Leicester will be looking to seal their thirteenth straight semi-final victory in all competitions when they take on Harlequins on Saturday.
Leicester will be looking to seal their thirteenth straight semi-final win in all competitions when they host holders Quins at Welford Road on Saturday.
A remarkable six Tigers made the recent Lions squad while there were none whatsoever from Quins, which might lead to some visiting players wanting to prove a point to the selectors. Also, Danny Care and Tiger Toby Flood may want to show Stuart Lancaster they don't need rest.
Leicester are boosted by the return of Mathew Tait and Dan Cole to their starting XV. The England internationals were both included among the replacements for last week's bonus-point win over London Irish but reclaim their starting spots.
Flood will lead out the team for the club's ninth successive appearance in the Premiership semi-finals in front of an expected 20,000-plus crowd for the Tigers' last home fixture of the season.
"The advantage of a home crowd is imperative and they have to be right behind us," the fly-half told the Leicester Mercury.
"We don't want the crowd to sit and wait for something to happen before responding. We want them to make it as loud as possible.
"If they get behind us and give us that energy, it certainly has an impact on the pitch.
"Teams have always been wary of coming to Welford Road and, if we can start well, and the crowd can get right behind us, it will give us a huge impetus."
In a blow to Quins, flanker Chris Robshaw has failed a late fitness test as he continues to recover from an injury sustained against Worcester. His place remains with Luke Wallace with Maurie Fa'asavalu, who is one of two changes to the starting line-up, on the blindside.
The second change sees Joe Gray starting at hooker where he is joined by Joe Marler and James Johnston. Conor O'Shea has made no changes to the backline as Tom Casson and George Lowe continue their partnership, going up against Anthony Allen and Manu Tuilagi.
Harlequins will hope the spine of their team is solid this week, with Nick Easter, Care, Nick Evans and Mike Brown critical to whether they progress past this strong Tigers line-up.
There are eight changes from the Leicester XV that lost to Quins – who have just two new faces – in that 2011/12 final, but with the Tigers at home we feel they will make it to HQ.
Ones to watch:
For Leicester: We go for the newly-crowned Aviva Premiership player of the year, Tom Youngs. It has been quite a week for the hooker as before Thursday's award ceremony, a British and Irish Lions call-up had come his way. Upon receiving the award last night he was quick to tribute his team-mates at the Tigers and Richard Cockerill's men will be hoping that collective spirit comes to fore on the field again in Saturday's semi-final.
For Harlequins: It's hard not to feel sympathy for Danny Care right now. Left out by the Lions and then he received a non-selection by Stuart Lancaster. The official word is that he is being rested but we imagine he would rather be playing than waiting on a Lions phone call.
Head-to-head: Two of England's entertaining full-backs are on show at Welford Road as Mathew Tait and Mike Brown face off. Tait has started to recapture the form that saw him set the 2007 World Cup alight of late and he'll want to continue that process injury free. Meanwhile, Quins fifteen Brown is a different kind of full-back and will pop up in the first line of attack. Excitement aplenty will come from both in similar amounts, however, on Saturday.
Form: Leicester have won their last twelve semi-final games in all competitions since Wasps beat them, 22-17, at the Millennium Stadium in the last four of the Anglo-Welsh Cup in March 2006. This is the Tigers fourth successive home Premiership semi-final, whilst they have not been defeated at Welford Road in a semi-final fixture since Gloucester were the visitors in the now defunct Cheltenham and Gloucester Cup in March 1998. Tigers are bidding to reach a ninth successive Premiership final whilst their last four games in all tournaments have all been won by the home side on the day. Harlequins are the defending Aviva Premiership Rugby champions and finished off the regular season with three successive wins against Bath, Worcester and Northampton. This is Quins third appearance in the Premiership semi-finals, losing out at home to London Irish in 2009 and beating Northampton 25-23 at the Twickenham Stoop at this stage last year. Quins have won their last three fixtures against the Tigers including last season's final at Twickenham, in addition Quins have triumphed on their last two visits to Welford Road, denying the Tigers even a losing bonus point on each occasion.
Prediction: Despite Harlequins having won their last three games in the Aviva Premiership, we just feel that Leicester will have the edge here and get into another final. Tigers by 8!
The teams:
Leicester: 15 Mathew Tait, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Vereniki Goneva, 10 Toby Flood (c), 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Jordan Crane, 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Tom Croft, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Graham Kitchener, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Logovi'i Mulipola.

You get what you pay for
"I had recently been into a few stores to try on some different Asics shoes and I fell in love with the soft cushion and amazing support. Instead of purchasing them on the spot, I decided to go home and use my "rewards certificates" to get a better price and I ended up purchasing a pair online. This was not a style that I had tried on in-store and I really wish I had. I received these in the mail today and was super disappointed in the cushion and support, it literally feels like there is none. They feel very "non-supportive and hard" is the best way I can describe it. The shoe itself is beautiful as far as looks go, this just didn't hold up to the standards that I'm used to with this brand."

Upgrading from OpenSolaris to Specific Builds of Solaris 11 Express Pkg Gotchas
By Michael Tin on Dec 15, 2010
There has been a major change in the packaging repositories between OpenSolaris and Solaris 11 Express. OpenSolaris packages were published with the publisher name of opensolaris.org and a base URL of http://pkg.opensolaris.org/ . Solaris 11 Express changes the publisher name to solaris and the base URL to http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris . You will need to postfix either dev/ or release/ to the end of the base URL to get to the appropriate repository.
In the course of testing, I wanted to upgrade to a specific build of Solaris. I had followed the instructions from a blog entry from The Observatory on how to upgrade to a specific build. Since the publisher changed between the bits that I was currently running (which referenced the publisher of opensolaris.org) to the repo that held the build I wanted (which referenced the publisher of solaris), I had to do some pkg magic to change the publishers.
One thing to keep in mind is that before I did anything, I created a new boot environment to install to:
beadm create snv_151a beadm mount snv_151a /mnt-solaris11express
The two commands I did to switch publishers was:
pkg set-publisher -P -O http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release solaris
pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
The command I was using to try and upgrade was:
pkg -R /mnt-solaris11express install firstname.lastname@example.com,5.11-0.151.0.1:20101105T054056Z
One caveat that I found to this process is that if you are going to do a pkg -R <newpath> install of entire, you need to make sure that the two pkg set-publisher commands to change the publisher from opensolaris.org to solaris are \*also\* prefixed with -R <newpath>. I was basically unable to install entire@somebuild to my -R <newroot> even if I gave it the full FMRI to the package. The weird thing was that pkg list -avf entire showed the entire package that I wanted, and the same FMRI. I could not figure it out so I went asking for help from the pkg folks down the hall from me. I was lucky enough to have Brock Pytlik come help me out. He quickly figured out the problem which was due to an incorrect understanding of how I thought the pkg process worked with the -R <path> flag.
As I understand it, pkg -R <path> anything basically chroots to <path> before executing. Disclaimer: I am not partial to how the -R flag is actually implemented, but chroot seems to describe it in terms that I can understand. One thing I did not realize is that the chroot occurs and THEN the publisher information is read in from <path>. I had created a new boot environment before changing my publishers and that led my snapshot boot environment to not have the updated publishers. I had assumed that the pkg install command would have used the current configured information and simply applied to install to -R <path> happily. I did not realize that it actually read in the configuration from <path> and THEN tried to install.
The correct sequence of commands would have been:
beadm create snv_151a
beadm mount snv_151a /mnt-solaris11express
pkg -R /mnt-solaris11express set-publisher -P -O http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release solaris
pkg -R /mnt-solaris11express set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
pkg -R /mnt-solaris11express install firstname.lastname@example.com,5.11-0.151.0.1:20101105T054056Z
Of course, this all could have been avoided if I changed the publishers and THEN ran the beadm create to create my new boot environment but alas, this is not what I did. If I had done it that way, the beadm create would have taken a snapshot that had the new publisher information configured and none of this would have happened. Sometimes command ordering matters, this is one of those times.
I hope this blog post helps out someone who was in the same predicament as me but did not have the convenience of having a Solaris engineer down the hall. The only alternatives I could see was a pkg image-update to the latest (which would have worked BTW since that does not use the -R <path> flag) and a fresh install to a build that had the publishers correct (which is not what I wanted to do).

Wallabies and Waratahs back Adam Ashley-Cooper has re-signed to stay in Australia until after the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Wallabies and Waratahs back Adam Ashley-Cooper has re-signed to stay in Australia until after the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
He becomes the third player to commit to Australian Rugby and the Waratahs for the week, following on from prop Sekope Kepu and halfback Nick Phipps, with the latter having confirmed a switch from the Melbourne Rebels to the Waratahs for next season.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans says the trio of re-signings reflects a vote of confidence from the players concerned in the future of Australian Rugby, and the opportunities that staying at home provides.
"It's a good indicator. The players are the most important resource the game has, and they do have other alternatives around contract time," said Deans.
"By committing their futures to Australia, they are showing confidence in the programmes. This is definitely the case with Adam."
Ashley-Cooper, who is now with the Waratahs after having appeared 78 times for the Brumbies between 2005 and 2011, has resisted overtures to move off-shore.
He cited unfinished business at Test level and in Super Rugby as primary reasons behind the decision to stay.
"I'm not done yet," said Ashley-Cooper.
"I'd like another crack at the Rugby World Cup if I can. I wouldn't mind winning Super Rugby either!
"The competition for places, after all of the injuries we had last year, has left the Wallabies in a pretty good space. I think everyone is excited about what is coming up this year with the British & Irish Lions tour, but there's a World Cup not that far away now, and goals like the Rugby Championship and especially the Bledisloe Cup in between.
"I'd hate to finish my time with the Wallabies having not had the experience of winning the Bledisloe."
29 next week; Ashley-Cooper has appeared against the All Blacks on 17 occasions, scoring six tries from those games. Only David Campese (eight) and Matthew Burke (seven) have scored more tries in Tests against New Zealand, while only 11 Australians have more than the 23 tries that Ashley-Cooper has scored in Tests for the Wallabies.
A veteran of two previous Rugby World Cup tournaments amongst his 77 Tests to date; Ashley-Cooper made his Super Rugby and Test debuts within a few months of each other in 2005.
He was the only player from any country to feature in every minute of a full seven-Test programme at the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, scoring the first hat-trick of his representative career inside of an eight-minute period during Australia's win over the United States at Wellington.
Such is his versatility; he ranks highly on the Australian Test appearance charts for a number of positions, having appeared on 24 occasions at full-back (fourth), 35 in the centres (seventh), and 18 on the wing.
Just six of the Ashley-Cooper appearances have come from the bench, while the consistency of his performance has been such that he has missed just six Tests since the start of 2008.
Only 14 players have represented Australia on more occasions than has Ashley-Cooper, who became the 35th Wallaby to surpass 50 Tests when he raised that milestone against Italy at Florence on the 2010 end-of-year tour.

There was a party at the Battersea Power Station last night in London. Since The Avengers sequel is now shooting there, two members of the world's defenders showed up to celebrate. Here are Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans, Hawkeye and Captain America, at the event…because they're the two single dudes in the group, right? Sort of. Renner had a baby with Sonni Pacheco but we're supposed to believe they're not together. OK.
But you know who the real superhero was?
Grace Jones.
Come on. Those two are powerless muggles next to the fierce badass of individuality standing between them.
PS. A completely bare-faced Chris Evans is not my favourite.

Sauske is just so cool and awesome right now. Hinata is cute. I like her shy personality.
Shikamaru. The lazy genius, just an awesome character. Went from a character that was in my top favorites to my all time favorite with the most recent ark he was in.
Deidara. I loved his personality and just thought he was a well designed character. I'm sad to see him go, but at least he went out with a bang!
Rock Lee. Who doesn't like the victorious underdog? That and the chakra gates unlocked in the exams and then the drunken fighting were both classic badass moments in the series, IMO.
Hinata. Everthing about her is just cute, plus she has the potential to be awesome and that could be seen during her fight with Neji.
Sai. Can't explain it, just think he if freaking awesome.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The San Rafael Swell really is too swell to trash. But, trashing is exactly what has been going on all through the winter months. The amount of garbage thrown alongside the roads is a shame and disgrace.
The local OHV club, the Southeastern Utah OHV club chairman of the board is Richard Beardall. Beardall has been a one-man team out and about on the Swell. He has cleaned in a number of areas with the volunteers he has been able to enlist to help him. He has put in 400 hours of his personal time cleaning on the Swell.
The poker ride trail has been one of interest to the club in readying it for the annual spring ride. Efforts have also been made to clean along the Eva Conover Road and Devil's racetrack.
"Most of the garbage seems to have been thrown from full sized vehicles. When you get off the main routes and onto the OHV only trails, there is a lot less trash. I have been disgusted with the amount of toilet paper and human waste out there on the Swell. We might as well all join SUWA because we are playing right into their hands with the way the Swell is being abused. There are beer cans, pop cans, TVs, microwaves and every kind of garbage that you can think of has been thrown out there. It is just appalling the way people have been treating the Swell. It's not just our local residents but visitors to the area too," said Beardall.
Beardall is also a member of the Emery County Public Lands Council and he speaks with their support on the issue of garbage and the Swell. They discussed the issue in their March public lands meeting and the consensus of the group was to get the message out that if you pack it in, then pack it out. Be courteous campers and visitors to the Swell. We only get one chance with the Swell, if abuse occurs then the ability to utilize the Swell for recreational purposes will be lost through the carelessness of the visitors to the area.
Ray Petersen, Emery County Public Lands Director said, "Easter will be a high impact weekend for the Swell. The number of visitors to the Swell has steadily increased over the years. The usage began even earlier this year, due to nice weather earlier in the season. We need to make people aware that it is to our benefit that all visitors to the Swell recreate responsibly. Failure to do so may mean we lose the resource."
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon stated, "Citations can be issued to anyone seen littering or traveling off trail. If our office issues the citation it is a $200 plus fine. If the BLM issues the citation you will have to appear in federal court. Recently, I saw a young man and his mother out on the Swell and they were cleaning along the road. It's going to take everyone to get this cleaned up and get this problem solved. It just looks horrible from all the towns out into the desert. People throw their trash out the windows because they are too lazy to bring it back.
"People know this type of behavior is against the law. We need to take care of our own trash. If we don't take care of it we will have more restrictions placed upon us.
"Everyone is encouraged to camp in designated areas and to avoid off trail travel. There will be extra patrols on the desert for the Easter weekend. We are available to educate the people who visit the Swell. We will assist in any way we can to help stop the problems that are occurring on the Swell," said Sheriff Guymon, "A long standing problem on the Swell has been the lack of bathroom facilities. The county was promised six bathrooms by the BLM approximately four-five years ago, on this end of the Swell and we haven't got any of them. They put bathrooms down by Temple Mountain, but none here and that continues to be a big problem. Human waste is a health hazard and the Swell is being contaminated with it."
Beardall said, "There is trash all over this whole county. Along the roads, the campgrounds, everywhere. We are making an effort to keep our public lands clean. It's just unbelievable. We want to put this trashing to a halt. We will be recording license plate numbers and people littering will be reported to the authorities.
"Over Easter there will be six riding clubs out there on the Swell. They will inform and educate," said Beardall.
The Bureau of Land Management and the Division of Wildlife Resources will also work the Swell over the Easter holiday to aid in enforcement.

Berkley Havoc Bobby Lane's Grass Pig Swimbait
Pro designed to help you catch more bass, Berkley is continuing to release their new line-up of Havoc baits, which have already accounted for some solid finishes at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic on the Louisiana Delta.
The Berkley Havoc Grass Pig was designed by BASS Elite Series veteran pro, Bobby Lane. Swim the Grass Pig by clumps of weeds or on top of weed lines to entice violent strikes from bass lying in shallow areas, or in deeper water, slow your retrieve down to find suspended or bottom-dwelling monsters. Its specially designed body and tail, as well as, its precise soft plastic formulation allow you to fish it as slow as you want and still produce that irresistible wiggle. A versatile swimbait, you can rig the Berkley Havoc Grass Pig in a variety of ways - on a weighted swimbait hook, Florida-rigged, on an offset wide gap hook, or on a jighead.

Customer Reviews
Comments: That bait IS A BEAST. definitely should be in your tackle box. bass love then
From: Drake: Brandon, MS
Comments: Used one of these as a chatterbait trailer the other evening. Use the 3.5 inch ones!
From: Hunter: Morgantown, WV 7/27/15
Comments: I discovered this bait last summer...fish it like a Senko but with some thump. Bama Bug color performs best for me. Inexpensive, very soft rubber, reasonably durable. I use 5/0 Mister Twister bayonet style hook. Even my novice friends can catch bass with this bait.
From: Bohemian Basser: Lincoln, NE 7/23/15
Comments: i use these with VMC 3/32 4/0 weighted hooks. awesome bait, skip it under docks and over hanging trees let it fall, bazinga!
From: Matt: Wareham, MA 6/18/15
Comments: Recently used the Grass Pig Jr. on a trip to Florida as a trailer for a chatterbait. While it caught fish and is priced right, the tail got bit off every bait on the first or second fish.
From: Tim: Buffalo, NY 2/15/15
Comments: I've used it for a year now as a swim jig trailer. Other swim baits, namely the Trigger-X Slop Hopper WAY out perform it. Don't get me wrong, it still catches fish, and I do use it cause it comes in colors Trigger-X doesn't have. Overall, wish the tail had a little more thump to it. If you like super finessy swimbaits, this is for you. Descent durability. If you want a lot of thump to the tail... maybe not so much. The price makes it hard to beat, but remember you get what you pay for.
From: Tom: Ham Lake, MN 12/12/14
Comments: This is one of the Best of the Berkley baits in a long time! Where on a 5/0 screw lock hook or as a trailing on my Chatter type baits...this is the bait I choose. Bass don't hit them, they attack them! Bubble gum is a must for your tackle box!
From: Parks: Memphis, MO
Comments: The 3.5 pearl white rigged on a 2/0 Mustad power lock with a 1/16 oz weight is unfair to the fish.
From: Scott: Water Valley, MS
Comments: i love these things, i put them in a 1/8oz swimbait hook and slam fish left and right
From: Nick: TX
Comments: great bait. Smaller version is money on the back of a swim jig with any retrieve speed. I also use the larger version with a weighted 4/0 swimbait hook. The trick with a swimbait hook is to use a screw lock hook. Because this bait is not the most durable thing a screw lock is totally necessary. It holds the bait perfectly in place for a large number of fish. The bait doesn't have a crazy wobble that you might expect it to have. It has a nice tight wiggle that absolutely drives the bass crazy. Overall awesome swimbait. Buy yourself several packs because they are a great CHEAP swimbait.
From: Austin: Monroe, MI
Comments: Great bait when the bass are spawning in grass. Fish it with as little weight as possible and very slowly. I used it on 20LB braid. As soon as it swims over the bed they hammer it. Great bait.
From: Parker: Vandalia, Missouri
Comments: My go to swimbaits. Using a owner beast swimbait hook, I nail bass in shallow open water and around grass. It swims well and lasts long.
From: Justin: Mason, OH
Comments: amazing bait has great action the fish just can't resist it. The swamp gas color is just sweet looks just like a bait fish I do recommend this bait !!
From: Preston: Austin Texas
Comments: Been using these all week on a weighted swimbait hook on shalllow grassy flats. Caught 30+ Bass 3 days in a row on just grass pigs, retreive at medium speed. Also rigging weightless texas rigged is a very productive technique. Fish it like a senko and they go after it, as the tail flutters as it sinks.
From: Myke: Fremont,Nebraska
Comments: I use this lure all the time and it never disappoints. In one day i caught 9 bass all on the same lure, very durable and flat out catches fish.
From: Ben: Austin, Texas
Comments: I have recently purchased a few bags of the 3.5" grass pig and have noticed some of the baits have bent tails. I found a way to fix the problem by dipping the tail portion in boiling water for about 7 seconds, take it out and correct it, continue doing it until it is shaped right. A grass pig with a bent tail will not wagger, and the body wobble is gone. Berkley needs to find a way to package it correctly.
From: David: Murrieta, CA
Comments: amazing action put it on a tour grade swim jig and hold on
From: Jace: Newnan, GA
Comments: This bait has a greatt action at slow speeds and the way the body moves along with the tail really makes the bass go crazy. It also works great as a swim jig trailer and makes the whole jig move giving a very injured baitfish reaction. TThis bait is vary durable and is a great buy.
From: Ryan: MN
Comments: bought these at a local tackle store on the way to the lake and on an impulse buy got a pack of these. Fished them on a weighted hook at first, and had limited results. Then I put it on a 1/2 oz swim jig, cut an inch off the pig, and it was like magic. The action is perfect, bc it swims at any speed, even when you kill it. the whole jig rolls and sways slightly, and the paddle tail goes nuts back there and using it right in the thcikest grass or down grass lines is a killer way to get big fish. And at $3 for 6, you can afford to fish them, unlike most swimbaits. They're durable too, getting multiple fish out of each one. And when they start to slip, cut half an inch off and re rig.
From: AJ: Flemington, NJ
Comments: These are great as swim jig trailers
From: Chris: OH
Comments: This is a very good bait.bought it in pearl silver flake and put on a jig for a trailer and caught a 3 pond bass. Good bait and I will check out more of their products
From: Connor: Arkansas
Comments: Don't let the low price scare you, this swimbait does work, and works very well. The action is very good, body and tail wobbles and all that, not lacking at all. You can try these for spotted bay bass and Calico bass as well. Good luck.
From: David: Murrieta, CA
Comments: Berkley Havoc Lane's 5" Grass Pig Swimbait VERY good bait great action pretty durable and only 3 bucks! fish it like a swimbait or cut the head off and boom swimjig trailer!
From: Louis: Baton Rouge
Comments: It's just like a plastic stick and the tail has very little action. I prefer the reaction innovations skinny dipper. I guess that's what you get for $3 though.
Comments: Excellent swimbaits! Rigged with a weighted 5/0 EWG and you are good to go. I have caught alot of spots and largemouth on these. I like them because they have a good wobbling action, they are cheap, and pretty durable
From: Colby: Pace, FL
Comments: i love these because you can fish them unweighted and reel them as slow as you possibly can stand it and the tail still swims great. i work it just like the big swimbaits through treetops in clear water and they are also great on swim jigs.
From: Colton: TX
Comments: These are great baits for swimming through weeds and other cover. I rig them with a 5/0 EWG and a pegged 1/16 bullet weight. Caught a few yesterday on em, biggest was a 3-09. California and Pearl white were the productive colors.
From: Evan: Bossier City, LA
Comments: used these last week on toledo bend. worked great. i was experiencing a lull when i pulled one of these out and started chunking it as far as i could into some newly flooded areas(lake has been historically low). imagine not cutting the grass for a year or two in your yard then flooding it with about 2" of water. that is what i started casting into because i couldn't get bit on the edges anymore. by surprise i caught one, then another, then another, and so on. sold me on this style of lure. i can't wait to try it again.
From: Flattown Basser
Comments: Bought a pack of these (water melon candy) and used a 4" Ewg monster hook, pegged with a 3/16 oz tungsten weight, pitched this bait on the outer weed edges and caught so many 2's and 3's on it, i had to buy another pack, has a nice slit down the belly making hookups easy, I was also dipping the end of the bait in chartreuse spike-it dye, to give it more of a Bluegill look.
From: Brian: Aurora/Naperville, IL
Comments: I like to fish this bait weightless and peg a tungsten weight on it. My first bass of the season which was 3lbs 2oz was caught on a weightless grass pig. I'm loving that green pumpkin for this bait.
Comments: 2nd feedback is that this bait still really works well. My only comment would be for more colors is minnow flavors.
From: Barry: Sugar Grove, IL
Comments: Aweome Awesome swimbait for florida, best color is swamp gas
From: Central Florida
Comments: Great Swimbait action and Price. I used it with a Trokar 5/0 weight hook.
From: Barry: IL
Comments: Picked up a couple bags of these to try out. I love the texture. They are kind of rubbery and seem to be pretty durable. I caught a bunch of fish on them and have just ordered 4 more bags :) I was fishing it on a 5/0 Gamakatsu Superline hook, slightly bent out. I will be using the 6/0 springlock hook when I get them.
From: Patrick: Palm Beach

The crocheted bathing suits, super ragged cut-offs, exposed brassieres, and high-waist floral shorts look like they've been ripped straight from The Cobrasnake's party photos, with some vertiginous, studded heels to add to the more glam nighttime mix of cut-out dresses and spacy metallic motorcycle jackets.

Pool D comprises of the most heavy hitting teams. Three Austin-area powerhouses duke it out to survive round one. Lake Travis has larger goals in mind (a 6th straight State title and first in 5A), but is expected to win it all in College Station's July 7 on 7 Championship. Stony Point is excited to get their new regime of athletes up to speed, while Pflugerville is a darkhorse favorite to win 16-5A. Throw in a scrappy Temple team, and Pool D will be among the morning's best. They'll kick things off at 9 a.m. the Cedar Ridge practice turf field. Here's our preview of the action:
Stony Point Tigers (District 16-5A, Head Coach: Craig Chessher)
If you consider 2011 a step back for Stony Point, expect the Tigers to take two steps forward in 2012. Their nucleus is still incredibly young, but they have solid senior leadership to back them up. Perhaps 5A's best safety tandem will be on display with Wes Moore and Moose Ahrens. LB Marcos Curry has gotten stronger/faster and QB Aidan Barrera has matured. Coupled with the up-and-coming Jeremy Carr/Jordan Smith and the return of Xavier Mays, the Tigers enter 2012 as bounce-back candidates.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch List (Tigers):
QB Aidan Barrera
WR Jeremey Carr
DB Moose Ahrens
DB Wes Moore
LB Marcos Curry
WR Justin Gamble
TE Jordan Smith
DB Chris Njoku
LB Kyle Plattor
DB DeShawn Littlejohn
ATH Damian Lindley
RB Joe Morrero
RB Xavier Mays
Lake Travis Cavaliers (District 15-5A, Head Coach: Hank Carter)
'Maintain the Reign'. 'The Chase for Seis'. Whatever you call it, the Cavaliers are focused on winning. Lake Travis has won it all before in College Station in a 7 on 7 capacity - but they keep thing in perspective. Skill season a blast, but winning isn't required. This group stays in top shape all year long, so expect their conditioning to outstretch others later in the day. With each state ring, the scrutiny gets tougher for our young Cavs. QB Baker Mayfield was was of the State's top passers 2011, and he expects to increase those totals in '12. A new receiver or two always emerges for LT during these sessions.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch (Cavaliers):
RB Shuan Nixon
QB Bake Mayfield
LB Luke Hutton
DB Brock Kenyon
WR Zach Austin
DB Hunter Streuling
DB Jacob Pate
WR Grant Foster
RB Romey Kelso
QB Nic Medina
LB Nico Escalante
QB Dominic DeLira
Pflugerville Panthers (District 16-5A, Head Coach: George Herrmann)
We got our first glimpse of QB Blain Kruemcke and RB Adrian Dilworth at this time last year. With a full year of Varsity stripes, these gentlemen return as leaders this Summer. Along with DB Jay Byrd, they repreent the core of a Panther team with legit district title dreams.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch (Tigers):
RB Adrian Dilworth
QB Blain Kruemcke
DB Jay Byrd
QB Jacob Sowell
RB Jonathan Wallace
LB Demetrius Wilson
WR Caleb Horton
TE Noah Menke
DB Nick Bowens
Temple Wildcats (District 8-5A, Head Coach: Mike Spradlin)
While SMU-commit Freddie Johnson won't be able to help his team in 7 on 7, he'll likely be on hand to watch his teammates battle Austin's best 5A schools. They'll return a junior QB that looked impressive during stretches on 2011. There's a slew of skill players that could make things difficult on our Austin-area DBs.
Fanstand Skill Player Watch (Wildcats):
QB Zachary Allen
WR Stephonn Love
DB A'Keel Wilson
TE Erick Arizmendi
RB Rodney Alexander
RB Donvante McClellan
WR Jeremy Hemphill
QB Kevin Anderson
WR L'Darius Thomas
Pool D Projections: On pride and history, Lake Travis is an obvious favorite. But the way the team is focused on their upcoming 5A venture, don't be surprised if the Cavs scale it back a notch this Summer. We've long been fans of the upcoming senior skill groups from both Stony and P'ville. Panthers get the edge on experience, while the Tigers get the nod for overall upside. Temple won't slouch with Zachary Allen, but we'll roll with area-turf advantage. We'll bring you scores, footage and interviews from Pool D on May 26th.

GDB6: Put it behind you
October 23 2008 04:24PM
Sometimes things just don't go right. Sometimes it just isn't your day. Sometimes even though you have well trained troops, an excellent strategy and remorseless intelligence gatherers who are incapable of showing compassion you just can't determine the exact location of the guerilla hideout.
It's kind of like the time Britney Spears showed up at the VMAs out of shape, out of practice, irrationally confident and totally blew it (pun intended.) It's kind of like the Oilers showing up in Chicago last night with their little heads full of "best start since 1986" dreams dancing in their heads. They showed up looking gross too and were completely out of it – and mailed in one of the worst Oilers games we have seen in awhile.
So what do you do?
Put it behind you.
Take a page out of Britney's book. Dump your crazy Lebanese manager and fly in your Dad who is immediately court ordered to take away all your PCP and forces you at gunpoint into the gym, the recording studio, the gym, the recording studio and finally the gym with little concern for your sanity or long term health.
The bottom line here is immediate success Nation.
And frankly that's what we need to see tonight. A quick comeback engineered with little regard for long term stability.
Is Souray hurt? Don't care – throw him over the boards.
Oh you're concerned about the goaltending situation and want to give everyone a shot? Nope. Garon in – everyone else out.
But what about the children? Hang the children. It's time for a bounce back win.
Keys to success
- Score more than 0 goals. This may seem counter intuitive to some. "But Wanye, what if the game plan is to force a scoreless tie and win in a shoot out?" Let's try abandoning that game plan for an instant and just say start with potting a goal.
- Play some defense. This may also fly in the face of anyone who shelled out $14 to watch the crap-a-thon last night but believe us when we say "defense wins games." Maybe all those people who sit in front of Charlie Huddy on the Oilers bench can assist with this. After all, they have gone to all the trouble of putting on skates and elbow pads – why not play a little defense while you are waiting for your turn to spit on the bench floor?
- Throw a career sidelining body check. We aren't saying that it should be an Oiler that gets hurt. That's cruel. Now an Avalanche on the other hand … they could sustain an MCL tear and we would sleep soundly tonight.
They are all insured, it will be fine.

Pokemon Platinum, was glad it came out and all, but once I started playing it I didnt feel like continuing.
Let's see...
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+(psp). I didn't even buy the game knowing what it wasa! I thought it was like a MGS upgrade for the PSP! Kinda like how MGS2 has SUbstance, MGS3 has Subsistence, and MGS4 has Persistence! Boy, was I off!

Resident Evil 0 and 5, the whole magic of Resident Evil is you're ALONE with some rare encounters with other living/non-infected people... NOT A FRIGGIN Co-op! I gave each game a chance and just couldn't find myself wanting to continue. I also just couldn't get into Bully for some reason.
I found 9 to be the one with the most interesting story and deep characters, personally I enjoyed it a lot more than 7, 8 and 10.
I can't believe that you guys found FF9 boring :(
And the game... Well, for me it's Morrowind. Probably a great story and all, but I played Oblivion first, and I'm used to better graphics (sorry to say!) so for me the game just sucked, couldn't get into it no matter how much I tried :/
EDIT: Mass Effect. Fancy graphics, poor story and gameplay.

The wait is over for now, for Red and Jan Hess of Ferron, for the safe return of their son. CW3 Kelly Hess recently returned from Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. He has been serving with the Utah National Guard 1-211th Aviation Battalion from West Jordan, as an Apache helicopter pilot. He arrived at Ft. Carson, Colo. on St. Patrick's Day for several days of debriefing before returning to Salt Lake City to his anxious and proud family.
During his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Hess flew the Apache on supply runs, medivac flights and moving troops around the area. On one flight in particular, he was escorting a Blackhawk when it became the target of a rocket propelled grenade attack. His commanding officer recommended him for the Air Medal Commendation for actions he took during the attack.
The commander wrote the following: "CW3 Kelly Hess distinguished himself while supporting a Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJSOTF) mission in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On Sept. 4, 2004, CW3 Hess was the pilot in command (PC) of an AH-64 Apache helicopter providing gunship support for a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter transporting Special Forces soldiers from Nangalam to Bagram Air Base.
"While flying through a narrow, steeply walled mountain valley, the UH-60 helicopter was fired upon with a rocket propelled grenade. While the UH-60 helicopter circled further down the valley out of harms way, CW3 Hess obtained information from the UH-60 crew and Special Forces soldiers. This information included the origin of the attack, number of Anti-Coalition Militia (ACM) and the physical description. Utilizing this intelligence, CW3 Hess and crew located the ACM members involved in the attack, observing them and their actions to gain further intelligence. After completing this objective, CW3 Hess and crew escorted the UH-60 helicopter to the Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Jalalabad.
"While the aircraft were being refueled in Jalalabad, CW3 Hess assisted in coordinating the information collected from both aircrews and Special Forces Soldiers regarding the incident. He was instrumental in developing and coordinating a deliberate and well-planned course of response to the attack. CW3 Hess then briefed the response plan to other aircrew members and Special Forces team, soliciting feedback and refining the mission plan prior to mission initiation. He further assisted in coordination of transmission of the acquired intelligence and proposed course of action to the Task Force Pirate Tactical Operation Center (TOC) in an extremely professional manner.
"Upon receiving authorization, CW3 Hess and crew escorted the UH-60 back to the attack site. CW3 Hess and crew provided advance reconnaissance to include relocating the ACM forces from their place of concealment, marking the ACM forces location for ground troop recognition, as well as continued observation of the ACMs movement as they attempted to flee. These observations were continuously relayed to the Special Forces team inserted by the UH-60 and aided the Special Forces team with the interception and capture of two ACM members. Throughout the action, CW3 Hess and crew provided close air support to the Special Forces team.
"Upon capture of the two ACM members, CW3 Hess and crew provided gunship support for the UH-60 helicopter transporting the Special Forces soldiers and their prisoners to Asadabad and the return flight to Bagram Air Base.
"CW3 Hess' actions directly contributed to the capture of two ACM members with an associated increase in human intelligence (HUMINT) regarding ACM activity in the Asadabad area."
CW3 Hess has been in the military for 20 years and performed multiple jobs during his career. He began his military career in Price with the 1457th Engineers. He later transferred to the 211th Aviation. He has been flying since 1997. His wife Lori, is also an Emery County native and her mother Sandra Boren, lives in Ferron. Kelly's brother, Jerry and his wife Kandi are also from Ferron.
Hess has been away from home for more than 15 months, and is looking forward to spending some quality time with family. He also expresses his appreciation to the many people who wrote or sent packages, and he wants them to know how much they meant. The love and support from home, shown by the many patriotic Americans, helps those military personnel who are stationed far from home.
Kelly is an Emery High graduate and carries on a proud military tradition started by his father, Red, who is also a veteran and a long time active member of American Legion Post #42. His mom, Jan, is very active with the American Legion Auxiliary and established Operation Home Support.
This is an effort to provide Emery County military personnel currently serving overseas, with care packages.
These packages include hygiene items, snack foods, and small entertainment items.
This is an ongoing project and anyone interested in donating money for postage, or items to be included in the packages, can contact Jan at 384-2753.

Of all the qualities Rick Ray is trying to instill in Mississippi State's basketball team, perhaps the most important one has already taken hold.
The players are listening to him.
This is a young, impressionable team, and they appear to be a group eager to learn from their coach and from their mistakes. They seem willing to sacrifice self for the greater good.
That's what Ray wants from them, and that's what this program needs. I imagine it's very refreshing for the fans to see this.
The Bulldogs are 2-4, having defeated Alcorn State on Tuesday after losing three games at the Maui Invitational last week. It was evident in postgame interviews that the players are taking instruction and trying to apply it.
Freshman Fred Thomas said coaches told him to be patient and find other shots if his 3-pointers weren't falling. He did that Tuesday, scoring 14 points despite missing all four 3-point attempts.
Freshman Craig Sword was told to "play calm" and let the game come to him. He did that Tuesday, scoring 14 points and recording five steals.
Freshman Gavin Ware said there was an emphasis on hitting the boards, because the Bulldogs had been out-rebounded in every game this season. On Tuesday, they won that battle convincingly, 50-20.
What I saw against Alcorn State was an MSU team bent on forcing the issue offensively, with smooth ball movement and aggressiveness in the paint. Defensively, MSU made life miserable for Alcorn, cutting off passing lanes and forcing tough looks.
It was the kind of play Ray is hoping will define this team long term. Of course, the opponent was Alcorn State. The competition was much stiffer in Maui – North Carolina, Marquette and Texas.
What matters, though, is that the Bulldogs are doing what they're asked despite all the bad things happening around them. There are seven scholarship players available right now.
The current situation actually might provide benefits for this team over the long haul. At least, Ware believes so.
"That actually brought us closer together," he said of the Maui trip. "We had trials and tribulations down there. … When we came back to practice, we were like, we're not going to let anything that was in Maui carry over, except the motivation part where we need to get better, work hard, get better looks."
Ware added that Ray told the players they were being selfish in Maui. They took that to heart, and I didn't see a shred of selfishness on Tuesday.
These guys are listening. They get it. At some point, there should be a big payoff for that.

Press hardening takes center stage at Schuler convention
Press manufacturer Schuler recently held a convention in Waghäusel, Germany, where about 80 visitors heard from industry and academic experts about the latest developments in press hardening and other lightweight construction methods.
Use of press-hardened parts has grown from about 8 million pieces in 1997 to 124 million in 2010. In the next two years, demand is expected to almost quadruple to as many as 450 million pieces. The demand comes mainly from the automotive industry for such parts as bumper supports, roof frames, sills, B-columns, and tunnels.
"Blanks or preformed parts are heated in a furnace to a temperature of 930 degrees C," explained Schuler Sales Manager Jens Aspacher. "The heated blanks then have to be fed into the press as quickly as possible to prevent rapid air cooling." The press remains closed for a few additional seconds during the forming process so that parts can cool and harden. Cycle times are from 8 to 30 sec.
Once they have cooled down, the parts have a final tensile strength of up to 1,500 megapascal. Because of their high rigidity, less material is needed per part to ensure the same level of stability, thus reducing weight. Press force can be reduced to 400 to 1,200 metric tons — as compared to 2,500 to 3,000 metric tons — and springback is reduced.

Who else is as hungover as me? I celebrated Memorial Day yesterday with a 12 pack of Coors Light and some subpar BBQ at my neighbors place. And now I sort of hate myself, mostly because I don't like my neighbor but I wasn't invited to any parties so I had no choice. I really need to make some friends, which is tough to do because I sacrifice my life in providing you with the sexiest hotty celeb pictures available on the seedy Internet. What, you think this stuff just magically happens? No, it takes time and commitment, a passion, and someone like me that has absolutely no social life and enjoys creeping on the Internet. So really yesterday while you were hanging with big boobed bikini girls at your friend's big pool party, I was making a sacrifice hanging with my loser neighbor watching reruns of OC Housewives and drinking cheap beers. Next Memorial Day, maybe you should remember those of us who make a sacrifice for your Internet pleasures…
Speaking of Internet pleasures, here are pictures out of Cannes from the Film Festival. This is another big celebrity Charity event, The Amber Lounge Charity Event. Vanessa Hudgens, Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games), Zahia Dehar, to name a few, showed up looking sexy as hell. Vanessa Hudgens in the white sexy dress took the cake for me. She's just so damn hot. Sometimes I think she doesn't even know that I exist, which is mostly because she completely doesn't know that I exist. Life's realities are sometimes overly harsh.
Anyways, due to my commitment to your Internet pleasure, I have a lot of really sexy pictures of all these girls. I know you probably had a lot of fun yesterday at your bikini party and are probably super hungover right now watching some nameless sexy girl pick up her bikini from your floor while you get dressed for work, which is fine, so long as you remember the people like me in this world who make great sacrifices to provide you with the content you love so much.
God Bless.

Taming two weld beads
Handling a pair of red-hot, razor-sharp scarf strands at once
The essential tube and pipe production processes on a weld mill haven't changed much since the 1920s. Some new processes are available, such as laser welding, and the line speeds are faster, but much else hasn't changed. One factor that has undergone some change is how the weld bead, also known as scarf and a stringer, is handled. The conventional method was to wind it up as it came off the tube, but OD scarf choppers reduced operator exposure to this strand of red-hot, razor-sharp metal. Similcut has taken safety a step further by introducing a self-feeding OD chopper and wheelless, cantilevered ID chopper.
Many tube and pipe mill operators, or maybe all of them, would agree that handling scarf is one of the most demanding tasks they have. The weld bead is red-hot, and when the scarfing tool peels it off the weld seam, whether it's from the ID or OD, it becomes razor-sharp. Mill speeds have increased over the decades, and so has the speed at which the scarf comes off the tube.
Equipment manufacturers offer two ways to deal with the strands of OD scarf: winding and chopping. Winding it up on a powered take-up reel is the conventional way to handle it; chopping it into short lengths is the newer of the two methods. While both have advantages, neither eliminates the risks associated with handling a hot, sharp strand of steel that relentlessly feeds off the mill.
While it's unlikely that a future technology will ever eliminate scarfing hazards—the stringer will always be a hot, sharp strand of metal in motion—two relatively recent developments help reduce operator exposure to the weld beads that come off of medium- to large-diameter tube and pipe.
Working on the OD
"Almost everyone does OD scarfing," said John Seminew, founder of Similcut LLC, a manufacturer of custom-made scarf choppers. The conventional way to remove OD scarf is to feed it to a powered winder. When the winder is full, the mill operator stops the winder, cuts the strand, removes the ball of scarf from the winder, and drops it into a bin. The operator has to do this quickly because the mill is still running and scarf is feeding off of the tube or pipe; he needs to thread the new end into the winder and the process starts again.
It's a hazardous job; in addition to risk of burns and lacerations, the operator is at risk for stress injuries related to lifting the ball of scarf, which can weigh up to 90 lbs., and tendonitis from the frequent clenching motion needed to cut the strand with tin snips and gripping motion used to lift the scarf ball. Occasionally the strand breaks, creating two new hazards: The winder continues to rotate, with a tail of scarf sticking out, and the tube mill continues to run, sending the scarf anywhere but to the winder.
"You can never turn your back on a winder," Seminew said.
All this changed with the arrival of the scarf chopper. After starting the mill, the operator grasps the end of the strand with a pair of pliers and guides it into the chopper's intake. The chopper then cuts the continuous ribbon into manageable lengths.
For OD scarfing, Seminew's development is a self-feeding chopper. After the unit is lowered into place, it begins scarfing the pipe and the stringer feeds directly into the chopper. The blade activates every few seconds, chopping off a short length (6 to 10 in., depending on the setting and line speed) that drops onto a magnetic conveyor and is carried away from the weld area.
A Look Inside
ID scarfing isn't nearly as common as OD scarfing.
"ID scarfing depends on the product," Seminew said. "Pipe made to API standards and other pipe made to carry liquids usually require ID scarfing."
Compared to OD scarf, ID scarf should be easier to handle because it's inside the tube or pipe and its movement is restricted. In fact, ID scarfing is the trickier of the two processes. Ideally, ID scarf twists and curves slightly, forming a gently bending ribbon of steel inside the hollow. In reality, it often develops kinks and knots, forming a so-called "bird's nest" inside the pipe, and removing it can be a time-consuming and messy job.
"It's difficult because you can't see it," Seminew said. "When you're making large-diameter pipe, you might have to walk 300 feet to the end of the line to take a look inside the tube to see what's going on."
Adjustments and Maintenance. The scarfing tool requires frequent adjustment to change the cut depth. Manufacturing tube is anything but a constant, predictable process. Tool wear, a change in the raw material's hardness, drifting welder power caused by line current fluctuations, or any other unintended change in the multitude of variables on a mill can alter the cut depth, requiring the operator to make an adjustment to compensate.
"Most ID scarf toolholders have wheels," Seminew said. "The wheels contact the bottom of the tube's ID and the scarfing tool contacts the top of the tube's ID. The operator raises or lowers the wheel to adjust the tool's cutting depth."
"To make an adjustment, the operator has to stop the mill, then usually cuts a hole in the bottom of the tube to drain the coolant," said Dan Ventura, a former mill operator, currently president of Ventura & Associates, an engineering consulting firm. "Then he has to cut a window in the top of the tube to get access to the toolholder. The tube is hot, there's a strand of red-hot scarf in there, and the operator can't wear gloves because he's trying to adjust some tiny set screws."
The wheel itself can be troublesome. The ID of a tube or pipe on a weld mill is an extreme environment—it's hot, a strand of scarf is snaking around in there somewhere, and it's drenched in coolant—so the wheel doesn't last long and must be replaced periodically.
Cutting and Removing the Stringer. In past years most tube and pipe mills used a friction saw to cut the tube or pipe and the stringer; this limited the stringer's length to the pipe length. These days many mills use carbide-tipped saw blades on a saw that orbits the tube or pipe, cutting through the wall but no farther. By not cutting through the ID, the blade avoids the stringer, preventing damage to the saw's teeth. The operator has to clip the stringer manually.
Chop It. For chopping ID scarf, Similcut's design is a cantilevered arm without a wheel. It's adjustable from the stand, eliminating the need to open the workpiece to adjust the cut depth. Some models are equipped with a camera so the operator can see how deep the scarfing tool is cutting into the tube wall. The operator can adjust the cut depth to the right depth on-the-fly. It also chops the stringer into pieces, preventing the dreaded bird's nest.
ID scarf chopping has limitations. Similcut's smallest design works in tube or pipe with a 3.5-in. ID; for sizes smaller than 3.5 in., a conventional toolholder is the way to go. Furthermore, chopping the ID strand doesn't remove all the hazards and hassles. Whether the stringer is continuous or in pieces, it must be removed in a subsequent flushing step. The common method is a blast of water under high pressure sent through the tube. As the wave of water exits the far end, it brings the stringer (or stringers) with it. A backstop, usually made from plywood, stops the forward momentum; the stringer hits the floor and the water goes everywhere.
Finally, Similcut equipment isn't available off-the-shelf.
"On all cantilevered arms, the scarfing tool must be in the proper position relative to the weld head," Seminew said. "The arm also has to hold the impeder, which must be at the proper location relative to the weld rolls. Each installation is a custom installation." An order can take up to four months from the time the purchase order is cut until the unit ships.
These limitations have to be weighed against the reduced exposure to hazards; the convenience of seeing inside the tube to accurately set the cut depth; the ease of changing the cut depth; and the ability to change the cut depth on-the-fly.

Wales and Scarlets fly-half Rhys Priestland has spoken out over his mental state during the November Internationals.
Wales and Scarlets fly-half Rhys Priestland has spoken out over his mental state during the November Internationals.
Priestland is currently recovering from a ruptured achilles tendon which has forced him to miss the Six Nations, and admitted that at times last November he did not want to take the field.
A breakthrough star for Wales during the 2011 Rugby World Cup, Priestland continued his outstanding form as Wales won the Grand Slam in last year's Six Nations, before a miserable run of eight consecutive Test defeats set in.
"I wasn't really enjoying rugby, especially at the start of the autumn internationals I didn't really want to be on the field," said Priestland to BBC Radio Wales.
"After the Samoa game was probably my lowest point. I remember speaking to [Wales interim head coach] Rob Howley and… I said, 'I'm not happy, I'm not looking forward to going on the field'.
"I'm going on the field and I just don't want to make mistakes and I've never played like that.
"I found it quite tough and off the field things weren't going that well for me.
"I remember him [Howley] asking me, 'Do you want to play against the All Blacks?' and I couldn't answer him straight away, and I couldn't believe that I had to think about things like that.
"After the Samoa game I saw Andy McCann, who's the sports psychologist with the squad, and from the first time I met him it was such a weight off my shoulders, just nice to speak to somebody.
"I'm not the sort of person who can easily ask for help, so just being able to speak to somebody and put things in perspective helped me a lot.
"I thought I turned things around quite well from the first two games to the second two games and I was really happy with the way things were going. Then obviously my injury happened but it's just one of those things."
With his achilles injury forcing him to miss out on a possible spot on the Lions tour, Priestland believes the blow could help him in the long-term as he continues to feel progress in his recovery on a daily basis.
"I think my body was crying out for a break; my shoulder was sore, my back was sore, my knees were sore," added Priestland
"Obviously I didn't want to rupture my Achilles but I've had this break now and it's given me the chance to sort the rest of my body out, it could be a blessing in disguise.
"Because I haven't got much rugby commitments now I can concentrate on the aspects I need to sort out. I'm enjoying it to be honest.
"I'm probably about halfway now, so hopefully back the start of April but who knows?
"Rupturing your Achilles isn't what it used to be, you used to be out for six to nine months but now it's four or five months.
"Every day I come in it's improving and I can see the step by steps I need to take to get it better and I'm quite enjoying it, to be honest."

Panda express is always surprising us with tasty dishes, but the beef brocoli could use a little more more and smaller pieces of broccoli.
Asia Garden has been around for quite some time, and the inside kind of looks like it, but the food is really tasty and you can never go wrong with one of their flaming Mai Tai's!!! The atmosphere isn't really the greatest though... Go for food and drink, but don't try and treat it like a night club.
I have been going to this restaurant as a little kid, and love that they haven't changed it. The atmosphere is one of a kind. The food has a great flavor that can't be beat. The dishes served are made from fresh tasting ingredients. The Asia Garden Special is my absolute favorite!!!
