It's exactly a week until the big day, and aside from celebrating by means of our mini-giveaways this week, we're also looking at doing a spot of last minute shopping.
In November we featured a 'money no object' wish-list, but we're not too sure that Santa's going to have the funds to make our dreams come true. We're getting a little more realistic now, so here's the Bike Magic wish-list/last-minute shopping guide of our 'top of list' items, stuff we want and you should too:
iON Air Pro CameraiON's Air Pro camera dares to be different and it shapes up as one of the most exciting available. We want!
We reviewed the iON Air Pro camera earlier this year and were so impressed that we want one to keep. There seem to be so many cameras coming out that are aimed at sportspeople, but most of them are seemingly riding the coattails of one particular, very successful number. The iON dares to be different and we like it just for that reason alone. But it's the camera's superb build and recording quality that set it in a league of its own. Uploading video and photos couldn't be simpler either – an iPhone App allows direct and instant data transfers to Facebook, Twitter or cloud storage.
From £199.00
Dirt Mag SubscriptionDirt Mag… Well, they're in the office next door so we had to give them a shout!
We've moved into the same offices as the guys from Dirt Magazine, and we can't help but pick up the mag and browse features… The fact that the entire office is overrun with back-copies of the 130+ issues so far ensures that!
Cube Bikes hatSome nice hats from Cube Bikes just came through the post – our heads are now warm! Yours may well be later this week when we give one away too…
It's winter, we're mountain bikers, we like hats. Cube have sent us some cool looking hats, if you want to get yourself one then stay tuned..
£Priceless, well that 'look' is anyway.
650b Tyres/wheelsShwalbe are the only brand currently making a full range of 650b tyres… Thankfully they're very good.
We also want a bike that can take the big hoops. They're all the rage in theory but just how many companies will be producing them and how many will stick to the 'regular' 26/29 in 2013?
Renthal Fatbar LiteRenthal's Fatbar Lite: not your average XC/Trail bar but the 740mm width and laid-back shape improves the feel of any bike.
Renthal bars are all the rage, and for good reason. These Fatbar "Lite" bars are 740mm wide (what most trail riders cut bars down to anyway), and save 100g over the standard 780mm Fatbars.
Eclipse inner tubesEclipse tubes: they don't come cheap, but they also reportedly don't puncture all too easily… There's nothing of them – lighter even than a tubeless set-up.
The world's lightest inner tubes may seem expensive (because they are!), but if you add up the cost of going tubeless, they seem less ridiculous – and apparently this system is lighter than even tubeless. Add to that the fact that the guys from Fox suspension (who introduced us to them) say they're incredibly resilient to punctures, and it's a good deal! The only negative is that, as yet, they don't have a UK importer…
RockShox Reverb StealthRockshox Reverb Stealth: for trail riding or really any sort of mountain biking, a dropper post is almost invaluable. Such a simple invention but it makes riding technical descents so much easier.
"You don't know what you've got until it's gone." It's true, and a Reverb is the perfect example – it crept up on us with a "why didn't I think of that?!" kind of simplicity, and now any trail/all-mountain bike without one feels obsolete. The Stealth feature (internal routing in the frame) just tops it off.
A proper tool kitPedros tool kit: we featured this in the 'Money No Object' list last month, but if Santa's budget won't stretch then we'll settle for any of its contents.
What tool kit depends on your personal preference, but they're essential, unless you want to throw money around getting someone else to do your work at a premium price. Also, it's less hassle to do it yourself, you don't have waiting times, and you'll actually understand how your bike works! Good news on all sides.
£ = ?…
Specialized Storm tyresSpecialized Storm tyre – they're on the 'aggressive' end of the mud tyre spectrum, but perfect for the current horrendous trail conditions on our commute to work.
It's winter in Britain. It's muddy. And unless you want to spend half your ride on your back wondering where it went wrong, you need some good rubber underneath you. These tyres from Specialized can deal with a lot of mud, and aren't too slow rolling in the 2.0" width…
DMR Vault pedalsDMR Vault flat pedals: flats aren't to every trail rider's tastes, but they're a great way to improve skills and confidence in the winter gloop. Vaults are some of the best out there.
DMR Vaults are probably some of the best flat pedals out there – perfect for honing your skills in winter or simply to give you a little extra confidence over a set of SPDs. Light, thin, simple and colourful. Pair them with some 5:10 shoes and you're onto an amazing combination.

I don't know if I've ever fully shared details from when Bubba & I were tour guides in Paris. We led wide-eyed visitors around the city on bikes and segways while sharing everything we knew about French history and the city of Paris. It was a hoot, to say the least. Some of my favorite moments in life happened while we lived there, and for that, I love Paris dearly.
All of that to say, we're leaving for Europe in 9 days and I couldn't be more excited about it. First, we'll be going to Luxembourg for a week long science conference that Bubba is speaking at. The conference was the instigator of this whole trip. We decided we might as well stay if we're traveling all the way over there. Right?? Then we plan to spend Easter Sunday weekend in Belgium, drinking as many Belgian beers ( our fav ) as possible. Next up is Paris… lots and lots of Paris. Our time will be split between the city and day-trips, Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel to name a few. We'll also be there for my 28th birthday so I'm sure we will do something extra fun and special for that, duh.
I plan to share our trip in great detail so get ready! But for now, hit me up with anything and everything you guys love about these places ~ I'm in planning mode!!

What Do You Prefer When It Comes to Manscaping?
But will they? While I appreciate a well-groomed man, I don't love the idea of a nearly hairless one. Years ago, I dated a guy who shaved all of his body hair. His arms and legs were always prickly, which I found uncomfortable and unpleasant. And I know hairy guys who feel unnecessarily embarrassed for having a little (or a lot of) fur on their chests and backs. Overall, I'd be happier if body hair weren't treated like the worst thing evah — for both men and women. Would you rather see men look natural, completely shaved, or somewhere in between?

Re: What settings do I use for my yahoo mail account?? in response to dj7008
Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won't open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:

Respond to Review of The Beehive Cafe
by Petesternz
Review: We stayed at the Beehive hotel and ate here a couple of times, especially at breakfast. It was really hit and miss and depended who was cooking the food. We had one guy who seemed to have been there awhile who did a great job. As for the other server, well, she was nice, but the less said of her food, the better. This food is vegetarian, and they are not always that vegan friendly. We actually had real trouble ordering, and did better at many of the pizza places in the area. They have a few menu options and the servers we had were not particularly interested in adapting the choices available. Again, it's hit and miss. We had a beautiful bean soup one evening, and lovely oatmeal with soy milk one morning. We also had some really boring pasta, and one day we actually had to leave as they could not provide us with any vegan options. I think it's worth a visit, but be prepared to walk if necessary.

Researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) have identified the gene GATA 6 as responsible for epithelial cells -which group together and are static- losing adhesion and moving towards a new site. This process, which is common to developing organisms, is very similar to one that occurs in metastasis, when tumour cells escape from the original tumour and invade new tissue. "This process explains why Gata 6 is found in cancers of the liver, pancreas and colon, thus allowing tumour cells to acquire metastatic properties", stresses Jordi Casanova, CSIC professor and head of the Drosophila Morphogenesis Group at IRB Barcelona, where the study has been conducted. The journal Developmental Cell is to publish the results of this study this week.
In addition, Gata 6 triggers a genetic programme that favours the survival and adaptation of cells in new tissue. It also promotes the expression of some enzymes, the so-called metalloproteases, which degrade the cellular matrix, thus allowing cells to migrate and enter new tissue. Furthermore, Gata 6 induces the gene Forkhead, which is a survival factor. "When cells start migrating they are subjected to many changes and to stress, and in these adverse conditions many can die. This gene protects them against death", explains Kira Campbell, "Juan de la Cierva" post-doctoral fellow with Casanova's lab and first author of the article. Tumour cells hold metalloproteases and Forkhead.
From the Drosophila fly to cancer
Once again the small fly D. melanogaster, used in developmental studies, has shed light on processes linked to cancer. Casanova's team, which specializes in morphogenesis, has revealed the mechanism by which epithelial cells transform into mesenchymatic cells during gut development in fly embryos. The Drosophila gut is an endodermal organ, as is the colon, the liver and the pancreas. "What we have discovered is that the progra

Session Name: Acute Myeloid Leukemia - Therapy, excluding Transplantation II
Sunday, December 6, 2009, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Hall E, Poster Board II-44
About Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia is a form of blood cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 13,000 new cases of AML will be diagnosed in the United States in 2008. The median age of a patient with AML is about 67 years old. Standard treatment for patients 60 years or older with AML includes systemic combination chemotherapy. The median survival for patients receiving induction chemotherapy, which is associated with high mortality, is 6-11 months, with shorter survival for patients over the age of 60 years. The five-year survival rate for AML is less than 15 percent due to refractory and relapsed disease associated with standard treatments. According to a report from Decision Resources, the U.S. AML market is expected to more than double by 2015.

Scotus Rides Again
By Dennis Howard
The Supreme Court decision in the same sex marriage case (Obergefell v. Hodges) represents the most serious attack on states' rights and the democratic process since Roe v. Wade reversed existing laws that had been on the books for over 100 years.
In this case, the Court overrode democratic votes in 32 out of 35 states where the issue had already been decided by the voters. That's a 91% margin of victory, which is enough to make a majority in Communist Russia, but apparently not here. Over there, 90% majorities are honored, but here they can be overridden by a decision of five Supreme Court Justices.
In fact, there is no way that either Obergefell or Roe could have been become law through the normal legislative process. For the Court to so cavalierly override the will of the people is the kind of tyranny Americans once had a revolution over.
Even today, 42 years later, Roe v. Wade could not be passed by legislative process in all but a handful of the most liberal states in the country. The same holds true for the same sex marriage decision. But Scotus says "So what!" and may yet get away with it.
Welcome to a permanently divided America
Both decisions overrode the deeply held convictions of the vast majority of the American people in order to pander to a small minority. How wide the gap between minority and majority views can be seen in the demographics. According to the U.S. Statistical Abstract, a mere 0.5% of all U.S. households were made up of committed gay and lesbian couples in 2008, while 50.5% were traditional married couples living together.
Yet the Court chose to redefine marriage for the vast majority of Americans who are heterosexual by nature, faith and long tradition, and impose its own definition out of the clear blue sky.
Marriage for the procreation, education and protection of children is now legally obsolete. Scotus has rewritten every dictionary in the land. The word "marriage" no longer means the lifetime commitment of a man and a woman for the primary purpose of raising a family. Indeed, the very words "husband" and "wife" have been rendered obsolete.
"Married" folks will now be "spouse #1" or "spouse #2." Take your pick.

Pope Francis' visit to the Philippines was important for reasons beyond the record crowd of six million people who turned out to greet him.
It was important because Pope Francis chose his encounter with the youth of the Philippines to deliver a powerful pro-life message to the youth of the world.
Why did he do it there? With its deeply Catholic roots, the Philippines are like the Ireland of the Far East -- except that they have twice the rate of natural increase that Ireland does, and their birth rate is 59% higher. Indeed, the Republic of the Philippines is the only western country with a birth rate to match that of the Muslim world. Elsewhere in the West, populations are shrinking.
In his address to youth, Pope Francis urged young people to think clearly, feel passionately, and act courageously in their encounter with today's moral, social, political, and economic problems.
He also urged them "to learn how to cry" -- something only humans can do when confronting tragedy. He didn't specifically mention abortion, but the connection is still clear.
The last thing pro-abortion ideologues want is for people to mourn the tragedy abortion has brought to the world. The very nature of abortion is that it prevents children from ever crying their first cry, which is nothing less than their primal cry for life.
The Pope invited young people to ask: "Have I learned how to weep, how to cry? Have I learned how to weep for someone who has been discarded, a child who is homeless, a young person with a drug problem, someone who has been abused?"
In the United States, we've aborted 58 million children. And we've done so in a way that no one will ever hear them cry. Many late term abortions are done by sticking a scissors in their heads as they emerge from their mother's wombs – so that no one will ever hear them cry. Once that first cry is heard, the instinctive human response is to defend that child's right to life.

Far and away the best way to turn the tide of our anti-life culture is by reaching out to today's young people before they enter the abortion industry's marketing pipeline. Our Celebrate Life seminars for teens demonstrate that young people are hungry for the truth that will set them free. We regularly see a 75% increase in strongly pro-life teens, a 40% decrease among confused kids in the middle, and a 15% reduction among teens who are pro-choice. But to do this, we urgently need your help. Your gift of $10, $20, $30, $50 or $100 makes you a vital member of our Celebrate Life seminar support team.

Solving Today's Crisis of Faith
Bishop Arthur Seratelli of Paterson recently asked a very important question: "Why do we face the sad loss of so many of our young people from the practice of the faith?"
He cited Pew studies showing that one-third of all adults under 30 are no longer connected with any church. Indeed, four out of five abandon the practice of their faith by the time they leave high school and move on to college.
These are stunning statistics. But what exactly has caused this crisis of faith among the young? And what can we do to change it?
High on my list of causes would be the 57.7 million young lives lost to abortion since 1967. They represent an unprecedented 30% loss in the under-47 generation with huge implications for their social, economic and spiritual well-being. Fully 88% of those abortions occur to young women age 15 to 35 with the highest abortion ratios among pregnant teens.
So why should we be surprised that this same group is suffering a huge loss of faith?
Abortion has certainly diminished young people's hopes for the future. Roe v. Wade killed off the youth market that had driven our economy since World War II. If not for abortion, today's youth market would be 43% bigger than it is today. Indeed, the whole U.S. economy would be at least 20% larger.
Abortion has also divided America dramatically. Fully 90% of abortions occur in just half the states. Six states account for 54%. The other 25 states account for just 10%.
How can faith survive in a land that is so sharply divided?

Can America Survive
the Abortion Boom?
By Dennis Howard © Copyright 2014
Can America survive the abortion boom?
That's no longer an open question. It first occurred to me in 1992 when I retired after a long career as a journalist and later as a marketing consultant for companies like Waring, Toshiba, Baker Industries, Cessna, AT&T and others.
That's when I first took a look at the astonishing number of abortions in the United States – some 30 million by then. Back then, that was equal to the population of the 32 largest cities in the U.S. – from New York all the way down to cities the size of Austin, Texas.
Based on this preliminary analysis, I predicted an economic crisis starting in the year 2000 and continuing until 2020. Not only did my predictions come true on schedule, but our latest research shows that the impact is far deeper than even I realized back then.
My current forecast is that, unless America comes to its senses about abortion and birth control within the next few years, it will be all over for the United States as the beacon of freedom and economic prosperity for the world. That could easily happen by 2025 if things don't change.
Why is the outlook getting worse? For one thing, the economic impact of the abortion boom is deepening, not abating. Today, we have had a cumulative 58 million abortions, nearly double the 30 million we had in 1992.
And the number of cities with an equivalent population has soared to include our 88 largest cities. Within 3 years, that number will reach 100.
It's as if we had a nuclear war with a 100% casualty rate in all our major cities with populations of 200,000 or more. You would have to call that near total destruction!
However, that's just the tip of the iceberg . . .

Green, Energy Efficient Homes: The Opportunity for Real Estate Professionals
Tuesday, Feb. 25 | 11 am - 1 pm
Recent surveys show that more homeowners want a green home. Green homes are healthier and reduce energy costs and maintenance. Are you prepared to assist these homebuyers?
Join us to find out how you can build your business with Energy Upgrade California and learn more about:
- The value of green homes: Using energy efficiency retrofits to your advantage
- Energy Upgrade California: Making rebates and incentives work for your clients
- Marketing resources: Signage and easy to use surveys
- Financing opportunities: Helping your clients find an affordable green home
Expand Your Knowledge—And Your Client Base
You'll learn how to increase your knowledge to act as a trusted advisor to your clients on green real estate. That means helping them find a fixer-upper and transforming it into a more comfortable home with lower utility and maintenance costs, or making the right upgrades before a sale to boost its value. Learn how to help them navigate the cash rebates, incentives, green certifications, and green financing necessary to achieve their goals. Then learn how to market green and grow your business to attract new customers.
Demand for Green Homes Is Growing
Green real estate is not a fad, but a fundamental change in the market. Nearly 40% of home buyers consider high-efficiency heating and cooling features to be "very important," and two-thirds of state governments have currently implemented green building policies. Furthermore, a 2012 study found that green certified homes – with labels such as Energy Star or GreenPoint Rated – sold for up to 9% more than homes without a green label.
People have different motivations for going green: some want to reduce their impact on the environment, others want to save money, reduce waste, or create a healthier home for their children. Our trainings will provide you with the education to support your clients' green endeavors no matter their objective.

The NASDAQ Staff Determination letter states that historically, Panels have generally viewed a reverse stock split implemented within 30 to 60 days as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve a bid price deficiency, but that recently the authority of Panels to grant additional time to companies was modified so that a Panel could allow up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff Determination letter, if the Panel deems it appropriate. The letter notes that the company may wish to consider presenting a plan that includes a discussion of the events that it believes will enable it to regain compliance in this time frame and a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant Peregrine's request for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
As announced on July 25, 2007, Peregrine received a letter from NASDAQ advising that the bid price of the company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Capital Market as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) for the previous 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4), the company was provided 180 calendar days and granted an additional 180-day-extension period, or until July 21, 2008, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

While the next Rugby World Cup in England is still more than three years away, the events of the next month may have a direct bearing on shaping its outcome.
On the surface, the autumn Tests are merely the latest building block in a four-year cycle between global gatherings, a chance for the home nations to assess their options before the Six Nations, blood some new players, and claim the odd southern hemisphere scalp.
But this year's matches have an added edge, given the draw for the 2015 tournament will take place on Monday 3 December, two days after the forthcoming international series ends.
World Test rankings
|Rating point
New Zealand
South Africa
The top four in the International Rugby Board world rankings on that date will avoid each other in the World Cup group stages, while those ranked five to eight will only face one other top-eight nation.
So England (currently fourth), France (fifth) and Wales (sixth) - separated by a point or so in the world governing body's convoluted system - are not short of motivation if they want to improve their prospects of an easier passage into the knockout stages in three years' time.
Neither are Ireland - who will probably need to beat either South Africa or Argentina to avoid dropping out of the top eight - or Scotland, who will likely need to win at least two of their three autumn Tests to make it into the second group of seeds.
While renewed optimism invariably accompanies a new international season in the northern hemisphere - "We aim to win all four Tests," says England assistant coach Andy Farrell; "We have to be ambitious, go for four out of four," says Wales captain Sam Warburton - recent history compels us to put such aspirations into context.
Of 34 matches played in Europe by the old Tri-Nations 'big three' of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa since 2008, the hosts have won on only six occasions.
The All Blacks don't really do autumn Test defeats anymore.
Since their last loss (31-28) at Twickenham on 9 November 2002, and a 20-20 draw in France the following week, they have won their last 24 Tests during the autumn period, completing 'Grand Slams' over the four home nations in 2005, 2008 and 2010.
"New Zealand are, by a million miles, the best team on the planet right now and I don't give Scotland any chance of breaking their 107-year duck - but they can be competitive. This would set them up for a chance of beating South Africa the following week and then to finish the series off with a win over Tonga in Aberdeen. One win? A must. Two wins? A step forward; Three wins? A miracle!"
Their only Test defeat of any kind on European soil during the past decade came in their infamous World Cup quarter-final loss to the French in Cardiff in 2007.
That record is all the more remarkable considering the matches come at the end of the southern hemisphere season, when fatigue and injuries usually catch up with teams at some point.
The other members of the big three, by contrast, are prone to losing the odd Test or two on their end-of-season European jaunts.
Australia have lost 10 of their 27 in the past decade, including three times to England, twice each to Wales, Ireland and France, and memorably to Scotland on their last visit two years ago.
South Africa have also lost 10 of their 22 matches in November/December during the same period, including twice in Edinburgh and three times in their last four trips to Dublin.
So what are the prospects for the home nations this time as they ponder a critical month?
While Farrell says "it would be accepting defeat to say our goal was to get three victories", you suspect the England management would be pleased with that - in private at least.
New Zealand's historical tendency to lose at Twickenham once every decade (1983, 1993, 2002) might give red rose supporters hope, but defeats in their last nine encounters with the All Blacks since 2003 do not augur so well.
"If Wales play well I think we'll win three from four. Looking at the squad, they're capable of beating Australia, Argentina and Samoa, but New Zealand are head and shoulders above everyone else at the moment."
An injury-blighted Australia and under-strength South Africa would traditionally be seen as an exciting prospect for England at home, but the Wallabies won in London in 2008 and 2009 and the Springboks have breached the old 'Fortress' on their last three visits to south-west London.
South Africa may be missing a dozen frontline performers, but England are also light in certain positions, notably at hooker where the loss of Dylan Hartley is a blow.
Stuart Lancaster's young team are on the road to recovery after a promising Six Nations campaign and creditable displays in South Africa, but a seminal performance to match the false-dawn highlight of the Martin Johnson era - the 35-18 dismantling of Australia - might be a while off yet.
Of the home nations, perhaps only Wales - assuming they negotiate Argentina and Samoa beforehand - currently have sufficient quality and confidence to give New Zealand any pause for thought.
The 2012 Grand Slammers are without influential tight-head Adam Jones - a concern amplified by scrummaging fanatics Argentina providing the first opposition at the Millennium Stadium - and influential flanker Dan Lydiate will also be missed.
But if those filling in for Jones - Aaron Jarvis and Paul James get first crack on Saturday - can keep their end up at scrum time and the Six Nations champions can generate enough quick ball, they still have a backline bristling with game-breakers and likely 2013 Lions.
"Ireland have their first opportunity to put their summer thrashing by New Zealand behind them. This task is heavily hampered by the ever mounting injury list and the pressure that two losses would most likely drop them into the third band for seeding for the 2015 World Cup. A win against South Africa or Argentina is a must!"
Ireland - deprived of six potential tourists in Brian O'Driscoll, Rob Kearney, Rory Best, Paul O'Connell, Stephen Ferris and Sean O'Brien - will do well to repeat their Dublin victories over the Springboks of 2004, 2006 and 2009.
With a clutch of relative newcomers and a non-cap match against Fiji to negotiate in between, Declan Kidney must hope he has more resources at his disposal by the time their critical final match against Argentina on 24 November rolls around.
Scotland, meanwhile, remain maddeningly inconsistent or gloriously unpredictable, depending on your point of view. Andy Robinson's men already have a Six Nations wooden spoon and an unbeaten southern hemisphere tour on their CV for 2012.
If a first ever win over the All Blacks remains a remote prospect, repeating their 2010 win over the Springboks at Murrayfield is not beyond the realms of possibility, with Tonga to follow in Aberdeen.
Any dimming of the southern stars by the north's leading lights provides sustenance as winter approaches.

Lets be honest Wales are far to OVERHIPED! Not only did they lose 3 TESTS, against a very below par Australia team in the summer. BUT their squad consists of players who are currently playing very poorly for their clubs - who in addtition are the WORST in europe.
Comment number 57. Posted by RespectMyRugbyAuthoritahon 9 Nov 2012 10:23
Taff -The best you have to throw is "we await a RWC away win". Remind me when Wales won the RWC? Remind me the last time Wales beat NZ? Shoudnt be hard, its only happened 3 times in 107 years, and all of those were at home. I'll help you out: 1953.
S&A Pie: there are no problems with NZ rugby. For proof, please refer to current rankings. That is all.
Comment number 64. Posted by RespectMyRugbyAuthoritahon 9 Nov 2012 10:36
Jamesmatthew, you are absolutely right. What a farce it was that the AB's won that tournament. France deserved it. It just sucks that that Bill sits on Henry's coffee table, glowing brightly as the proof of rugby world dominance. I hate staring at it. And Wales are real close to the AB's. Got the right nationality coach. Shame that the results are not the same tho
Comment number 6. Posted by os99on 8 Nov 2012 17:42
Wales are an average team, who had a lucky year and an Australian B team proved it
Comment number 28. Posted by cool calm and calculatedon 8 Nov 2012 21:00
People may crtisise England for their selection policy and playing style, blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day they win more often against the SH teams than wales, ireland, scotland, france, and are considered by most the most difficult team up north to beat.
Comment number 114. Posted by Mr Ichallenon 9 Nov 2012 13:31
@sbaghomian: We all have them. This stupid site didn't let me post until you had corrected yourself.
I still disagree. 1/2 Wales opponents are ranked below them, so they go in as favourites on 2 games, Eng only have 1 ranked below so go in as favourites for 1.
It doesn't really matter though, just means Eng stand to gain more or lose less in the rankings, and Wales stand to gain less or lose more.
Comment number 100. Posted by Sporkon 9 Nov 2012 12:27
Don't see how Wales have given themselves the 4 toughest games of all NH teams as they are only playing 2 teams ranked above them (New Zealand and Australia)
Comment number 102. Posted by Come on Waleson 9 Nov 2012 12:47
@97 ... Sure that also makes a difference
Over time it's probably a good reflection, but there will always be the argument that says
When you win a GS you should be above the sides you beat ....
Whichever way you calculate these there will always be an alternative argument.
Comment number 104. Posted by Come on Waleson 9 Nov 2012 12:59
The Lions is such an awesome event.
One nation can go and run a side so v close
Another may go and win
Yet put 4 together and on paper unbeatable, yet great players thrust together does not a winning side necessarily make.
So pleased we are back to a proper tour
Injuries will play a huge part on the final first test starting 15 and I am sure the 3rd test 15 will have at least 4 changes in it
Comment number 117. Posted by bagmanon 9 Nov 2012 13:36
@114 Well, I wish you all the best (regardless of difficulty). I'm tipping you boys to scalp South Africa this time around - I hope you manage it, and Australia have some injuries so if you can keep their back line quiet you're min for a shout there too. I'm not overly optimistic about our (Wales) chances, as our scrum really does pivot around Adam Jones ability and we don't have any depth there.

LA FitnessRead MoreWading through indoor heated pools, the instructors at British Swim School teach independent swimming skills to learners aged 3 months and older, adhering to a curriculum devised by British national swimmer Rita Goldberg. The 30-minute one-on-one sessions and small-group lessons, containing six or fewer swimmers, elucidate essential techniques for water safety and the importance of speaking fluent manatee. Swimboree (ages 3 months–3 years with parents) and Young Minnows sessions (ages 1–3 years without parents) teach wee swimmers basic water-survival skills, such as the back float. Turtle One and Turtle Two classes focus on freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke maneuvers, honing more structured swimming skills in older kiddos. British Swim School's Shark courses enhance stamina and speed and teach even more demanding strokes, such as the butterfly and little-known mountain-goat flail. Certain British Swim School classes require parents to participate in the water or to supervise from the pool deck, and adults-only lessons allow grown-ups to refine their own abilities without the supervision of a toddler.8181 Northwest 12th StreetDoral, FL US
Anta's Fitness and Self DefenseRead MoreJulio Anta first told his father that he wanted to be a professional martial artist and bodybuilder at age 7. He dedicated the next several decades of his life to mastering his craft, immersing himself in disciplines including judo, kung fu, and tae kwon do. However, solitary training just wasn't cutting it. Julio was compelled to share his understanding of self-defense and physical conditioning, and soon, a studio was born. As the owner of Anta's Fitness and Self Defense, Julio empowers his students with a combination of practical self-defense classes and inspiring fitness-based workouts. The studio embraces a number of diverse martial arts, and uses a modern understanding of fitness and physiology to teach the timeless techniques and philosophies that define each style. The schedule features these self-defense sessions along with fitness-oriented classes that tone muscles and improve cardiovascular health with Pilates techniques, kettlebell workouts, and games of Red Rover in the studio's wind tunnel. Additionally, the instructors offer programs for children and teenagers that nurture budding self-control and confidence in a supportive environment.10719 NW 58th StDoral, FL US
All Star SoccerRead MoreWith its shades open, Revo Entertainment Center looks like a typical indoor field. With its shades drawn, though, its true colors show. Its true glow-in-the-dark colors, to be exact. The fun center's 3D murals give off an ethereal light that alludes to the spot's specialty: glow-in-the-dark games, that come to life with the help of 3D glasses. During Glow Soccer, youngsters play a game similar to traditional soccer, except in the dark, the field lit by each team's glow shirts and the ball itself. LazerBall, on the other hand, fuses paintball and laser tag into a single, cosmically-themed sport in which players shoot soft pellets and laser light at each other in a battle over the fictional Planet Revo. Though similar to paintball pellets, the LazerBalls do not explode upon impact and won't stain clothes or ruin any priceless artworks used as shields. For littler laser warriors, the center also offers an age-appropriate version of the game known as Lazerball Soft, which uses extra soft spongy balls that are gentle on tiny torsos and limbs.10395 Northwest 41st StreetDoral, FL US

Backing up Enterprise Vault 10 with Backup Exec 2012 + Agent
We are TRYING to change backup solution for Enterprise Vault, from Commvault to Backup Exec installed on the actual Vault server.
We installed Backup Exec and ran a backup, but it completed instantly without doing anything. This, I was told, was due to the lack of a Vault Backup agent.
So we purchased the backup agent that covers EV and DBs etc. However, same deal - still not working.
What I have.
Vault Server, 2008 R2, Vault 10 called LHR-VAULT1.
Vault SQL server, 2008 R2, Called LHR-VAULTSQ1.
Backup Exec 2012 is installed on LHR-VAULT1 (as is an LTO5 Library), with the "Agent for Applications and Databases"... but I still can't backup my Vault files.
All I want to do is run a simple file backup of my closed partitions.
I have tried backing up using the selected file locations and also by using the Partition shares... neither work.
We are really getting desparate here as this is delaying a VVR / Vault replication project.
Any pointers / info would be great.
Comments 13 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If I just try and backup the shares, it fails instantly with a "nothing to backup" error... even though in the backup client / select files bit, I can browse through the shares and see the actual files in there.
If I use the file level backup and browse through drive / folders, the backup will backup any files in those folders which are NOT VAULT. But it will not touch Vault.
Permission tests work OK.
To me, this seems like it is not using the Vault agent we just spent £500 on.
Again, any help would be amazing. I personally wonder if it is going wrong as Backup Exec is on the server, with its own SQL and that is gobbling the license... but obviously, I am not interested in backing up Backup Exec with itself!
Hi James,
Before Proceeding Further we need to check whether we have proper credentials to Backup the Enterprise Vault
Please Follow the Below Given articles to check the Credentials please.
George Samuel
Right, I think I know the problem.
The agent for Vault is not being used as we have a licence for 1 item and they gets chewed up by the SQL for Backup Exec itself! Which I don't want to backup!
Is there anyway to configure this agent? To say not to look at SQL but to look at EV instead?
If not, I will be forced to remove SQL from this box and put it elsewhere, which I didn't want to do.
I am pretty confident this is the issue.
New problem of the day... I am trying to install BE with the SQL on another server, but the install is failing.
I believe SQL is all setup OK and I have had our DBAs check it out. In the BE install, it sees I am trying to install it to a remote server and then it just starts local services and tries to intsall it locally, again.
I believe there is a botched local SQL install.
Anyone know how to force BE to install to a remote SQL when it is trying to intsall it locally - or what SQL is required by Vault on the non-SQL server in our 2 server environment?
Hello James,
Take a look at these links: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74440 and http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH175581
and if this is still and issue to get the best response you should open this new problem as a new forum post.

State a national leader in helping people quit tobacco
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Washington State Tobacco Quit Line recently received its 100,000th call for help since opening for business seven years ago. The state Department of Health toll-free quit line is a crucial piece of Washington's tobacco prevention and control efforts, which have contributed to a 24 percent drop in adult smoking since 2000.
"I am very pleased with the resounding success of the Tobacco Quit Line," said Governor Chris Gregoire. "We are one of the few states that use tobacco settlement money to help people quit using tobacco so they can live longer, healthier lives."
Washington used tobacco settlement money to launch a comprehensive Tobacco Prevention and Control Program in 2000. Since that time, the state adult smoking rate has dropped from 20th to the fifth lowest in the nation.
The quit line (1-800-QUIT-NOW, and in Spanish, 1-877-2NO-FUME) provides callers with free information, counseling, a personalized quit plan, a quit kit and referrals to local resources. The quit line also offers tailored services to help pregnant women quit smoking.
"Calling the Tobacco Quit Line is free and can double a person's chances of quitting," said Health Secretary Mary Selecky. "I urge anyone who smokes or chews tobacco to call the quit line and join thousands of others in kicking the habit for good." Secretary Selecky also noted that the Great American Smokeout this Thursday is a perfect time to quit.
There are now many more former smokers in Washington than there are current smokers. The estimated 235,000 fewer smokers in the state represents an overall savings of $2.1 billion in future health care costs.
"The quit line makes it very easy for people who use tobacco to get the
help they need to quit," said Dr. Tim McAfee, Chief Medical Officer at Free
& Clear, which administers the quit line for Washington and 14 other

59 Customer Reviews
Not every scotch, in order to be great, needs to be some psychotic smoke-bomb from Islay that leaves one feeling like their drank liquefied fireplace. Glenlivet is a fine Scotch, bright and inviting, with some pronounced floral notes on the nose, and a gentle smoothness. Scotch snobbery results in missing out on the full spectrum of what scoth whisky has to offer. Give this one a try - affordable, welcoming, delicious.
Nicely priced. A bit of a beginner''s single malt to be honest. Light, vanilla but not very distinguished. It''s a good solid whisky, but didn''t give me a "special" feeling.
I am so disappointed with this product. It''s finish and flavors were not even beating usual blended whiskeys.
The best nose, palate, aftertaste and kick! What else should I say?
Smooth and flavoursome.
Mellow delivery with a heavenly kick!
First time trying this whiskey. Generally I''m a cognac drinker but tonight while at the bar this bottle of Glenlivet 12 just kept staring at me so I tried it. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This is a damn good drink.
Sometimes a lighter, smoother whiskey is desired and when it is, Glenlivet 12 fits the bill. I enjoy all ranges of smokiness in a Scotch, but not all the time. Glenlivet 12 never disappoints.

Miley Cyrus Twerking: Does a Handstand Up Against the Wall Count?
Miley Cyrus' Twerking has inspired a new meme, in which she Twerks in various inappropriate situations. But is it even actually Twerking that's depicted?
Miley Cyrus' Twerking has inspired a new meme, in which she Twerks in various inappropriate situations. But is it even actually Twerking that's depicted?
We all know that Miley Cyrus loves a good Twerk.
But did you know that Miley Twerked at The Royal Wedding? And on the set of Good Morning America? It's true, as these totally real, non-Internet created photos prove:
It is so on between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus. Twerk style.
Yes, Nicki thinks Miley is cute. And Cyrus looks up to Minaj.
The Golden Sisters are at it again.
But this time, instead of viewing the Kim Kardashian sex tape or reading 50 Shades of Grey in shock and horror, they are analyzing the dance world's latest trend:
So much for that intense Jay-Z and Miley Cyrus feud.
Based on the lyrics to the new track "somewhereinamerica" - which appear to mock Miley and state that "only in America" could someone Twerk her way to fame - it certainly sounded as if the rapper didn't have a lot of respect for the singer.
Jay-Z takes aim at a couple of contrasting targets on his new album.
First, he disses Scott Boras because the artist stole away one of the sports agent's clients, New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano.
In news that comes as a surprise and yet somehow not, Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" music video has been parodied! By dogs! Singing "We Can Bark!"
The brilliance of this canine spoof is in the level detail. Take a look:
The Ying Yang Twins are there for you, Miley Cyrus.
Due to the singer's affection for Twerking - as noted in this amazing Miley Cyrus Twerking video - Kaine and D-Roc have written a track in honor of Miley and this butt-shaking dance.

Karl Marx. 1 Person Does.
Karl Heinrich Marx was a popular German philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, and revolutionary socialist. His works have inspired the foundations of several communist regimes in the twentieth century. The theories of Marx based on societies, economics and politics were altogether called as Marxism. He was also responsible for the socio-political theory of Marxism. In addition to that, the growth of modern social science and the socialist political movement was greatly influenced by the Marxist ideas of Karl. His most famous works are The Communist Manifesto and Capital. Most of his works were co-written with his friend Friedrich Engels, who was the fellow German revolutionary socialist. Karl Marx Childhood & Early Life
Karl Heinrich Marx was born on May 5, 1818 at Brückergasse in Trier to a middle-class fairly wealthy family. His father, Hirschel Marx, was the owner of numerous Moselle vineyards, but as he was a Jew, he faced quite a many disadvantages both legally and financially. As a result, his father decided to convert from Judaism to Lutheranism before his son's birth. He also replaced Heinrich in place of Hirschel. Initially, Marx received education privately and started attending Trier High School in 1830. In 1835, he commenced studying at the University of Bonn. He was...
