Veteran Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll and back rower Jamie Heaslip have been dropped for the British and Irish Lions' series decider against the Wallabies this weekend.
O'Driscoll, a veteran of four Lions tours and the 2005 series captain, is one of six changes to the team that lost 16-15 to Australia in Melbourne last Saturday.
He was widely expected to captain the side after the loss of Sam Warburton to a torn hamstring and a broken arm to 2009 captain Paul O'Connell, but did not have his best game in the second Test.
Heaslip was also dropped from the 23 players picked for the match, while Welsh second rower Alun Wyn Jones will captain the side.
Last week's starting halfback Ben Youngs has also been dropped out of the squad to make way for Mike Phillips, who has recovered from a knee complaint, with Conor Murray on the bench.
Welsh centre Jamie Roberts returns from injury to take O'Driscoll's place in the midfield, with Manu Tuilagi providing cover on the bench.
Sean O'Brien takes the place of injured captain Sam Warburton at No.7, with Dan Lydiate and Toby Faletau rounding out the back row.
Prop Mako Vunipola, who struggled early on at the set piece in Melbourne, has been dropped to the bench to make way for returning English prop Alex Corbisiero.
Hooker Tom Youngs has also been relegated to the bench, with Richard Hibbard starting in his place.
Head coach Warren Gatland paid tribute to O'Driscoll but said he felt Roberts "offered us something more".
"It has been a challenging tour and we have had our fair share of injuries but we always knew that would be the case," Gatland said.
"Brian O'Driscoll is a great player and has had a wonderful career but for the final Test in Sydney we just felt Jamie Roberts' presence offered us something more."
The sold out match comes after the Lions took the first Test in Brisbane 23-21 and the Wallabies prevailed in the second Test.
"It all comes down to Saturday, winner takes all," Gatland said.
"We know we can leave nothing in the tank and that only a complete performance will get us across the line. Picking this team was not easy and ultimately with several players available after recovering from injury the head overruled the heart in many selection decisions."
Lions: Leigh Halfpenny, Tommy Bowe, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, George North, Jonathan Sexton, Mike Phillips, Toby Faletau, Sean O'Brien, Dan Lydiate, Geoff Parling, Alun Wyn Jones (c), Adam Jones, Richard Hibbard, Alex Corbisiero. Res: Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola, Dan Cole, Richie Gray, Justin Tipuric, Conor Murray, Owen Farrell, Manu Tuilagi.

What if there was a better way to pledge your geek allegiance than a hackneyed t-shirt. Inspired by the Barclays Personalised Card Designer, we've mocked up five debit cards you can carry at all times. You might even get a discount from a like-minded waiter...
This card has wireless capabilities, more than can be said for the computers that originally ran MS-DOS. It also probably won't crash when you try to make a payment.
Circuit board
Pay homage to the innards of your PC – and to the likes of Raspberry Pi – with this electrifying design. If you knew what you were doing, and felt like earning some bonus geek points, you could even solder a couple of components to it.
ZX Spectrum
Demonstrate moves from ZX classic Barbarian on the next person who tells you they like your Pink Floyd credit card. Losers.
The Batcard
Probably one of the only cool things about the Batman & Robin film – other than Arnie's Mr Freeze – was the hilarious appearance of Batman's own-brand credit card. We'd rather be reminded of Tim Burton's Batman, so we've swapped out the gaudy Schumacher logo for the classier 1989 version.
The Joker
If you're more of a Clown Prince of Crime than a Caped Crusader, how about slapping this Joker design – as used by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight – onto your credit card. Why so serious?
Back to back
Hand over this card to your shop assistant and laugh at their confusion as they try to work out which side is which. You card, you.
Mobile payments
Having an Apple credit card is naff. But having an Apple credit card with the old logo, toned in 'Apple II beige'? Your round.

Guru calls laughter key to health
A Bombay doctor who says laughter is the best medicine has brought his message to Cambridge.
Dr Madan Kataria advocates regular breaks for yoga, deep breathing, and belly laughs, with or without jokes to prompt them.
He is due to present a seminar on his philosophy at Cambridge Regional College.
Dr Kataria, known as the "Guru of Giggling", told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire that his regimen calls for people to laugh "initially as a form of exercise".
Faking it
"We devised a new method where you can laugh without any humour or without any reason".
He believes the "fake it until you make it" approach helps people fool their bodies into believing the laughter is a real indicator of happiness, which he says offers physical and psychological benefits.
Dr Kataria advocates laughter to relieve stress, strengthen the immune system, and to make people look and feel younger.
He has established hundreds of "laughter clubs" around the world.

" Located in the north-western section of Poland "
Miedzyzdroje. First of all how do you pronounce it? Okay, I'll have a go. Something like this Me-en-zee-za-droya. Not easy is it?
~~~~~~~Where and what?~~~~~~~~~
Where the heck is it and what is it? Miedzyzdroje is a very popular seaside resort on the Polish Baltic Coast in western Pommerania. I had never heard of the town until my son and daughter-in-law suggested we visit when we were staying in Grzybowo in June. The drive from Gyzbowo was well over 60 minutes as the roads were slow and when I am on holiday for only a week I don't always want to be stuck in a car driving to and fro. Seeing that we had been informed that Miedzyzdroje was a spectacular place to see, resembled the French city of Cannes and had an interesting pier we thought it was somewhere we would regret seeing if we passed it by so off we went.
~~~~~~~First Impression~~~~~~~~~~
Having parked the car we walked up a steep road which leads straight on to the main Promenade Gwiazd. I could see evidence of a long lost grandeur as the first building I noticed was the Kino Baltyk; a beautiful building which looked in disrepair. I couldn't work out if the building had suffered fire damage or was just derelict. Whatever the damage it was sad to see such an elegant building in this state. On the same side of the road there were other grand villas that in their hey day would have looked very spectacular but looked slightly out of place with all the other tacky souvenir stalls and ice cream parlours.
I reckon this was once an elegant resort that has become jaded and is being redesigned and rebuilt. The problem being that the new buildings are in extremely bad taste and not to my liking at all. It all seemed so tacky with endless arcade amusements, cheap clothes and sunglasses stalls, fish and chip cafes, kebab and burger joints etc. I know all seaside resorts have these things but in Miedzyzdroje there seemed so much tack.
~~~~~~~So what is the pier like?~~~~~~~
Miedzyzdroje's Molo or pier overlooks the Baltic Sea from its very long, sandy beach. The entrance to the pier is attractive in a Disneyland way with two white towers which have a modern yet Victorian style. The towers and arched entrance do give the pier a sense of glamour although it be a tacky one. I think I would have much preferred the wooden jetty that would have overlooked the ocean way back in 1885.
Walking through the archway I was even less impressed as it is an area filled with tacky shopping outlets selling everything from cheap pottery, Indian cotton dresses and seaside hats. Several cafes are dotted around and the smell of fresh coffee and creamy buns and cakes is quite evocative but we passed on this area as it was busy, bustling and too noisy.
For some reason we thought we might have to pay to walk on the actual pier which is a bridge/walkway covering 395 metres. The sea was calm and there was no wind so our walk across the pier was a gentle one. So what is it like - this famous pier? Rather dull in my opinion. The platform of the pier is concrete with the sides of the bridge also made from reinforced concrete painted in a metal grey colour. The whole appearance is one of straight lines apart from the curved lamps set at intervals along the walkway. Benches are placed so you can stop, sit down, look at the sea, have a coffee or an ice cream from one of the kiosks along the pier. I didn't think the pier seemed very long although we didn't go to the very end where the walkway changes into the passenger entrance to the harbour. This is where you can catch ferries to Ahlbeck in Germany which sounds interesting and something we will definitely do if we visit Miedzyzdroje again. Apart from ice cream and coffee outlets along the pier there are various booths advertising real estate and photographers. The pier is used every year to promote Polish film, art and culture festivals so it is a perfect place for photo shoots.
The views from the pier are of both sides of the beach which is long and very white. Communist style hotel blocks can be seen from one side of the pier but these aren't that interesting. In the daytime I think the pier and its views are pretty drab. In the evening, when all the circular lamps are switched on and the sun is setting making the sky into a red and purple mass then it may look more appealing. As for the town of Miedzyzdroje looking like Cannes you can take my word for it - it doesn't look anything like Cannes having been to this very glamorous city on the French Riviera many times. I am glad I visited just for the experience but would only go back to catch a ferry to Germany. I think they haven't made the best use of the pier and it would be far more attractive if it was a little more colourful and ornate.
*****The Promenade of Stars******
One of the main reasons for taking a trip to Miedzyzdroje was to see the Promenade of Stars. As you know there is the famous Avenue of Stars (La Croisette) in Cannes where famous movie actors meet every year for photo shoots when the film festival is showing. The Avenue is somewhere to be and somewhere to be seen. Promenade Gwiazd has a similar atmosphere except without the palm trees and glorious villas.
Gwiazd is the Polish word for celebrity and here on the pavement on the Promenade are several hands belonging to Polish actors imprinted on amber commemorative plates. The walk up to the Promenade is very attractive with formal gardens blooming with colourful displays of flowers, neat hedges and many paths. The length of the Promenade isn't too long and when you reach the end you can either walk down to the sea and beach or go back into the main hub of the town through the gardens. The actual commemorative plates are quite small. A little bigger than the average hand size. I suppose I was expecting something larger and more glamorous.
I am not very au fait with the names of Polish actors although I recognise a lot from TV. I remember faces but never names. Polish names aren't the easiest to remember at the best of times. Two hands I wanted to find were the hands belonging to Polanski and Waida. I missed Waida's because his imprint isn't actually a hand. In fact, I haven't a clue what it is. It just looks like a mountainous blob made from bronze and amber with his name written underneath. I was a little disappointed with this.
My walk on the Promenade was very slow as there are a lot of hands to look at and I didn't know which to look at first. It is fascinating how they all come in different shapes and sizes. It is also interesting to look at the handwriting of the stars as they have all signed their handprints underneath. One of the names I did recognise was Danuta Stenka who acts in TV as well as film. She starred in my favourite TV serial about the Polish Underground; Czas Honoru. There are quite a few well known actors also in this series but for the life of me I couldn't remember their names - only faces. Of course I was determined to find Polanski's handprint which we did and my husband placed his hand on the top and it matched so he has exactly the same hand size and shape as Roman Polanski. I saw other people sizing up famous hand prints with their own too.
I am not sure how many hand prints there are on the Promenade but my favourite ones are not actually hand prints. I really like the bronze sword with flames behind it. This is to commemorate Jerzy Hoffman; a Polish director and screenwriter who has won many awards and is well known throughout Poland. The fire and sword motif is from the film he directed in 1999 of the same name. I also like the bronze top hat with two carnations splayed at either side of the hat. This plaque is to commemorate Jeremi Przybora who was amongst other things an actor, radio presenter and poet. He was known for wearing a top hat on stage and during the Warsaw Uprising was in charge of the civil radio broadcasts on Polish radio.
Overall, I enjoyed looking at the commemorative hands and plaques. It was a lot of fun and interesting too. The promenade is very open and I think it needs shade as the day we visited the sun did actually come out in the end and beamed down on our heads. My daughter-in-law felt queasy with the sun's rays and had to find some shade. Still, I liked the idea of the promenade mingling in with the gardens and the colours of the flowers were a good contrast against the concrete, amber and bronze.
~~~~~~The Beach~~~~~~~~
Plaza Miedzyzdroje is hailed as one of the town's most beautiful features. During my visit in the second week of June the east side of the beach which is to the right of the pier was teeming with sunbathers and families playing on the beach. As someone who loves beaches but mainly wild, untamed beaches this was not what I expected. Having driven from Grzybowo where the beach was nearly empty I was quite shocked to see all these people milling around.
We had our dog with us and the first thing we saw when we went to approach the beach was a huge sign saying that dogs weren't allowed. Fortunately this long, sandy beach is split into sections and signposted with letters. The entrance we first tried was F and the section of beach where dogs were allowed was J which was quite a long way off. We decided to have an ice cream each and then go back to the car and drive to the J section of the beach.
Having driven through the back of the town we spotted a sign for the beach which turned out to be a forest path. This was nice as it was so cool and shady but the minute we stepped out of the car we were bitten by mosquitoes - some of the biggest I have seen. We parked the car in the forest and then made our way through an opening. This was not a designated path to the beach and in theory we should have found the proper opening. It isn't the done thing in Poland to walk on rough trails but this time we decided to risk it. I might add that we did find the correct path on leaving the beach.
I was so pleased we decided to find the J section of beach as it was beautiful, just like the one at Grzybowo. Hardly a soul on the sand and the waves slowly rushing to the shore. It was so peaceful away from the crowds, trampolines and water slides which are all placed along the other sections of beach. In the distance we could see the pier and the tall white cliff rising high above the water and then suddenly disappearing into the sea.
The sea was much calmer than further up the coast although I wasn't sure about the colour of water - a muddy brown colour with lots of algae floating around. My son swam in the sea and wasn't bothered about the colour or algae. I had a small paddle but it was too cold for me to swim in.
I am glad I made the effort to visit the J section of the beach at Miedzyzdroje and if I was spending more than a day in the resort I would have visited this beach every day rather than the over populated section of the beach. For families and people who love crowded beaches with lots of activities then the other sections of the beach are fine. All different sorts of equipment to play games on the beach can be hired from outlets on the pier and on the eastern shore fishing is very popular. Here, you will be able to see small fishing boats who go out to catch fresh fish for nearby restaurants.
~~~~~~~There must be a park - every town in Poland has several parks!~~~~~~~~~
Frederic Chopin Spa Park is somewhere we found in Miedzyzdroje when crossing the road from the Promenade Gwiazd. Although the park shares the same address as the Promenade it is on the other side of the road and a different part of the town altogether. To enter the park you have to walk down a very long entrance which runs at the side of the Wax Works and Municipal Cultural Centre. I liked the entrance as it was shady and had a tranquil feel about it. It took me back in time - I could see myself dressed in a long, flowing gown, parasol in my hand, strolling slowly but surely past the graceful willow trees.
The park was designed in the nineteenth century and I would say is very formal. There are no areas of rough ground or wild plants. Everything is neat and precise with manicured hedges, cropped lawns and colour coordinated flower beds. As in all Polish parks there are many wooden benches situated throughout the park, generally grouped together. There are two main points of interest and they are: the central fountain which is shaped like a large sun dial where the water flows from the top of the dial into a large circular pool set in a cobbled concrete circle. The fountain can be seen from every entrance and is a good focal point. The other interesting aspect of the park is the grassy area sectioned off underneath green shrubs close to the main entrance. Here, there is a black marble bust of Frederic Chopin mounted on a concrete plinth set into a square edged with red and white flowers. I should imagine this monument is lit up in the evening and the light shining on the black marble will look very attractive. Having seen many monuments dedicated to Chopin throughout Poland I would say that this is a very good likeness.
The overall look of the park is one of precision and absolute tidiness. Litter bins are placed all the way through the park and I also noticed bird boxes attached to certain trees. We walked straight through the park to the back of Miedzyzdroje which has a much quieter feel than the front of the town. In this part of town there is a wooden chapel and several low key boarding houses and small hotels.
I liked the Frederic Chopin Spa Park and found our walk a very peaceful one. I particular liked the willow trees and the colourful borders.
So there you have a few of the highlights of the town. Overall, I guess I was a little disappointed as I wasn't keen on the pier or the beach apart from the J section. I suppose it isn't the right place for me but for people who like traditional seaside places with lots of bad taste attractions then this will pass the test.
On the other hand, it isn't all bad - I liked the Promenade of Stars and I was pleased to find Roman Polanski's hand print. I liked the park where Frederic Chopin's bust stands. The gardens along the front were very attractive too and very near to the Kino Baltyk was a stunning Victorian looking building which was a hotel. I noticed they have built a new Kino very close to the pier which is in the same style as the two white towers of the pier. It certainly stands out and in its own way is attractive but again - bad taste.
There are lots of different types of accommodation so visitors have a good choice and many food outlets so you will never starve at this resort. I didn't see any proper restaurants. I mean a restaurant that wasn't offering fish and chips, kebabs, burgers or salad. We only tested the ice cream and there are many stalls and parlours to choose from. Prices are very cheap - just over a pound for a very large cornet filled with as many flavours as you like. You can also have a sauce of your choice and crushed nuts poured over the top.
We spent the whole day in Miedzyzdroje and most of that time was walking on the Promenade of Stars and on the queiter section of the beach. I am glad I visited but I don't think I would go back. It is far too tacky and nothing at all like the French resort of Cannes.
* I do not have a Polish keyboard so there a re a few squiggles missing off the top of some words. I can cut and paste but when posted doesn't read right so I have chosen to omit them.*

1. Nate Burleson, Seahawks WR. Enjoying an impressive season following knee surgery, Burleson predicted a Seahawks victory over the Cardinals. That was the last we heard from him. Burleson finished with zero catches during a 31-20 defeat in Week 10. Seattle tried to find him early in the game, but Cardinals cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie had Burleson blanketed. When the game had concluded, T.J. Houshmandzadeh had caught nine passes for 165 yards, moving him past Burleson for the team lead in receptions and yards. Week 11 would be a good time for Burleson to atone. He'll get a shot at Minnesota, the team he left for Seattle.
2. Darnell Dockett, Cardinals DT. If the film doesn't lie, neither does the high-definition digital video. And it's pretty clear Fox cameras caught Dockett pressing his elbow into Matt Hasselbeck's throat following a second-quarter sack. Dockett denied bad intentions, but Seahawks coach Jim Mora expressed outrage, dragging down Dockett's stock at least temporarily. Dockett defended himself through his Twitter account, saying he would lose no sleep over the matter thanks to his king-sized bed and posh pad. Dockett also suggested stuff happens in football, implying that Mora wouldn't understand because he never played the game. Mora did play at the college level and he's been around the game his whole life.
3. Patrick Kerney, Seahawks DE. I'm a little reluctant to harp on the Seahawks' pass-rush woes against Arizona because we have covered the subject in detail. But Kerney has set a high standard over the years. He had three sacks and five quarterback hits in the Seahawks' most recent victory over the Cardinals (2007). His surprising inability to beat Cardinals tackle Levi Brown stood out as a primary reason for the Seahawks' struggles Sunday. Kerney is earning $4 million in salary this season and the Seahawks are on the hook for more than $9 million in salary proration beyond 2009. They need more from him to regain their footing in the NFC West.
1. Anquan Boldin, Cardinals WR. Boldin's stock was falling a week ago after he voiced selfish complaints following an impressive Cardinals victory over the Bears. There was nothing selfish about the way he played against Seattle. His 37-yard reception sparked the Cardinals' victory. Boldin finished the game with eight receptions for 105 yards, his first 100-yard receiving game of the season. Arizona, somehow 5-1 without Boldin since the start of last season, needed him against Seattle. Boldin played angry, reaching the ball forward for extra yardage. If the Cardinals do decide to trade Boldin after the season, the value they get in return could hinge on whether Boldin can build upon his strong showing in Week 10.
2. Justin Forsett, Seahawks RB. The Seahawks weren't sure heading into offseason minicamps whether Forsett could adapt his running style for the zone blocking scheme. They liked what they saw during minicamps and they love what they've seen from Forsett this season. Forsett carried 17 times for 123 yards against the Cardinals, taking over most of the snaps after starter Julius Jones suffered a bruised lung. Forsett has answered every question anyone could have raised about him. With Jones expected to miss at least one game, Forsett might now get a chance to prove whether he can hold up as more of an every-down back. His efforts in passing situations -- including a terrific block on Adrian Wilson in blitz pickup -- have been critical for Hasselbeck.
3. Brandon Gibson, Rams WR. A backup's job is to be ready when called upon, and Gibson certainly held up his end after the Rams lost Keenan Burton to a season-ending knee injury Sunday. The rookie receiver caught seven passes for 93 yards against the Saints. Rams general manager Billy Devaney took some heat, including here, when linebacker Will Witherspoon, the player St. Louis traded for Gibson, scored a touchdown in his first game with the Eagles. The trade looks good right now because injuries continue to strike the position. The Rams have had nine receivers on their 53-man roster this season. Gibson will get plenty of chances to develop over the final seven games as long as he avoids joining Burton and fellow Rams wideouts Laurent Robinson and Brooks Foster on injured reserve.

Activists from the Women in Green group on Tuesday traded in their characteristic green hats for American Indian feathered headdresses.
In a demonstration prompted by U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher's visit to Israel, the group was protesting U.S. support of the land-for-peace principle in negotiations between Israel and the Arabs.
The activists waved signs outside the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem that read, "We don't want Israel to become a reservation for endangered Jews."
One of the organizers, Ruth Matar, said the costumes were meant to remind Christopher of American history when he speaks to Israeli and Arab figures.
"We looked at a map in the encyclopedia, and found there were more than 50 tribes, which at one time owned all of the United States," Matar told Israel Radio. "They gave land for peace, and it certainly didn't work for them."

Since its introduction in 2003, the Nissan Titan has proven itself as a viable alternative to full-size rivals from Ford, Chevy and Dodge.
Despite an aging design, the Titan stays competitive with a gutsy, 5.6-liter V8 producing 317 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque. This grunt gives the Titan a 9,500-pound towing capacity, impressive for a truck in this class.
There are few changes for 2013: Nissan continues to offer the Titan as a Crew Cab or King Cab, with a variety of packages and bed sizes to suit a buyer's needs.

Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea (AFP) Nov 29, 2010
South Korean animal activists are pushing for the rescue of hundreds of dogs left behind when their owners fled the island shelled by North Korea last week.
Jeon Gyeong-Ok, of the Korean Society for Animal Freedom, said 200 to 300 animals, mostly dogs, were roaming the island or were left chained up or caged and without human care, the Korea Times reported Monday.
Some 12,000 people signed an online petition urging the government to evacuate, feed and shelter animals that have been abandoned since the strike on the island of Yeonpyeong near the contested sea border.
North Korea's hail of shells and missiles killed two marines and two civilians and sparked an exodus of almost all of the island's 1,500 residents on ferries that were too crowded to transport the animals.
Protecting the animals that have been left behind "is the least we can do to minimize the emotional damage," the petitioners said.
The activist group Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE) had already sent some members to the island to evacuate animals, and several veterinarians were planning to travel there Monday, the report said.
Authorities on Sunday urged hundreds of journalists on the island to leave for their own safety, citing the risk of more strikes as a US-South Korean naval drill brought more threats from the North, but most have stayed.

Triple-A roundup: Pill launches a pair
Elmore extends hitting streak to 30; Janish flirts with cycle
By MiLB.com Staff | June 23, 2012 10:25 PM ET
Jake Elmore went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored to extend his PCL season-high hitting streak to 30 games as Reno rolled past Salt Lake, 12-4. Rehabbing Geoff Blum smacked a grand slam and D-backs No. 17 prospect Ryan Wheeler added a three-run shot for the Aces. Doug Deeds doubled twice and scored twice for the Bees.
Sean O'Sullivan pitched six shutout innings in his debut for Las Vegas, which coasted past Sacramento, 7-2, for its third straight win. Adam Lind homered for the second straight night and Blue Jays top prospect Travis d'Arnaud tripled, singled, drove in a run and scored once for the 51s. Michael Taylor provided the River Cats' offense with a two-run single in the seventh.
Rockies No. 6 prospect Tim Wheeler went 4-for-5 with a run scored as Colorado Springs chased Mariners top prospect Danny Hultzen after three innings and beat Tacoma, 8-4. Chad Tracy had two hits and two RBIs, while Brandon Wood doubled twice and scored two runs for the Sky Sox. Hultzen was charged with five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out three in his Triple-A debut.

Evan Reed retired both batters he faced to get the victory in his Triple-A debut, while Ryan Jackson collected three hits and an RBI for the Redbirds.
Rehabbing Astros right-hander Bud Norris struck out seven over five innings as Oklahoma City held on for a 4-3 victory over visiting Omaha.

Rogers, the fifth overall pick in the 2004 Draft, gave up four runs on five hits over 6 2/3 innings for the win. Trent Oeltjen and Matt Angle drove in two runs apiece for the Isotopes.

Each year, members of the Cambridge Lions Club do something that makes my job a pleasure: They produce their annual show and I get to attend it.
I watched the dress rehearsal last night and, after it ended, could scarcely wait to get to my keyboard to tell about it.
I could urge you to attend the show because it is a fund-raising event and, by attending, you support a worthy cause.
I could tell you to attend because the Lions members are fine people deserving of your support.
If those are good enough reasons, by all means, attend.
But, even if you dont give two hoots for Cambridge or Guernsey County, you wont want to miss the Lions Roar: The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You!
Why appeal to a noble sentiment?
The prime reason to attend is simple: This show is fun.
Lions Roar is the clubs 31st annual production.
If ever you have been to one, you know what to expect.
Its like a sonnet. Every one of them is the same, yet each differs from the one before it.
The Lions keep the same format year after year, but, in every show, the content of the humor is both fresh and timely.
Much of it is communal, too, in the sense that it plays off local news and personalities.
Not only does the cast tell funny jokes, they tell funny insider jokes.
And much of the local humor is self-directed, which makes it all the more charming. These guys and gals are not afraid to play the fool if it will get a laugh.
Of course, humor seasons the show but does not dominate it.
No where is the talent of Guernsey County musicians highlighted more than in this production.
Not often will I admit to envy, but when I listen to these folks sing, I have to confess Im envious.
I wont delve into details nor give up any surprises.
Trust me on this. Lions Roar is a show you should see.
It opens tonight and shows continue through Saturday.
Curtain is at 7:30, but, if you dont have a ticket already, you will want to get to the Scottish Rite Auditorium early. Shows sell out fast.

Fine, if he has a good basis for foreseeing mutual compromises from the old foes.
It wasn't a question of foreseeing anything, just one of noticing what was in front of him—even if it didn't match his models.
And then, as day began to dawn, I gave up hope, foreseeing a speedy end to the chase and an enforced surrender.
foreseeing the end, her master had given orders to lower the whale-boat.
I would have been ashamed to let her see my bashfulness; I let her do as she liked, not foreseeing what would happen.
There was no foreseeing at that time whether he would be absent months or years.
The Grand Master of the Temple, foreseeing the result, collected his knights and the forces of the order around him.
And, foreseeing and knowing all, why had God answered his prayer?
"They have their horses," said Fred, foreseeing and agreeing with the response that his young friend would make.
Her father, however, foreseeing this threat, had told her just the reverse.

Exhaust work
Work is progressing slowly on the exhaust fabrication work. I want to tuck it all up as much as possible for ground clearance, and it takes some figuring out. I'm doing the work out at Motorsport Developments, cheers Sheldon!
I started with the x-pipe, and quickly modeled it in 3D to get the shape to cut in the 90º bends. These 304 stainless mandrel bends are expensive and I don't want to mess any up. I printed a template and cut as marked.
The tacked together x-pipe.
I had to modify the crossmember to get the sort of ground clearance I want for the 3.5" pipe. I want to be able to run the car nice and low!

"We always call back to something from our previous shows," explained Seguin.
And near the end of the play, Seguin offered an allusion to Fiddler on the Roof, yelling, "Sunrise, sunset!"
For example, when visiting the White House, Seguin yelled, "Check for a free pen!"
And Seguin plays one of the more anti-Semitic representations.
During all this time Seguin was on the other side of the building with his daughter.
Then came the learned Seguin; 'a right sour man was he,' said those who knew him.
Seguin only, with the doctor and a few men, is engaged some distance off, pitching a tent.
In our plans of the previous night, Seguin had not concealed the perils of our expedition.
That gentle, docile, emotional little sheep was not a Seguin, she often remarked.
"It is not improbable," said Seguin, in a low and emphatic voice.

Krepps sad part of BVA's coaching carousel
When Aaron Krepps announced Thursday that he was resigning as the football coach at Belle Vernon Area after five seasons, he marked the fourth head coach in the district to leave within the year.
Krepps follows the footsteps of former coaches Jack Jolley (wrestling), Eric James (boys' basketball) and Dan Palm (baseball).
That's an awful lot of change in a 12-month period for any school.
For me, it's just another sad commentary on the plight of coaches in the area.
I don't think anyone could ever doubt the knowledge of the game that Krepps brought to BVA's program, his work ethic or his dedication.
In that regard, it is a shame to see him step aside.
I know that in his five seasons, BVA never finished over .500. However, the Leps managed to reach the playoffs all five years.
No, the Leps did not win a playoff game in those five tries, but Krepps isn't the only coach the school has had who failed to find success in football's "second season."
The last BVA team to drink from the winning waters of the playoffs was the 2000 team.
But that's not why I'm writing this column.
I just think that BVA is worse off for losing a dedicated alum who was willing to put the time in to try to make his players better and portray his school in a positive light.
Aaron Krepps is one of the good guys in the coaching fraternity.
He may not be the most outgoing. After all, he never hid the fact that he did not enjoy the hobnobbing and popping camera flashes of annual picture day events.
But he went above and beyond the call of duty to prepare his players. He certainly wasn't shy about putting in the hours to prepare, that's for sure.
And Krepps was never one to expect more from his players than he was willing to give of himself. Nobody could ever accuse him of passing the buck.
Krepps was always a stand-up guy, never shied away from facing tough questions after tough losses.
In my more than 35 years writing sports, I never saw a coach whose career was more snake-bitten than his when it came to injuries to key players.
I remember in the summer I suggested that he go to a Catholic church and get himself or his team blessed with holy water in hopes of keeping the Leps safe from the injury bug.
He laughed. I was serious.
But one thing Krepps never did was use the steady stream of injuries as an excuse for not getting it done.
He was one of the guys I always found it easy to root for. I mean, you just want to see a coach who works that hard enjoy the fruits of his extensive labor.
That seldom happened for Krepps.
Even in the end, when he announced he was stepping down after five seasons, Krepps took the high road and handled his move with dignity.
I know that Aaron Krepps will land on his feet – both professionally and as a coach – again. That, have no doubt about. He has the makeup and drive to do so.
I just hope that BVA will find another coach who has his passion and drive, not only to win, but also to try and get his kids in college.
I know everybody wants to win and win big. That is the pressure on coaches everywhere, not just at BVA.

I don't know if BVA will come up with a coach who will win more frequently than Aaron Krepps did.
But the district will certainly have a hard time coming up with one who will work harder.

Methane emissions in U. S. are 75 percent higher than EPA estimatesFeb 14th, 2014 | By admin | Category: Lead Articles

The emissions from methane leaks in the natural gas delivery system in the United States are
between 25 percent and 75 percent higher than the Environmental Protection Agency estimates
depending on the area of the country examined according to new study conducted by Adam
Brandt, an assistant professor of energy resources engineering at Stanford University, and
colleagues from seven universities and seven national laboratories and government agencies that
was published in the Feb. 13, 2014, issue of the journal Science.
The researchers evaluated over 200 studies that ranged in scope from single plant operations to
nationwide studies and found that unintentional leaks of methane from natural gas pipelines
produced much higher levels of methane emissions than the EPA has verified. EPA limits for
production facilities were established in 1990 and have remained unchanged.
The researchers found 1,600 leaks in a single natural gas production facility. These leaks were
due to 50 faulty components that represent less than one tenth of one percent of all the
components in the plant that were physically in contact with natural gas.
The high rate of emissions is a source of environmental concern as the United States trends
toward the use of natural gas instead of coal or oil.
A more dramatic example of the effect of natural gas leaks was seen in a Dec. 17, 2013,
explosion and fire in the Gates City community of Birmingham, Alabama where one person died,
eight were injured, and an entire apartment complex destroyed due to a gas leak.

Lionel Ritchie is hardly the conventional chap to choose to flog beer to Australian blokes, but
Lion's total $10 million-plus "innovation" investment in a home draught beer unit called Tap King – already nicknamed Kingies – is based on a similar principal to the Nespresso coffee-pod system.
Nespresso, a Nestlé-owned business stormed the market with its cafe-quality coffee home units.
Tap King will allow six of Lion's key brands, including XXXX Gold, Tooheys New, James Boag's and James Squire, to be sold in 3.2 litre recyclable bottles which deliver a draught beer at home with a $32.99 dispenser unit Lion has developed with Visy.
The self-serve beer market is growing in Australia; Woolworths' Dan Murphy's liquor chain has started limited sales of take-away, draught craft beer, dispensed at in-store "growler stations".
This type of sale has caught on in the US among university students.
Lion's Tap King project – one of the biggest potential innovations in the beer sector in a decade – is targeting an older, at-home beer drinker.
Lion hopes the fridge-friendly, mini-keg format will lure more people to choose a glass of draught beer over wine, spirits or other beverages.
"About 70 per cent of drinking occasions are in the home and roughly 33 per cent of those occasions currently include beer," Lion's marketing director
"We know that wine and other categories tend to perform better [than beer]so we were asking, how do we bring a bit of that experience and ritual of pouring and consuming beer from a glass?
"We think it will enable beer to end up on the table with all sorts of food and for different occasions. You can see from our Lionel Ritchie campaign that we are clearly investing in Tap King."
The launch of the amusing ad campaign from ad agency BMF yesterday plays perfectly to the common bloke's fridge hunt for a beer using Ritchie's hit, Hello, is it me you're looking for?
The launch of Tap King – which will be on sale early in July – was delayed for three months after a final stage of consumer research in 300 homes showed there were "space wars" inside the fridge. Mr Tapper said the issue had been since been resolved. "We delayed it a few months to shorten the depth of the unit."
Mr Tapper declined to estimate what share Tap King could take of the 1.7 billion litres of beer consumed annually in Australia.
"We're genuinely looking at how we can build on the reputation for beer and possibly bring some new drinkers into the category," he said. "We think Tap King will be significant."

Understanding "No To Yes" Rapists
Me: "Your claim that what you do is not a crime as long as you do not physically force yourself on a woman is provably false."
If they are forcing themselves (Physically) then that IS rape. The difference *IS* the Rapist is not trying to turn a NO into a YES... [emphasis mine]
He (I'll refer to him as E from now on) responded with this:
E has made multiple errors. I'll highlight and debunk E's claims about the law later, but first I want to highlight that E's response provides insight into how boys and men who others may think of as decent human beings can rationalize sexual assault and why premeditated sexual assaults against non-strangers are frequently committed in a specific way.
Really? you want to go down this road? Have you ever heard of "Corpus Delicta" It's latin... it means "The Body of the Crime. In order to prosecute a crime, you have to establish the Corpus Dilecta. The Corpus Dilecta consists of 3 elements: 1. Harm, injury or loss that was caused by an unlawful action. 2. Evidence linking the Accused to the Harm or loss. 3. A method for correction (Jail, fine, etc...)
In a case where a man "wears down" the womans "No" responce, and they end up having sex (When she eventualy says "Yes") Where is the loss, injury, or harm?
Where is the Evidance? (Sayso is not tantamount to evidence)
You see, you think you are doing something great, and grand for women's rights...What you are actually doing, is attempting to mutate the law to define a crime as "Emotional" harm. And you cannot PROVE emotion.
You are not looking at this from a legal perspective, so it is understandable why you are fighting for what you are. Because you do not understand "Reason"-E(@mabtw)
I've read enough rants from men like E to be sure of his reaction if he successfully sells his claim to heterosexual women who do initiate sex and who hold his same ethical beliefs. As long as she doesn't physically force a man she can tell herself she has committed no crime. Instead of being proud of his success, many men like E spew venom at women who are their mirror image in their thinking and their actions.
They've seen the enemy and she is them.
This type of non-stranger rapist which E is trying to protect is half focused on the sexual assault he wants to commit while the other half is focused on how he will defend himself against rightful allegations of sexual assault. This 2-focused approach could not happen if these rapists were being ruled by their hormones. This approach also nullifies the claim that the rapists actions were accidental.
The focus on how to respond to rightful criminal allegations of rape explains why certain rapists would try to turn a no into a yes before committing sexual assault rather than immediately responding to no with a sexual assault.
As more potential jurors understand how these rapists are intending to manipulate not only their victims but everyone, including all those involved in criminal cases, jurors will be less likely to believe the defense's false claims of consent.
If E were talking about women who truly changed their mind about sex he wouldn't need to keep emphasizing that only physical force counts.
On his first point of Corpus Dilecta, if E's application of the definition of harm, injury or loss were used for all criminal cases then many other real crimes of violence would have to be considered non-crimes.
For example, if a man enters a daycare center, pulls a gun on the employees and children, holds them hostage for an hour, but then suddenly leaves without touching or shooting anyone then by E's standard there was no crime because the harm to those employees and children was only emotional. And as E said, "you cannot PROVE emotion."
If you accept E's position denying the harm of sex crimes then you must deny non-measurable harm for all crimes and therefore deny those crimes.
The actual provable harm in this crime is less than in the sexual assaults E is denying since there is no physical contact and no possibility of physical harm to the victims while so-called non-violent rapes can harm their victims physically through the transmission of STDs which could include HIV.
Under item 2 of Corpus Delicta, according to E, the testimony of victims from the daycare are not evidence. They are just sayso and should not be used to convict anyone.
But victim testimony is evidence in our criminal justice system. This is true whether the crime is rape or the crime is threatening a group of people with a gun.
If sayso is not tantamount to evidence as E states then witnesses who contradict an original claim of rape which was accompanied by measurable physical injuries and DNA evidence which undeniably links the defendant to the alleged crime must be ruled inadmissible.
But E's statement of fact is not meant to be applied to anyone but to those who report being victims of sex crimes.
As far as linking a defendant to a crime, if the defendant claims consent he has provided an important link. This link is stronger than the best visual ID processes for stranger crimes such as the man who enters a daycare with a gun.
Under item 3 of Corpus Delicta, I wonder if E views failures by the criminal justice system to hold certain types of rapists accountable as being evidence that there is no method for correction of those rapes and therefore those crimes cannot be crimes according to the Corpus Delicta and must therefore be viewed as legal actions irregardless of the applicable criminal statutes.
If E believed that the men accused of rape after wearing down a woman's "no" had legal consent he wouldn't need to focus on his belief that the harm these men do should not count. If she truly and freely consented then there simply is no harm, emotional or otherwise.
But E has acknowledged the emotional harm. Negating the importance of this emotional harm is the core of his support for his claim that, "Rape is physically forced Intercourse, nothing more."
Unless the emotional harm done to those held at gunpoint is negated across the board in criminal courts and in our system of law then those who negate the emotional harm done to victims of sexual violence are proclaiming their opposition to the basic tenets of our sytem of law.

DETROIT (Jul. 13)
Warnings to the Arab countries that an oil embargo would be "a hostile act" and to the Soviet Union that Jewish emigration is "a central issue" in Soviet-American relations are parts of the Republican platform that goes before the party's convention Tuesday for ratification.
The voluminous platform report of the full-106 member committee on resolutions mode available yesterday will be finally discussed at the convention in the immense Cobo Hall at its first sessions tomorrow while opposition to some domestic proposals may arise, none is foreseen to the foreign policy section with its emphasis on challenging Soviet power under the slogans "a policy of peace through strength; weakness provokes aggression." Israel is counted upon in the platform draft for cooperation with NATO and Egypt against Soviet domination in the Middle East.
Besides languages against an embargo, the platform draft also opposes the Arab boycott of American companies doing business with Israel and frowns on deliveries of weapons affecting regional stability. The latter element apparently stems from the bipartisan opposition in the Congress to Saudi Arabia's request for enhancing the offensive capability of the 60 F-15 warplanes it has purchased from the U.S. for about $2.5 billion.
While Saudi Arabia has threatened to withdraw its purchase order it has not pledged it would not use the planes against Israel whose F-15s do not have the improvements the Saudis have asked for.
"Republicans recognize that the Carter Administration's vacillations have left friend and foe alike unsure as to U.S. policies," a section of the Mideast plank says.
"While re-emphasizing our commitment to Israel, a Republican Administration will pursue close ties and friendship with moderate Arab states. We will initiate the economic and military framework for assuring long-term stability both in the internal development of regional states and an orderly marketplace for the area's resources. We will make clear that any re-imposition at an oil embargo would be viewed as a hostile act. We will oppose discriminatory practices, including boycotts, and will discourage arms sales which contribute to regional instability."
Considering that officials of major oil companies, construction concerns and other American businesses with important commercial interests in the Middle East traditionally wield brood influence in the Republican Party, the platform's language directed at the Arab states is seen by observers here as a high bid to friends of Israel for-support of Ronald Reagon's Presidential candidacy.
Other aspects of the Mideast section, as previously reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (Daily News Bulletin, July 10) when the platform subcommittee on the Middle East was writing the plank, appear unaltered in the final draft. On Jerusalem, it says: "Republicans believe that Jerusalem should remain an undivided city with continued free and unimpeded access to all holy places by people of all faiths."
There is no mention of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or that the city should be under Israeli sovereignty as some on the platform committee has urged or that several leading Republican Congressmen had demanded in debates at the Capital over the past three weeks.
The final draft retains the segment against dealing with the Palestine Liberation Organization, saying "with respect to an ultimate peace settlement, Republicans reject any call for involvement of the PLO as not in keeping with the long-term interest of either Israel or the Palestinian Arabs."
The draft also declares "we believe the establishment of a Palestinian state on the West Bank would be destabilizing and harmful to the peace process. Applauding "the vision and courage" of Egyptian President Anwar Sodat, it pledges "to build our relationship with Egypt in cultural affairs, economic development and military cooperation."
Regarding Israel, the draft says as previously outlined: "The sovereignty, security and integrity of the State of Israel is a moral imperative and serves the strategic interests of the U.S. Republicans reaffirm our fundamental and enduring commitment to this principle. We will continue to honor our nation's commitment through political, economic, diplomatic, and military aid. We fully recognize the strategic importance of Israel and the deterrent role of its armed forces in the Middle East and East-West military equations."
In its section on U.S.-Soviet relations, the draft says: "Republicans deplore growing anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union and the mistreatment of 'refusniks' by Soviet authorities. The decline in exit visas to Soviet Jews and others seeking religious freedom and the promulgation of evermore rigorous conditions inhibiting their migration is a fundamental effort to the human rights and the UN Charter.
Republicans will make the subject of emigration from the Soviet Union a central issue in Soviet-American relations. Human rights in the Soviet Union will not be ignored as it has been during the Carter Administration. As a party to the Helsinki conference Final Act, a Republican Administration will insist on full Soviet compliance with the humanitarian provisions of the agreement."

Hey guys.
One of our domain controllers is showing up multiple application crashes (event id: 1000). The offending applications is wmiprvse.exe. These crashes are happening approximately every 15 minutes, which leads me to suspect this is related to Spiceworks querying the server status through WMI.
Here is the event in question:
"Aplicación con errores wmiprvse.exe, versión 6.0.6002.18005, marca de hora 0x49e01c05, módulo con errores ntdll.dll, versión 6.0.6002.18541, marca de tiempo 0x4ec3e3d5, código de excepción 0xc0000374, desplazamiento con errores 0x000b06b7, Id. de proceso 0x1630, hora de inicio de la aplicación 0x01cdb1638950d3f7."
Server is a Windows 2008 x86. It is doing pretty mundane stuff (AD, DFS, print server, WSUS, SEP signature distribution).
Any thoughts?

One curious thing I just noticed: during or just after the crash, two separate instances of wmiprvse.exe are reported to be running in the task manager. One owned by SYSTEM and the other owned by Network Service. After a while only the SYSTEM owned is left running.

That must be rare! I must be lucky because I caught a shiny Graveler (orange). I hate it but my freind loves it so for now I am keeping Graveler. If you look at a shiny Pokemon's summary and look at its picture their should be a star.
I had no idea what a shiny pokemon was when I caught one. It was a bidoof in lake verity.
i managed to catch a Lv. 40 red Garados, and a green oddish.
If shiny pokemon evolves will its' next stage in evolution be shiny too?
my sister caught a shiny whismer, and when it evolved it a shiny loudred. i also read in a guidbook that a shiny pokemon stays shiny when it evolves. of course all shinies will stay shiny unless you find a code that deletes it . dont try. I have a shiny woo bat and boldoe and conkeldore and finally a shinytranquill they willl all evolve and stay shiny
Shiny Magikarp Coincidence
believe it or not, right after i caught the the shiny gyardos at the lake of rage, i encountered a shiny magikarp.
but that sucks because if i evolved it, people would just think i got it from the lake o rage.
