A late Tom English try secured the Rebels a deserved 24-22 Super Rugby victory over the Waratahs in Melbourne on Friday.
A late Tom English try secured the Rebels a deserved 24-22 victory over the Waratahs in Melbourne on Friday.
English scored his second try of the match, in the right-hand corner in the 74th minute, to clinch a memorable first-ever win for Australia's youngest franchise over the Waratahs.
In a closely fought contest, the Rebels started the match brightly and full-back Jason Woodward opened the scoring with a penalty in the sixth minute before Berrick Barnes replied with a three-pointer for the visitors, two minutes later.
Shortly afterwards, the hosts regained the lead when English went over in the right-hand corner after Jason Woodward did well to get his pass away to the flyer despite great pressure from Drew Mitchell.
Barnes added another penalty in the 13th minute butthe Rebels held the upperhand during the early exchanges but could not convert that dominance into points.
They eventually added to their lead when Woodward succeeded with another penalty in the 31st minute before Barnes cancelled out that effort with his third three-pointer two minutes later.
The Waratahs gained the lead for the first time when Israel Folau scored his side's only try after intercepting a Lachlan Mitchell pass, close to the Rebels' try-line.
With the score 16-13, the visitors must have fancied their chances of kicking on and continuing with their unbeaten run against the Rebels.
The second half was a more subdued affair, with improved defence now the most noticeable charactateristic of the match.
The Waratahs added a penalty, shortly after the restart, but both sides went into their shells on attack for the rest of the game.
Woodward eventually added two further penalties to draw the home side level at 19-all by the 65th minute before Brendan McKibbin regain the lead for the 'Tahs with a place kick two minutes later.
The last 10 minutes was a frantic affair as the Rebels upped the ante, in an attempt to claw their way back, and their efforts were rewarded when English crossed over after Woodward, Cadeyrn Neville and Mitchell did well in the build-up.
McKibbin had an opportunity to win the game for the visitors in the 77th minute, but he pushed his penalty attempt just wide of the uprights.

For Rebels:
Tries: English 2
Con: Woodward
Pens: Woodward 4

|In response to Re: Delta Monitor, low shower pressure
: The shower head may be clean but it has a flow regulator to keep it from using too much water. Most flow regulators are built into the shower head and cannot be removed.
: : I lava a Delta Monitor (single handle) in my shower. The water that comes out of a spout has good pressure, but when I switch to a shower, it has hardly any pressure. I checked the shower head, and it is clean. If there is problem with the pressure regulator (or whatever the heck it is inside the spout) any suggestions on how to take it apart and fix it would be much appreciated.

Thursday, September 02, 2010
In April, senior ashtanga teacher Lino Miele told us that in the ashtanga vinyasa yoga system, Jalandhara Bandha (the chin-lock) is not used during the asana (posture) portion of practice. He said that it is only used for pranayama (breathing). "There are a few things that Guruji [Sri K. Pattabhi Jois] was very particular to teach," he said. "This is how I know if it came from him or somewhere else.
"Once the guru dies, everyone goes like this," he said, spreading out his arms. "I don't want to go like this."
In August, David Williams (the first American to study with Pattabhi Jois) took me aside before his workshop, and told me that he liked my article about Lino, but that it was wrong when it came to Jalandhara Bandha. He said that the chin-lock is done in every pose. He had a text by Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (the guru of Pattabhi Jois) to back him up. It said, "When I explain the rules of yogasana [yoga postures], if the position of the head has not been specified, then keep the head in jalandhara bandha."
I said to DW that the correct response would be to write a letter to the editor. DW said he did not want to pursue it. I said that ashtanga is interesting that way; in April, Lino Miele said that Mula Bandha (the root lock) means to pull up the anus. From my Yoga Chicago article:
When he was writing the books with Guruji (they also completed a book on advanced A and B series, which has not yet been published), Lino said he brought in some other yoga books, and told Guruji he was confused about mula bandha. "Gurji threw away the books. He said, 'I am the book. You and I are writing the book, and you go to other books?'
"OK, Guruji--but where is mula bandha?"
"'The anus.'"
I told DW that a month later, Tim Miller (the first American certified to teach the ashtanga system) came to town and told us that Mula Bandha does not mean to pull up the anus. From my article in the September/October Yoga Chicago, which is not yet online:
Tim began "The Mysterious and Elusive Bandhas" by explaining, "mula bandha [root lock] doesn't mean to contract your anus." Instead, the action involves lifting the tailbone towards the pubic bone.
I told DW that I found the differences rather amusing.
As for the chin-lock, I recalled that the old pictures of Pattabhi Jois show him doing something like it in the seated forward bends (one year, David Roche, who is a certified teacher *and* a big-time mixer, came to town and had us do all the poses old-school like that. It felt good on the back, and it was easier to catch the bottom two locks. But it did not feel right).
I figured that at some point, it shifted to from chin-to-chest to chin-to-shin in the seated forward bends, with eyes towards the feet.
What I didn't say was that at some point these debates are a bit like the war over which side to open the hard-boiled egg on in the Lilliput section of Gulliver's Travels.
After my discussion with David W, I attended his led primary series workshop at his invitation. He had the students do Jalandhara Bandha in each and every pose.
The following week, the regular Mysore students were still practicing that way, and we had a discussion. I said that the reason for many differences is that Guruji's teachings evolved over the years. (What I did not say is that many differences are due to younger / newer / careless instructors teaching incorrectly, which is a whole 'nother post). I said that I tend to go with my own 12 months of experience with Guruji and what Lino says, since he spent so much time with Guruji trying to get everything straight. After all, how can you look at your foot (the correct dristi, or gaze, in most seated forward bends) if your chin is at your chest? I suggested they find some sort of middle way: neck neutral, eyes towards feet, forehead relaxed. But when I practice, I do chin-to-shin.
On Tuesday, I found Jason Stein's notes from a July 28, 2004 conference with Guruji and Sharath in Mysore:
"Jalandhara bandha is only to be engaged during pranayama, not during asana practice."
Straight from the Guru. To Jason. To you.
Although Jason adds a caveat:
"Take as gospel at your own risk."

Growing Sinkhole Threatens Homes
A giant sinkhole has devoured several acres of land and part of an Ohio highway.
The hole, estimated by the local fire chief to be the size of four football fields, swallowed up part of State Route 516 in Dover. The road will have to be closed for months while engineers determine the best way to make permanent repairs.
"I've worked for ODOT sixteen years and I've never seen anything of this magnitude," said Ohio Department of Transportation District 11 Director Lloyd McAdam. "It's very unusual that something like this would happen."
Hank Rutkowski, a mechanical engineer who works only a few hundred yards from the sinkhole, says a man who works in the same building was just about to drive where the sinkhole was rapidly forming.
"There was a car coming down this road right about at the end when it was still driveable," Rutkowski said. "Mike started waving his arms to stop traffic. That person might have been lucky."
Engineers will continue inspecting the sinkhole and may eventually consider building a bridge over the affected area. ODOT's McAdam predicted it would be until 2013 that permanent repairs would be made.
"It's going to be a while before the road is open because this is a significant fix, and we're entering winter season where not a whole lot of construction can take place," he said.

As much as we love our single-serving Tumblrs angling for a book deal, we miss seeing blogs constructed simply because that person had a subject that s/he truly loved. That's why we love Allen Fuqua's Movie Mimic blog, where he combines his love of cinema and traveling around the world: Whether he's in Japan or Illinois, Allen photographs himself at famous high schools and temples as featured in beloved movies.
At first I thought that he was just approximating scenes from Lost in Translation and such, but if you look closely you realize that Allen has tracked down the cafes and even specific tables where scenes were shot. Plus, he's not a snob about what qualifies a movie for his homage: His blog runs the gamut from anime to 10 Things I Hate About You, as you see above. His photographers, too, range from professionals to strangers he meets on his travels; he recently tweeted, If I do a mimic near you, I'd love to have you join!
So Allen, if you ever want to recreate a Woody Allen film or something recent like Shame, you should look Crushable up! We'd gladly take time out of the work day for some movie mimicking.

Game Changers
Located on the lower level of the resort, XS the Nightclub at Encore lives up to its name. The 40,000-square-foot club flows out from the stairway, all curves and opulence. Chandeliers throughout and more than 10,000 light sources illuminate the richly appointed space, which is adorned in gold, bronze, black and brown hues. Curvaceous female torsos along the side walls draw the eye; the sculptures' concave gold leaf finish adding a sensuous element. The sunken dance floor — surrounded by gold crocodile-embossed leather booths and crowned with a 10-foot rotating chandelier — flows out to a pool ringed by private cabanas. An island bar appears to float on the water.
On a Saturday night, a long line of guests eagerly awaits entering the most expensive club ever built in Las Vegas. Inside, the dance floor throbs with exquisitely attired partiers; beautiful women take to the dance poles scattered throughout the club. Bottles of high-end spirits — Ketel One, Dom Perignon, Absolut, Patron, Grey Goose — are paraded to VIP tables by model-perfect cocktail servers. Tabs run from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. One has to wonder, "Recession? What recession?"
Typically watching the action from a VIP booth are Cy and Jesse Waits, managing partners of XS and also Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas and Drai's After Hours at Bill's Gamblin' Hall. Flanked by a bevy of beauties, the identical twins, whose playboy reputations are well-chronicled, may look like they're enjoying themselves, but they're actually working. In fact, putting in 20-hour days — or nights, as it were — the pair may be the hardest working guys in Vegas.
Together with Victor Drai, who co-owns Tryst and XS with the Wynn organization and heads up this powerhouse trinity, the Waits brothers oversee a nightlife empire. From the exclusive, edgy vibe of Drai's After Hours — one of the first clubs to bring bottle service to Las Vegas, the intimate venue is a favorite of hip hop DJs and fans — to the game-changing opening of Tryst to the blockbuster debut of XS on New Year's Eve, the trio has raised the bar on nightlife to an entirely new level. Together, the three clubs are expected to exceed $100 million in revenue in 2009, a figure unheard of in Vegas and unimaginable in today's economy.
Exquisite club environs, attention to detail and high levels of guest service are supported by precise operational systems and a loyal staff that drive astronomical revenues, attributes that earned them the 2009 Operator of the Year Award from Nightclub & Bar. Tryst and Drai's are also among the Nightclub & Bar 2009 Top 100, ranked at number 2 and 22, respectively. XS hosted the Top 100 Party, sponsored by Absolut, held during the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show in March.

At the end a five-hour meeting Aug. 26, Littleton's planning board voted 6-1 to urge rejection of the controversial Broadstone apartment project.
"Last time, I think you were on the 60-yard line. This time, I think you're up to the 80-yard line," said board member Andrew Graham. "It just wasn't enough to push it over for me."
The board sent a unanimous unfavorable recommendation to Littleton City Council in June. The developer made some last-minute changes before what was to be the final public hearing on July 30, prompting council to send it back to planning.
Lots of citizens are still not happy with the project proposed for the old sheriff's building site, despite increased setbacks, decreased height, lowered density and promised traffic improvements.
"You can take a 150-pound dog and shave it, and it's still a 150-pound dog," said Brenda O'Connell, one of about 45 people who were there in opposition.
Tom O'Brien, one of a handful of supporters, called the proceedings a "token meeting" and questioned the board member's motives.
"To me, this feels like a mob mentality," he said. "I guess you guys just go along with the mob."
Stew Meagher, a former planning-board member, said the endless drilling down into the details of the various and sometimes contradictory planning documents governing the site prompted him to get off his couch and show up in person to comment.
"Something is going to happen to that site, and this might be the best we ever get," he said.
The developer has changed some minds since the last go-round. This time, chair Randy Duzan supported the project, saying it's rough around the edges but would support synergy and vibrancy in the downtown area.
"It would help it to be a place where people want to be," he said.
Fran Pierson lives just east of the site in Littleton Station condos and has been working against the project with the grassroots Citizens for Rational Development since the beginning. He now supports the project.
"This was a difficult decision for me, because I had really been working with the neighbors against this for a very long time," he said, adding that his philosophy is to always seek compromise. "We were so close, it wasn't worth quibbling about."
Board member Karina Elrod made a last-ditch effort to approve the plan on the condition the developer lower the density. Originally 325 units, the latest plan is for 225, about 50 units per acre. Elrod thought 196 would more closely adhere to a design plan for the site. The Littleton Boulevard Corridor study, ratified by council, says 40 units per acre could prove economically viable, but there's some ambiguity about whether that's a minimum or a maximum or somewhere in between.
Duzan tried to table the matter to give the developer more time to comply with such a condition, but developer Andy Clay of Alliance Residential said he's under contractual obligation to his investor and the property owner to get this wrapped up.
"Frankly, we're out of time to make changes that would end up remanding it back to the planning board," he said.

Gold Award for Best Twin Buggy
Mountain Buggy duet has been awarded 2016 Twin Buggy Gold by Prima Baby magazine.
Prima Baby magazine is a leading title among parents in the UK and The Prima Baby awards are a trusted voice informing parents about the products and services that do genuinely make life easier, better and more fun for young families. As well as some of the country's leading experts, the judging panel consists of real mums and dads. Read more here .Written by: Prima Baby & Pregnancy Awards
"I checked with the 10,000-plus chorus of mothers on the uber-resource Facebook page, "Upper East Side Mamas" and they all pledged their support of the purchase. This way, we can still stroll Leo around town along with baby." read the full story hereWritten by: Caroline Tell, New York Observer
"This puppy fits through the smallest of spaces. I took it to the grocery store and was SHOCKED when I could fit through the space up by the cashier." Read the full review hereWritten by: Michelle Lindsay, wellroundedny.com
GOLD! Best Double Stroller
Our duet buggy was judged Best Double Stroller in the Pushchair Trader Awards, 2013!
"The Mountain Buggy Duet has its wheels tucked in under its seats making it nice and narrow. It has separate hoods and a really nice big basket. The recline is a little fiddly, but works well enough. Some people may find this pushchair a little heavy to put in the car, but once you realise how it handles even with two on board, you won't want to go back!"
BEST Side-by-side Double Stroller
Our duet was judged Best Side-by-side Double Stroller in the Mom Trends Must-have Stroller Awards, 2014!
"Side-by-side double strollers have their convenience – it's easy to see and help both children at once, and there's no fighting over who has the better view. But they can also be beasts that take up half the sidewalk, knock over store aisle displays, and require a scene anytime you want to go through a doorway. Except for the Mountain Buggy Duet . Mountain Buggy has designed their double stroller to be the same width as a single stroller – just 25" wide! Inside the super compact frame, there are still lots of your favorite stroller features like an adjustable handlebar, full-coverage canopy, and padded seats with a full recline. The Duet maneuvers and turns like a dream..." - Mom Trends Must-have Stroller AwardsRead the full duet stroller review at Momtrends.com
4.5 out of 5 star rating!
"The first thing I noticed is that the Mountain Buggy Duet's four ten-inch, air filled tyres provide excellent suspension (I wouldn't expect anything less from a pram that was built to handle the mountains of New Zealand!)
You won't have any problems changing direction or lifting the Duet onto the pavement or kerb, as not only is it light, it's easy to steer and can change direction at the drop of a hat.
The movements are very fluid and it's definitely not a struggle to use unlike countless other buggies I've pushed. The lightweight aluminum chassis coupled with the tyres makes for a super light double buggy option.
As a mother of four who has tried out many double buggies, this is the best of the bunch by a mile." - Sybilla Hart, Made for Mums product reviewerRead the full duet stroller review at MadeforMums.com
FINALIST! Best Ride for Two
Our duet has been selected as a finalist in the Best Ride for Two category of the Cribsie Awards, 2015!
"The Cribsie Awards are the definitive awards for the parenting industry. Co-hosted by StrollerTraffic and The Baby Guy, the fourth annual Cribsie Awards create a secure forum for opinionated parents to elect their favorite brands and services from a curated list of best-of-the-best finalists, across five categories. Our mission is to recognize the best brands, products, services, and websites for babies, tots, and the parents who adore them." - Cribsie AwardsSee the full list of Cribsie Award finalists for 2015
Mountain Buggy Duet
"With my hectic life, I don't have time for gym or classes (well that's the excuse I use, and I'm sticking to it) so a really good walk down to the beach or to the park is enough to keep me in semi-ok shape. The Mountain Buggy Duet is really an amazing pram. It's side by side which is the only way I would do it. I don't like the idea of shoving one child behind the other and I think that it's great that they interact the whole time. I know some mothers stress about taking up the whole sidewalk but this is not at all the case with the Duet. It fits through a normal doorway because its actually the same width as singe believe it or not." - Behind the scenes with Bec at Bellies & BeyondRead the full verve stroller review by Belliesandbeyond.com
WINNER! Of a Prima Baby Award, 2015
Our duet buggy was awarded a Bronze medal in the Best Double Buggy category of the Prima Baby Awards, 2015! Read what Prima Baby had to say about duet:
"I took the Duet out for a stroll with my four and three-year-old plus newborn baby Celestia. The first thing I noticed is that the Mountain Buggy Duet's four ten-inch, air filled tyres provide excellent suspension (I wouldn't expect anything less from a pram that was built to handle the mountains of New Zealand!)
You won't have any problems changing direction or lifting the Duet onto the pavement or kerb, as not only is it light, it's easy to steer and can change direction at the drop of a hat. The movements are very fluid and it's definitely not a struggle to use unlike countless other buggies I've pushed." - Prima Baby AwardsRead the full review at madeformums.com
"The Mountain Buggy duet: it is only 25″ wide (the same as a single stroller), so it can fit through doorways. In fact, when we first got this stroller assembled, that was the very first thing we tried out. We were pleasantly surprised that it easily maneuvered through our smallest doorway in our house. If you are looking for a narrow stroller, this is the narrowest one on the market."
Read the full review hereWritten by: The Wise Baby
SILVER! Best Twin Buggy
Our duet was judged Best Twin Buggy in the Prima Baby Awards, 2014!
"It is incredible that an all terrain, side-by-side pushchair can be so compact. I noticed how much lighter and easier to lift it is. I could fold it and put it in the car without my usual huffing and puffing! I took it on my usual off-road jaunts across Richmond Park with dog in tow, and it coped admirably with every surface and hill. Public transport was no problem either as it takes up so little space. And I felt much less conspicuous in shops and cafes!
The fabric is durable and the overall look is stylish and in keeping with the outdoors/active theme. A new black and red colourway has just been introduced. There are some nice touches like a bottle holder and safety wrist strap that mark it out from other buggies." - Prima Baby & Pregnancy Awards
"It's all about skinny this year and I'm not talking about jeans! Mountain Buggy , makers of some of the most rugged and durable strollers perfect for all-terrain that you will find, has just introduced the skinniest side-by-side double stroller that is available."Read the full duet stroller review by BabyGizmo.com
"25 inches. That is a full 4 inches more narrow than the narrowest doubles currently on the market... The Mountain Buggy duet accommodates kids from birth through 40 pounds per seat, with a fully-adjustable reclining strap located on the back. You want bassinet compatibility? You've got it - it can either hold one or two. Car seats? Yep. It's got ya covered!... I love this stroller. I love this company. That is all." - Jamie Grayson, The Baby Guy NYCRead the full duet review by babyguygearguide.com
"Super slim-line double pram. The best side by side double for use in busy urban areas, versatile enough to go off-road." - Buggy & Pram ReviewsRead the full duet review
"I'm liking: So much! It's got that awesome Mountain Buggy manoeuvrability and is a brilliant smooth ride over rugged ground. It's narrow enough to swing around in shops (passed the 'mall' test with flying colours() and my girls liked riding together (well, the big one did, anyway- 2 months is a bit young to express an opinion on this issue)." - Rochelle GribbbleRead the full duet review by kiwifamilies.co.nz
"This is the best product on the market for twins! Robust and easy to handle, but especially light! You are the best!! Mountain buggy is the best!! I am proud of my M.B. Duet!"Written by: Lorenzo Tacchini
"Purchased the Duet with the Carry Cots and they were amazing for our newborn twins. Highly recommended for newborns until about 3 months. After that converted back to two seat stroller and have no complaints. Easy to handle in all situations and perfect for indoors - fits through all doorways. Twins are now 8 months and still loving the stroller. Only setback is the small storage underneath when babies are in stroller. Hard to place or remove things from the bottom but that is a minor issue. I highly recommend this stroller."
Note: We listen, we develop, we deliver. After reading Dave and other duet stroller users' feedback, we introduced additional storage bags and caddies to the stroller accessories range .Written by: Dave
"This is by far the best double stroller on the market. Before having my second one 15 months after my first baby, I really did loads of research into double carriages. I couldn't have been luckier. The best thing about this carriage is the width - or rather lack of width! It just gets through ANY doors, I have a silver cross surf as a single carriage - and find that this gets through just as well as that! The buggy pushes well, I must say its heavy with 2 kids sitting in there, and it also has excellent basket space on the bottom! The handle comes up high which I love, since I'm tall, I was worried about the seat being too narrow for my older boy who is quite chubby - however so far no worries! I hope it will be fine in the winter with his big poofer jacket. The hoods aren't the nicest but they come down very low and give full sun protection. The folding isn't tricky - however you literally gotta bend all the way over to the front - I usually leave that up to my husband! Overall, I have the carriage 7 months and I must say I am delighted with it! Definitely worth every penny!"Written by: Blimi
"I'm in love my Duet and with 12 week old twins it's helping keep me sane by getting us out of the house to get around town or for our daily walk with our dog. We regularly get stopped by other twin parents, grandparents and soon-to-be twin parents when my husband or I are out with the girls in it to ask where we got the stroller, and what we think. We love it!!!"Written by: Heather
"I think this is a great double stroller. I have a 9 month old and a 2 and half year old and this stroller works really well for us. The width is great. We live in an old elevator building and it fits easily in our elevator. It handles very well and seems durable. The one complaint is that we have gotten quite a few flat tires, but that can be fixed with the pump. Both of my kids are very comfy in this stroller and the canopies provide very good coverage. We tested a lot of doubles before I got this one and you can't beat the this width."
Note: We listen, we develop, we deliver. After reading feedback from Sara and other duet stroller users, we introduced puncture-proof and low maintenance aerotech wheels to the stroller accessory range.Written by: Sara
"Overall, I am very happy with our purchase. The kids are nice and comfortable in the stroller. It is a very very smooth push. The sun canopies are great. It is a sturdy stroller. And if you want a double side by side that can get through anything, this is it (all of the other side-by-sides did not fit through our apartment door!) The only downsides to this stroller are its weight and its fold. It is a very heavy stroller, so for those of you who are in and out of the car all the time, or don't have space to leave the stroller out in you apartment/house, it is definitely an annoyance to fold and unfold this thing. It is very heavy! Other than that, we have been very pleased."Written by: Miriam
"I have been using the Buggy Duet for almost a year now and so far so good. I live in NYC and its great since it fits through all the doors. I also use the freerider for my third child and my kids love it. My only complaint (and why I gave it 4 stars) is the handlebar material ripped in under a year and is not covered under the warranty."
Note: The award winning Mountain Buggy freerider attaches to the rear axle of the duet to function as a buggy board, and converts to a freewheeling kids scooter.Written by: Ilanit
"I love taking this stroller for walks, it fits my 3 year old and my 10 month old great and it was great when she was a newborn too because the seat lays flat. It fits through doors great and its smooth and easy to push. My only complaint is it's a little heavy and you have to take the back wheels off to fit it in the trunk of my small car, but I'm sure this is the case with most double strollers. Erin"Written by: Erin
"We have 5 month old twins and have been very happy with this stroller. The sun shade is huge, it maneuvers easily with one hand (one finger if you wish!), and I haven't found a doorway it won't fit through. Other double strollers are so huge and awkward, and this one definitely feels more comfortable while still meeting our needs. We can take it anywhere as it folds up neatly and fits easily in our Honda Odyssey. Although it's a bit heavy my wife can lift it into and out of our vehicle (with her newly acquired "mom arms"). The car seat adapters worked great, although in hindsight we may not have bothered getting them as we tended to have the babies lie down in the stroller more often. My only suggestion for improvement is to make it easier to set the brake (a larger area for your foot to set it). I've heard of many who buy muliple strollers looking for the right fit - this one is the only one we will need for a long time."Written by: Crystal

It seems that at least one King is ready to rumble tonight. But let's be honest, the rest of his cohorts ain't what they used to be, are they? What was that year they weren't terrible... '93? Yeah, then. The Oil aren't exactly blinding citizens of the Nation with their brilliance either but what the hell -- it's Friday and just like 10 gamblers playing VLTs, someone has to win tonight.
Gagner – out. He's taken a blow to the head and is going to sit out. Pouliot will take his spot on KidLine 2.0 with Cogliano and the new hotness Rob Schremp. Perhaps the Schrempian One can make Pouliot score again and shock the hell out of both members of the M-A Pouliot fan club.
Speaking of making a zero look like a hero, what is the deal with the LaBarbera being the real deal against the Oil and only the Oil? This goof has a 4-6-1 record this season with a sparkling 1-3-1 in the past six starts. Against the Oil he is a perfect 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA. Buh? Zuh? SNUH? Impossibly the Kings are 4-1-1 in their last six games vs the Oilers and 2-0-2 in the last four in LA.
Uh, what? That don't make no sense. What does make sense is running a few through on a Friday night and watching some hockey.
Right, Elvis Stormtrooper?

That was possibly the best PK I've seen from the Oilers in this season. With the exception of Grebs getting stripped, I thought they executed really well. Especially considering that that line couldn't get off the ice.

So all Pouliot needs is a solid winger to spark his play. Who would have guessed? Certainly his Junior career was no indication of that.

Ah ha! He stops just about every shot possible, but I didn't truly dislike LaBarbara until I just saw his WHL career. Damned Winterhawk! I thought I remembered the name.

What the hell is up with his Salt & Pepper hair? How much has Toth aged since the start of the season?
Good game to blow a 3 goal lead in, cold you imagine if we choked that one? Schremp looks awesome beside Pouliot - maybe pouliot will remain in Edmonton against my wishes.
Damn xmas parties getting in the way of my JL appearances. Keep up the good work fellas - It is even funny to read the day after!

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.6.3, 1.9.5, 2.1
Fix Version/s: STABLE backlog
Component/s: Course
Affected Branches:MOODLE_16_STABLE, MOODLE_19_STABLE, MOODLE_21_STABLE
Currently sorting of students (people in course) is by fullname which I find somewhat awkward as most users prefer to see firstname + lastname; however, most lists from the school (such as school rosters) are sorted by lastname. While it makes sense to me to sort by lastname, I think ideally it is best to give the users (i.e. teachers) the option to sort either by lastname, firstname, or username. This could be implemented either at the site or course level (my preference would be the course level so that each teacher can control how the names are sorted; however, AT Wyatt suggested the site level. As I envision it, the field could be added in with the group mode dropdown boxes in /course/edit.php as group members sorted by: with options of - Firstname, Lastname, Username.
I am requesting this because adding group members to the sections was a tedious process for me and my teachers because the list we had been given from the school was the student's official firstname; however, when I had pulled in the enrollment data I used the student's preferred name which means that what was on the teacher's roster as William Jones was in the group listing of people in course as Billy Jones. It was difficult to find Jones and required visually scanning the whole list. Hence, it would have been really helpful to be able to sort by lastname.
Thanks for your consideration of this improvement and let me know if there is anything I can do to support its introduction into Moodle.
Peace - Anthony

I looked at the code in course/groups.php (revision 1.24) earlier and at least in 1.6.3 the sort is performed on line 211 with:
I can produce the desired behavior by modifying /course/groups.php file
If I comment out line 174 (the original)
// $nonmembers[$student->id] = fullname($student, true);
and insert a modified version of the line:
$nonmembers[$student->id] = $student->lastname.', '.$student->firstname;
I am able to get the behavior that I want. Similarly, if someone want to sort by username they could instead use:
$nonmembers[$student->id] = $student->username.' ('.$student->lastname.', '.$student->firstname.')';
For consistency the same procedure should be applied to the teacher array on line 185
commenting out line 185
// $nonmembers[$teacher->id] = $prefix.fullname($teacher, true);
and replacing it with either (to sort by lastname)
$nonmembers[$teacher->id] = $prefix.$teacher->lastname.', '.$teacher->firstname;
or (to sort by username)
// $nonmembers[$teacher->id] = $prefix.$teacher->username.' ('.$teacher->lastname.', '.$teacher->firstname.')';
It is just a matter of setting up a course variable (for example, $course->groupsortby) and adding some if statements or a case statement to it and then modifying the course edit.php file to include a dropdown box with the options for fullname, lastname, firstname or username.
Just a quick comment on this request.
Unless I'm missing something obvious (highly likely as I've only had a quick think about this) to see a student's username a teacher would need to log in as a student (for each student) to find their username. So would the ability to be able to sort by username be useful in practice?
We use the students school id as their username and have some lists that come sorted by it. It is admittedly not as important as being able to sort by lastname then firstname (which currently can be done if you switch the fullname to be surname+firstname; however, in practice most folks (at least here in the U.S.) prefer firstname+lastname) for display purposes but lastname, firstname for sorting purposes. I think having the ability to choose is the key point of this request. Whether or not username is part of that is not as important - it was just another option that I thought might be useful to some.
This fix does not seem to work with 1.7.1.
I have commented out the equivalent line ie ( // $nonmembers[$contextuser->id] = fullname($contextuser, true)
and altered the suggested code to match the changes:
$nonmembers[$contextuser->id] = $contextuser->firstname.', '.$contextuser->lastname;
Doing this I can alter the order of the display but it STILL sorts by lastname ...
(ps I want to sort by firstname)
Any idea what I am missing?
Matt - I took a quick look at the 1.7 /course/groups.php code and I did not see the previous natcasesort($nonmembers); line that was in 1.6 around 211. I added this in to sort the list after we populate it and I think it will give you the desired functionality that you are looking for.
if ($contextusers = get_role_users($roleid, $context)) {
foreach ($contextusers as $contextuser)
Thank you - works spot on.
I have now got an easy way for teachers to add pupils to their groups.
This is slightly off topic. I want to achieve the same thing in /admin/roles/assign.php but the format seems very different...
-wish i knew more about PHP
Matt - in order to avoid having non-related material on the tracker issue which IMHO only creates unnecessary reading for the developers - let's keep these types of inquires in the forums. Thanks - Anthony
Apologies - thought it was worth thinking about in terms of the additional functionality of sorting by firstname/surname etc in other parts of moodle.
Matt - not a problem, I just know how swamped the developers are and was being a little protective. As 1.8 gets ready for release I am hoping that this bug might get some attention.
I am a little confused about how this is being implemented in 1.8. If I use the link for groups on the course page I am now taken to /group/index.php; however /course/groups.php still exists (without an obvious link to it) and without any interface for groupings. There seems to be an inconsistency here and perhaps the priority of this bug should be raised so that this question about groupings and groups and how the UI is going to be handled in 1.8 can be worked out.
To change the order of the list of members in the group members box I changed line 63 of /group/lib/utillib.php
$fullname = fullname($user, true);
$fullname = $user->lastname.', '.$user->firstname;
this is significantly simpler in 1.8 which makes make think that giving the user a choice would be fairly easy
if{some condition like $sortbyfullname=true}
then $fullname = fullname($user, true);
else $fullname = $user->lastname.', '.$user->firstname;
I'm sure there are 100 better ways to implement this but it should be fairly simple and I could see it giving greater flexibility in terms of how names are sorted and shown.
I have made the code change to make users list by lastname, firstname and was suprised this option was not in version 1.8. I actually like groups less now than in 1.7. 1.7 interface was simple and let you know how many groups a person was in (ie if you already had him.)
I actually think in would be useful to be able to only list users not already in a group so as you add members the list keeps getting smaller to wade through. We are now using Moodle as our K-12 online gradebook and our "Groups" are being used as our course sections, so students are only members of a single group for a particular course. I has hoped to drop the 1.7 code in 1.8 but the structure changed enough that it wasn't possible.
Brian - Keep in mind that the group list used to get smaller as members were added to a group; however, that assumed that members were only in one group. Now members can be in multiple groups. While it may be a little more complex and/or time consuming to set them up the goal is ultimately to make the use of groups more flexible for teachers. Peace - Anthony
According to MoodleDocs: Group FAQ, there's supposed to be a configuration option somewhere that allows you to affect the sort order of groups:
How can I change the sort order of the participants?
The admin can change the "fullnamedisplay" which will affect the sort order of participants.
Have your admin go to:
Administration >> Configuration >> Variables
Then under "User," see "fullnamedisplay."
(Tested using Moodle 1.6.3.)
Tracker #734 also references this variable, and closes the ticket:
I've dug around through 1.9, and can find anything that matches what they're describing. I suspect we lost this functionality in the jump from 1.6x to 1.7x, though if it existed under 1.6x, why was this tracker ticket spawned in the first place?
Can we update this ticket to be a feature request for Moodle 2.0? (or does another ticket out there duplicate this one for 2.0?) With 18 votes, it seems like a pretty popular request.
Kenneth - I think what you are looking for was moved to the Site Administration block -> Security -> Site policies -> Full Name Format. Although I think that casing of the string should probably be changed to Full name format to be consistent. Let me know if that is now what you are looking for. Peace - Anthony
That did the trick for me. Thanks (and sorry about not closing the loop back in December).
Ken - Thanks for the follow up. It has been a while since I have looked at this issue. From what I was reading it sounds like this issue may be able to be closed as fixed. I would want to give it a closer look but do not have time at the moment so I figured I would try to get folks opinion about whether more needs to be done with this. Hopefully those who have voted and are watching this issue will have some thoughts. If you can you may want to raise the question in the forums. Thanks for your help in looking at this issue. Peace - Anthony
Seems like this sorting issue is still happening in the latest 1.9.5+ codes (as of 10/16/2009)?
Wen - I want to focus the intent of this particular tracker issue. It is focused on the sorting of potential group members when assigning them to a group. Currently, it is sorted by lastname only which is the behavior you are finding problematic. This can easily be fixed by changing /group/lib.php around line 398 to:
function groups_get_users_not_in_group_by_role($courseid, $groupid, $searchtext='', $sort = 'u.lastname ASC, u.firstname ASC') {
I think we need to decide, and perhaps you can encourage some discussion on this as to the behavior desired for sorting. I had initially created the issue because I wanted to display the student name as firstname lastname; however, I wanted an option to sort them by lastname firstname or possibly even username. When I created the issue username was more important to me than it is now. So I think we have a number of possible areas for improvement here.
1) simply add firstname to the sort list so that we get an accurate sorting (step 1)
2) have the sort order follow whatever is set by $CFG->fullnamedisplay (keeping in mind that there are four options and that if the firstname display name is chosen that we may want to sort by firstname lastname - I have mixed feelings about how to deal with the question of firstname only and would need to explore further what happens when using the language locale order). Currently, the sort is always lastname and this should probably be flexible.
3) Even with some flexibility by using $CFG->fullnamedisplay, I think that it would be helpful to have a separte variable for a default sorting order. Perhaps something like $CFG->usersortdefault which could be set to be fullname, lastname/firstname, firstname/lastname, user id, idnumber, etc. Then names could be displayed one way and sorted another and this would be configurable by the site admin.
Let me know if this plan of attack makes sense and then we can move on to role assignments and other places were the sort order is not ideal. Peace - Anthony
Martin - Given the number of votes on this and the relative ease of which at least step one could be taken, it might be good to get this in 1.9.6. Just say the word and I will happily add the firstname to the sort order so that it is lastname ASC, firstname ASC Peace - Anthony
Here is a patch file that implements what I referred to as step 2 which would use the $CFG->fullnamedisplay value to determine how the names are sorted. If displayed lastname, firstname then that is how they will be sorted. Peace - Anthony
The logic looks good, however, doing it inside the function like that means that the parameter is now completely ignored.
I would set the default $sort value for the parameter to "", and then only run your new logic if empty($sort).
Finally, if $CFG->fullnamedisplay was something other than (lastname firstname) or (lastname firstname) then I would explicitly set $sort = 'u.lastname ASC, u.firstname ASC' at that point.
That could squeeze into 1.9.6
Cheers and thanks!
MD - thanks for the catch on overriding $sort. Here is a revised patch setting default $sort to '' and checking if empty before beginning.
$CFG->fullnamedisplay can have four possible (valid) values:
firstname lastname
lastname firstname
The fullnamedisplay language string should be either:
firstname lastname
lastname firstname
I opted to make firstname ASC, lastname ASC the default to avoid some additional checks and thus lumping firstname lastname and firstname together. Then we only need to check if it is lastname. The down side to this is that if someone were to put in a bogus string then the function will default to firstname ASC, lastname ASC but that seems relatively trivial.
I was not 100% clear on your last comment about "if $CFG->fullnamedisplay was something other than" but I think we have all the cases reasonably covered.
Peace - Anthony
Testing revealed that I had not paid attention to how the language string is setup:
$string['fullnamedisplay'] = '$a->firstname $a->lastname';
so here is a revised patch that follows the logic used in /admin/user.php although I will admit it seems unnecessarily complex but perhaps there was some hope the string could be used in different ways but we can save evaluating that one for another day.
Peace - Anthony
Busy! The last thing was just for this case: If $sort starts out empty and $CFG->fullnamedisplay is empty then $sort needs to get a value.
Something like:
if (empty($sort)) { // Determine a default from system settings
$sort = 'u.firstname ASC, u.lastname ASC';
if (!empty($CFG->fullnamedisplay) ) {
if ($CFG->fullnamedisplay == 'lastname firstname') {
$sort = 'u.lastname ASC, u.firstname ASC';
} else if ($CFG->fullnamedisplay == 'language') {
$override = new object();
$override->firstname = 'firstname';
$override->lastname = 'lastname';
$fullnamelanguage = get_string('fullnamedisplay', '', $override);
if ($fullnamelanguage == 'lastname firstname' ) {
$sort = 'u.lastname ASC, u.firstname ASC';
My only slight worry is: will this make sense in 1.9.6?
a) It flips the current default sort in some cases.
b) Does it make sense to everyone to always sort by the first word first? (Just asking)
OK Regis, this is my final answer
If $sort and $CFG->fullnamedisplay are both empty then the default is lastname firstname; however, I fear this would be a challenging state to get in as someone would have to work at this by either deleting the value in the config database or setting it to blank in config.
a) It flips the current default sort in some cases.
Since the default fullnamedisplay (from Security->Site policies) is 'firstname lastname' the new default behavior would be to sort by firstname lastname which represents a change in 1.9 behavior. I would still consider it an improvement because with the patch the site admin has the option to control the desired behavior. As the code is now, the list is always sorted 'lastname firstname' unless specified by the code (with $sort) and thus effectively ignores the fullnamedisplay setting. My argument for including the patch in 1.9.6 is that this is the behavior specific in the documentation (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Groups_FAQ#How_can_I_change_the_sort_order_of_the_participants.3F) which I assume is what folks expect to happen. That said, I do not like to see the behavior changed in a stable release. What we may want to do is simply leave the patch here for those who want it for 1.9, apply the patch to HEAD, and update Moodle Docs such that for 1.9 there is a reference to the patch and an explanation about the change of (improved) behavior in 2.0.
b) Does it make sense to everyone to always sort by the first word first? (Just asking)
Good question as that is essentially what initially prompted me to create the issue. I wanted the users sorted by lastname firstname but displayed firstname lastname. This would require a second variable like fullnamesort. In the process of looking at things, I noticed the difference in what was in Moodle Docs and what was actually happening.
Let me know if you want a patch (2.0 and/or 1.9) for what I described above (comment dated 17/Oct/09 09:41 AM) as the third step toward improvement. This brings us back to the first step which may want to do for 1.9.6 is simply to add 'firstname ASC' to the default $sort so that it sorts first on lastname and secondarily on firstname displaying (but not sorting) as determined by $CFG->fullnamedisplay.
Peace - Anthony
The option for this type of sorting behavior would be terrific!
I'm having a little trouble following the discussion- Would this patch allow lastname, firstname sorting on sitewide, or just the groups module? That behavior would be great to have all over, especially in the asignment module during grading, so faculty who have class lists in that format can easily assign grades to thier students in order. If this is just groups module specific, I'll open up a second ticket for the assignmnet module.
Michael - This issue is focused on setting up groups. It's been too long since I've looked at this, but Martin raises a good question about always sorting on the first word. Go ahead and check if a ticket exists for assignment but it is good to have separate tickets for separate issues. Peace - Anthony
Since the username is considered more private, I am removing that from the description of this issue. The patch focuses on only lastname/firstname. Peace - Anthony
Absolutely! Usernames shouldn't be exposed apart from in the profile and appropriate system user management tools.
Also, if one thinks about it. I don't know another user's username. How would this search option have been useful for me?
I think this has been done in Moodle 2.0+. Can anyone verify and then close this issue?
Tim - I looked at 2.2 (http://qa.moodle.net/group/index.php?id=8) and it seems like there is no functionality to sort users although they can be searched for. If I recall, it allowed the search to be AJAXy so that it would not require a page refresh to load the users. Perhaps we could use search options to add an optional search ordering but I suspect that it is using the default based on how the full name is (lastname, firstname or firstname lastname). Peace - Anthony
Here's a screenshot of the group select from within a course. Perhaps we could use the search options to provide an option for searching. Peace - Anthony

Spoiler!HA HA XD, The Juubi just flicked it away, I must admit, I'm impressed. Now let's see the true fight begin
So So
Spoiler!HA HA XD, The Juubi just flicked it away, I must admit, I'm impressed. Now let's see the true fight begin
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
am i the only one that cant stop smiling?
Wow, the scale just keeps getting higher and higher in this battle! I figured the Juubi wouldn't be defeated with brute force, but I was hoping it'd counter Bee's attack with something more exciting than a simple flick of its finger. Likewise, I hoped that Kakashi + Naruto's clone were there for more than just reminding Obito of how he used to be.
It's absolutely absurd that the combo of Obito + Madara + the Juubi was caught by Ino, of all people! I guess this really proves Itachi's point that no one can handle everything, and one's teammates are there to make up for one's own inadequacies.
I'm going to bet that Naruto's "Kazekiri no Jutsu" is not a jutsu at all, but rather a flashy "talk-no-jutsu" to emphasize everyone in the Shinobi Alliance uniting. The theme is how their hope (Naruto's Jutsu) is greater than the dream reality (Madara/Obito's Jutsu). The point of showing the technique is to lead Obito back to the right path.
Of course, I could be wrong... Naruto's actions also hinted that he has a real jutsu in store, since he said, "... can't be helped" and didn't move to avoid the Juubi's attack. Nonetheless, I can't imagine what he'd have in store, considering he's out of chakra. But, if I'm wrong about the metaphorical nature of the Kazekiri jutsu, and it really is something amazing, props to Naruto for having another original (non-Rasengan!) technique. It seems to be related to the Kagebunshin; perhaps it's Naruto's way of taking the Kagebunshin a step further (with his wind element)?
I have no idea how the Shinobi Alliance intend to stay alive in this battle, with Bijuudama flying everywhere. In all likelihood, the main fight is over; none of them could even stand up to Madara's meteor or Obito's Gedo Mazou, and those powers pale in comparison to what they're up against now.
Sasuke next week!

Friendship no jutsu flashback Naruto is kind of like me has begun!!!
- Finally everyone showed up !!!
- I'm not sure of the translation at the end there...trying to hide? a super jutsu.....what?
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Lol Ino pwned Obito with her jutsu? Gahahaha fail. Frankly though right now im just interested in what sasuke n oro are doing...
an enjoyable chapter indeed. As expected the juubi is a 'take no shit from any muthafucka' type o' beast, and was able to repel a full strength bijuu dama from point blank range. I hope that Kishi-san is laying the foundations for Naruto to turn Obito's head, such could be the significance of Obito's acknowledgement of Naruto's similarity to him as a kid before he was Madara-fied.
Finally Naruto and pals have back up but I hope that for them to buy time for the 8 & 9 tails to recharge wont simply mean that they simply get annihilated leaving just a handful of main characters standing. Sure there will be casualties but I'd like to see them have some sort of impact so that their sacrifice isn't in vain. But I can totally see Kishi switching to Sasuke and pals for a little while and then cross back to Naruto and the gang to give us a scope of how bad the body count is after a round or two of fighting.

Skip to comments.Gingrich pounds IRS: Administration wont profile terrorists, but profiles patriots
Posted on 05/13/2013 1:20:13 PM PDT by LucianOfSamasota
Former House Speaker and presidential candidate Newt Gingrich made two points Monday on Morning Joe that Americans should hear and heed.
Referring to the still developing IRS scandal involving its targeting of tea party-like, conservative political groups, Gingrich asked, How can you put Obamacare under the Internal Revenue Service?
Gingrich said President Obama has a huge problem because Obamacare relies very heavily on the IRS.
Although not in the segment of the video below, Politico reported Gingrich also said during the interview:
Why would you trust the bureaucracy with your health if you cant trust the bureaucracy with your politics? There are bureaucrats in the IRS who are capable of ruining your life while lying about it.
Gingrich then sharply reminded viewers:
Remember, this is an administration which will not profile terrorists, but profile patriots? Profile constitutional groups? I mean, this is almost madness.
It is madness, Newt.

He is so good at times. Sadly, he has so many gunshots in his feet, that he needs to wear snow-shoes to get around.
I think the issue here is one of definition.
What you and I would call a "patriot" bears scant resemblance to what Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and Hillary Clinton think of when they hear the word.
I really wish Newt could get back into an elected office again. I don't think the GOP -e could stop him this time.
ps, I was proud to vote for Newt in the primary.
Makr Levin: Newt can be so good, but he can also be so bad...
Preach it, Newt! And stomp on the rino's/liberals who hated conservatives/conservatism and start with Romney and all his ilk! Do it for OUR country.
That statement has to go viral - it's perfect!
Really? Does romney, rove, etc have many gunshots in their feet? And if you can't see them, why not? Media does do it's job - they can make what is a pinhole, huge and what is huge, a pinhole. Next you will be saying Sarah has many gunshots in her feet.
Conservatives/conservatism have been used as target practice - it's no wonder you see 'many gunshots'.
I've never heard a Constitutional scholar make a better presentation than Newt has at times. And then he'll go out and uncork a sound-byte that goes against everything he has presented. It's really sad.
Levin has it right.
I mean, this is almost madness.
This is EVIL, BO's is a pawn of satan. It would be madness if anyone turns a blind eye towards it.
He's right.
Would that it had been Newt rather than Mittens, he might have lost but he would have made a fight of it! I hope Newt does go back into Washington!
I've been looking for another tagline!
When Newt is good... he is great and when he is bad... he is horrible... and his horrible side wins out about 65% of the time. So no.
Newt is up from his nap ?
While Romney, Rove, and it's ilk. are IN BED with her. But be careful who you sit next to in the 'pew'.
Wow! Now's that's freak'n big of you! Hope you find someone who has the credentials Sarah has. Nice hunting, chump because she won't be your president and don't run yourself either - there are enough idiots in gov't.
Newt's another used car salesman.
Remember, this is an administration which will not profile terrorists, but profile patriots? Profile constitutional groups? I mean, this is almost madness.
Well, Newt's a hundred percent right on this issue. You know it too...
he is, but he bats a 50/50, depending on how is wet finger feels the wind.
remember the climate change?
Can almost hear the Chi/mobsters in the WH plotting on which conservative groups they'll take down next.
"Get it up Obomba-—I mean your enemies list. We need to see it NOW."
That statement has to go viral - its perfect!
Needed to be said again.
He is so right! You know how many Americans have had their identity/SSN stolen by illegals because the IRS fails to do anything about it.
He's not selling clunkers, he's selling Ferrari's.
The GOP's designated broken clock—right twice a day and expecting praise for his obvious observations. Would be a great candidate for Captain Obvious, Understater Extratrodinaire.
I don't think the AP's going to keep giving Obama's people automatic passes... The head of AP used the term 'Constitutional rights'... and as we all know that's 'enemies list' stuff...
"I mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it ANYMORE!!!"
(knock at the door)
"Good morning Mr. Stevie-D...I'm special agent Kick'd in the Cajones, with the IRS, and we'd like to ask ewe a few questions..."
Stay tuned for the next scene...
It'll be just like an episode of "24"...
