hundreds of people who have been able to see begin to lose their sight. Some are children, some are in work and many are retired. This report from Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) gives a glimpse into the everyday lives of people who have lost their sight. Their stories reveal the realities of living with sight loss and the frustration and isolation that often follows. Research confirms that the personal experiences shared in this report are also those of many thousands of others. In this report, people speak about the ignorance and misunderstanding of blindness and partial sight by friends, family, professionals and the public at large. They talk about their own feelings of depression and despair. However, despite their inner turmoil, their resilience and determination to get on with their lives shines through.
Cost Oversight? 2008
In 2004 RNIB published research that put the total cost of sight loss at £4.9 billion in 2001-2002. This was a first attempt to demonstrate the direct costs of services provided by Government but also indirect costs, such as independent living support provided by family and friends of blind and partially sighted people. Recognising the importance of a strong and up-to-date evidence-base to support the implementation of the UK Vision Strategy in 2008, RNIB commissioned new research into the costs of eye disease and sight loss. In addition, RNIB has produced a campaign report that explains the key findings in an easily accessible way and includes calls to action based on these findings.
Open your eyes 2006
A call for action to address the UK's impending eye health crisis. We are closing our eyes to a simple fact: with the ageing of the population sight loss will become a major public health issue. It is up to us to prevent it from turning into a crisis. We need action now to prevent avoidable and unnecessary sight loss and provide adequate support for those who have lost their sight.

A question of independence 2005
This report describes the findings of a survey of low vision service providers and primary care organisations in the UK conducted in 2004/5 on behalf of AMD Alliance UK and RNIB. The results show that efforts to improve services need to continue, particularly in relation to the level of funding, the degree of multi-disciplinary working, channels used to raise awareness of existing services to the general public and the quality of services. The survey provides a wealth of information that is being discussed in detail in the body of the report.

Ashes 2013-14: Who's on the plane to Australia?
Test Match Special's commentators and pundits selected their England tour party for this winter's Ashes series in Australia while the rain fell during the final Test at The Oval.
Former England batsman Ed Smith chaired the selection panel, which contained ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan, former England spinner Phil Tufnell and ex-Australia batsman Damien Martyn - and they picked a 17-strong squad, working on the assumption that England will also take a second-string Lions squad to Australia as back-up.
Have a look at their selections - and pick your tour party using the comments facility.
The top five in the current Test side and wicketkeeper Matt Prior were all unanimous choices - leaving the selectors to discuss the number six position, with a reserve batsman and a reserve keeper also needed.
MV: Looking ahead to the first Test at Brisbane, you know what the surface will be like, it's not changed for 20 years. It will be a hammer blow to James Taylor, but I'd go with Gary Ballance, who has scored 959 first-class runs at 63 this season, at number six. People will say "Yorkshire bias", but he's a class act off the back foot and I like a left-hand option in the middle order. And Jonny Bairstow as reserve keeper.
Michael Vaughan Former England captain
"I want players who will be involved in all formats, which is why I want Ballance"
PT: Michael Carberry's earned his chance, but for me, Nick Compton has deserved another go - he's scored runs recently, take him on the tour. And Bairstow as the replacement keeper.
MV: I'd have Carberry as back-up batsman. With the Root-Cook situation at the top of the order, if there's a problem there or if Cook gets injured, Carberry would play - and he can bat in the middle order as well.
ES: If Carberry is in the squad, is there a place for James Taylor? He doesn't have a big advocate that is making his case all the time [in the media].
PT: Or do you stick a youngster in there to get them involved?
MV: I want players who will be involved in all formats, which is why I want Ballance. With respect to Taylor, he wasn't even on England's radar when they picked that Twenty20 squad against New Zealand that was nearly a second XI.
Selected: Alastair Cook (capt), Joe Root, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Gary Ballance, Michael Carberry, Matt Prior (wk), Jonny Bairstow (wk)
Spin bowlers
With Graeme Swann an automatic pick, who should be the second spinner?
ES: I'm very reluctant not to take Simon Kerrigan on the full tour. If you play in the final Test of a summer and only bowl eight overs, is that enough for England to decide to drop him?
MV: Kerrigan's got to get away from this environment for a while. I'm sure he could be Graeme Swann's replacement in time, but I think he needs to go back and work with Lancashire and the England Lions. He's a work in progress.
Ed Smith Former England batsman
"I don't want to burden Monty Panesar with a full England tour as he needs to get himself back together"
DM: I'd go with Monty Panesar. I'd love to see him play if they go with two spinners.
MV: Swann's replacement, if he got an injury on the morning of the game, should be James Tredwell. Monty would be with the England Lions squad in Australia as I'd need to know whether he's right or wrong. They need to find out more about him - if he goes well, you could bring him into the squad.
ES: I'm a big admirer of Tredwell, I've played a lot of cricket with him and he's the sort of player who will always get on a plane, turn up for you and never let you down. But what if you get a big turning wicket anywhere?
PT: I don't think you're going to play two spinners in any of the Tests, so you don't need a left-arm and right-arm spinner. I'd go with Tredwell - take Kerrigan with the Lions squad. Tredwell's never let anyone down.
ES: I might even take three spinners, but I don't want to burden Panesar with a full England tour as he needs to get himself back together and get bowling for the Lions.
MV: Tredwell's almost jumped ahead of Swann in one-day cricket, and he can bat a bit. Adil Rashid's had a good year for Yorkshire, but he's not done enough. A leg-spinner might be a nice luxury to bowl at the other end from Swann, but he's not ready yet.
Selected: Graeme Swann, James Tredwell (with Monty Panesar and Simon Kerrigan to go on the Lions tour)
Pace bowlers
James Anderson and Stuart Broad are automatic choices - but which other seamers should join them?
DM: I'd love to see Chris Tremlett steaming in, he did well in Australia last time. I think both sides in this series will have great attacks.
MV: I'm sure Tim Bresnan will be fit. My first-choice attack would be Anderson, Broad, Bresnan and Swann, with the back-up being Tremlett, Finn, Onions and Tredwell.
DM: I think you need six fast bowlers, whether they're part of the squad or with the Lions elsewhere in Australia where they're only a short flight away.
MV: They can have a look at Tremlett to see if he's bowling well in the warm-up games. And if Finn's not playing in the Tests, he could be sent to the Lions for practice.
Selected: James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Tim Bresnan, Chris Tremlett, Steven Finn, Graham Onions
What about the Aussies?
Damien Martyn was then asked to pick his Australia XI for the first Test at Brisbane...
DM: I would recall Phillip Hughes at number five, with Steve Smith moving down to six, where I think he can bat more freely. I don't want Brad Haddin batting at six - it never worked for us with Adam Gilchrist at six. There will be a lot of one-day cricket before then, such as the one-day series in India, but I hope Hughes can get some first-class cricket in. Shaun Marsh is making runs so I think he'll be around the squad, but Usman Khawaja needs to go back to first-class cricket and make runs.
MV: Hughes has actually topped the tour averages, from all games. And Sam Robson could play for either team!
DM: The bowling attack would be Lyon, Siddle, Harris and Starc, although maybe Mitchell Johnson will be around the set-up. I think James Pattinson's injury will rule him out, but if he's fit I'd have him in ahead of Starc. Fawad Ahmed could have a chance at some stage, but I don't think we'll play two spinners.
Selected: Chris Rogers, David Warner, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke (capt), Phillip Hughes, Steve Smith, Brad Haddin (wk), Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Ryan Harris, Nathan Lyon
Comment number 243. Posted by laceysdadon 26 Aug 2013 21:44
Anglophone (235). Bresnan was fast enough on last Aus tour! But I doubt that he will be fit in time for this trip. No obvious sub in a 4-man attack. We all would like to see 5 bowlers but, as Atherton said, the top 6 batters should be in the top 4 for their counties & there is no one who is a half-decent bowler. Bairstow to succeed Prior? But needs lots of w/k practice with Yorks/Lions
Comment number 242. Posted by Nickon 26 Aug 2013 19:48
Root will do very well indeed opening on Aussie pitches. Bairstow is the best possible back-up for Prior and might well again thrive in Oz. Bresnan - I just don't get the opposition to him. Sure, he's not likely to get masses of wickets, but the ones he does get are almost always key ones, he keeps an end very tight, he can contribute useful runs and Engand win when he plays. He has to go if fit.
Comment number 241. Posted by RHGon 26 Aug 2013 17:26
Decent choice by the four pundits, but 'back-up' players should surely have age on their side. Hence I'd prefer Compton to Carberry and Briggs or Rashid to Treadwell. Root and Pietersen offer additional spin alternatives. England will also benefit from the fickle Aussie 'fans', who will turn against their team as` soon as things go wrong for them (which they will). Eng to win 3-1.
Comment number 240. Posted by Jamieon 26 Aug 2013 17:15
Root must go. Granted, he has had a tough series, but he is only young and dropping him now would be a big blow for him to take. He is a talent that needs nurturing and some patience - England will reap the benefits in years to come.
Comment number 239. Posted by Avalonon 26 Aug 2013 16:06
I think the squad picked for the oval without Kerrigan will be on the plane, Bresnan is a big doubt for the series in Aus.
Other players, Taylor and Ballance in the batting.
Batsmen : Cook, Root, Bell, KP, Trott, Taylor, Ballance
WK : Prior, Bairstow
Seam : Anderson, Tremlett, Woakes, Broad, Onions, Finn
Spin : Swann, ?
Comment number 238. Posted by exiledyorkieon 26 Aug 2013 13:44
As you can see from my name I am, originally, from Yorkshire, so please take everything I say with that 'rider' on it.
Take Carberry? I rather send my wife, she at least admits she isn't good enough. As for 'The Bears' comments. Well yes MV side does include 4 players from Yorkshire, but the again they are 30+ points clear of the next side in the Championship, and 50 ahead of Warwick.
Comment number 237. Posted by Jezzon 26 Aug 2013 11:45
Regarding the various selections suggestions on here, there are too many RH batters. Surely Mooen should go as he bats LH very well and offers offspin.
Comment number 236. Posted by Tokes78on 26 Aug 2013 10:26
I am yet to be convinced with Root as an opener and would opt for Carberry instead with Root at six. Bairstow would go as reserve w/ keeper only, with Bopara earning a recall as reserve batsman and back up bowler. The fast bowlers pick themselves leaving the extra spinner question. I'd go with Panesar based upon his pedigree as a previous match winner. No idea why Kerrigan was picked for the Oval?

No surprises in the selections made. Michael Vaughn's county-bias shining through somewhat but, to be fair, the players he's advocating are worthy of note.
I'd like to see Tremlett back. Great player though he is, I don't think that Bresnan is pacey enough for Aussie wickets. Finn needs some rehabilitation!
England must take a youngster or two otherwise we just repeat Australia's big error!

Seamus (231) - The rules regarding bad light were changed in 2010, it is now the sole responsibility of the umpires to decide when to go off for bad light. The batsmen (should) have no input.

Seamus. Actually England won the series 3 NIL not 3=2 as you intimated!!
Comment number 232. Posted by Stillincredulouson 26 Aug 2013 01:24
The selectors have got away with "same again" so long, there are few options so I expect same again. Taylor might be as effective as Trott but how would we ever know? Prior still makes it as compensating factor for the top 6 not doing well enough but who else is coming along? Bairstow hasn't even kept wicket for a long time. Yes I'd take Monty - probably the ideal way to turn his situation round

Cricket lovely cricket. England won 3-2. There have been many scoring injustices over the past 50 years. This applies to all test cricket. I thought bad light was offered to the BATSMEN. (To protect them from seam bowling). It's down to them if they accept it. It's not offered to the fielding side. But the umpires don't take them off.
So someone is talking nonsense.

Thankfully we only have another week of school holidays left, so after that comments like those made in post 228 & 229 will hopefully be a thing of the past.

To attract a new audience, 'Test' cricket needs to be made more exciting, the games would be better over a couple of hours or so.
Also they need to hit the ball more, once every 5 minutes is mind numbingly tedious.

Is anyone really still interested in this? All the excitement of crown green bowls, and the danger of tiddlywinks.

Vaughan would just take Yorkshire CCC and Jimmy Anderson. Ballance? Pitys sake. Carberry and Compton are too old. Root and Kerrigan not old enough.
Cook,Trott,Bell,KP,Bopara,Woakes,Prior,Swann,Broad,Tremlett, Anderson. Touring. Chopra,Taylor,Keiswetter,Panesar,Finn,Rankin.

Please, less idiot criticism of Clarke, Cook and umpires.
Fact: ICC's job is to make the laws, in a way that provides interest and entertainment to paying public (ha-ha).
Fact: Umpires' job is to enforce the laws.
Fact: Captains' and coaches' job is to use the laws in their team's interests.
Fact: Tests and T20 both have their place as do Bach and Oasis, but don't confuse them.

Squad picks itself, top order just need to score more runs. Everyone and I mean everyone should be more concerned about the fact that Flower seemed to defo indicate that he won't be on that plane after todays test match, much more concerning than anything else

A new item on Kickstarter, I wasn't sure if I should put this in Gear or in Chaff! Behold the Strap and Cr@p! The solution to your biggest outdoor problem!http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/328374(Surprisingly, pretty safe for work)
From the website:"•No need to remove your pack"I admit that sometimes I'm in a hurry but c'mon! Not to be disgusting but it'd be funny to watch someone test that claim.
Hammockers can just use their tree straps! Multi-use!But I've never felt that just squatting was disgusting, so that bit of marketing misses for me.I'll give her kudos for an entertaining indiegogo video, though!

Not original...Squat Strap
"Not original..."Interesting, and she's applying for a patent on it, if I recall correctly.
"Interesting, and she's applying for a patent on it, if I recall correctly."Possibly a design patent, but I would recon she'd have issues with getting a utility patent approved.
I think she missed on some of her research- what happen to the 200 ft away from a water source?Also, what a pain to try and dig a cat hole in the exact spot below where your back aligns with the strap minus the offending orifice.Maybe she could use the engineers to develop a formula for depth/height of squat, size of waist, diameter of tree, knee bend angle, etc. and build it into the strap kind of like a slide rule (I might have missed half of those reading with that one) to calculate where to dig the hole in relation to the tree.
Awesome, and HILARIOUS !!!I had folks come by my office to see the cause of my guffaw...and we LOVE the part where she's leaning back off the tree, about 10 feet off trail in open country, and WAVES to a gal strolling by. And, it's engineered!! Oh, and it holds a bear bell and TP roll! This thing is awesome!
I think that will make it unnecessarily awkward to pee... REAL hikers have calves and thighs that are more than strong enough for a few minutes of squatting.
I think no-see-um netting should be added to protect your bum from bites. :P
Not to be mistaken for the Sit and Sh!t.KJ
PatentDon't know if Daryl was the first one to do it but I doubt that he applied for a patent, maybe he just thought that it was a crappy idea anyway.Now Daryl, I would suggest that you pull down your trousers the next time and forgo the headphones because you may not be able to hear Yogi sneaking up on you...
You people kill me! Doing your duty has to be one of the most basic bodily functions. Even tiny babies do it. When my father was released from the hospital, after a triple by-pass, he was sent home with all sorts of instructions, but the one his surgeon concentrated on the most (after the medications) was the instructions on "how to do your duty." Pretty funny way of putting it, since my dad was retired Air Force and this was a military hospital. Anyway, the instructions were as follows:Do NOT enter the bathroom or wherever until the load is AT THE UNLOADING DOCK. That means that you can feel it near the exit.Take a seat -NO reading matter, no cell phones, no distractions. In other words, No nothing. This is not the reading room. You are here to get a job done in 30 SECONDS OR LESS. No kidding. Let it go. If it is at the unloading dock, this should just happen. As far as squatting in the great outdoors, if you follow the instructions above, you only have to squat for a half minute. Mrs. T.
That reminds me of one of those 'get to know you' games we did on my first day of high school. We were supposed to get signatures from others for statements that applied to them. On the line 'I read in the bathroom,' I laughed out loud and protested 'Why would Anyone do that?', only to find that at least half of the class was guilty of just that. I came from a family with 1 bathroom and there was never a need for dallying.Anyway, squatting is really good for you and I think we should all incorporate more in our pampered lives.Cary
Seems like a small bag for the TP would fare better than a strap. A trowel needs to be worked into the system, or add a small explosive charge to clear a cat hole. Homo sapiens has been around 195,000 years at last count. You would think we would retain these skills a bit better with so much practice. Where is Mike Clelland?

If i was going to use tree support while taking a squat it would be with something like this. Looks way more comfy to me.http://northwoodshammock.com/?wpsc-product=aspen-toilet-hammock

Lions 2013: Triumph enhances Lions' and Gatland's reputations
What a way to finish. Did anyone really expect that?
A victory, perhaps, although there were plenty who thought the Lions' best chance had already passed in Melbourne.
But a record points tally? Gloriously compiled with three quick-fire tries in a dizzying dozen second-half minutes?
Even Alun Wyn Jones, who played a central role in the denouement to a dramatic series, could not quite take in the 41-16 win that sealed a 2-1 series victory, 45 minutes after the final whistle had sounded.
Best Lions points tallies in Tests
- 41 - v Australia, 2013
- 31 - v Australia, 1966
- 29 - v Australia, 2001
- 28 - v South Africa, 1974 & 2009
"Ask me on Tuesday or Wednesday what it was like and I may be able to describe it," said the lock, an inspired choice as captain for the tourists' finest hour since the 1997 series was clinched in Durban. "At the minute I am outside the moment."
A short while earlier, Jones and fellow Welshman Jamie Roberts were drinking it in, lying exultant on their backs amid the red-and-white tinsel tape blanketing the old Olympic Stadium pitch.
While the legions of Lions supporters joined in raucously as Tom Jones's Delilah boomed around the arena, the players' expressions suggested mild disbelief at what they had just accomplished.
So commanding was their lead, so demoralised were the Wallabies, that Warren Gatland and his fellow coaches felt able to leave their box and join the rest of the staff on the touchline for the final five minutes.
"Test match rugby is agony or ecstasy, there's nothing in between," said the New Zealander, who has had his fair share of both. "When you get the ecstasy, you've got to enjoy that moment, not just myself but everyone involved. Emotionally they have put so much into it."
Perhaps this week more than any other.
Gatland said he took no pleasure in seeing his decision to make six changes, and deprive Brian O'Driscoll of the send-off an outstanding Lions servant deserved, fully vindicated.
The flak flying his way in recent days, not just over O'Driscoll, but also the suggestion he was favouring his own Wales players by picking 10 of them, has clearly stung.
Gatland would have been within his rights to snipe back at the former players and media commentators who questioned whether his actions had undermined the whole Lions ethos.
As it is, he has ensured the brand will continue to thrive and thrill for years to come, and enhanced his own reputation in the process.
The next mission to New Zealand in 2017 may be the most hazardous of the lot, but at least those charged with tackling it will head south without the millstone of a 20-year winless streak weighing them down.
In truth the omission of O'Driscoll, and his leadership, was never likely to be the critical factor in this deciding Test, and so it proved.
The scrum, an old weakness the Wallabies thought they had cast aside, returned to haunt them in spectacular fashion.
Given a French referee, Romain Poite, renowned for rewarding the dominant scrum, there was always a suspicion that with prop Alex Corbisiero back at loose-head, and Richard Hibbard adding ballast at hooker alongside Adam Jones, the Wallabies might struggle to contain the Lions eight.
The tourists were awarded two free-kicks and three penalties from the first six scrums. The first free-kick led to Corbisiero's early converted try, and Leigh Halfpenny dispatched the three penalties.
Corbisiero, who Gatland nominated as his man of the match for his "sensational" display around the field as well as his contribution at the scrum, gave Australia tight-head Ben Alexander such a torrid time that when the Wallaby was sent to the sin-bin for collapsing the scrum again on 25 minutes, his side decided they were better off without him, leaving Sekope Kepu on in his place.
The hosts had said they intended to "take the Lions outside their comfort zone". But by failing to control the opening kick-off, which they allowed to bounce before Will Genia knocked it on, they actually helped their opponents gain belated value from an obvious strength and take control.
Stand-in skipper Jones led from the front, carrying more ball than any other player. Everything he did had an intensity and passion that inspired those around him.
Warren Gatland
"I just hope the next 48 hours doesn't get out of hand; that is my big concern, as we don't fly out until Tuesday!"
Though Halfpenny was voted man of the series, the Ospreys lock was surely the outstanding Lions forward, his unflinching commitment encapsulated in an early hit on Australian counterpart James Horwill that set the tone.
Sean O'Brien made 11 tackles in the first half alone, and 13 out of 15 in all. Number eight Toby Faletau put in a trademark tireless shift, and won a vital turnover near the Lions line. George North oozed menace.
The backs - with the fit-again Roberts making some headway - were solid rather than spectacular for the first 50-odd minutes, before exploding into life.
Jonathan Davies justified his selection with a pivotal role in Jonny Sexton's try that effectively took the game away from Australia, while Halfpenny's running skills further illuminated the tourists' performance.
The 24-year-old had already punished the hosts with his deadly right boot, his only blemish from the tee in nine attempts from out on the left touchline with the game effectively sewn up after North's try made it 34-16.
"I think he has established himself as a pretty iconic figure in the game now," Jones said of Halfpenny. "He has been a talisman throughout the tour and the plaudits he gets are more than deserved."
Halfpenny landed 39 of his 44 kicks on this trip, including 17 from 21 amid the extra pressure of the Test series. Not least of the many satisfying aspects of this success is that history will not recall his missed effort from halfway with the last kick of the second Test as a defining moment of the series.
While Australia did not appear to have much faith in their kicker, Christian Leali'ifano, landing anything from more than 30 metres as they opted to kick five first-half penalties to touch rather than at goal, Halfpenny's technique is so well honed even the ones he misses are by minuscule margins.
Nor is he alone in enhancing his reputation. Gatland was effusive in his praise for the impact of scrum-half Conor Murray, hooker Tom Youngs and the rest of the bench in a stirring collective effort.
"These guys have done themselves and that jersey proud," Gatland added. "They deserve a huge amount of credit for that performance and what they have achieved, and not just the 23 players but the whole squad, the management, the medical and support staff. I think they have been exceptional on and off the field.
"I just hope the next 48 hours doesn't get out of hand; that is my big concern, as we don't fly out until Tuesday! But all the people involved, and the players in particular, have to enjoy the moment."
Absolutely. Lions series wins do not come around too often. The odds are always stacked against them.
If the class of 2013 bring the same passion and intensity they showed on the field to the celebrations, and there is no reason to doubt they will, the party will go on for a while yet.

@329 get a grip man. Whether or not the home nations are good enough to stand on their own is a mute point (and if recent performances in the SH are anything to go by the point is certainly arguable).
To suggest the lions are now irrelevant is frankly ridiculous. Just ask any of the players who took part, or indeed any of the fans who traveled across the world to watch!!
Comment number 340. Posted by Welsh Dragonon 8 Jul 2013 19:38
@339. The BBC's coverage of the Lions tour has been shameful. You would have thought a sporting event, to which 30,000 people traveled deserved a little more respect from the BBC.
Not only has the BBC barely reported the (record) victory. But just this afternoon, it was still bleating about the BOD dropping.
No Gatland/Warburton/Wyn Jones interviews. No celebration. Nothing.
Utterly shameful.
Comment number 339. Posted by Michael Ashworthon 8 Jul 2013 19:14
Just joined this thread. Why no match highlights or any terrestrial coverage of this tour? BBC swamped by London-based sport again (Wimblebore) and its new--found love Glastoballs. Shame also on Lions admin for selling out to Sky. An epoch-making British (and Irish) team with no British TV coverage. Had to resort to You Tube - the People's Rugby Channel.
Comment number 338. Posted by WunderfulBBCon 8 Jul 2013 15:24
Yes, power beat the Aussies (although they helped the Lions' cause considerably) but sheer power will not be nearly enough to beat the All Blacks, nor ZA.
NZ will match any Lions scrum and in the loose, but where NZ have a distinct advantage is in their back play, and better discipline. Plus, refs tend to favour SH interpretation
After this "vote for power", I can't see the Lions improving there

"BOD played first two tests - narrow win, narrow loss. Gatland makes the call. BOD removed. Result. Davies outstanding. Record 41-16 victory"
So, your not biased at all?
I'm Scots so have no bias either way but if Davies was so outstanding, and single-handedly responsible for the record win (as you infer), how come he didn't get MoM?
Australia were very poor hence the margin
Comment number 336. Posted by EggsBenedicton 8 Jul 2013 14:11
@335 - are you talking about the BBC journos, or the posters in the comments section?
I agree - lots of WUM on these boards. This one has been mostly friendly banter though.
Perhaps you meant @329. Spot on there. I suppose at least he's on topic.
Lions is a huge economic boost while people will pay to see them play. I don't think that will diminish so long as the games are competitive.

There are people on this website whose only ambition in life is to wind people up and to see what response they get. The more outrageous the comments or remarks, the more response, hence they push the boundries even further. Please do not waste time and effort in replying to their blogs. But merely laugh at their ignorance. They will soon stop writing!

Come on beeb! I'm fed up of reading the same 3 arguments that have filled the boards for the last month. Try something new - it's a rugby page - put some rugby news on it.
Comment number 333. Posted by non-parochial Lions fanon 8 Jul 2013 13:23
@328 and @330 - don't dispute the dominance of the Lions forwards but in my playing experience, rugby is about creating a platform up front and creating space for backs to exploit. No shame there! As for which was best backs try - wasn't suggesting Roberts' was the best, merely (as a centre myself) enjoying the sweetness of Roberts' run. Agree North and Murray's role in it just as important.
Comment number 332. Posted by Cortadoon 8 Jul 2013 13:13
Same rubbish old arguments - all this is yesterdays news. What about the situation with Robbie Deans and the effect this will have on Australia, RWC etc..? Where's the real analysis? Why is everyone so stuck on what happened before Saturday? Lions won. Next?
Comment number 331. Posted by Deerguton 8 Jul 2013 13:10
@ 329 - AIs will give us a clue if you're right but even so, Lions not irrelevant....not yet!
Comment number 330. Posted by EggsBenedicton 8 Jul 2013 13:06
@328 - come on, it was at least 10 men. The ball did go out to the centres about 35 minutes in, but they ran into each other in a faintly embarrassing way, and they had to revert to plan 'A'.
@327 - The other backs tries were better than Roberts one for me - think most of the centres on tour would have scored after North fixes 2 defenders and Murray's sleight of hand.
Comment number 329. Posted by imclon 8 Jul 2013 13:01
Why the fuss about so many Welshmen on the Lions lineup. Any of the home nations could field a winning Lions side with the addition of half a dozen top players from the other nations. The day of the Lions is gone and they are no longer needed. The home nations are good enough to stand on their own.
Comment number 328. Posted by Timon 8 Jul 2013 12:59
@327 You dispute Forward dominated rugby ? Most of the 1st half on sat was an 8man game to me, but then I've only watched it 2 or 3 times.
Gats power game finally paid off - I'm not convinced but you can't argue with the result!
Re: Roberts try - the class act there was Murray
RE: Corbisiero and North : Saints look good for next year, Not sure who will live with them up front.... or in backs
Comment number 327. Posted by non-parochial Lions fanon 8 Jul 2013 12:38
326. "Forward dominated rugby"; 310 "His style of rugby is boring". Comment - three great backs tries; Roberts timing/angle worth the money alone, power; accuracy and physical commitment of Lions utterly compelling for the true rugby connoisseur. Country irrelevant, best men for the job chosen, strategy bang-on. Job done with brutality and style. Gats and co for 2017 (I'm not Welsh)!
Comment number 326. Posted by AfricanScoton 8 Jul 2013 12:24
I have been one of Gatland's biggest critics but I have to say he did get it right in the end. His plan of purely direct, forward dominated Rugby finally worked in this game after failing in the first two, but he got the job done and you can't say fairer than that. Hopefully he will pick some Scots if he is coach in 2017, although sure he won't. Still great stuff though!
Comment number 325. Posted by Deerguton 8 Jul 2013 12:19
@ 323 - think the chap from the Rolf Harris song will be after you shortly. What you say is an utter disgrace and totally insulting about elite sportsmen in an elite sport with elite coaches and elite....well elite everything!
As for 322 - please refrain from balanced comments.
Comment number 324. Posted by ade370on 8 Jul 2013 12:18
@322 more to do with lack of quality centres available in Britain and Ireland at the mo. Well, ones that would fit in with WG's style of play anyway.
I wouldn't like to single any player out for special mention, it was a very good team effort. Everyone has there favorites and some people would prefer others than those picked. But no one can say those picked haven't done us all proud!!!!
Comment number 323. Posted by BasilFon 8 Jul 2013 12:14
@311 - Warburton played the first two tests and not the third as well. Perhaps him not playing was the catalyst for such a good Lions victory?
Comment number 322. Posted by EggsBenedicton 8 Jul 2013 12:05
@311 - I thought BOD was lucky to make the plane frankly, but not even I think that dropping him was the catalyst for the margin of victory. If you want to put it down to one player (I don't), Corbisiero seems to be a good place to start. Having a ref with a clue as to what a scrum is helped too.
Forwards win games.
Awesome finish to the series. Horwill total class in post-defeat interviews.

Submission To Apple, 1-Station Radio Apps As Bad As Fart Apps-> 1
Bill Kendrick writes: Radio magazine has pointed out that as of this month, single-station radio iOS apps are being rejected because Apple considers them "spam" (and apparently specifically compared them to fart apps). Jim Barcus, author of the letter to Radio and president of DJB Radio Apps, finds it ironic that apps cannot mention other mobile platforms (e.g., Android), yet "radio stations have to be forced to have its competitors on the same app."
