It's time for us to put our head on the block and give you Planet Rugby's calls for Saturday's final regular-season round of Super Rugby.
It's time for us to put our head on the block and give you Planet Rugby's predictions for this Saturday's final regular-season week of Super Rugby.
Blues v Chiefs
Mid-table campers the Blues are much better off than last year's hideous campaign and are capable of an upset against the Chiefs at home. It would take an extravagant performance to truly hammer the 2012 champions but the visitors arrive off the back of a hiding at the Crusaders.
While they possess real attacking quality, the Chiefs have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they can grind out victories and that is what we expect on Saturday. Concurrently the Chiefs by 1-12 points margin at 17/2 is probably the safest bet against a Blues side that has lost by seven points six times this season.
Otherwise, given his outstanding form all season, the first try-scorer odds on soon-to-be Montpellier man Rene Ranger are difficult to ignore at 16/1 – likewise for Chiefs outside centre Tim Nanai-Williams at 14/1, who is this week back from shrugging off an injury.
Waratahs v Reds
No Israel Folau or Adam Ashley-Cooper in the backs for the 'Tahs undermines their backline significantly, making the Reds hot favourites for this one after their recent run of good form. They might be without James Horwill and Will Genia in terms of leadership, but Nick Frisby can play and with Quade Cooper out to prove a large point to new Australia boss Ewen McKenzie, he should go well. Reds by 13 or more appeals due to its high 5/1 price.
Don't write the 'Tahs off completely though. Peter Betham caused the Lions all sorts of problems two weeks ago and as a first try-scorer at 10/1 merits some attention. Reds finisher Luke Morahan is a class act so him to score two or more at 11/1 is tasty.
Western Force v Brumbies
Unsurprisingly given their vastly different league positions – remember when the Brumbies were struggling near the bottom of the table? – the Force are rank outsiders against the Brumbies on a +9.0 handicap, at 7/2 to win by 1-12 and 11/1 by more than 13 points. Stranger things have happened..but this? Perhaps after a misguided decision to rest top players to face the Lions before being beaten by a second-string Waratahs side at home, the Force may be bristling and out to answer some critics. Their XV is back to first-choice.
If the form book is accurate though, then the Brumbies by 21-25 points at 8/1 is certainly worth considering. The miracle of the Force to score first, lead at half-time and win at 9/1 if you are feeling adventurous is an option but we prefer Jesse Mogg to score anytime at 15/8.
Sharks v Southern Kings
With the Kings choosing to rest a whole host of players ahead of their promotion/relegation clash, this contest holds the largest handicap of the round. 23 points is what was settled upon and the Sharks will be desperate to better that, thus ending a poor term on a high.
The Sharks' season record is seven wins to eight defeats and surely they will level things up at eight each in Durban. Last week versus the Bulls, the back-row of Willem Alberts, Jean Deysel and Marcell Coetzee came out on top against their rivals and this week it's set to be a good evening for the latter duo and returning eight Keegan Daniel. We believe Daniel is an excellent shout to score a try at anytime in the contest and 23/10 isn't to be sniffed at.
Stormers v Bulls
The Bulls know that a win in any shape or form would see them finish top of the Super Rugby table. It is for that reason – and also that South African derbies have not been high on enterprising rugby – that the points margin appeals. We like the look of the Stormers by 1-10 points at 15-8, however, this also seems a very good time to use Paddy Power's Exact Winning Margin option. Back the Stormers to win by 3 and 5 at 20/1 and 25/1 respectively.
Bryan Habana plays his last game for the Stormers and if you like your fairytale endings then the Bok to score the final try is 10/1. Rain is forecast in Cape Town on Saturday though, adding further weight to moving towards the no try-scorer option you can get at 16s.

Where I stayed
Twin Lakes
Didja ever sit and watch a storm come over 14,000+ mountains heading straight for you? The wind is howling and we are starting to be pelted on our little warm and cozy rv. We are camped next to a lake, which now has whitecaps. We are getting the full experience of fall in Colorado. Aspens' leaves flutter like those signs with the little metal discs...know the ones?
I'm hoping for some snow. I want the full enchilada.
This morning, we hiked to an abondoned lake resort which is being restored. Colorado really knows how to give the tourists what we came for. I went in the original owner's house and climbed up steep stairs to the crow's nest. Well, Sadie was not about to let me go first, so she clawed her way to the top.
You can guess the next event...I judged that those same steps were possibly going to lead to a broker dog's leg on the way down, so I put her over my shoulder and held her with my left hand, while my right hand held on to anything I could to stabilize us. She was clawing each step as we descended safely. Whew!

New Corporate Plus Fare Delivers Significant Cost Savings To Corporate And Government Customers: Get Into Business With Virgin Blue02/08/2006
Virgin Blue has stepped up its tenacious campaign to attract more corporate and Government travellers with the overhaul of its business friendly Blue Plus fare to offer a number of new benefits including a book and hold capability.
The enhanced "Corporate Plus" fare comes as a result of feedback from Virgin Blue's existing corporate and Government clients who have been limited in their ability to use Virgin Blue due to the instant purchase requirement.
Corporate Plus fares come with a host of benefits for business travellers. These include:
Complimentary access to The Lounge, an oasis for the weary business traveller, now with wireless broadband facilities and complimentary food and beverages.
Priority check-in to express Corporate Plus Guests through the process.
Generous baggage allowance of up to 32 kg.
If flights are booked through the Virgin Blue Guest Contact Centre or a preferred Travel Management Company, the instant purchase requirement is removed, allowing the benefit of booking and holding for up to 48 hours.
The new fare is also available on Virgin Blue's international airlines, Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue.
Mathias Friess, Virgin Blue's newly appointed General Manager, Sales, said, "Corporate Plus is critical in our strategy to attract a fair share of the Government travel market and the main beneficiaries of the redesigned fare product will be corporate Australia and Government agencies."
He added, "Virgin Blue's instant ticket purchase system satisfies the needs of small business travellers. On top of these Guests, there is a significant market segment of business travellers from larger corporations and Government agencies that need a higher level of flexibility in their travel planning. By enhancing our fully flexible fare type, we will be able to extend the significant cost saving opportunities to the larger corporate and Government agency accounts."
Virgin Blue has a number of new business focused innovations that will be rolled out in the second half of 2006.

Old Testament Vespers Reading
Document Actions
Genesis 6:9-22
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and set the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks. For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive. Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them." Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

Numerous people have concerns, including constitutional ones, about the Michigan Supreme Court's proposed statewide e-filing rules and standards. And they voiced their frustrations at the high court's Sept. 25 public administrative hearing.
The prevailing uneasiness surrounds the "extra" fees charged for e-filing. These fees are in addition to regular filing fees and are already being collected in counties with courts that have e-filing pilot projects, like Wayne and Ottawa.
Several speakers challenged the Supreme Court's ability to impose these extra fees, saying they are basically a "tax." They told the court that it does not have the power to tax Michigan citizens. The state Constitution mandates that only the legislature has the authority to tax, they said.
"Basically, the court is raising money," Birmingham attorney Michael H.R. Buckles told MiLW after the hearing. "It can't do that." Buckles addressed the court on behalf of the Michigan Creditors Bar Association.
Buckles also said he has concerns about the "transparency" and "fairness" of the Supreme Court's proposal, as did others who spoke.
Meanwhile, Buckles indicated that he plans to help establish an "electronic filing committee" to look into statewide standards. Unlike the State Court Administrative Office's Technology Implementation Committee that developed the currently proposed rules and standards, Buckles said this committee will not only include judges and court personnel, but also legislators, agency representatives and members of the general public.
Buckles noted that funding is a big question as well. "They don't know where funding for this is even coming from," he said. "Basically, they've put the cart before the horse."
One speaker representing the State Bar of Michigan Committee on Justice Initiatives also told the court that e-filing fees need to be fair, especially for low-income litigants. Another speaker echoed this concern, saying the fees already being charged by the pilot programs deny some people access to the courts, and that the current proposal would not withstand a constitutional challenge.
In addition to fee concerns, other speakers were worried about e-filing deadlines. They encouraged the court to adopt an 11:59 p.m. deadline, like the federal filing system, instead of a 5 p.m. deadline. They explained that lawyers don't typically work just 9-5, and the later deadline will give them time to prepare filings after normal business hours.
Other proposals that garnered comment at the hearing include:
▪ ADM No. 2011-31 — The State Bar Appellate Practice Section spoke in support of proposed amendments to MCR 7.105, 7.111 and 7.205, which would allow the filing of a reply brief in support of an application for leave to appeal in the circuit court and Court of Appeals.
▪ ADM 2012-02 — Several lawyers spoke against a proposed amendment of MCR 2.302, which would clarify that discovery-only depositions may be taken only by stipulation or court order. A primary concern was that attorneys will increasingly try to use these depositions as actual testimony.
▪ ADM 2012-06 — Some disfavored a proposed amendment of MCR 9.221, which would require the Judicial Tenure Commission to notify a chief judge if a referee or magistrate is subject to corrective action that doesn't rise to the level of a formal complaint. Those who addressed the court said they believe the proposal may be unconstitutional, noting that other judicial employees are not subject to the same level of scrutiny. They also asserted they have privacy concerns.
▪ ADM 2012-30 — One person opposed expanding MCR 2.622, regarding receivership proceedings. Among other things, it was claimed that amending this rule would result in a "race to the courthouse mentality."
▪ ADM 2013-18 — A representative of the State Appellate Defender Office encouraged the court to adopt videoconferencing standards similar to what has been offered by the State Bar of Michigan, rather than what has been proposed by the Supreme Court. A primary concern was the defendant's right of confrontation.

Very HappySo I have natural 4c hair with at least 70% shrinkage. I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to straighten my hair but this straightener did the trick. I was going to buy a chi cause that is all I have ever heard about, but after reading the reviews on this solia I thought I'd give it a try. I was also tempted by the prize (which I find reasonable) and it's cute pink color (i could not resist). When I first tried the product, I'm not going to lie, I was upset. I did not get the amazing results that I thought I would, but turns out it was all my fault. With my hair type, there is no way that 140F would do the trick. So after pumping up the heat, I finally achieved greatness!! My hair did not feel burnt but smooth instead. It also easily rolled off the straightener's plates instead of sticking to it. Needless to say I LOVE this straightener. It does an amazing job every time and NY hair stays straightened for a couple of days also and then I can use the 140F setting to touch it up.
Maintenance is a little harder though. The color I love so much is easily stained so deg cleean it after each use.Jun 5, 2015StellaHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Strong As A Tank!!!I've had this flatiron for 9 years, 9!! I can't kill this thing. Having 'Shirley Temple' curly hair, straightening it was always a chore... that never worked. This flatiron, coupled with a good heat spray is magic. It's super easy to clean, the cord never tangles, and the adjustable heat is great. You'd think it was made with unicorns. No joke. Do yourself and your curly hair a favor and buy it! You won't be sorry.Sep 25, 2014ErinHAIR TYPEBlonde / Curly Hair

An Amazing Flat Iron For An Amazing Price!I've been through many flat irons and none of them delivered as well as the Solia. Seriously, I have NOTHING bad to say about this flat iron! I just received it today and have already tried it out and it did wonders for my hair! I have natural 3A/3B hair but last night I did a touch up relaxer because I'm about to get a sew-in Saturday morning for school. It arrived quickly and nicely packaged. One thing I loved most about the Solia was how I could control my temperature. My hair currently is very dry at the ends because of months without getting a trim (my fault) so I needed a flat iron that had a controllable heat setting so I wouldn't do any further damage to my hair. Before I was previously using a CERAMIC COATING flat iron from Remington and it was already set at a extremely high heat setting. It also was burning off my hair because of the uneven heated plates (some parts were completely burned). The Solia however, did wonders for my ends! I added some heat serum to my hair and ran the iron over it and my hair was completely soft, smooth, and silky with just running it through ONCE! It doesn't pull or burn my hair like some people have said in their reviews. It heats up very fast and its PINK which is a plus because I don't like boring flat irons lol. The two year warranty is great too! This is my first time using a ceramic tourmaline iron and because of the price and quality of this flat iron I am never going back to any other company! Definitely Recommend to any and everyone looking for a good iron to invest in!Aug 21, 2014Kayla / Houston, TxHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Its A KeeperI recently cut my hair shorter, like about 12 inches shorter. I had been using the 1-3/4" Sedu flatiron, which I LOVE, but needed one with smaller plates to accommodate my shorter do. I decided to get the Babyliss and a Solia to try. The Babyliss was the more expensive of the two. Verdict: its ok. it seemed to heat up quickly and straightened my hair just fine. The problem I found was that even when I turned the temp down the outside of the iron got so hot that I couldn't use it without burning my fingers. I tried the Solia next and after I could compare I decided that I would be sending the Babyliss back. Solia was great at a fraction of the cost. Heats up quickly, plates are smooth, straightens very well. Rating all of the flatirons I've used, I would put them in the following order (1st choice=1st listed): Sedu, Solia, Chi, Babyliss. Hope this helps someone make a decision :)Jun 13, 2014Tabitha / OKHAIR TYPELight Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Sedu Was BetterMy hair is curly and frizzy and I used to have a sedu which worked great until one day it just didn't heat up anymore after the warranty just ended. Since sedus have are more expensive now I decided to give this straightner a try.
This supposedly gets up to 450 degrees but I don't know if that's true or if this straightner just isn't good because when my Sedu was set to 450 it would straighten much faster as well as be hot within minutes. This straightner requires you to hold it clamped on your hair longer and several passes, but this may be because it's slow to heat up and hasn't reached 450 by the time I attempt to use it. Since the temperature is supposedly 450 I don't like holding it in one place for more than a couple seconds.
Pros: Price is reasonable if you use a coupon code which is why I didn't return it. Temperature control
Ability to get to 450 if true (which I'm skeptical about)
Cons: Doesn't heat up as fast/as much as I'd like

I have hair extensions that i straighten and it leaves them silky and they look like how i received them for the first time! my hair is thick, i have hispanic hair and i have alot of it, and it does the job in less than 20 min! thats including my hair extensions! =)Mar 5, 2014Jessica R. / Hurst TXHAIR TYPEAuburn / Thick or Coarse Hair

Skinny Texas Cheese Fries
Guiltless cheesy seasoned fries topped with bacon, jalapeños and scallions served with a cool homemade low-fat buttermilk ranch on the side.
Folks… this is sooooo good!! Pure comfort food!!
So when it's cheese fries you are craving, make them yourself and you'll save hundreds of calories and have better portion control preparing it yourself. A half order at Chili's is a whopping 1260 calories and 89 grams of fat, yikes!!
This recipe is a serving for two, if you want to make this into a meal, why not serve a large fresh garden salad on the side, with more ranch dressing! You'll have those carbs you crave and feel completely satisfied.
I left the skin on for added fiber, and I opted to use a full fat cheddar so that the cheese melts beautifully, I just used less of it and I think it was perfect. if you prefer using reduced fat cheese, Cabot and Sargento are two brands I like to use.

Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch thin slices; then cut each slice into 1/4 inch fries.
In a large bowl, combine cut potatoes and oil; toss well. Add seasoning (paprika to salt and pepper). Toss to coat.
Place potatoes in a single layer on a lightly greased large baking sheet. Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes or until tender crisp, turning once half way through (depending on thickness this may require more or less time).
Remove from oven, place fries into two small oven safe dishes (or one large dish for sharing), top with cheddar cheese, sliced jalapenos, scallions and bacon bits and return to oven for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Serve with low fat buttermilk ranch dressing if desired.

GDB 60: V-v-v-v-v-v-v Vinny and the Bolts
Jason Gregor
February 24 2009 01:01PM
Vinny, Vinny, Vinny and the Bolts. Or maybe it is Marty, Marty, Marty and the Bolts because after those two, the Bolts don't have much. The Bolts have scored the fourth fewest goals in the league, with 152, but 43% of their goals come from three players in Lecavalier, St. Louis and Ryan Malone.
Tampa gets basically no goals from their D-men. They have a league-low 11 goals from the backend, while the Oilers have 33 from the rearguards, the fifth most in the NHL.
The Bolts have also given up the fourth most goals, 191, so they don't score much, they don't defend very well and their goaltending is suspect. This should be guaranteed-win night for the Oilers, but this is a home game for the Oilers and nothing has come easy at home.
The Oil have 30 points in 28 home games, and are tied with LA for the fewest home wins in the Western Conference. What's even worse for the Oilers is that they have been outscored 75-81 on home ice.
Yes, their offence has been inconsistent, but the biggest reason the Oilers find themselves out of the playoffs today, is because they have no identity at Rexall Place. This isn't a tough rink for the opposition to come into right now. The Oilers don't amp up their physical play at home; in fact, they are much more aggressive on the road.
Tonight is the first of three straight home games, against teams that are beatable. Tampa, Columbus and Minnesota are not world beaters, and when you look at key stretches of a season, tonight starts an important three games.
Currently the Oilers are on pace for 87 points, which would leave them outside the playoffs. Columbus, Dallas and Minnesota are all on pace for 90 points. Granted those projections can change quickly with a two-game winning or losing streak, but today they are outside the playoffs. It looks like they will need 92 points to ensure they get in, so they will need to go 13-7-3, or 14-8-1 or 12-6-5 or some combination of that to make the dance.
Tonight is a must-win for the Oilers, and the line-up will be the same as Saturday.
- 27-10-83
- 12-89-26
- 18-13-46
- 85-51-33
Same D and Roloson will start again. The drive to the playoffs begins tonight, and the Oilers can't afford to hit the ditch against the lowly Lightning.

jdrevenge wrote: if they're looking for second line scoring why isnt Cogliano moved up to the second line Our second line is at best a compromise for a guy that's used to being surrounded by actual NHL'ers. Take Cogs and put him on the second line, maybe you might have something. But put Cole on the black hole third line and you've wasted a highly paid player. I feel bad for Cole because there's not really an optimum place for him right now. If Nilsson and Gagner were on fire maybe, but they're struggling this year. I think Sam's ankle is worse than we know and he's the set-up guy for the two finishers. Cole again! Yeah. We should trade him right now.
I say keep Cole. He's a Detroit Red Wing and we need more of those. The guy sets up the power play like Todd Marchant. His speed puts the other team at an auto disadvantage....

I wrote that post wrong. What I meant was Cole is one of the few guys giving 'er full bore every night. We need this guy bad. It's my thought that with the way things are going right now, he may not get the offers everybody thinks he will. This whole "trade him for picks and prospects" is crazy talk. He's a proven asset that we might be able to have for ourselves if things go right. Enough of the tomorrow, let's do something for today. I'm having a hard time seeing who we could get that would be so much better than Cole without giving up another high-value asset like Cogliano. We have alot of dead weight, but Cole isn't the major offender by any stretch.
In other words, I too say we try to keep Cole.
W.T. reminds everyone that it was Fred Stauffer when he was on the "other" station that said that Ryan Airbag Smyth was selfish in the dressing room. He went on to say that maybe he isn't the team guy everyone thinks he is.
W.T. suggests it is now time to put to bed who ran the team during the last Stanley Cup run. With both Peca ad Torres in town it's time to ask. W.T. remembers reading on a post a while back that it was Pronger and Peca who took over the dressing room during the run. W.T. heard same thing when it was actually happening. Let's have R.B. or J.G. get down to the bottom of this, if they haven't already.
W.T. hears roads in Edmonton not good due to snow. Drie safe. Roads in Atlanta clear.

@WT You cant argue that the oil have been a great team since smytty was traded. who else will score 20+ goals on the season? certainly not penner, or horcs, or pies. pretty much no one except hemmer and souray. selfish in the dressing room? i guess maybe that so called selfishness wasnt the problem! give your head a shake next time before you cut down one of the greatest oilers to ever wear the sweater.

I noticed that too. When we score, he looks confused. When the opposition scores, he just calmly takes a sip of water, like he expected that. I'm not asking for an emotional outburst, but just once I'd like to see him either smile or frown accordingly. Clap someone on the shoulder or mouth a swear-word. Something.

Yeah. I was really impressed with his inside views on Smyth, Peca, and Pronger. I'm punching myself for not seeing the Torres connection myself, and when you add in the fact that we get the Atlanta weather as well . . . I'm just really glad that W.T. takes the time to post here.
I was thinking while watching the game last night about something: Would all of the ire directed at Mac T this year be directed at Lowe if Souray wasn't having such a great year? I imagine the FLNF movement would be in overdrive right now if Shelley was having a poor or even average year. Just a thought. Comments?

Dave Mustaine was recently interviewed by FOX News Magazine. "Megadeth music has a little bit of something in it for everybody," says Mustaine when asked about Megadeth's popularity down South. "Because of the diversity of the music, it matches the diversity of the fanbase." Watch Dave talk about Dystopia and more at magazine.foxnews.com.
As Berklee's Megadeth Ensemble practiced on Monday (March 21), the sound from its rehearsal space in a back room on the second floor of 1140 Boylston St. pulsated... when you're rocking this hard, it's difficult to keep quiet. Even more so than the instruments, it was the students who were amped. After all, at any moment the real Megadeth, which was in town to play the House of Blues that night, was going to walk into the room. Read more at berklee.edu

England coach Stuart Lancaster is not falling into the trap of underestimating France ahead of Saturday's clash at Twickenham.
England coach Stuart Lancaster is not falling into the trap of underestimating France ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
France will travel across the Channel on the back of successive defeats to Italy and Wales that have triggered heavy criticism of coach Philippe Saint-André.
However, Lancaster refused to write off the French and insisted they remain formidable opposition.
"If you look at their performances in the autumn, the three wins over Samoa, Argentina and Australia show they are not a bad side," said the England coach on Monday.
"They beat Australia 33-6 and Australia then beat us. While we'll take something out of their first two Six Nations games, we'll also take something out of those autumn internationals and make sure we're ready for them."
England fly-half Toby Flood and flanker James Haskell missed training on Monday because of a tight calf and 'flu respectively.
Lancaster is hopeful that loose forward Ben Morgan will recover from his ankle injury in time to play some part in the Six Nations.
Morgan was injured in England's victory over Scotland in the opening round of fixtures and has been ruled out for this weekend's games, but Lancaster believes the Gloucester number eight could return against Italy on March 10.
The 23-year-old has been joined on the sidelines by Gloucester fly-half Freddie Burns, who is struggling with a knee injury, and Lancaster revealed he would also miss the France match.
"Morgan and Burns are making slow progress," Lancaster added.
"Freddie is further down the line, but they won't play this weekend so it will be another week or so.
"Ben will be fine. It's an ankle injury similar to the one Manu Tuilagi had. Manu was out for four or five weeks and Ben will be about the same.
"He wants to get himself right so he can push for selection against Italy."
Meanwhile, centre Jonathan Joseph has been ruled out for two weeks with a toe injury, but full-back Ben Foden has made good progress in his battle with ankle damage and will play for Northampton against Bath on Saturday.
