Voters in many Northeast Mississippi municipalities will cast votes in party primaries today, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Others where all candidates run as independents will have to wait until the general election June 4.
In some cities and towns, the new slate of officials will be determined solely by the primaries since everyone in certain races is running as either a Democrat or Republican and there are no independent or third party candidates.
But in others, Democratic and Republican nominees selected in today's primaries and any runoffs May 21 will run against each other, as well as any independent or third party candidates, in the general election.
Tupelo is a mixed bag. All council candidates will be selected in the party primaries since all races include just one party and there are no independent or third party candidates. But neither candidate for mayor, Republican Fred Pitts and Democrat Jason Shelton, has an opponent in his own party. Both will automatically move to a June 4 general election showdown without opposition and be the only competitive Tupelo race on that ballot.
Today in Tupelo, the City Council primary races are all in Republican primaries, except Ward 4, where the candidates are competing as Democrats. The races include:
• Ward 1 – Daniel Owens vs. incumbent Markel Whittington.
• Ward 2 – Lynn Bryan vs. Tom Carr for an open seat vacated by mayoral candidate Pitts.
• Ward 3 – Liz Dawson vs. incumbent Jim Newell.
• Ward 4 – Mark Hardin and James Matkin vs. incumbent Nettie Davis in the only Democratic primary race.
• Ward 5 – Buddy Palmer vs. incumbent Jonny Davis.
• Ward 6 – Tom Hewitt, Wayne Chrestman, James "Mickey" Jenkins against incumbent Mike Bryan.
Ward 7 incumbent Willie Jennings is unopposed.
Lee County municipalities with primary elections today include Saltillo, Shannon, Baldwyn and Nettleton. (See Page 10A for a list of candidates and polling places in these.)
Other Northeast Mississippi communities holding primaries today are Amory, Baldwyn, Booneville, Bruce, Ecru, Farmington, Fulton, Holly Springs, Houston, Mantachie, New Albany, Okolona, Oxford, Pontotoc, Ripley, Starkville and West Point.

^ "Resentment", indeed.
I'm not really sure if killing the whole clan is a wise choice, I mean that little witch did make the potion that woke up Mephistopheles more quickly, so he could at least leave her alive...
^ "Resentment", indeed.
I'm not really sure if killing the whole clan is a wise choice, I mean that little witch did make the potion that woke up Mephistopheles more quickly, so he could at least leave her alive...
You forget that Mephistopheles, after all, Is an Arch-devil. He isn't necessarily a Nice Guy. Once he enters a frenzied mode he won't stop easily. That's why Arch Angel Micael is speeding to stop Mephistopheles' flames from spreading further.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
yeah, wonder what happened to that other demon dude, wasnt he going to fight mephisto to the death or something?
That Demon will probably join the gang eventually, since what he seeks is not "power", but "trust" and the only way to gain that "trust" among demons, so that they won't back-fuck*ng-stabb-you, is to complete the pilgrimage (which consists of facing and surviving against the highest ranking (arch)devils and (arch)angels).
Just finished catching up to the latest chapter, good read this manga. I think that lil witch is going to join them after this. I don't like how Faust and Sihoon (if I said his name right) are far weaker than Mephisto. Want Sihoon to kick some ass with that third hand attack. Mephisto used Zoro's move Asura!
About the Arch Devil Mephistopheles beiing that much more powerful, I think this story revolves around Faust's Intellect (brains) far more than any thing else, while Shihoon is the growing muscle, but the Archdevil and Arch Angels were created to be Nearly Indestructible by God himself, so It stands to reason they'll be that much superior in strength.
Some thing to look out for is Mephisto's Mentor who is lurking in the background. Also the Demons aren't stupid, they stand a chance of getting their way as long as they don't directly confront Mephisto or Michael.
Finally, remember that the whole theme of the Manwa is that Faust is going to try and rehabilitate Mephistophelles. That is going to be an interesting undertaking, even if Faust is the smartest guy in the universe.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I mean yeah I understand that the Archdevils and archangels are far superior in strength but I think Sihoon's growth could be a lot faster than this. He only knows 1 technique so far, then again he's only 15 years old.
And yeah got to agree with this story flowing around Faust who knows a lot.
I think their parents got taken by "He" the strongest being in the underworld opposite of God. Or unless they were referring to another Archdevil then I don't know if he's the strongest.
Well, those with the title of "God Cleanser" are pretty much next to God, quite likely even capable of God-slaying. Micheal's specialization, as "the one that cleanses God and subdues the Devil" probably gave him an upper hand when he was fighting the former "God's right hand".
Now I have to wonder who will appear as "God's left hand". Usually it's Gabriel, but he should be on earth hunting down aberrations and other things that shouldn't exist and the like, what's more he should be in a human form... wait a minute, could this be, nah can't be, but if it is then Shihoin might be the second Van Hellsing then :O. Now this would explain why Mephisto is interested in fighting him in the future when he grows up a bit.

Virgin Blue Holdings Limited (ASX:VBA) Update on FY11 Outlook23/03/2011
Virgin Blue Holdings Limited (VBA) advised the market at its Half Year Results on 23 February that it expected the second half of the 2011 financial year to be challenging.
At the time, global fuel prices were at their highest since 2008 and over the past six weeks they have risen even further, adding an extra $50 million to the Company's fuel costs for the second half of the financial year. The Christchurch earthquake in late February is also expected to have a $15 million impact. In addition the Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi had a combined impact of approximately $50 million.
While VBA has initiated an action plan which identifies cost savings and revenue initiatives, including fuel surcharges and capacity reductions, this will only partially offset the impact of these events on FY11 profit.
Consequently VBA now estimates its full year profit before tax (excluding hedging ineffectiveness) to be within the range of -$30 million to -$80 million. This assumes no further significant increase in fuel prices and no material deterioration in the trading environment.
For the remainder of the current financial year the Company has fully hedged the underlying exposure to oil at a worst case rate of USD101.28 and has hedged 50% on the refining margin. We are in the process of increasing our cover for FY12 from 12% to 50%.
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, John Borghetti said: "We have witnessed an unprecedented number of significant events in an extraordinarily short period of time, including natural disasters and a sharp spike in fuel prices. These events have severely impacted consumer confidence, resulting in a slower than usual recovery in tourism."
"These market conditions have further validated our Game Change Strategy which will see us less dependent on the leisure sector and reduce the volatility in our business. We are more confident than ever that our strategy is the right one."

About bloodsimple
New York City metalcore band Bloodsimple were formed from the ashes of influential hardcore/thrash metal act Vision of Disorder. After VoD's 2001 album, From Bliss to Devastation, received a lukewarm response from fans and critics, the group went on hiatus, and in 2002 the bandmembers announced their breakup. By this time, lead singer Tim Williams and guitarist Mike Kennedy had already begun working on material for a new project; originally called Fix 8, the group started life as a side project, but with the breakup of VoD and the arrival of guitarist Nick Rowe, Bloodsimple took on a life of their own. After the addition of bassist Kyle Sanders (ex-Medication and Skrew) and drummer Chris Hamilton (formerly with Downset, Crowbar, and Deadbolt), the members of Bloodsimple began writing songs and recording demos, and they attracted the attention of Chad Gray of the band Mudvayne, who signed the group to his label, Bullygoat Records (which is distributed by Warner Bros./Reprise). Bloodsimple's first album, A Cruel World, was released in the spring of 2005, and the band hit the road, sharing stages with the likes of Superjoint Ritual, American Head Charge, Soulfly, Six Feet Under, and Stone Sour. In 2007 the band was part of the popular heavy metal package show The Family Value Tour, and in the fall of that year the group released its second full-length album. Entitled Red Harvest, the album was Bloodsimple's first recording with drummer Will Hunt, who was one of several drummers recruited by Bloodsimple to handle percussion chores after Chris Hamilton left the group. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Academic Paper
|Code-crossing and multilingualism among adolescents in Lille
|Linguistic Field:
|Discourse Analysis; Sociolinguistics
|Subject Language:
Arabic, Moroccan
Arabic, Algerian Saharan
|In this study we investigate code-crossing and multilingualism among 13–14 year olds in three schools (five classes) in the northern French city of Lille, based on data elicited during one-to-one interviews as part of a broader study of adolescent language in the city. With regard to code-crossing the study focuses on the indicative evidence of acquisition of (dialectal) Arabic by adolescents of European or Metropolitan French family background, gleaned from a series of language tests. The results suggest that for subjects of Metropolitan French background, interethnic friendships, bolstered by playful use of the language of the Other, are the single most important factor in non-institutional acquisition of Dialectal Arabic. These findings receive a degree of confirmation from the professed familiarity with a variety of Rom in one class group. Cross-ethnic language acquisition does not, however, appear to correlate in any significant way with factors that may be said to frame the socio-cultural space (such as tastes in music and style of dress) in which these teenage informants were moving at the time of the fieldwork. With regard to multilingualism subjects were found to have had exposure to a variety of European and one West-African language (Wolof). On the evidence of the language tests, the largest ethnically defined minority group, the Maghrebians manifested a range of competence in Arabic, with apparently significant differences between subjects of Algerian and Moroccan extraction.

What About Ralph Wilson's Legacy?
by Howard Simon
posted Sep 6 2012 12:00AM
I've been thinking a lot about Ralph Wilson and the future existence of the Bills in Western New York lately. The latest story to make me wonder how much longer the Bills will be around was the passing of former Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell.
When the news broke about Wilson being hospitalized before the Bills pre-season game in Detroit, who didn't think about what will happen when he's gone? I thought about that when Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis passed away and before that, when Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt passed away.
There's one big difference. A plan was in place for those franchises to stay in the family's hands and for one of the owner's offspring to take control. Same thing in Cleveland where, upon the death of Al Lerner, his son Randy took over. Although the Browns were recently sold, the team is staying in Cleveland.
Whenever I see a story about the lease talks I immediately wonder how strong the lease will be in the event the next owner wants to move the team. Perhaps your first thought is about penalty clauses so we get our taxpayer investments back if the stadium isn't used by the future Bills teams.
I wouldn't be doing all of this if there was a succession plan in place or some kind of agreement regarding the sale of the team to local ownership which would ensure the franchise remains in place.
This takes me back to the Modell story because the day has been filled with tributes to the man, with veteran NFL reporter John Clayton from ESPN saying Modell is on the "Mt. Rushmore of owners."
Yet all I can think of when it comes to Art Modell is he's the guy who moved the Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore. Right or wrong, one negative move can trump a multitude of positives in someone's life.
Think about the Joe Paterno story. Now I'm not trying to say moving a football team is anywhere near the atrocities that took place under Paterno's watch but it's the idea of the impact on one's legacy and how quickly it can be altered after years of great accomplishments.
I feel the same way about Ralph Wilson, who as opposed to Modell, is already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for many contributions over his time in the NFL.
Wilson's legacy is TBD(to be determined). In my opinion it will rest solely on what happens to the franchise after his demise. No longer is it enough to say his legacy is cemented because he didn't move the Bills during his lifetime. His decisions during that lifetime will determine the future home of the team.
It would appear the time has never been better to strike a deal(assuming something hasn't been completed behind the scenes and amazingly been kept a secret) with an individual or group of owners who will pledge their loyalty to WNY.
Despite our small market and the Bills lack of success on the field since the 1990's, the value of the franchise continues to increase thanks to the "everything it touches turns to gold NFL."
Forbes values the Bills franchise at $805 million which is 29
in the league. We don't know for sure but I'm going to bet the Bills are a profitable venture on a regular basis despite the recent drop in ticket sales and relatively low ticket prices. They are likely not among the bottom third teams when it comes to generating revenue.
Regionalization has been a success. Say what you want about the Toronto deal, it brought in another important revenue stream for the franchise making it more profitable. Despite the scores of empty seats at the Rogers Center(my apologies to our friends in Canada, I cant put the r before the e) the deal has been extended.
The Bills completed an extension of their training camp deal with St. John Fisher because Rochester has been a big boost in sales of tickets, club seats and the all important luxury boxes.
It appears progress is being made on the lease deal with Erie County and New York State and there could be some $225 million going into renovations at Ralph Wilson Stadium to extend the life of the facility another 15 years or longer.
We know Jim Kelly has publicly stated that he has a "money guy" who can buy the Bills and the Hall of Fame QB would gladly talk to the owner about buying the team but Wilson wants no part of it.
Of the potential stumbling blocks to keeping the Bills in WNY, I have been told finding new owners with the financial wherewithal to make it work is NOT a problem.
Ralph Wilson brought the National Football League to Buffalo and has indeed kept it here. Of course it isn't like he received nothing for his commitment. He's been very loyal to the NFL, at times making decisions that were best for the league and not necessarily best for his own interests. Back in the 1960's he personally helped keep the fledgling American Football League afloat and helped with its eventual merger into the NFL.
Its an impressive resume and as stated earlier, it led to his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. By the way, if Modell was so beloved, how come he was never elected into the Hall of Fame? Because his legacy was forever changed when he moved the Browns from Cleveland to Baltimore. The Bills apparently will remain in Buffalo as long as Ralph Wilson is alive but his legacy will rise or fall based on what happens to the franchise when the second owner in Bills history takes over.

The station assigned Bureau Chief Photojournalist Terry Griffin to the task. Due to the logistics involved, instead of bringing the usual HMI-based lighting kit, Griffin packed the Zylight F8 LED Fresnel, which collapses to less than four inches for easy transport and storage. Using lights that are half the weight of what he previously used proved to be very helpful during the Central American trip. "Traveling 4,000 miles [while] hauling gear can be both cumbersome and expensive," Griffin explains. "A 9-pound light in my suitcase versus a 20-pound light in an additional checked bag saved excess baggage to keep track of or lose, plus weight and fees."
Once on location at the canal, Griffin was faced with a lack of AC power outlets. With standard HMI lights, which only run on AC power, this situation would have been a serious problem. "There was zero AC power available to us on the massive canal construction zone for our interview," says Griffin. "Using my 90-watt Anton/Bauer camera battery to power the F8 at 100 percent gave me an hour and six minutes of beautiful 5600K light. Having to only take one battery-type charger for both the light and camera was a huge bonus." Shooting in Panama's harsh equatorial sunlight also presented challenges, but Griffith says the F8 provided him with the perfect fill light for that setting. And because LED technology generates so little heat, breaking down the F8 at the end of a shoot was a much quicker process, as there was no wait for the light to cool down.
Available in daylight (5600K) or tungsten (3200K), the Zylight F8 LED maintains a single-shadow traditional Fresnel
beam shaping through an eight-inch SCHOTT glass lens, and incorporates a proprietary focusing system for spot and flood operations. With a CRI (color rendering index) of up to 97 or better, the fully dimmable F8 offers an adjustable beam spread (of 16–70 degrees) for even coverage for widescreen productions. Its LED engine with quantum dot technology draws only 95 watts, but has close to the light output of a traditional 1,000-watt Fresnel. "[With] zero heat [and] zero cables, the F8 solved my lighting dilemma with added bonuses," says Griffin. "It's a great tool in the ENG/EFP kit for any TV photojournalist."

Lighting Panama with Zylight's F8 LED Fresnel'sWritten by Gordon Meyer
KIRO-TV, the Cox Media Group-owned CBS affiliate for Seattle-Tacoma, recently sent a news team to the Panama Canal to talk with local shipping industry professionals about the multibillion-dollar expansion of the waterway. The construction, which is due to be completed sometime in 2015, is designed to enable larger ships to go through the canal and potentially bypass Seattle and other West Coast ports.

I'm testing the new MAMP 2.0.1 which is needed to use Moodle4Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.
While updating Moodle 2.2dev (20110713) to Moodle 2.2dev (20110719) the upgrade stopped on http://localhost:8888/moodle22/admin/upgradesettings.php
I tried a fresh installation of Moodle 2.2dev (20110713) and the update to Moodle 2.2dev (20110719) .. the same problem.
Also a fresh installation with Moodle 2.2dev (20110719) does not work. It stopped while saving the admin profile. "Incorrect sesskey submitted, form not accepted!"
I also use installaions with XAMPP and do not have problems ... but XAMPP is really old. I don't know if it will work with OS X Lion. Therefore I am testing the new MAMP

Works fine on Lion for me (using default apache + php and binary install from postgresql.org).
Hi Petr,
the installation of the weekly snapshot (20110713) from last week worked fine ... the installation of the package from the current week (20110719) failed.
Sorry, I want to build the Moodle4Mac package so I need to use MAMP or XAMPP. XAMPP is rather old and I do not know if it would work with Lion. So I want to use the new MAMP 2.0.1 for Moodle4Mac.
What could be the reason for the fact that Moodle 2.2dev (20110713) works fine but not Moodle 2.2dev (20110719)?
Should be something else then Moodle because it works for me in Lion and Snow Leopard.
I'm no expert on MAMP. Have you tried to replicate this on another machine?
I installed MAMP 2.0.1 on another machine. MAMP works fine and I installed Moodle 2.2 (20110713) ... yes, this version (20110713) works for me. I updated up to Moodle 2.2 (20110726). The update started and stopped on page http://localhost:8888/moodle22/admin/upgradesettings.php ... clicking on the save button did not work.
I went back to http://localhost:8888/moodle22/ and tried some settings but nothing works ... no switching of the language, no changing mail address in my personal profile. I tried to see the page http://localhost:8888/moodle22/admin/index.php but Moodle switched back to http://localhost:8888/moodle22/admin/upgradesettings.php
I turned on the debugging directly in the database mdl_config (debug=6143 and debugdisplay=1). No debug errors were shown.
Where is the problem with Moodle 2.2 and MAMP 2.0.1 ... Moodle 2.1 works without a problem.
please try to add debug enabling to your config.php:
@ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$CFG->debug = 38911;
$CFG->debugdisplay = true;
I can't login anymore ... I will try the update again tomorrow and I will set your additions to the config.php.
Hi Petr,
I found the same problem with MAMP 1.9.5. Moodle4Mac based on MAMP 1.9.5 seems to work fine with Moodle 2.2dev (20110713). I patched the config.php as you show in your tracker message on 27/Jul/11 12:32 AM.
Now I try to update Moodle 2.2.dev from 20110713 to 20110803 via CVS.
The Update script works fine and loads all the new files into htdocs/moodle22
I login as the admin user of Moodle4Mac (admin/12345).
Moodle starts the update process.
The server checks do not show any problem.
4 updates for plugins should be done ... choice, scorm, external database, basic report and everything runs successfully. I should set some upgrade settings ... yes, I save the defaults.
I do not get any problem or error message but I can't logout anymore.
I try to update the admnin account data and get an error: Incorrect sesskey submitted, form not accepted!
I can't get any answer for my problem. The MAMP logs do not show any problem and MAMP 1.9.5 runs fine with Moodle 1.9.13+, 2.0.4+, 2.1.1+, and 2.2dev (20110713)
I found the problem with Moodle 2.2dev (20110719) and all following versions.
Please tell what I should test now.
I will do another test.
I take a working Moodle4Mac 2.1.1+ (20110806) and try to update to 2.2dev (20110806).
To see the debugging messages I add the settings to the config.php
@ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$CFG->debug = 38911;
$CFG->debugdisplay = true;
Then I upgrade the moodle files from 2.1.1 to 2.2dev via cvs
cvs -q update -dP -r HEAD
Moodle shows that it is upgrading Moodle database from version 2.1.1+ (Build: 20110803) (2011070101.01) to 2.2dev (Build: 20110803) (2011080300)
I runs all scripts without any debug message but it stops when saving the default upgradesettings.
Yes, the folder moodle21 is correct because we are upgrading a working Moodle 2.1.1
Sorry ... the upgrade to Moodle 2.2 does not work with MAMP 1.9.5
I decided to do another test with a fresh installation of Moodle 2.2dev and MAMP 1.9.5.
I created a mysql database "moodle22", a folder "Applications/MAMP/data/moodle22", and got a fresh copy of Moodle 2.2 from download.moodle.org ... I get the same result as in the start message of
MDL-28412 ... I can't save the admin user account. When I copy the debug settings into the config.php I see the following stack trace message.
Incorrect sesskey submitted, form not accepted!
More information about this error
Stack trace:

line 125 of /user/editadvanced.php: call to moodleform->moodleform()
I am sorry I can not help you, I do not know anything about MAMP or Moodle4Mac. I am 100% sure Moodle works on OS X Lion and Snow Leopard when using ports for everything, binary mysql/postgresql work fine too, in Lion it works also when using built in apache and PHP.
If I find some time I will install a fresh new Lion instance in VM and try the MAMP for the first time...
It's not a problem of Mac OS X Lion.
I'm still using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my iMac. I thought about changing from MAMP 1.9.5 to MAMP 2.0.1 because they write on their web site that MAMP 2.0.1 works with OS X Lion ... can't say if MAMP 1.9.5 will work.
A few days ago I found the same installation problem with MAMP 1.9.5 ... I can't install or update Moodle 2.2dev (20110803) with MAMP.
Did you try it on any other computer?
I am going to use only Lion because it finally legally allows me to run virtualised copies.
wow! I think I found it, the iconv seems to be completely borked in MAMP, there is no way Moodle could work on that.
I am going to add a sanity check to the admin/index.php to detect this and prevent installation and upgrades.
I installed Moodle4Mac 2.2 (20110806) back to MAMP 1.9.4 ... this version should work.
This is a tricky issue, pretty much all PHP software is affected by this very nasty MAMP bug. Next week we should probably back port this to stable branches.
I am going to create a separate issue for this.
Thanks for the report.
Hi Petr,
I switched back Moodle4Mac to MAMP 1.9.4 with PHP 5.3.2 and a working iconv. I noticed the problem three weeks ago when I tried to get Moodle4Mac up to the new MAMP 2.0.1. Yes, it should be a blocker for MAMP 2.0.1 and for their commertial MAMP Pro 2.0.1.
Thank you very much for your detective work and your patience!
Best regards,
I wrote an error message for MAMP
Hi Ralf, I don't know if you remember, but we had another issue related to iconv a year ago and Julian suggested a way to fix it: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-21501?focusedCommentId=81381&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-81381
Maybe it's not related to this issue but I just post comment if ever it is

The latest campaign for QS by S. Oliver might have just single-handedly seduced us into fall, officially snapping us out of our summer mode. Who would of thought the day would come? All we have to say is that if fall promises to be a denim fest as cool, hip, young, and simply rockin' as this campaign looks we're totally down! Our favorite piece? Where do we start? From double denim looks to full on denim jumpsuits (paired with amazing roller skates), it's tough to choose! See for yourself bellow!

Canada Wins Pool B with Victory Over Puerto RicoColorado Springs, Colorado, USA (Aug. 29, 2012) – Canada won Pool B of the NORCECA Men's Junior Continental Championship by defeating Puerto Rico 25-13, 25-15, 28-30, 25-12 on Wednesday afternoon at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
By winning the pool, Canada (3-0) advances directly to Friday's semifinal round and Puerto Rico (2-1) will challenge Pool A's third-place team in a quarterfinal match on Thursday.
Canada's offense was distributed evenly with four players in double-figure scoring and six players with at least seven points. Dany Demyanenko led the way with 16 points and Jarrid Michael Ireland added 15 points in the victory.
Pedro Ramos Fernandez and Giovanni Llinas paced Puerto Rico with 14 points each.
Canada's net defense produced a 16-5 block margin and limited its errors to 17 in the match to Puerto Rico's 26. Canada also held a 57-44 attack point advantage with a 57.0 success percent on attacks with Milan Nikic handing out 27 running sets.
Canada used an 11-3 run to establish a 21-11 lead in the opening set en route to winning 25-13 with five blocks. Canada inched its way to a seven-point edge at 20-13 and finished strong with a 25-15 victory. After trailing 13-10, Canada rallied to take the lead at 22-21 with five unanswered points but Puerto Rico earned the first set point at 24-23.
Canada saved three set points before taking the lead at 27-26, only to have Puerto Rico take the lead back at 29-28 after saving two match points and won 30-28. Canada raced to an 8-1 lead in the fourth set and never let up in a 25-12 victory.
"We knew coming into the match it would be a battle with Puerto Rico," Canada captain Milan Nikic said. "They are a strong team and gave us the battle we expected. Our blocking was good, we were discipline in not reaching. The tournament doesn't get any easier, and the job is not done."

Jets through 10: An overview
Robert Cleave
October 31 2011 10:36AM
The Jets finished their first segment of ten games Saturday evening with a 1-0 loss in Tampa, and with that, it's time for a review of the club's performance via the advanced numbers to this point.
Even strength: Team
The club has actually been mostly respectable at EV, averaging exactly as many shots for as against 5v5. What's slightly encouraging is that when the game is tied, the team's numbers aren't bad at all. The Jets' EV tied Shots/Fenwick/Corsi as a team reads .546/.526/.517 after the first ten games.
Tied numbers at EV hold real value when we examine long term club performance, since score effects can distort shots for/against by a percent or two over a full year. In general terms, if a team has 54.5% of the EV tied shots over a season, chances are that team is very good. Like, San Jose or Detroit good.
It's obviously way too early to presume those numbers will hold up for Winnipeg, so it will be a matter of interest to examine things in late November, after a difficult opening to the season. The club plays 15 of their first 23 games away from home, and a roster as thin as the Jets' is almost certain to exploited when the other coach has last change. I'd expect a fall off over the next few weeks, but if they can maintain any number above .500, that will be progress from last year.
(Note: as an apparent homage to the pedantic, Gabe's site still shows the Jets as "Atlanta")
Even Strength: Forwards
The club's top six has played fairly well, albeit with an assist from Claude Noel. The outshooting numbers are all very good, but it must be noted that none of them have a Zone Start percentage under 55. Noel has thrown Slater, Thorburn and Glass under the bus by that metric, and Slater, mostly as a result of being the extra center for DZone faceoffs, has faced some pretty tough comp in the bargain. The only thing keeping their +/- remotely respectable is that fact that they're shooting the lights out.
It's an interesting bargain Noel is trying to make. His hope is that by gifting his big guns easier ice time, they can overcome the thrashing his fourth line has to endure along the way. Other coaches with better players, like Vigneault and Quennville, employ the same sorts of tactics to great success. Winnipeg might need another forward ot two that can hang in the top nine to see good results via this approach, and it will be worth watching to see if Noel continues along this line once Slater et al quit having one out of every five shots go in.
Even Strength: Defence
Unlike his utilization of the forward corps, Claude Noel has handed his two best defencemen the heavy lifting, Byfuglien and Enstrom face the other team's best most nights and start in their own end more often than any of the other defenders. They're also outshooting by a non-trivial amount.
Willis covered much of this ground last week, so I'll just re-iterate one point from that article. Byfuglien's PDO is current .926. The lowest in the last four seasons recorded by any defenceman playing in at least 40 games was Derek Meech's .933 in 08/09, and I can't really see Buff wallowing at that level for a year. I know he can be unbelievably frustrating to watch on many nights, but the guy creates more than he gives up, providing the goalies behind him co-operate.
Special Teams: Not so special
What's really killing the Jets on the PK, as elsewhere, is goaltending. They have an .860 SV % 4v5, so their middling shots/60 against has been undone by the less than stellar work they've received between the pipes. Ondrej Pavelec is currently sporting a cool .821 PK SV%. That's even worse than his putrid .852 mark from a year a go, and as much as I'd like to point the finger at crappy work by the skaters, at some juncture you need a save or two.
The PP isn't bad, mostly just mediocre. Their shot rate and shooting percentages are middling, and as a result their overall PP % is middling as well. I have heard Claude Noel's complaints about the ratio of penalties for/against being as issue, but the club has only been shorthanded 5 more times thus far, which should only have been worth a goal, everything being equal.
Summing it all up, the club has been OK at even strength, and their overall performance has mostly been a result of some poor defensive coverage mixed with a fair bit of scratchy goaltending. The Jets aren't going to outscore teams many nights, so more work from Pavelec along the lines of what we witnessed Saturday is almost certainly what the team will need to be respectable.
They could use another forward or two as well, but that drum's getting worn out from me beating on it. At any rate, I'll look at these numbers again just before they start their extended home stand in late November, and as mentioned up top, if the EV tied numbers still look decent, they'll likely be headed for a season outside the lottery. Whether that's good or bad is another matter, of course, and I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
October 31 2011, 11:01AM
On the Byfuglien point: I think he's been friggin fantastic. He gets hemmed in his own end maybe two shifts a game maximum, and seems to always be on the ice when the Jets are creating offense. He's also been putting up a lot of individual attempts per game.

five stars for cuteness
"I LOVE these shoes! They are cutesy without being little girlish, and not too young for someone like my mom. . She's 29 and holding. hehe. They have some minor padding, but the strap hits in a strange place for my slightly on the wide side foot, so I can't give them a really comfy rating. Someone with a normal foot might could though. I'm highly considering the blue ones! For sure recommend these though. Extra extra pretty :)"

I like watching these fights but really I'm just sitting through the episodes thinking about what lies ahead >_<
nel is awesome
Kick me high, hit me low, spit on me it's gonna take more than that to break my soul.
Nice episode...thought they'd change Nel's voice a little. Oh well. One thing though, for those reborn fans,
Is it safe to assume that Nel has a ten-year bazooka?
when i download the subbed version via datteybayo via megaupload every time i put the three letters in i wait 45 seconds and then opress download and for some reason it redirects me to another megaupload download sessions again i put three letters and await 45 seconds and again...
en1 know why plz
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he never existed
Give a man a fish you feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish you feed him for life
That's happened to me a few times(though I was downloading something else) I just went back to the first set o 3 letters and refreshed it and it worked.
192 was decent I suppose but the only thing I want is Kenpachi Vs 3th Espada! Hurry! I'm well aware it's like 10 eps away :(
Far too awesome for your eyes!
I don't know but Nel's voice staying the same after changing seems uncool. Like I always imagined her voice to change, don't know why
My name is Corey and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge in every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with random women, and just generally act like a raging dick head. I contribute to society in no way what so ever
Proud fan of the Oujou White Knights!
yea they should've changed her voice when she turned adult, looks a little stupid when she talks like that.

David Cameron was dealt an embarrassing blow on the eve of his second visit to India yesterday after Delhi threatened to cancel a £480 million purchase of British-built helicopters over allegations that bribes were paid to win the order.
The Prime Minister's first overture to the Asian economic giant was snubbed last year when Delhi chose a French jet over the Eurofighter in a £12.9 billion deal that will cement links between France and India for decades to come.
And now Mr Cameron's latest attempt to drum up business for British firms from Delhi is being overshadowed by accusations that

John H Taylor and Daniel Antoine, curators, British Museum
We may think that we know the ancient Egyptians on account of the abundance of carved and painted images and the many texts on stone and papyrus that have survived, but these sources convey a formal, partial and sanitised view; to a large degree they tell us only what the Egyptians wanted posterity to know.
The first mummy entered the Museum's collection in 1756, and for the past 200 years none of the mummies have been unwrapped. But modern technology, in the form of the CT (computed tomography) scanner, has transformed the way that we can study them, allowing us to see within the wrappings and the mummified bodies, in a non-invasive and non-destructive manner.
We can now look behind the mask of material culture and encounter the actual people of the ancient Nile Valley through a forensic study of their remains – and these often tell a different story to the one we knew before.
The scanning process captures thousands of cross-sectional images of the mummies at a thickness of 0.6 mm for every 'slice'. These show internal features in startling detail, and by stacking the slices together and using volume rendering software, the mummy can be viewed on screen as a three-dimensional model. 'Segmentation' allows continuous surfaces of the same density – whether bone, textile, or artefacts such as amulets of faience or metal placed inside the wrappings – to be visualised and studied separately with precision and clarity.
The new exhibition Ancient lives: new discoveries highlights some of the remarkable findings that have been made using this method, bringing together a selection of eight mummies from the Museum's collection, interactive displays showing visualisations and displays of related objects to shed further light on the life and death of these ancient people.
The mummies we have selected originally lived in a span of over 4,000 years, from about 3500 BC to AD 700, and came from a range of sites, from the Faiyum in Upper Egypt to the fourth cataract region of Sudan. Through them we have sought to illustrate the different aspects of the experience of living and dying in settlements along the Nile Valley. We see their faces and discover their ages, and find out from which illnesses they suffered – all things that are usually absent from the written record. We know something about what they did in life, what they ate, and what might have contributed to their death. Some of the evidence uncovered by the scans shows that diseases we often think of as 'modern' were prevalent then – for example, we can see very clear images of calcification of the arteries in two of the adults, Tamut, Chantress of Amun, and Padiamenet, the temple doorkeeper. This would have meant that both of them were at risk of developing cardiovascular disease and might have died from a heart attack or stroke.
The CT scans also allow us to glimpse some of the secrets of the embalmers who mummified the bodies. In the skull of a man from Thebes, who lived around 600 BC, it has been possible to visualise the small hole made inside the nose, through which most of the brain was removed. Unusually, a portion of his brain was left behind, perhaps because the probe which the embalmer was using broke off, and is clearly visible on the scan, lying in the back of the skull.
We hope that this exhibition will help to change the perception of museum visitors towards mummies. We are privileged to have these people of ancient Egypt and Sudan among us today. Our investigations into some of the fundamentals of human life – such as diet, disease, personal adornment, and childhood – help to remind us that all of the mummies were once living people and should be treated with respect, care and dignity.
Ancient lives: new discoveries is at the British Museum until 30 November 2014.
The exhibition is sponsored by Julius Baer. Technology partner Samsung
John Taylor and Daniel Antoine are also authors of the exhibition catalogue, Ancient lives, new discoveries: eight mummies, eight stories, available at the Museum's online shop for £15 (£13.50 for Members).
Regarding the Dead: Human Remains in the British Museum, edited by Alexandra Fletcher, Daniel Antoine and JD Hill is also published by British Museum Press.

What is managed printing and how is it different from what was previously available? ▼
Managed printing is a process implemented through a combination of software and hardware controls that gives students greater printing flexibility and security, enables us to be more environmentally responsible, and provides a mechanism for controlling our currently unsustainable printing costs.
Managed printing provides the School with a mechanism to recapture printing costs from those students whose per-semester printing exceeds a reasonable complimentary amount.
Where is the managed printing process in effect? ▼
Does managed printing have any impact on the use of library copy machines? ▼
What if I don't want to use the student lab computers? Can I still print using a wireless device such as my laptop? ▼
Can I still use the printer's IP address to print to it wirelessly as I've done in the past? ▼
How will my printing be tracked to me personally? ▼
To use the managed printing process, you must have available:
- Your Detroit Mercy email address
- Your student "T" number
If you do not know both of these items, please go to TitanConnect for assistance.
When you submit a job for printing, you will be prompted to enter your user name (your Detroit Mercy email name) and your password (the numeric portion of your T-Number)
Can I change my user name or password to something that I choose? ▼
So if someone knows my T-Number, they could potentially submit print jobs using funds from my printing account? ▼
What is the "reasonable complimentary amount" that will be allocated for student printing? ▼
What happens if I use up my $7.50 allocation and need to print more pages? ▼
All student accounts are reset at the beginning of every term. Unused printing funds do not carry over into the next term. Unused printing funds at the end of the semester will not be refunded or applied to other accounts.
Can a student transfer money from their own printing account to someone else's printing account? ▼
How will I know how much a particular print job will cost me? ▼
What if I run out of money in the middle of printing a document? ▼
Do I have to print every job I submit or can I delete print jobs before printing them? ▼
Will I be charged for print jobs that I decide to delete from the holding queue? ▼
How long will my print jobs stay in the holding queue? ▼
What if someone else picks up my printed output? Will I still be charged for it? ▼
Is there any discount for printing double-sided? ▼
What types of documents can I print? ▼
At this time you cannot print documents that have a .txt file type. If you need to print such a document, simply open it using Word, save it in Word format, and then print it.

Once a part of a vast sea bottom that stretched from the Alleghenies to the Rockies, the scenic canyon area was formed by the action of the winding waters of the Apple River. The park offers hiking, day use, camping and fishing, plus Millville, a National Historic Register site.

CITY:Scales Mound
This monument is located on the site of Kellogg's Grove, an early settlement established in 1827 on a mail route between Peoria and Galena, and now on the National Register of Historic Places. It honors those killed in the Blackhawk War, including in the final Illinois Battle which occurred at this grove in June, 1832. Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Illinois militia, helped bury five of the slain men. The remaining soldiers were originally buried throughout the area at the spots at which they fell. Fifty years after the war, local farmers collected the remains and buried them in one enclosure on top of this hill overlooking the Yellow Creek Valley. The 34-foot high monument was dedicated in 1886.

Friend Mourns Death of X-Games Snowmobiler
A Yakima X-Games snowmobiler is reacting to the death of one of his competitors, 25-year-old Caleb Moore died today after a crash during the X-Games in Aspen a week ago.
Moore was attempting a backflip in the freestyle event when the skis on his snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars.
He landed face-first in the snow, and his snowmobile rolled over him just seconds later.
Yakima's Joe Parsons was competing in the same event and later won the silver medal.
He says Moore's death is a tragedy, and he'll be looking more into the safety of the sport in the future.

Good basic boot
"I was looking for black boots, and decided to wait until I could find them on clearance...but I waited too long, and these were virtually the only black boots left in my size.They are plainer than I was looking for, but I do like the look. They work with skinny jeans, or a skirt equally well. The snakeskin heel gives them just a tiny bit of "pop".I normally wear a 7.5, but I bought them in an 8, which works with a boot, as there is no heel slippage. They are pretty comfortable for the first half of the day, but there is not a lot of cushion for the ball of the foot, so they begin to hurt after a few hours. They are not unbearable, just not quite as comfortable as they could be. (I like shoes that can take me through from morning to night with no pain.)All-in-all, I would still recommend them to anyone looking for a very basic, simple black boot."

Lovely but not for the slim-calved
"I thought these boots were sleek and lovely, and had the potential to be the kind of boots that I would wear every other day in the wintertime. However, the shafts of these boots are very structured and happened to NOT fit my 12.5-inch calves. Not even close...these looked absolutely horrible on me. I would recommend these boots to someone with normal sized calves. I was pretty pleased with the overall comfort though."

love the color
"Mint items seem to have become the top ranked choice of color lately. These are great but i have a high arch and it prevented me to get my foot in the shoe. I'm expecting and need an easy on and off and it wasn't the perfect shoe for me. Typically love Puma products."

Not as described
"These are not made of canvas, as the description says. They are made of nylon, which is weird, because it is stiff and uncomfortable, and they make a noise like heavy paper bags being crumpled when you walk. It's a drag, because they fit my narrow feet well and the color is so great. Returning."

cute but tough on tops of feet

Yale Law School, Public Law Working Paper No. 152
Why do white men fear various risks less than women and minorities? Known as the white male effect, this pattern is well documented but poorly understood. This paper proposes a new explanation: identity-protective cognition. Putting work on the cultural theory of risk together with work on motivated cognition in social psychology suggests that individuals selectively credit and dismiss asserted dangers in a manner supportive of their preferred form of social organization. This dynamic, it is hypothesized, drives the white male effect, which reflects the risk skepticism that hierarchical and individualistic white males display when activities integral to their cultural identities are challenged as harmful. The article presents the results of an 1,800-person study that confirmed that cultural worldviews interact with the impact of gender and race on risk perception in patterns that suggest cultural-identity-protective cognition. It also discusses the implication of these findings for risk regulation and communication.

Australia continue their quest for victory in The Rugby Championship when they host South Africa on Saturday.
Australia continue their quest for victory in The Rugby Championship when they host South Africa on Saturday.
Back-to-back matches against New Zealand were always going to be a tough ask for new Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie, and whilst there were certainly notable moments for Australia, overall they were generally outclassed.
There is hardly any shame in that – New Zealand, bar their blip against England, are far and away the best team in world rugby and by some distance.
The Wallabies have improved as they've gone on, even leading 6-0 after half an hour in Wellington, but Australia didn't take enough chances whilst the All Blacks, as ever, never let their's get away.
McKenzie's baptism has therefore been scorching, but the former Reds boss now has a better idea of what needs work. Defensively in Sydney there were far too many defensive lapses to make the fixture a contest, regardless of Will Genia's brilliance. The lack of impact from the bench, something McKenzie publicly criticised following the loss in Wellington, has been another downfall.
Matt Toomua, much like McKenzie, had an unreasonably hard start to Test rugby and has now lost his number ten jersey to Quade Cooper.
The return of Australia's enigmatic stand-off, partnering stand-in captain Genia at half-back, guarantees fireworks – but the Wallabies will need control to take down South Africa.
The dropping of Jesse Mogg on the other hand is more understandable, after the Brumbies' star struggled in his first two starts.
Moving Israel Folau into what many regard as his best position at full-back will be worth observing, as the tri-code convert looks suited to the 15 jersey considering his prowess under the high ball and ability to break out from the back.
South Africa have also made a switch at full-back, but it has not been met with quite as much fanfare.
New Leinster signing Zane Kirchner is back for the Springboks after many months on the sidelines due to a hand injury. His inclusion, a safety-first measure to cure the Boks troubles under the high ball against Argentina, has shifted Willie Le Roux onto the right wing with Bryan Habana moving over to the left.
The selection of Kirchner smacks of opting for solidity, with Bjorn Basson's defensive capabilities queried, and South Africa perhaps are a touch rattled after their difficult trip to Mendoza two weeks ago.
Despite a 22-17 victory, the Springboks largely struggled against a physical Argentina side that ruled at the breakdown and were far more inventive in attack. It was a long way from the 73-13 rout over the Pumas a week before, but offered a more revealing examination of where South Africa currently are as a team.
Wins in 2013 have come over Samoa, Italy, Scotland and Argentina at home, whilst squeaking past Argentina away. Five victories yes, four at home, but not against top class opposition. It's a run of form that on closer inspection, is not quite as gleaming as it seems.
For that reason, against the Wallabies, Heyneke Meyer has freshened up his forwards and looked to secure a win away in Australia for the first time since 2009 to dispel any doubts about the Boks' ability overseas.
Players to watch:
For Australia: Cooper will naturally gather plenty of the attention in the build-up to Saturday's game, which leaves Michael Hooper the scope to fly under the radar. Other sides fear Hooper because he is an outstanding limpet at the ruck area – regardless of the opposition. South Africa will have planned to take him out physically, the power of Willem Alberts and Duane Vermeulen acting as a counter-threat, but Hooper is sly and can make key turnovers when it counts.
For South Africa: When you can swap out Andries Strauss and bring back in Bismarck du Plessis, then your depth in the number two jersey is blessed. Packing down alongside brother Jannie and team-mate Tendai Mtawarira, Bismarck was the first of the trio to reach 50 caps when he came off the bench against Argentina, with the other two not far behind on 47 and 46 respectively. That much familiarity will provide the Wallabies with real concern at scrum time, whilst Bismarck is capable of making plays of his own at the breakdown.
Head-to-head: Searching for James O'Connor's best position in a green and gold jersey is a guessing game that has gone on for far too long. His stint at fly-half against the Lions was a mistake, but there is substantial doubt as to whether he has enough speed to be an international winger. With Folau at full-back, Nick Cummins back in the fold and Henry Speight soon to qualify on residency, O'Connor needs to make an impression.
His opposite man will be Willie Le Roux – now a fully fledged Springbok after an excellent season in Super Rugby with the Cheetahs. Shifted over to the wing after some concern over his ability under the high ball against Argentina, Le Roux has not many, but a few critics to answer over his effectiveness so far at Test level.

2012: Australia won 26-19, Perth

2009: South Africa won 32-25, Perth
2009: South Africa won 29-17, Cape Town
2008: South Africa won 53-8, Johannesburg
Prediction: The late withdrawal of James Horwill for the Wallabies changes the outlook of this one slightly. The amount of hysteria generated around his potential absence against the Lions underlines how important he is to Australia. Furthermore, it takes away another physical presence in the Wallaby pack against a fierce Springbok outfit.
Both sides are searching for some credibility and there is very little to choose between them, but Morné Steyn's boot just might close this one out. South Africa by 3!

Passengers on the fire-disabled Carnival Triumph who have been able to reach relatives and news outlets over the past 24 hours are reporting bleak conditions that include overflowing toilets and a ship-wide stench.
In short phone calls and texts made during brief periods of cellphone connectivity, passengers also have relayed stories of long lines for meals and people sleeping on open decks.
"Conditions are getting worse by the hour," passenger Debra Rightmire tells ABC News. "Cabin carpets are wet with urine and water, (and) toilets are overflowing inside cabins. We are having to sleep in the hallways."
RELATED: Fire-damaged ship heading to Alabama
PHOTO TOUR: Look inside a Carnival ship
Another passenger, Shelly Crosby, tells the network that some people are sleeping in tents set up on the ship's deck and lines for services are brutal.
"We stood in line for four hours to get a hamburger," Crosby says.
The Carnival Triumph was left adrift in the Gulf of Mexico with limited power on Sunday morning after an engine room fire and now is being towed to Mobile, Ala. It's expected to arrive on Thursday afternoon.
With much of the power on the ship down, passengers with cellphones only have been able to call and text from the vessel during brief periods when another Carnival ship with connectivity pulls alongside to drop off supplies.
Brent Nutt, whose wife and sisters-in-law are aboard the Carnival Triumph, tells CNN's Soledad O'Brien today that he spoke to his wife yesterday afternoon and she was "pretty broken up" by the experience.
"The conditions are getting a little bit better. The ship is not leaning quite as bad as what it was," Nutt says his wife told him. "But she said the water pipes on the ship are breaking and ...there's feces all over the floor, and (she) just talk about the horrendous odor that's on the ship. She says that the odor is so bad that people are getting sick."

MORE: One year later, Costa Concordia still half-submerged
With the ship dead in the water on Monday, the vessel was listing about 4.5 degrees due to strong winds. Carnival spokesperson Vance Gulliksen tells USA TODAY the list has been reduced to about 2 degrees since towing of the vessel began late Monday night. The list poses no safety risk, Carnival says.
While Sunday's blaze was contained to the Carnival Triumph's engine room with the help of the ship's automatic fire suppression systems, it resulted in a loss of power used to operate air conditioning, elevators and toilets in passenger areas as well as kitchen equipment used to prepare hot meals. For a time, the vessel's freshwater system also was down.
Carnival on Monday said technicians on the Carnival Triumph had restored its freshwater system, and toilets were operating in some parts of the vessel. Some power had been restored to the ship's Lido buffet, allowing for hot coffee and limited hot food service. Power also has been restored to a limited number of elevators on the ship, making it easier for passengers to move around the vessel.
None of the 3,143 passengers and 1,086 crew on board the Carnival Triumph were injured during the fire, but on Monday a passenger in need of dialysis was transferred off the ship to another Carnival vessel, the Carnival Legend, for transport to Cozumel, Mexico. Arriving Monday afternoon, the Legend also provided meals for passengers on the Triumph.
Family members of some passengers say they haven't been able to reach their loved ones and are worried.
"It's stressful," Danny Price of Oklahoma tells Tulsa's KJRH-TV of not being able to talk to his wife and other relatives on the vessel. "I'd like to hear from her and know that she's alright and being taken care of."
Travel agent Monte Akers of CruiseOne in Houston tells USA TODAY he hasn't heard from a family of six he has booked on the sailing. But he's impressed with how Carnival is handling the situation so far.
Within hours of the fire, Carnival announced that passengers on the ship would get full refunds, and it later added a credit for a future cruise.
"Typically when these things happen cruise lines will give vouchers for only a portion of the cruise," Akers notes.
At the time of the fire, the Carnival Triumph was near the end of a four-night cruise to Mexico out of Galveston, Texas that began on Thursday. The ship had been scheduled to return to Galveston early Monday. Carnival says it is arranging to get passengers back home from Mobile after the ship arrives on Thursday.
The Carnival Triumph fire is just the latest in a string of serious incidents involving cruise ships, most notably the Costa Concordia capsizing in January 2012 that left 32 passengers dead. In another incident this weekend, five crew members of a 1,056-passenger ship operated by UK-based Thomson Cruises were killed in an accident during a safety drill.

Access issues inherited from Waterval Boven
Best is by car but see bus info below. There is actually no need at all to venture into Johannesburg itself (not that it"s such a bad place, some people love it!). From Johannesburg airport (O R Tambo International) take the R21 south for a few kilometers then the N12 east towards Witbank, which becomes the N4. These are excellent highways and within two hours (several kilometers after the second toll gate) the turn-off to Waterval Boven is reached on the right. Note: the highway splits into two
1.5 kilometres after the second toll gate. Both are still signed N4 Nelspruit, but only one of them passes Boven! Keep straight, don"t take the left fork, many first time visitors make the mistake of going left which leads in completely the wrong direction!
The expensive toll gate just before Boven can be fairly easily avoided by turning off (right) at Machadodorp, approximately 15 kilometres before Boven. Drive into Machadodorp then take the tar road towards Badplaas (signed) for approx 13 kms, then turn left towards "Nkmomati Mine". After 3.2 kms turn left onto a gravel road signed Waterval Boven. Keep on this, keeping left at the fork at 6.5 kms, the road leads past the Tranquilitas Adventure farm and the Wonderland crags and after another 8 kilometres or so into Boven town, about 10-15 minutes later than if you had gone through the toll. If it"s been raining very heavily this road can be unpassable in a normal car, however it dries very quickly (within a few hours).
Once in Boven, Roc "n Rope Adventures is easily found, on the opposite corner is the Shamrock Arms pub. Stop in and say "howzit" and get directions, either to the Climbers" Lodge or to Tranquilitas. While in town pick up some beer and some cheap (but excellent) steak and boerewors from the butcher (Slaghuis), be sure to ask for the climbers" discount.
There are a couple of shuttle-bus services that leave/return to Joburg once a day. At the time of writing "Jereh" will drop you off at roc and rope. Contact them on 082 378 3614; they will soon have a website. The other service is the Lowveld Link
(www.lowveldlink.com) but they only drop at the Boven turn off from the N4 but its only 1-2 kms from there to Roc and Rope. Expect to pay between R 300 and 400 return.
Continue along to the right of the COVEN. After about 50 m along over some blocks these towers lie with fun moderate climbing.

Skip to comments.ACTOR DAVID CARRIDINE FOUND NAKED, DEAD, HANGING BY CORD IN THAILAND
Posted on 06/04/2009 4:22:59 PM PDT by RaceBannon
just heard live on tv
Thank you.
maybe he was there to play chess
"I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine."
sheesh, what?
Yikes, this morning Fox is reporting that he was found with a rope around his neck and the other end of the rope around his penis. What's up with that?
Sheesh, to the people who can't search on titles but whine about key words
Any old excuse...in any thread...about any subject. It never ends here.
I wonder when it'll be recognized as an official psychiatric disorder.
I must admit that the first time I heard about his death and where it happened the first thing I thought was autoeroticasphixiation. Pretty said when that's the first thing you think of.
OK, it's getting stranger. I just read an article that stated his hands were tied BEHIND HIS BACK-which means someone else, probably a hooker, was involved, and split when things went awry.
But he wasn't naked. He was found 'curled up' and his hands were bound.
If he committed suicide or sexual asphixia how could he bind up his hands?
Sounds like murder to me.

text: My Weimaraner was diagnosed with MCTs two years ago – he had two tumours removed, one being on his head so the surgeon wasn't able to take a wide enough margin. After two operations we decided enough was enough and looked into Homeopathy, and found a wonderful Holistic Vet, we haven't looked back since. He is taking an MCT nosode, CV 247 (which is also being trialled on humans and is showing very favourable results), Floressence, he is on an organic RAW diet, has cottage cheese and ground flaxseed, fish oils, garlic, yogurt etc. He is doing extremely well, he's happy, active and full of life, out hunting every day and people can't believe he has cancer, it's amazing! Research has shown that we are over vaccinating our pets, the wormers etc are filling them with toxins and this is the result, all unnecessary when it can be done naturally IMO. I urge everyone to please look at alternatives as it's been a complete eye opener to me 🙂
