Ndungane, who was the only ethnic black player in the Springbok squad that beat England in the World Cup final, said that the displaying of the old South African flag, which continues popping up at games, is wrong.
"I definitely think those [old] flags should be banned," he told the RugbyFanz.com website. "It would be a step forward."
According to Ndungane, some South African fans still live in the past.
"The national anthem is no longer just Die Stem, it is a combination of N'kosi Sikilele Afrika and Die Stem," he says. "We need to look at the future."
Ndungane also said he believed that Springboks playing in Europe should be allowed to represent their country in Test matches.
"Look what they did at the World Cup," he added in reference to Springbok captain John Smit and others who are playing in Europe.

Officials warn heat could cause health problems
Health and weather officials are warning sun worshippers that next week's expected heat wave could cause health problems, particularly in certain risk groups. They are advising good sense as residents enjoy the seasonal warmth.
Officials of the Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI are hoping that advance warnings will help prevent health problems related to exposure to extreme high temperatures. Risk groups for heat-related ailments include the elderly, children, persons with cardiac or respiratory illnesses, diabetics and outdoor workers.
Authorities commonly issues weather warnings about 24 hours ahead of the start of a period of extremely hot or cold conditions.
According to guidelines issued by the National Institute for Health and Welfare THL, heat-related health problems can be prevented by drinking lots of fluids throughout the day and by avoiding heavy physical exertion.
People should also take care to eat, dress lightly and to protect their heads from the sun, while nothing beats a cool shower for cooling down.
According to current weather advisories, there is a 30 percent chance of a heat wave in southern and central Finland Tuesday. Daytime highs in southern and central Finland could reach as high as 30 degrees Celsius early next week.
Yle weatherman Joonas Koskela said that residents of southern and central areas are being advised to brace for temperatures as high as 30 degrees on Monday and Tuesday.

Child Support – jail for non-payment ?
Child maintenance update
An increasing number of fathers are going to prison due to missing child maintenance payments. This is a political and practical hot potato – on the one hand, if no action is taken, this send out a message that it is acceptable not to financially support children. On the other hand, if a father is in prison, this removes his ability to pay and possibly in the future and deprives the children of contact with their father.
The figures suggest that the number of fathers imprisoned has tripled over 3 years to the current number of more than 50. In the period from April 2007 to March 2008, 25 people were imprisoned for missed payments and 480 had suspended sentences. The increase is demonstrated by the fact that from April to October 2010 35 parents went to prison and 635 were given suspended sentences: the final tally is expected to be at least 50 and 900 respectively. Apparently, average sentences for debts are 48 days.
There remains a huge underlying problem with collection of payments by the CSA. Since 1993 it has fallen short by a huge £3.8bn in the amount of money it should have collected and the system remains very hit and miss, as evidenced by the fact that the CSA sought to send to prison one father who owes £700 but many are not pursued adequately or at all despite owing thousands.
The CSA stated that "It is highly unusual for anyone to be sent to prison .. magistrates must be satisfied that a parent has wilfully refused or culpably neglected to meet their financial responsibilities."

Memorial Day is often regarded as the first real check-in date of the regular season. If a team can carry a good start through May, it's no longer a fluke. Therefore it's safe to say that the Mets have been an above average baseball team thus far. However, that's not to say they haven't overachieved a bit.
The Mets exit Memorial Day weekend a full 5 games over .500 and in joint possession of 2nd place in the NL East. They've done all of this (well at least most of this) without their starting left-fielder, starting shortstop and having lost their fourth starting pitcher. Throw in the fact that Ike Davis has been horrid and you can see that things don't really add up.
Underwhelming contributions from Jon Niese, Dillon Gee and the bullpen in general also stand to negatively impact the team's winning ways as they move forward into the summer. They will be forced to rely heavily on their returning players, when/if they make their way back from the disabled list.
The team deserves credit, without question, but for how long they can sustain such a push with the absence of some crucial pieces of the roster is something to keep an eye on. Perhaps I am just waiting for the bottom to drop out as it seemingly does every season, but I simply get the impression that while they are headed in the right direction, these early season results are premature and are not a true representation of where the team will be in three months time.
The roster remains thin with few replacements in waiting. It's logical to think its going to catch up with the Mets, in spite of the "never say die" attitude they've embraced. The ball won't always bounce in our direction, no matter how hard they try.

Pediatric Testicular Cancer
What is Pediatric Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer in children is uncommon, accounting for about 1% of pediatric solid tumors -2%, accounting for 2% of all testicular tumors. Adults, germ cell tumors accounted for 95% of testicular cancer, but only 60% to 75% of pediatric and benign majority. Pediatric malignant testicular tumor death reports. Most found in the 2-year-old, about 60% of the cases seen in the first 2 years.
Symptoms of Pediatric Testicular Cancer

With adult patients, the most common manifestation is painless mass in the scrotum, local pain or heavy feeling, acute pain and tenderness are rare. Misdiagnosed as testicular torsion, epididymitis, inguinal hernia or hydrocele. In addition to the testis rhabdomyosarcoma, or the non-germ cell tumors of the endocrine, testicular cancer most of the children had no clinical symptoms. Approximately 10% of the performance of children with metastatic cancer like: supraclavicular lymph nodes, lung metastases coughing and breathing difficulties, duodenal metastasis caused by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, and violations of the psoas muscle and nerve roots caused by lumbar back pain.

Tests and Diagnosis for Pediatric Testicular Cancer
Scrotum light test helps with hydrocele identification. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) as a tumor marked an important value in in testicular tumor staging and follow-up monitoring. B ultrasound can be used to determine testicular tumor and inguinal lymph node metastasis, CT can be found in the retroperitoneal lymph node metastases and lymphography not found paraaortic lymph node lesions. Metastatic lymph nodes larger by urography can be found in the proximal 1/3 ureter shift obstruction.
Treatments of Pediatric Testicular Cancer
The treatment of testicular cancer is determined by its pathological nature and staging. The treatment can be divided into surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Stage I disease only the high refined by Fuse off and orchiectomy, such as the scrotum for biopsy or tumor with scrotal skin adhesion, required removal of the Ministry of scrotal skin. After 3 years every 3 months later abdominal X-ray, abdominal B ultrasound, serum levels of AFP. II Phase III pediatric abdominal mass, use in combination with chemotherapy (commonly used drugs: vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, bleomycin), tumor shrinkage to 18 weeks and then by laparotomy necessary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, surgery plus radiotherapy.

When did that change? Do you still call priests by their last name?
I just kind of noticed this for some reason..
There are a number of reasons here. The answer is not as simple as people think. CAF is going to put more grey on my head than I already have, because CAFers tend to either find answers that are too simple or to complex. What gives with that?
1. If you are a member of a religious order, you would not have used your last name until after Vatican II. Therefore, those who are older would use their first names only.
2. If you belong to one of the new religious communities that are returning to tradition, you no longer use last names. You actually change your name. I was born Michael. My religious name is Jason Richard. No one knows me by Michael. We never use our last names except on civil documents.
3. If you belonged to certain cultures, even if you're a secular priest, you would use the first name, because that is the custom on certain countries: France, Italy, and Spain come to mind. Therefore, you will often read or hear references made to Don Giovanni for St. John Bosco, Monsieur Vicent, for St. Vincent de Paul and Monsieur Jean Marie Batiste for St. John Vianney, Brother Juan de la Cruz (John of the Cross), Brother Francesco (St. Francis), Brother Bonaventure (St. Bonaventure). If you observe, only the modern saints have last names. That's because they were known by their first name.
Who ever heard of St. Teresa de Ahumada or St. Therese Martin? The reason that we refer to St. John Vianney by his last name is because the number of Johns in the canon of saints is in the hundreds. Just like every Francis after St. Francis of Assisi is known by two names. But no one knows St. Giovanni Bernadone (Francis of Assisi's legal name).
As the world becomes smaller, traditions from different cultures blend. In Florida, we have a very large Hispanic and Haitian Catholic population. Neither group has ever used surnames for priests. Most priests here are known by their first name

He became Friar Sean Patrick. Today, he is Cardinal Sean. He was my superior for a number of years. A very holy man.
Archbishop Chaput also comes from the same province as Cardinal Sean and I came from. However, the Archbishop entered later. By the time he entered, the custom had changed. He remained Charles Joseph Chaput, hence Archbishop Chaput.
Today, the Capuchin reform and those communities that are coming out of the Capuchin reform such as my own and that of the CFR are back to religious names and no last names. Fr. Benedict Groeschel is still using his last name, because he is a psychologist. In the academic world he is known as Dr. Groeschel. In my case, no one has any need to know my family name. I'm not famous. LOL.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello Tim,
Not to downplay the pot use, but what particularly is the son's concern?
Is your bf close to his sister?
How is the son going to explain snooping in his mom's room?
Yes, actually it does help. I would call the nephew back first and see what he wants his uncle to do. Maybe he just needed to vent, maybe he's nervous about the legalities of it.
I can see the mother getting upset if she thought her son was in her room, going thru her things, which he definitely should not be doing (his uncle might want to tell him that). I'm thinking, if he found a pot plant in the woods, that could be the excuse for his concern. Your bf could say that he was talking to the nephew and he mentioned that him (and his friends?) found a pot plant in the woods and does she know how it got there? Try and keep the nephew out of it as much as possible.
Of course she may deny knowledge, and it's possible it might not be hers, but your bf could take the stance "Even if it's not yours, you need to be concerned about who could plant something like that on your property, all of you could go to jail, because the police are not going to believe it doesn't belong to you. I'm not accusing you, what you do is your business, but kids aren't dumb, so if you are doing something, be careful not to expose your son to it, etc"
I welcome your thoughts, let me know if you want to talk more

Dec. 11, 2011

It also does so without having its Woodchuck mascot smash a can over its head, ogle women on the beach or drive a 550-horsepower muscle car through an orchard. Beer drinkers may have been deluged by chauvinistic, gender-specific ad campaigns for decades, but that doesn't mean they're idiots. If you offer them flavor they love in a slightly different format, they'll give it a try.
During the tasting at Reverend Nat's, hundreds of people streamed in and waited on quick-moving lines for samples of hopped cider. Unlike the Oregon Beer Festival, the Oregon Fresh Hop Beer Festival and many of the other beer festivals I've attended here, it was a near-even split of men and women not only on the tasting lines, but behind the taps and pitchers. Nat West's reluctance to genderize cider gave hip an event where gender wasn't a factor and drinks with fistfuls of hops in them weren't deal breakers. From young male and female soccer fans in their game-day Timbers scarves to older couples in more formal attire who looked as if they'd just stumbled upon the place after walking from a Convention Center hotel, the crowd in the garage-sized cidery was a plurality that big beer marketing teams only dream about.
Cider still has a small following compared to the beer industry's, but it has some outsized lessons to teach the big brewers encroaching on its turf. The most important is that they already have the tools to convert bored light lager drinkers into bubbly cider lovers. They just need to close down the He-Man Woman-Hater's Club and invest in better ingredients and a broader spectrum.

The NW Chapter meeting is this Thursday August 10, 6 pm at the Twin City Sportsman's Club.

Join the members for a round of trap and some good discussion regarding the upcoming duck season (only 2 months away).
The NW Chapter will have a Spartina pulling work party in coordination with The Nature Conservance on August 26th. Contact the NW Chapter of WWA for more information. And look for an announcement for a bridge replacement work party on the Farmed Island in the very near future.

Simply Crochet: 22 Stylish Designs for Everyday
by Robyn Chachula
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A beautifully photographed collection of nicely modern crochet designs. I haven't tried any of the patterns yet, but it looks like the instructions are very clear, and many projects are photographed from a variety of angles so that you can see the detail of the pattern and the places where joining might be tricky by instruction alone. I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to buy my own copy rather than constantly renewing the library one before I start any patterns, which is the reason I haven't done any yet.

Simply Crochet will help crocheters get the most enjoyment out of just a few balls of yarn. It will answer questions like: "What can I make with this one beautiful ball of yarn? Can I really make shawl with only 3 balls of yarn? Can I make something with scraps from a few old projects?" The book will center around 30 projects that use 5 balls or less of yarn, divided into sections by the amount of yarn, namely 1, 3, and 5 balls. The 1 skein section will concentrate on accessories like jewelry, scarves, and bags. In the 3 skein section, the reader will find shawls, socks, home, and baby items. The final section of 5 skeins or less, will have garments such as vests, skirts, cardigans, and jackets, and larger home items. Scattered throughout the sections will be helpful tips on making your yarn stash last such as how to choose the right stitch or stitch pattern to make your ball go the furthest; ideas on how to use leftover balls of yarn in new ways; and how to recycle an old project or sweater for its yarn"--… (more)

Bodies found seven weeks after Kashmir avalanche
Pakistani rescuers have recovered the first bodies from the site of an avalanche which buried 140 people at a high-altitude army camp more than seven weeks ago.
A huge wall of snow crashed into the remote Siachen Glacier base high in the mountains in disputed Kashmir in the early hours of April 7, smothering an area of one square kilometre.
Rescuers have been digging in tunnels in the hard mass of snow and ice to try to recover the bodies of 129 soldiers and 11 civilians at the Gayari camp.
"The body of one more soldier was found today from the avalanche site," the military said in a statement.
"It was recovered from a place which is very close to a site from where the first body was found yesterday."
A third body spotted in the same area was also being recovered.
Several foreign teams have visited the site, which is 4,000 metres up in the mountains, to assist the rescue efforts.
Gayari sits just below the Siachen Glacier, known as the "world's highest battlefield", where Pakistani and Indian troops have faced off in extreme conditions since the 1980s.
Kashmir has been the cause of two wars between India and Pakistan and the nuclear-armed rivals fought over Siachen in 1987, though guns on the glacier have largely fallen silent since a peace process began in 2004.

Def Jam Founders Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin will celebrate a new book titled "Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Recording Label" with an intimate discussion next month. The art book, which was written by Def Jam publicist and hip-hop historian Bill Adler, features stories, artifacts, and iconic images showing how the music label has influenced pop culture over the years.
Simmons and Rubin will be present to explain portions of the book and talk about their experiences as founders of the label. This will be a special treat for the audience as Rubin, who heads Columbia Records, rarely speaks to the public.
The event will be held on October 15 at the Stephen A Schwarzman Building in New York City and will be hosted by the New York Public Library's Paul Holdengraber. For tickets, visit showclix.com.

Wiley & Sons PP New York YR 1998 SN 0471145777 9780471145776 AB Throughout American history, succeeding in the military has demanded unflagging courage, strength of character, and a patriotic spirit. For an African American man or woman, serving in the military has also meant battling oppression and struggling against deep-seated prejudice. Those who persevered were not only warriors, nurses, or leaders--they were heroes and heroines. In this action-packed collection, you will meet thirty brave and determined African American military heroes, from the eighteenth century up to the present. You'll discover little-known facts about their families and careers, as well as the remarkable odds each of them overcame. Ranging from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War, these exciting stories show you how: Private Peter Salem, born into slavery, led the charge against the British redcoats at the Battle of Bunker Hill and turned the tide in America's fight for independence. Harriet Tubman, famous for her daring in the Underground Railroad, worked as a spy and nurse for the Union army during the Civil War. Private Henry Johnson, a member of the first black combat battalion in World War I, single-handedly withstood a German ambush and received the Croix de Guerre, France's highest honor for bravery in action. Brigadier General Hazel W. Johnson, chief of the Army Nursing Corps, blazed a trail in the struggle for racial integration in the armed forces during World War II, becoming the military's highest-ranking African American woman. General Colin L. Powell, recipient of the Purple Heart in Vietnam, steadily rose through army ranks to become the first African American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, overseeing the U.S. invasion of Panama and Operation Desert Storm.
