The players are in the middle. We are just about set...Dale Steyn with the new ball
10.25am Getting close to the start now. Here's Mark: "Unlike Andrew I'm happy that Martin has been selected. He has experience, has done well against SA and bowled as well as anyone, if not better, in the warm-up game. His work ethic is better than most. In recent years he has been poorly served by NZC but doesn't spit the dummy. As far as batting goes - if you have to make your decisions re bowlers on their batting then you are in deep trouble anyway. Agree with Dickson though - we should have had McClenaghan in place of Franklin."
Patch again: "Would any player from the NZ side make it into the South African one? In each of the 11 spots, South Africa has NZ covered. That is the worrying thing about this series."
10.20am And, of course, the year is starting on a very sombre note after yesterday's death of Christopher Martin-Jenkins to follow quickly from the loss of Tony Greig. Vic Marks, a long-time colleague of CMJ on Test Match Special, has penned a wonderful tribute to him.
10.15am Dickson is another frustrated New Zealand supporter: "I see our selectors still haven't learned. Bracewell would be better in place of Franklin, not alongside him. Franklin is deadweight, he offers friendly "lash me to the boundary" pace with the ball and next to nothing with the bat. We should have had the guts to play McClenaghan and go with four proper seamers plus Patel, not three seamers, a has-been and Patel."
Meanwhile, we are continuing our look back at 2012. Here's the last part of our timeline for the year and Sid Monga looks back at the highs and lows.
10.05am The good news for Patch is that Chris Martin does play. Here are the teams.
South Africa Graeme Smith, Alvrio Petersen, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Dean Elgar, Faf du Plessis, Vernon Philander, Robin Peterson, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel
New Zealand Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Dean Brownlie, Daniel Flynn, BJ Watling, James Franklin, Doug Bracewell, Trent Boult, Jeetan Patel, Chris Martin
So another chance for Dean Elgar after his pair on debut and he is down to bat above the in-form Faf du Plessis. That, though, will come later. First we'll see Steyn, Morkel and Philander against New Zealand's top order. Dean Brownlie has the big task of filling Ross Taylor's boots.
Andrew isn't too happy: "Don't understand the selection of Martin, who no doubt was picked because of the 'experience' he provides. Have they forgotten that the left-out Wagner just happens to be South African and has no doubt played in these conditions before?? Batting between the two doesn't even need to be discussed."
10.00am Here we go folks. New Zealand have won the toss and will bat first. So a fragile batting line-up will be in the firing line straight away with Dale Steyn needing one wicket for 300. Just getting the teams confirmed for you.
9.55am Patch has a thought on Chris Martin, who may not play today. "Hoping that I get to see the Phantom one last time in this series. Surely if he can't get a game here, it's time to bring to a close the most talked about batting career of a generation."
And Dan says: "McCullum must almost be hoping to lose the toss, as it's going to be a tough decision to make if he wins it. His attack needs the early pitch conditions to have a decent crack, but batting first may be the best chance his batting line-up has of avoiding the follow-on."
Here's a nice story from Stephen, following us from Tbilisi. "As a proud Cape Townian do I know The Newlands Ground very good. Played for the SA U/20, WP B, Northern Tranvaal side a lot on Newlands. Remember the first game for NT B against WP B with my mate Meyrick Pringe from the one side and other BIGG mate Brian Mac from the other side. South Easter blowing 20-30knots and Pring swung the ball like 1/2 meter in the air."
9.40am Hello everyone and Happy New Year. Welcome to our coverage of the first Test of 2013. It comes from the fantastic setting of Newlands in Cape Town, one of more stunning locations for a cricket match. I'm Andrew McGlashan and I'll be bring you the action over the next few days along with some help from my colleagues.
Some early info from Firdose Moonda, our South Africa correspondent, is that it's a lovely sunny day and the stiff south-easter from yesterday has gone. The other good news is that today is a sell-out which is an excellent sign. We'll have toss and team news in about 15 minutes, but for now you can read Firdose's series preview and her feature on Kane Williamson who has a lot on his shoulders.
Steyn to Guptill, no run, good start, nice line just outside off stump and that's a close leave to start with
Steyn to Guptill, no run, back of a length on off stump, just a hint of away shape and defended square on the off side
Three slips and a gully in place. No short leg.
Steyn to Guptill, no run, outside off, starts to leave Guptill who lets it go outside off
Steyn to Guptill, 1 run, gets forward on off stump, drops this into the off side in front of point and gets New Zealand under way with a well-taken single
Early signs are that this surface is a touch on the slower side, at least until the sun gets to work on it
Steyn to McCullum, no run, excellent short ball, he greets McCullum with a bouncer over off stump and the New Zealand captain arches out of the line at the last moment
Steyn to McCullum, no run, another short one over off stump, a more comfortable delivery to evade this time...a probing opening over from Steyn as he searches for wicket No. 300
End of over 1 (1 run) New Zealand 1/0
- BB McCullum 0 (2b)
- MJ Guptill 1 (4b)
- DW Steyn 1-0-1-0
Vernon Philander, who needed a fitness test before this match, shares the new ball
Philander to Guptill, 5 leg byes, big appeal first ball! Guptill got across his stumps and is taken on the pad but it's missing leg stump. De Villiers chases the ball and throws at the non-striker's end which results in four overthrows
Philander to McCullum, no run, played into the off side
Philander to McCullum, no run, that's a beauty, pitches just outside off stump, hints the seam then jags away from McCullum as he pushes forward
Philander to McCullum, no run, forces himself forward at this one and defends solidly towards mid-off
Philander to McCullum, 1 leg bye, takes the pad again towards square leg
Philander to Guptill, OUT, gone! There's the first one. It's been a lovely start from Philander. Pitches on off stump, shapes away a hint, Guptill plays the original line and gets a thin outside edge
MJ Guptill c †de Villiers b Philander 1 (8m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
So is this the start of New Zealand's worst nightmares?
End of over 2 (6 runs, wicket maiden) New Zealand 7/1
- BB McCullum 0 (6b)
- VD Philander 1-1-0-1
- DW Steyn 1-0-1-0
Kane Williamson in at No. 3
Steyn to McCullum, no run, full outside off, trying to tempt a drive, McCullum shoulders arms
Steyn to McCullum, no run, good line outside off, so far McCullum is resisting his natural instincts to attack
Steyn to McCullum, no run, fuller and wider outside off, more elaborate movement on this delivery as it swings away but started too wide
Steyn to McCullum, no run, drags the length back a little but a fraction too wide outside off as it goes through to de Villiers
Steyn to McCullum, no run, full on middle, McCullum gets a decent stride forward and defends to the leg side
"Ouch," says Jeremy. "Based on recent history, you could forgive me for saying this already has a feeling of inevitability about it."
Steyn to McCullum, FOUR, the first boundary off the bat, McCullum goes up and over gully as he's offered width by Steyn as he pitches shorter...didn't even try keeping it down, pretty safe shot with such an attacking field
End of over 3 (4 runs) New Zealand 11/1
- BB McCullum 4 (12b 1x4)
- KS Williamson 0 (0b)
- DW Steyn 2-0-5-0
- VD Philander 1-1-0-1
Philander to Williamson, no run, gets squared up a little first ball as he defends towards the leg side...Philander looks in good rhythm straight away
Philander to Williamson, no run, on off stump, defended down by his feet and there was a momentary thought of a sharp single before point skipped in
Philander to Williamson, no run, defended to the leg side, not as much of a stride into the ball by Williamson
Philander to Williamson, no run, a bouncer which Williamson attempts to hook but it balloons over the shot, quite close to the gloves, through to de Villiers who can't take it cleanly
Philander to Williamson, no run, lbw appeal...was a strong shout from Philander but didn't get a huge amount of support and it's because there was a healthy inside edge
We do have DRS in this series
Philander to Williamson, no run, back of a length, Williamson across the crease and plays to the leg side
End of over 4 (maiden) New Zealand 11/1
- KS Williamson 0 (6b)
- BB McCullum 4 (12b 1x4)
- VD Philander 2-2-0-1
- DW Steyn 2-0-5-0
Scott says: "In short: Wagner offers 10 times more than Franklin with the ball, and based on Franklin's recent form, just as much with the bat."
Steyn to McCullum, 2 runs, a full, straight, delivery is worked away through square leg...a few hands on heads by the slip fielders
Steyn to McCullum, no run, back outside off stump with that nice touch of away swing, McCullum leaves alone by extravagantly lifting the bat above his head
Steyn to McCullum, no run, pulled a little wider outside the stumps and it's left alone
Steyn to McCullum, 1 run, awkward delivery as it bounces a touch more from a good length, McCullum is playing forward and gets taken on the splice - almost the handle - but places it into the gap at cover
Steyn to Williamson, no run, pitches this in the testing area outside off that leaves a batsman slightly in two minds whether to play or leave...Williamson opts for the latter
Steyn to Williamson, no run, this one is a much easier judgement call as it's wider outside off
End of over 5 (3 runs) New Zealand 14/1
- KS Williamson 0 (8b)
- BB McCullum 7 (16b 1x4)
- DW Steyn 3-0-8-0
- VD Philander 2-2-0-1
Philander to McCullum, no run, defended firmly towards midwicket from a middle-stump line
Philander to McCullum, no run, back of a length, nips into McCullum off the seam and he flicks it to square leg
There is not a cloud in the sky above Newlands. A wonderful sight.
Philander to McCullum, OUT, cleaned up! But there are a few clouds looming for New Zealand. This was just a good length delivery really, although perhaps it nipped back a touch and McCullum gets an inside edge before the ball crashes into middle stump.
BB McCullum b Philander 7 (24m 19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 36.84
Philander starting 2013 as he performed for much of 2012. For all the weakness of New Zealand's top order, this has been a wonderful spell so far. Every ball on the mark.
Philander to Brownlie, no run, beaten! Goes past Brownlie's outside edge first ball, he's caught on the crease prodding, but interestingly it doesn't carry to de Villiers
Philander to Brownlie, no run, wider outside off, shapes away further, left alone
"NZ 14 for 2....the tail is exposed already," says Steve
Philander to Brownlie, OUT, make that 14 for 3! Philander running riot at the moment. Gets a delivery to bounce just outside off stump and Brownlie feels for it with a rather limp shot which results in a gentle edge that loops to Smith at first slip
DG Brownlie c Smith b Philander 0 (3m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
End of over 6 (wicket maiden) New Zealand 14/3
- KS Williamson 0 (8b)
- VD Philander 3-3-0-3
- DW Steyn 3-0-8-0
What a start for Philander and South Africa although, sadly, it's what many predicted would happen
Steyn to Williamson, no run, short ball over off stump, drops his hands and lets it go through
Steyn to Williamson, FOUR, thick outside edge, Williamson driving at a full delivery and it squirts fine of gully down to third man...get that cordon packed
Four slips and a gully now, all on high alert
Steyn to Williamson, no run, back of a length, defended into the leg side
Steyn to Williamson, 2 runs, that's a neat shot, pitched full on middle and Williamson just pushes it straight through mid-on
Steyn to Williamson, 3 runs, another nice piece of timing as he works this off stumps through the leg side although it doesn't have quite enough power to reach the boundary as Amla chases
Just a touch straight from Steyn in the last few deliveries...now he gets a go to a left hander
Steyn to Flynn, no run, pushed wide outside off stump and left alone by Flynn
"I've got to pop out the office for a few hours but fear that when I return the Kiwi's will be in the field having been bowled out before lunch," says Andrew.
End of over 7 (9 runs) New Zealand 23/3
- DR Flynn 0 (1b)
- KS Williamson 9 (13b 1x4)
- DW Steyn 4-0-17-0
- VD Philander 3-3-0-3
Philander to Williamson, no run, a beautiful spell continues with a ball on off stump that again has the batsman defending tentatively to the off side
Philander to Williamson, no run, gets forward on off stump, defended back to the bowler
"That is the trouble with B Mac being captain his over confidence is going to cost us," says Mike. "Why bat with an inexperienced batting line up on a fresh wicket against this attack. WHY!"
Philander to Williamson, no run, finds the outside edge again, the ball moving late as Williamson comes forward, but he played with soft hands so it falls well short of third slip
Philander to Williamson, FOUR, Stop press. Philander has conceded runs. Overpitches a little for the first time and Williamson leans into a lovely cover drive which goes wide of mid-off
Philander to Williamson, no run, good response from Philander who pulls the length back and gets this to nip back off the seam into Williamson's pads via an inside edge
Philander to Williamson, OUT, has he got another?! Yes, he has. Number four. The umpire gave him lbw but Williamson opted to review. There was no inside, what about the height? Nothing on Hotspot and it's clipping the top of middle. That's out.
KS Williamson lbw b Philander 13 (28m 19b 2x4 0x6) SR: 68.42
What a session for Vernon. He has the ball on a string and New Zealand are, to put it bluntly, out of their depth
End of over 8 (4 runs) New Zealand 27/4
- DR Flynn 0 (1b)
- VD Philander 4-3-4-4
- DW Steyn 4-0-17-0
"Ross Taylor might not have stopped this kind of carnage, but he would have given much backbone to a New Zealand outfit seemingly bereft of any," says Johan. "I hope Mike Hesson is happy." We have a change of bowling. Here's Morne Morkel.
Morkel to Flynn, no run, starts around the wicket to the left hander, it's outside off and left alone
Morkel to Flynn, no run, pushed fuller outside off stump, Flynn doesn't need to play
Morkel to Flynn, no run, shorter this time, climbs fairly gently through to de Villiers but it's too wide
Morkel to Flynn, no run, makes him play, pitches full on off stump, Flynn drives off the front foot to point
Morkel to Flynn, no run, back of a length and left alone
"This brings back memories of 12 months ago, strong SA performance at Newlands and I'm sitting in a gloomy Jo'burg," says Chris. "Life is so unfair."
Morkel to Flynn, no run, that's more awkward as a short ball climbs past Flynn, but the slowness of the pitch means he has plenty of time to sway out of the way
End of over 9 (maiden) New Zealand 27/4
- DR Flynn 0 (7b)
- BJ Watling 0 (0b)
- M Morkel 1-1-0-0
- VD Philander 4-3-4-4
Philander to Watling, OUT, Oh boy, oh boy! That's unplayable. A peach of a delivery snakes away from Watling who had to play and another edge goes behind the wicket. He couldn't do much about that. Just too good. Mesmeric stuff from Philander
BJ Watling c †de Villiers b Philander 0 (5m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
"At least we past 26," says Lawrence, who sent that in before the fifth wicket went down.
Philander has 5 for 4. Are we looking at record-book stuff. Allan Donald, in the dugout, stood to applaud that wicket. Over to you, James Franklin
Philander to Franklin, no run, ooh, arms go up in excitement as this shapes back into the left hander and takes the pad but it's very high
A packed slip cordon behind Franklin. Four slips and two gullies...the old umbrella field
Philander to Franklin, no run, a rare loose delivery, sprayed way outside off and left alone...he's allowed one
Philander to Franklin, no run, back on a good length at off stump, Franklin defends towards the leg side
Philander to Franklin, no run, full outside off, Franklin shuffles across the crease and leaves alone
A five-wicket haul in less than five overs...phew. I'm not sure where this stands on 'fastest' five-wicket hauls. But it will have to be up there
Philander to Franklin, 1 run, full on middle and off, Franklin is almost late down onto it but manages to tuck a single through square leg
End of over 10 (1 run) New Zealand 28/5
- JEC Franklin 1 (5b)
- DR Flynn 0 (7b)
- VD Philander 5-3-5-5
- M Morkel 1-1-0-0
Mark says: "The embarrassment for NZ fans continues. Could The Phantom be our top scorer? When our strength (such that it is) is our bowling, why oh why did we bat first? That's not being positive, it's being suicidal. All it means is that our bowlers are not going to be free to attack now, they'll be trying to be defensive as well. Talk about shoot yourself in the foot. Can we at least better Australia's 47? Please?"
Morkel to Franklin, no run, over the wicket now, angled across the left hander and left alone
Morkel to Franklin, no run, full outside off, pitching on the popping crease, and left alone
Those terrific people at Opta have this: "Vernon Philander's 25-ball 5-wicket haul is the third fastest in Test match history."
Morkel to Franklin, no run, short ball outside leg stump, bit of a waste really and poses no danger
Morkel to Franklin, no run, a little all over the shop from Morkel as this one flies miles outside off stump
Morkel to Franklin, OUT, oh goodness, the game of skittles continues. Morkel gets one straighter and fuller, it's all he had to do, and Franklin drives meekly outside off to give another edge through to Smith. Tame stuff.
JEC Franklin c Smith b Morkel 1 (9m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10.00
We could be about to start 2013 with an early challenger for the lowest total of the year. "Just tuned in. What's the pitch/overhead conditions like?" asks StoneRose. Pitch fine, a touch on the slow side, with a touch of early movement. Glorious sunny day. New Zealand very poor.
"I agree with Mark, batting first was idiotic," says Evan. "Bazz is too proud, too much of a gambler. Hopefully this will make him pull his head in a bit and play the percentages, instead of trying to prove that his "stones" are as big as anyone elses."
Morkel to Bracewell, no run, back of a length outside off, left alone by the No. 8 batsman who has walked in at 11.28 on the opening day
End of over 11 (wicket maiden) New Zealand 28/6
- DAJ Bracewell 0 (1b)
- DR Flynn 0 (7b)
- M Morkel 2-2-0-1
- VD Philander 5-3-5-5
Philander to Flynn, 1 run, nips back into Flynn, takes a thick inside edge behind square on the leg side
Philander to Bracewell, no run, beaten! Another cracker from Philander. Full outside off stump, late movement past the outside edge. No confident footwork
Philander to Bracewell, no run, not quite so full this time, squares up Bracewell as he defends and takes his bottom hand off the bat
Philander to Bracewell, no run, full outside off, defended to point
Philander to Bracewell, no run, short and wide, Bracewell decides to chase it with a cut shot that never looked like making contact
"Us NZ fans should be cheerful," starts Jono. "We've finally reached the bottom, after 4-5 years of being thereabouts, and it can only get better from here. Surely?"
Philander to Bracewell, 1 run, there's the variation from Philander, produces one that nips back into Bracewell off the seam and it takes an inside edge to square leg. Vernon can do that at will, much like James Anderson
End of over 12 (2 runs) New Zealand 30/6
- DAJ Bracewell 1 (6b)
- DR Flynn 1 (8b)
- VD Philander 6-3-7-5
- M Morkel 2-2-0-1
Morkel to Bracewell, 1 run, well bowled, back of a length and jags off the seam to take the inside edge over the stumps...de Villiers scrambles after it
Morkel to Flynn, no run, full outside off, left alone
Brad has this advert: "For sale: 2 Tickets, SA vs NZ in Cape Town, day 3."
Morkel to Flynn, no run, full and a little too wide outside off, although you have to fancy they'll nick it soon enough
Morkel to Flynn, no run, much better delivery, close to off stump and the angle means it slides past the outside edge as Flynn plays forward
Morkel to Flynn, no run, wider outside off and no shot offered
Morkel to Flynn, no run, changes to around the wicket, there's a strangled shout for lbw as he gets struck coming forward...looked outside the line and maybe an edge, too
"Don't worry," says Barnes. "Chris Martin to come." Can he be a hero?
End of over 13 (1 run) New Zealand 31/6
- DR Flynn 1 (13b)
- DAJ Bracewell 2 (7b)
- M Morkel 3-2-1-1
- VD Philander 6-3-7-5
Vernon Philander's wonderful spell is done. Dale Steyn is back. So that's nice for New Zealand.
Steyn to Bracewell, no run, full outside off, swinging away, left alone
Steyn to Bracewell, no run, full on middle, straightens on Bracewell, worked to midwicket
Steyn to Bracewell, OUT, what a delivery! And what a way to get your 300th Test wicket. Pitches on middle and hits off. The fast bowler's dream. Bracewell didn't help by playing to leg but it was a crackerjack ball.
DAJ Bracewell b Steyn 2 (13m 10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00
What a moment for Steyn. A champion fast bowler with a ball worthy of a milestone wicket. Would have removed better players than Bracewell. All out by lunch?
Newlands has given Steyn a standing ovation. He could add a few more wickets here.
Steyn to Patel, no run, ooh, full on middle and there's that away movement again but Patel is able to push to cover
Steyn to Patel, no run, goes past the outside edge and he actually missed it by miles as the ball swung fast and late
Steyn to Patel, no run, unplayable for a No. 9. On off stump, moves late past the outside edge of a prodding and poking Jeetan Patel. High-class over.
End of over 14 (wicket maiden) New Zealand 31/7
- JS Patel 0 (3b)
- DR Flynn 1 (13b)
- DW Steyn 5-1-17-1
- M Morkel 3-2-1-1
Morkel to Flynn, no run, round the wicket, beats the outside edge with a full ball which doesn't carry to de Villiers
"It is late at night here; should I open a beer or just go to sleep?" asks Alec in New Zealand. Beer, and lots of it. (Not that we condone heaving drinking, but at 31 for 7...)
Morkel to Flynn, no run, back of a length, defended square to point
Morkel to Flynn, no run, short ball outside off, Flynn arches back, down on his knees, and wasn't in much danger
Morkel to Flynn, 2 runs, full on leg stump, clipped sweetly backward of square wide of fine leg...flew past Elgar at backward short leg
Morkel to Flynn, no run, drives and gets beaten...that's a good length, drawing him forward into the loose shot
Morkel to Flynn, no run, back of a length, zips away from Flynn who is drawn into playing away from his body
End of over 15 (2 runs) New Zealand 33/7
- DR Flynn 3 (19b)
- JS Patel 0 (3b)
- M Morkel 4-2-3-1
- DW Steyn 5-1-17-1
Dale Steyn is joint third fastest to 300 wickets (61st Test) after Lillee and Muralitharan
Steyn to Patel, no run, down the leg side, goes for a flick but doesn't make contact
Steyn to Patel, 1 run, full on middle, Patel standing on leg and you could see all three stumps but he pushes into the covers
Steyn to Flynn, no run, goes for a pull but is early on the shot and is taken in the stomach...that will hurt
Steyn to Flynn, no run, gone?! Nope. First sight it looked like an outside edge to slip but the ball had gone past the inside edge and taken the back leg
Steyn to Flynn, no run, close! Now he nearly picks out a close cover as he tries to play a forcing drive off the back foot
Steyn to Flynn, no run, full on off stump, Flynn gets forward and defends towards mid-off
SP says: "Graeme Smith said after the toss that he wasn't sure whether he should've batted or bowled in the first session today. Now he can do both!"
End of over 16 (1 run) New Zealand 34/7
- DR Flynn 3 (23b)
- JS Patel 1 (5b)
- DW Steyn 6-1-18-1
- M Morkel 4-2-3-1
Morkel to Patel, no run, good bouncer, follows Patel as he sways out of the line and doesn't pass very far away from the gloves
Morkel to Patel, FOUR, slapped...a good length delivery, Patel gives himself a touch of room by clearing his left leg and clubbed it through the off side
Morkel to Patel, no run, backing to the leg side again, this time it's a full delivery and he punches it back to Morkel...doesn't seem too keen to get in line
Morkel to Patel, OUT, what a catch! Patel didn't look like lasting long and he's fallen in spectacular fashion. Patel gave himself room to drive a full delivery, connected cleanly but struck it within reach of Amla at a close mid-off and he flung himself full length to his left to take a stunning grab
JS Patel c Amla b Morkel 5 (15m 9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 55.55
Carnage, just carnage. Happy New Year, New Zealand. Their lowest total against South Africa is 79.
Morkel to Boult, 1 run, on off stump, defended square into the off side and there are plenty of open spaces
Morkel to Flynn, (no ball) FOUR, round the wicket and he oversteps then Flynn cracks a wide delivery through the covers
Morkel to Flynn, no run, a very short bouncer and it is speared down the leg side, but it keeps Flynn off the strike

Steyn to Boult, no run, full with late swing and flies past the outside edge
Steyn to Boult, no run, crab-like across the crease from Boult who then fishes at a full delivery without being in the same postcode
Steyn to Boult, no run, three-in-three past the outside edge. Three strikes, but he's just about not out
Steyn to Boult, no run, now he stops trying to get in line, steps way outside leg then attempts to heave this through the leg side...the ball swung past off stump
No fielder in front of square on the leg side
Steyn to Boult, no run, goes for the yorker, targets leg stump, Boult moves to leg and manages to squeeze it to mid-off
"New Zealand looked like a bad team on paper, the reality is so much worse," says Craig. "The only good news is New Zealand will have to work hard to produce a worse performance."
Steyn to Boult, no run, moves right across the crease and exposes leg stump, but Steyn fires this down the leg side
End of over 18 (maiden) New Zealand 44/8

- DW Steyn 7-2-18-1
- M Morkel 5-2-13-2
Morkel to Flynn, 1 run, full outside off, driven square to the deep point fielder...at deep point at 44 for 8. I know they want to bowl at Boult, but still.
Morkel to Boult, no run, good short ball which follows Boult as he flaps at it with bat and gloves in front of his face
Morkel to Boult, OUT, predictable end...short-of-a-length ball and Boult stepped away to leg to try and carve it over the off side but only gets a top edge to de Villiers. A dark day for New Zealand
TA Boult c †de Villiers b Morkel 1 (10m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.11

Wayne: "We were joking before the start that NZ would last 1 session, SA bat for the 2nd & declare ... we would then be all out in the last session meaning we lost in 1 day ... hmmm" Think South Africa will bat two days if they can.
Steyn to Flynn, no run, the batsman moves away outside leg and Steyn sends this wide outside off stump
Steyn to Flynn, OUT, all over! 45 all out. Banged in short, Flynn goes for the pull and gets a top edge which Steyn settles underneath from his follow through
DR Flynn c & b Steyn 8 (72m 28b 1x4 0x6) SR: 28.57
Here come Graeme Smith and Alvrio Petersen. Trent Boult, the left-armer, will bowl the first over...
12.15pm Wimpie says: "Instead of saying 'No run' for every dot ball you could almost have said 'Not out'." South Africa's innings will start in a few moments
Here's Evan: "Is anyone else from NZ thinking that Roscoe wouldn't have batted first in this situation, if he was still captain? (I don't blame him for turning it down, coz Hesson seems like a bit of a plonker, I'm just saying, is all...)."
Incredible from South Africa. Feeble from New Zealand. They didn't bat out their 20 overs. Oh, it's a Test match. We knew things were bad for the visitors, but this is on a whole new level. Skittled in less than a session. Far too easy for the home side. Are the Aussies out there feeling a little better? Sorry, couldn't resist.
"The Phantom deprived of a golden chance to be the highest scorer in an innings," says Rag. "Yet again."
Here's a list of lowest Test totals. Meanwhile, South Africa's openers will have that awkward little session before an interval...that interval being lunch on day one. I'm having flashbacks to this Test in 2005, also at Newlands.
- Overs 0-50

Shooting A 223 Rifle To A Mile Accurately
Shooting A 223 Rifle To A Mile Accurately
By Jerry Teo
223 To A Mile
This long range 223 rifle project began last year after some very heated debates on a couple of shooting forums. The general consensus was that it is impossible, a huge waste of time and I was a little bit off my rocker.
Sounded like a nice challenge to me.
The quest is simple, can I get a 223 rifle using new high BC bullets to reach out to a mile (1760yds) AND arrive accurately (initial goal was 2MOA or less). Felt that hitting a 55 gallon drum sized target would be doable.
Dumping 223 bullets all over a hillside doesn't constitute much of anything except a huge waste of time and components.
Since I was going to build an 223 F(TR) rifle anyway, I figured this would be a fun addition to my rifle project. To add more spice to my quest, I wanted to do this as inexpensively as possible so others could have fun too.
As I have done in the past, the rifle is based on a Stevens 200 in 223. About as inexpensive an action as you can get that still has great accuracy potential. Just about everything was stripped off it except the recoil lug. The trigger group was replaced with a Rifle Basix 2 set at a few ounces.
The rifle stock is a Choate Ultimate Varminter I got off an exchange forum. The action was properly bedded which required some building up under the barrel nut. Ballast was added to the rear of the stock to improve balance. The forend was widened to help ride my pedestal rest bags better.
The 223 rifle barrel was a prethreaded, prechambered Pac Nor. The first barrel was a CM base match model with polygonal rifling. Didn't shoot too good and was off to a new home.
The second is a 223 SS Super Match, 5R, 7 twist 1" no taper 28" finished that has shot superbly in my 223 rifle. I am sure that an 8 twist and more conventional rifling would have worked just as well. This 5R barrel was in the inventory which sped up delivery.
The machining and chambering were very well done. No fancy smithing was done to the Stevens. I simply screwed the new 223 barrel on the rifle while working at my reloading bench. I knew that for long range work, the best accuracy was demanded. 1/2 min at 200yds was a minimum but less is always better. Vertical dispersion was also critical to get rid of. I was hoping for a 1/4 min vertical and 1/2 min horizontal - groups would look like sideways footballs.
Working with 80gr 223 Amax and Berger VLD's, I found that Varget, lit by CCI 450 primers, in Lee collet sized Win brass got the job done. At 200yds, the 223 Amax was hovering at 1/4min and the Bergers would get the occasional group MUCH less.
The smallest test load with the Bergers in my 223 rifle is also the smallest group I have ever shot at 200yds. Three rounds into 0.056". Yep, the barrel is a shooter.
I also tested 75gr Amax as this is a 223 bullet that many factory rifle barrels with a true 9 twist can stabilize. Savage/Stevens being the most popular.
Here is a pic on my portable, and slightly wobbly, bench. Please note the uphill angle of the rifle needed to reach out and up into the target hillside.
Once short range testing was done, the real rifle test began. How would these 223 bullets behave at distances where they would approach the transonic speed range?
The root to much of the criticism on this project is a belief that rifle bullets are most accurate/only accurate ABOVE the speed of sound. Once a bullet enters the transonic/subsonic speed range, it can experience some turbulence which disrupts its stability and causes it to diverge from the intended path, ie, it starts to tumble!
This can be graphically demonstrated by such bullets as the 168gr MK out of a 308. Does wonderful things our side of 1000yds. A rifle bullet with a long history of tumbling once it goes subsonic.
I will not get into the college math required but feedback from rocket scientists (they really are) on sites like benchrestcentral.com, have analyzed this topic with some super high tech equipment and tell us there is no transonic shock wave.
The bullet hits no wall or turbulence when it goes below the speed of sound. However, the aerodynamics of the rifle bullet does change as the air acts differently on the rifle bullet at slower speeds.
As a bullet slows down, the aerodynamic balance point of the bullet changes and some do become unstable. Others however, continue on their merry way without missing a beat.
Increasing the twist rate to increase spin stability is NOT a solution. They say that once a bullet leaves the muzzle with enough rotational stability to make it the first several hundred yards, it has more than enough to reach out beyond the speed of sound. In fact, the math suggests that spin stability actually increases as a bullet slows.

Featuring hospital and health care headlines from the media and the Web.
Iowa News
Branstad is firm on opposing idea to grow Medicaid
The Republican governor has long raised doubts about President Barack Obama's plan to expand Medicaid, which now generally doesn't cover poor adults who lack minor children or serious disabilities. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that the federal government can't force states to accept such people into the joint federal and state program. Branstad says he doesn't believe the federal government has the resources to expand Medicaid. (Des Moines Register)
Mental health re-design creates uncertainty for area providers
With Iowa's $1.3 billion in mental health services programs slated to undergo major changes in the coming year, some local mental health providers are facing a level of uncertainty regarding the future of area programs. State legislators have proposed streamlined programs and administration for all 99 counties, with some tenets now in effect as of Sunday. (Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune)
Counties take regional approach to mental health, disabilities
A consortium of counties in northeast and north-central Iowa are already well down the road to meeting the needs of residents with mental disabilities, as the rest of the state begins to consolidate services into a regional delivery system. "I think it puts us in a very good position," said Bob Lincoln, a Floyd County official who has been involved with a multicounty approach to mental-health service delivery. (North Iowa Today/Cedar Rapids Gazette)
County's arrogance could hurt those in need
A recent story highlights a consortium of counties in northeast and north-central Iowa working together to comply with a new law that redesigns Iowa's county-based mental health system. It's a system officials in those counties believe puts them "in a very good position." Yet, when contacted by the Journal late last week, Woodbury County Social Services Director Patty Erickson Puttmann wanted no part of such a model. Maybe a consortium won't ultimately work, but should we dismiss it so easily? (Sioux City Journal)
Genesis, Mercy-Clinton announce partnership
Genesis Health System and Mercy Medical Center, Clinton, announced a partnership to provide increased access to primary care doctors for residents of the greater Clinton area. The newly formed Mercy Medical Group will provide residents of Clinton County in Iowa and Whiteside and Carroll counties in Illinois with an expanded network of physicians and health-care professionals. (Quad-City Times)
National News
Poll shows Americans want battles over health care law to stop
Fifty-six percent of Americans believe opponents of the law should "stop trying to block its implementation and instead move on to other national problems," according to the poll by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation. By contrast, just 38 percent said those opposed to the Affordable Care Act should "continue trying to block the law from being implemented." The survey of 1,239 adults—conducted over three days following the Supreme Court's historic decision last Thursday—did not pick up major changes in Americans' overall view of the sweeping legislation that Obama signed in 2010. (Los Angeles Times)
More legal challenges to ACA on way
The Supreme Court lawsuit isn't the end of the legal challenges to the health care law — and the next ones just might help Republicans keep pushing their favorite political hot buttons. The next wave of lawsuits likely wouldn't put the whole law at stake, as the challenge to the individual mandate could have. But they're going after pieces of the law that happen to be red meat for many conservative voters — like the law's contraception mandate and a new Medicare panel that Republicans call a "rationing board." (Politico)
Consumer Reports rates hospital safety
The spotlight on hospital-caused patient harm has become a bit brighter with the launch of Consumer Reports' hospital safety ratings, which uses several different measures than the Leapfrog Group's recent and controversial hospital letter grades, and reaches opposite conclusions about many facilities. The CU rating system, featured in the magazine's August issue, rates hospitals in six categories. (HealthLeaders Media)
Why health spending trend matters
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared President Barack Obama's health-care initiative constitutional, the next health policy move awaits the outcome of the November elections. But the U.S. health-care system isn't waiting. It continues to evolve, sometimes in unanticipated ways. Here's one: For the past couple of years, U.S. health-care spending has been growing at a surprisingly slow pace. (Wall Street Journal)
Should we expand imperfect treatments, or create new ones?
We will need to ask ourselves whether medicine—both clinical practice and scientific research—should focus on the development of novel treatments or instead on ensuring that existing treatments are effectively used. Health should be thought of as a function of two attributes: potential health—a matter of identifying the best medical outcome available—and attained health, or how close we come to achieving this goal. When advocates of attained health survey the landscape, they see an appalling misallocation of resources. They see a lot of money being used—in both research and practice—to produce what are often only slight advances at best in potential health. (The Atlantic)

TALX (The Employment and Income Verification System) at NIH
In conjunction with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Office of Human Resources (OHR) at NIH is pleased to announce the launch of TALX – Your Secure One Stop Solution to Employment and Income Verification.
On June 4, 2012, TALX was implemented at NIH. TALX The Work Number® provides a secure way for verifiers to obtain your employment information. TALX is widely used by mortgage lenders, banks, leasing companies, and others to verify proof of employment and income of employees. It is quick, simple, and efficient, and speeds up the credit/loan application process.
You must give someone authorization to get your income information from the service. There are numerous ways in which you can give someone authorization to access your income information such as by signing a borrower's authorization form when applying for a loan.
This verification system uses a 128-bit SSL encryption in all of the account areas where personal information is being exchanged. In addition, they have a detailed privacy policy that reviews what they do, and more importantly, what they do not do with information they gather while someone is using the phone system or website.
How it Works?
This automated service provides quick and easy access to employment information. No more need for faxing, mailing, or phone-calling that slows down the closing of loans or other employee business that requires a verification of employment. Now, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, employers can pick up the phone or log onto the web to verify this employment and salary information.
TALX The Work Number® does not replace current processes and only provides employment and income verification for civilian federal employees (not Fellows or Commission Corps). If you are a Fellow, please contact the appropriate supervisor or Program Office (administrative support) for verification. Commission Corps will follow their usual verification of employment and income.
NIH employees can use TALX The Work Number® in three easy steps:
- Authorize the verification by completing the verifier's (lender's, bank, etc.) authorization form.
- Provide the verifier with:
- TALX The Work Number® access options - http://www.theworknumber.com/ or 1-800-367-5690
- HHS Employer Code: 14775
- Salary Key (if needed). Employee Login will be required
- Sit back and relax!
Employee Login
When you try to access the TALX system as an employee, you will be asked to enter a User id and a Pin.
- Your user id: is your full SSN (without the (-))
- Your initial pin is: last 4 digits of SSN + Full Birth Year (example 12341953)
You will be prompt to enroll in the Enhanced Security or Risk Based Authentication. This is mandatory and must be completed in order to use the system.
Key Advantages for Employees
- Quick/Simple – Secure Automated verification service
- Time Efficient – Speeds up credit/loan application process
- Verify Anytime/Anywhere – Accessible 24 hours a day/7 days a week
- Widely used by most companies
- No cost to employees ***
*** Please note that TALX charges fees to verifiers. However because many lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies, that required HR verification are already subscribed to TALX, it is rare that such verifiers will pass on the charges to an HHS employee. If a verifier decides to pass on the charges to an employee, HHS has an agreement with TALX to reimburse the employee for the verification fees.
NIH employees who have been charged for a verification can contact HR System Solutions for steps to get reimbursed.

Goodbye sweet trend
- Posted by hcpg
- on March 28th, 2014
What a week. For the first time in a long time (December 2012) the bulls were not able to defend the line:
One of the most pertinent signs of the waning power of bulls is how long relief rallies can last — from a few months, to weeks, to days, and now only intraday. QQQ gave a strong start of a reaction this morning only to be faded and close at the lows UNDER the 20sma weekly. Goodbye sweet trend, it was nice knowing you.
At some point next week we imagine we will go over the line again but the more we test it, the flatter and more irrelevant it becomes. However do note that the 20sma is quite ascending so it's quite possible that we will go above it and go back and forth a few more times and thus flattening it, before breaking it down definitively.
Today's fade wasn't a huge surprise as biotech was weak right from the get go. As we posted at noon with $QQQ still at the highs "IBB is saying — enjoy the relief rally but I am your truth".
Big break of the 20sma weekly — look how smooth this trend had been from 2012. RIP weekly 20sma 2012-2014.
The question whether the trend for hot money (momentum darling and biotech) has changed is not on the table anymore — it has. The question now is whether we will keep seeing rotation into commodities, especially oils, or whether the tech correction will pull the rest of the market down with it.
$XOM indicative of where the hot money is rotating into — big bad beautiful breakout here at 96.
And $XLE proudly hitting new year highs today as momentum money sags.
What's our plan? We had a partial $QQQ rider that we were stopped out of on the fade and are going home flat. Our mistake was not swinging long $XOM yesterday (a breakout that we had been stalking in our newsletter for days) and instead focusing on getting the bounce on QQQ. As we posted on Thursday we knew the bulls would at least try to bounce it over the weekly 20sma and they did — what was surprising was how short-lived it was.
Going forward we will be shifting our focus to commodities and see what sets up there while still trading the oversold tech stocks (will do that until it stops working). No oil stock is ever as fun as trading a Musk stock ($SCTY $TSLA our favorite stocks to trade) but it is what it is — of course the goal of the job is not fun and games but consistently pulling money from the market. And for us the path of least resistance to do that is to follow the trends, even if it is in some old grandpa stocks.
Market is just getting interesting, stay smart and whatever you do, don't get stubborn.

Same ammo for back up as I carry. These may or may not be the same manufacturer or same bullet, but they are JHP's and usually of the same weight bullets. I feel no good reason to carry range ammo or hardball for defensive purposes myself.
This is a discussion on Your Back-up Ammo..SAME? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My wife and I load our concealed carry with JHP SELF DEFENSE rounds. As back-up (extra rounds) ammo, my wife carries 158 gr. FMJ for ...
My wife and I load our concealed carry with JHP SELF DEFENSE rounds. As back-up (extra rounds) ammo, my wife carries 158 gr. FMJ for her .38 spl., and I carry 125 gr. JSP in .357 mag. I figure if we are ever in a situation where we were to go through our SD ammo, we would be in some deep poo-poo, therefor we would want to defend ourselves with something that would have more penetrating ballistics. Use whatever scenario you want, I'm just curious if others carry back-up ammo different than their carry ammo, yes, no, why, or why not.
Same ammo for back up as I carry. These may or may not be the same manufacturer or same bullet, but they are JHP's and usually of the same weight bullets. I feel no good reason to carry range ammo or hardball for defensive purposes myself.
I also load the same SD ammo in my extra mag for whichever I'm carrying.

I don't generally carry two spare mags, but when I did, I would time to time load my second spare with 124 grain NATO FMJ in 9x19mm or 230 grain FMJ in .45 ACP. My carry ammunition in those chamberings is 124 grain Gold Dot +P in 9x19 and 230 grain Ranger T in .45 ACP.
As for revolvers, my current .38 Special carry load is the 135 grain +P Gold Dot, for which, AFAIK, there is no FMJ version in the same weight. I'm currently using the 125 grain Gold Dot in .357 Magnum. I don't think the .357 really needs extra penetration help in most cases, but I have been thinking about going to a heavier bullet, perhaps the 145 grain Silvertip. What I really want is a 158 grain LSWCHP at around 1100fps from my SP101 loaded in a magnum case, but I haven't been able to find a manufacturer that offers that.

I prefer to leave the FMJ for the range and "Stuff Hits the Fan" scenarios.

Fed. HST 124 +P
FMJ has no place on my person when I carry... I might switch up these 2 types of JHP, and maybe even have SXT in the pistol, but HST in the spare mag (not usually though). I just happen to have tested both these rounds the most with my carry pieces... I never carry FMJ in my gun or on my belt... FMJ is for range use only, IMO... Unless you're totally out of JHP, and the alternative to hardball is an empty gun, of course! In that scenario, you gotta do what you gotta do...
Oh, Fed 9BPLE 115 +P+ too - Another one I've run a lot of w/ out incident...
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -Albert Einstein
Handguns have minimal "stopping power" even with the best ammo. I load the best for stopping a criminal and I back it up with the same. TAKE NO CHANCES!
"Being PARANOID is just plain smart thinking when they are really out to get you!"
I carry the same ammo loaded in my EDC's in my back ups, magazines, speed strips, or speed loaders).
At the moment I have Gold Dots in the gun and Hydra Shocks in the spare mag, but that's only because of the current availability of ammo. If I had more Gold Dots they would be in both.
Always JHP's for carry though.
Not sure what the scenario would be where you would need FMJ for penetration in a self-defense situation, as long as we are talking 9mm/.38 Spl or larger. In .380 I load alternating FMJ and JHPs. Below .380 I would go all FMJ.
Body armor will stop FMJ pistol ammo, and JHPs penetrate auto sheet metal and glass fairly well.
So...why FMJ? I would just carry JHPs.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
I carry fmj in my back up mags. If I had a jam and somehow suvived, I prefer the feed and fire to the ballistics.
I suggest you give consideration to carrying .38 as you backup rounds so that in a pinch you could share with your wife.
When I was a LEO we were allowed to carry .357 in our duty weapon but had to carry .38 in our pouch so that we could share ammo with fellow officers who might be carrying a .38.

for a and b and getting some number. Then I compare this to the
number I have. Then I narrow down my possibilities for a and b, and
go through the process again. Does anyone know of a better way to do
this problem? Is there a way to have Mathematica compare each result
of the do loop to a given value, and given certain conditions spit out
an answer for a and b?
Hope that makes sense.

Stars take fashion risks at amped up Oscars
By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood amped up the lights and colors at the Oscars on Sunday as leading ladies like Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz and Zoe Saldana donned shimmering metallic gowns to celebrate the big night.
The red carpet had less of the restrained elegance of other awards shows this season, and more edgier -- and sometimes shocking -- choices.
"We saw a heightening of the glamour we've seen all awards season. For the Oscars, we saw actors pull out all the stops, taking hair, jewels and make-up to the next level," said Melissa Liebling-Goldberg of People Magazine's Stylewatch.com.
Style experts said stars took more risks, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, who wore a pale yellow Chanel, 1960s-inspired gown in silk charmeuse with exposed shoulders.
But some attempts misfired as in the case of Charlize Theron's light purple gown with ruching detail on the bodice reminiscent of a torpedo brassiere.
"People have held back, but now they want to have fun and want to escape," said Lawrence Zarian, TV Guide fashion expert, but he said some went too far.
"A lot of celebrities missed the mark," he said noting Theron looked like she had two hands holding her breasts.
Zarian also gave a thumbs down to Maggie Gyllenhaal's Dries Van Noten strapless blue and black patterned gown. Continued...

Noise exposure due to orthopaedic saws in simulated TKR surgery
Sydney, Sarah E., Lepp, Aaron J., Whitehouse, Sarah L., & Crawford, Ross W. (2007) Noise exposure due to orthopaedic saws in simulated TKR surgery. Journal of Arthroplasty, 22(8), pp. 1193-1197.
|PDF (96kB)
In some orthopaedic procedures, including total knee arthroplasty (TKA), surgeons are exposed to noise generated by powered instruments, with a risk of developing occupational hearing loss. A new saw design, the Stryker PrecisionTM system, has been developed which may reduce noise during TKA surgery. The new system was tested against a standard Stryker System-5 sagittal saw in simulated TKA surgery using porcine cadaveric femurs, and noise levels from the cuts were measured. The average noise level of the PrecisionTM system, LAeq=81.6dBA, was significantly lower than that of the System-5 saw, LAeq=88.9dBA (p=0.003). Calculated 8-hour values for both blade systems were within Health & Safety guidelines. It was concluded that the PrecisionTM system produced a lower risk of noise-induced hearing loss than the System-5 saw

2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Hello all -
I've never towed anything in my life. I need some pointers as well as questions answered here. Thanks for your help! I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit for reference...
1) I can't get the hitch cover off. I found the the 2 screws/nobs on the underside. I unscrew them and they pop out (they are spring loaded), but I can't pop the stupid thing off when I pull. Am I missing another latching mechanism somewhere? What is the process to remove this thing? I find nothing in the owners manual.
2). I'm towing a motorcycle trailer I'm renting from uhaul. What else do I need to buy besides what comes stock on the summit?
3). Anything else I need to know? Any pearls would be helpful.
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Re: Hitch Cover- I think that there were a few posts in the Exterior/ Interior/ Visual thread that had some photos or diagrams that showed the cover being removed by pulling outward and downward at a 45 deg. angle. There are some "push in" clips that hold it on in addition to the screw knobs.
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Thanks for the reply. Where are these additional clips? I looked 15 pages deep into that thread and couldn't find the thread you mention.
If anyone else has answers to my three questions I will be grateful. Thanks.
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Re: Hitch Cover- I googled Summit Hitch Cover and found 2 threads listed in Jeep Garage that discussed the cover, but no pictures or diagrams, and nothing in the Interior/ Exterior thread. I guess I have a Swiss Cheese brain. There are 4 pin style clips along the top edge holding the cover which need a good tug outward and downward @ 45* to remove.
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Before you pull out of Uhaul, make sure they show you correct hitch, hitch pin, safety chains, and either 4 pin or 7 pin wire connection to your rear bumper. Believe it or not, many have watched their trailer unhitch from the vehicle at highway speeds, a solid hitch connection is critical.
Also make sure your bike is tied down and laterally in a proper manner so it neither will launch from the trailer, or tilt over at speed.
Other suggestion is to practice in a wide open lot, both turning and perhaps reversing the trailer.
Otherwise, the WK2 is a tremendous tow vehicle, enjoy.
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
Ok, I can't find anything on how to get the hitch cover off on the 2014 summit. I undo the two spring loaded screws and pull out at a 45 degree angle and down with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions here? Help!
Re: 2014 Grand Cherokee Summit Towing ?'s
The top of the cover is held in place with tabs across the top of the cover. Once you have the bottom undone angle it out slightly and pull down. It is a very tight fit but it will let go without damage. It is very well done - better than my range rover. I have done it 2-3 times at the dealerahip to measure the height of the receiver.

Come support the Five Points Fight Team in action this Saturday, February 22nd. The always excellent TakeOn team has put together another outstanding event featuring Five Points fighters Cornell Ward and Brandice Peltier. They've been training like monsters…come out and show them some love!
Brandice faced the rough-and-ready Yanelisa Reyes of Coban's Muay Thai. From the opening bell Brandice dominated with her signature conditioning and classic technique, throwing both more and harder shots for the entire bout. Af the bell, it was BRANDICE BY UNANIMOUS DECISION.
The highly anticipated match between Cornell and Robinson was canceled due to a training injury (fractured rib). We look forward to seeing this match-up in the near future!

Advice needed for new adventure!
My first car in 1981 when I was 18 years old was a 1973 2002. I bought it from a doctor that had bought it new. I drove it until 1985 when I bought a new 325e.
When I bought the 325e in 1985 I stored the 2002 in one of my parent's garages. In the 27 years that the car has sat in that garage I doubt if the garage door has even been raised 20 times.
The car is in overall excellent condition. During the 2 years I drove it being I had a miror accident in it and at the time decided just to repaint the entire car. It has somewhere around 135,000 miles on it.
In the next few weeks I'm going to have it put on a flatbed and brought the 2 hours to where I live. After a few weeks of tinkering with it in my drive I'm going to find a very reputible mechanic to get her road worthy again.
Any advice anybody has for me is appreciated!
PS Yep. I still got the 85 as well. Its not been on the road since 1991. It was 52k on it. It's also in great shape. It will be my next project.

One of our most talked about core values is to treat each other like family. I've alluded to the friendship shared by the founding team, which has grown with everyone else we've hired. But when we struggled with the semantics of phrasing this core value, we found ourselves referring to each other not as friends but as "family."
We could strive to be a great sports team, or a corps like the marines or simply great friends. But it's the concept of family that resonated with who we really are and who we wanted to become.
When I'm not at Tiny Prints, there is no other place in this world that offers everything I need in life as well as home does. As a result, I'm passionate about having the very best home life possible. If we want that kind of passion in our culture, we knew we had to make Tiny Prints a different kind of family home, too.
"Is it an HR violation to want to have a company full of friends to work with? I sure hope not…"
There are many types of families. The Simpsons. The Corleones. The Kennedys. They're all different, so we didn't even try to define what the perfect family would look like. We knew we wanted to accept idiosyncrasies, dysfunction and differences of opinion. But also wanted to create a culture in which we care for each other, never compete with each other, treat each other with respect and value equality and integrity.
In doing so, we think friendships—true friendship—can be created. I have witnessed friendships form, and not just 9–5 work friendships—friendships turn into will-you-be-my-maid- of-honor, friendships that turn into travel companions, friendships that include standing Friday night dinner dates. Is it an HR violation to want to have a company full of friends to work with? I sure hope not, because I love having just that.
And not everyone in the family is a social butterfly, either. There are staffers who are just as dependable, who we feel just as close to us, but who happen to be private, shy or introverted. We wanted to make sure that those people thrive just as well as the most social family members in the company. And we found ways to make them feel like an important part of this family in their own quiet ways.
We are not the perfect family, and plenty of issues and dysfunction exist, I am sure of it. But by the stories I love to share about our gatherings, celebrations, parties, picnics and competitions, working fiercely together around a deadline and many other instances, I am genuinely proud of the family quality that thrives at Tiny Prints today.

Warren Buffett is not a man given to emotional displays. But he appeared genuinely moved recently when Barbara Dodd Anderson, the daughter of David Dodd, co-author with Benjamin Graham of ''Securities Analysis,'' presented him with her father's own copy of the first edition, with his annotations. This landmark 1930's book on value investing has been the basis for Mr. Buffett's strategy.
Mrs. Anderson made the presentation last month at the Columbia University Business School class on value investing once taught by Graham and then by Dodd, and now by Bruce Greenwald. Mr. Buffett, who lectures there every other year, recalled that Mrs. Anderson's father, a tenured professor at Columbia Business School when Mr. Buffett applied there, had helped him get in.
To illustrate how the book had become ingrained in his thinking, Mr. Buffett recalled that when he testified in the I.B.M. antitrust case, a lawyer for I.B.M. said Mr. Buffett contradicted a paragraph in the book. Mr. Buffett countered that the lawyer was citing the third edition, which had additional contributors, and that the paragraph was not in the first edition, which reflected only the work of Graham and Dodd.
Professor Greenwald said the idea had come from Mrs. Anderson, who lives near San Francisco but stays in touch with the business school through Catherine Murray, former director of development. GERALDINE FABRIKANTContinue reading the main story

I am, hopefully, a proud owner of a Sig P239 SAS 9MM.
Now I need to buy a holster for CC. Any suggestions?
This will be my primary CC during the cold months as I can wear a jacket. Really looking forward to taking this to the range.
My choices were a Glock 26 9MM; a XD Sub Compact 9MM; or the Sig. Out of the three, the Sig was most comfortable in my hand. A bit heavier than the others and maybe a bit longer, but the most comfortable. I sure hope I won't be sorry.

Jordanian actor Munther Rihana is not yet a big name in the world of Egyptian dramas but he's certainly working with some of the top stars [2] now that he landed himself a role in 'Khutoot Hamra' (Red Line.) He's been working with the likes of Ahmed El Sakka and Ahmed Riziq, both big names on the Egyptian small screen [3].
And Munther says so far it's a dream come true. The up and coming actor has been getting some excellent reviews for his performance but the Jordanian says he's just waiting for the drama critics to start laying into him.
The Jordanian actor said he loved working in Egypt, known as the Hollywood of the Arab world and was grateful to Egyptian actor and director, Ahmed El Sakka, for all his support. [4]

the only explanation for what's going on with me is spring fever - because a fat, middle-aged woman shouldn't have FOUR prospects.
of course, two of them have issues around them; i am pretty sure that one of them is married - you know how you just get a feeling? and the other is 44 and lives near where i grew up in Toronto - almost 2 hours away.
the other two? i met one 3.5 years ago when he was newly divorced and WAY too fragile to be dating again. he was very sweet (as i said above - yes, it's the one who seems to a nutter) but we've kept in touch and now he wants to see me again (which is why i think he's a nutter, but that's a story for another time). the other i met 2.5 years ago, but he has since lost his job and has had to go out to western Canada for months at a stretch.
these two have recently confessed that i'm the person they think about and want in their lives.
both of these men are *really* good-looking, the kind of men who *never* go out with women who look like me.
i don't get it!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hmm. This would not be the Beneteau 323 by any chance?
The specifications match the lift keel version exactly except for the dispacement being about 9975 on that version which has increased ballast over standard. It also shows sail area as 540.
In this case as with others all or the bulk of the ballast is probably in the lifting keel which would change my remarks as the righting moment would be better.
I did a detailed response a couple of days ago which appears to have got lost. This will be briefer.
You can ignore the polars except as general interest and to show the big difference the board down makes to windward ability vmg.
The capsize ratio is came in after the Fastnet disaster and is a rough guide. It essentially looks at beam in relation to displacement. Beam gives you initial stability ie resistance to healing from hull shape, but this then falls away. Ballast insofar as it puts the centre of gravity a distance d below the centre of buoyancy creates a righting moment. The further a mass eg keel weight is down the greater the righting moment as the two are multiplied. This righting moment as the boat goes over initially increasing then decreasing. You need to find the stability curves to see the angle of vanishing stability, which should be roughly 120-. standards vary on use, but essentially when the mast goes under you want it to self right.
The capsize ratio as a method is inadequate because it takes no account of where the weight is.
In your case I doubt that of the 3000 lb ballast it is all in the centreboard, and certainly not at the end of it. If it were then it would be impossible to retract any bulb and the draft would be deeper, secondly it would be very difficult to raise and would require some specialised hydraulic system. The whole structure would also have to be very strong to have that weight swinging around.
The ballast/displacement ratio is a little light at 29%. A blue water boat such as the Allied mk 2 would usually be around 35%.
Jeff H has argued in the past for lighter modern designs and against heavier traditional blue water boats. Certainly the former will have better light airs performance, but there remains disagreement on motion comfort in heavy weather.
However you are not seeking either a race boat, or an ocean cruiser, rather it seems a liveaboard, capable of short ocean trips where presumably you will take account of the weather ie short term as long term doesn't apply.
In that regard the displacement is some 4000 lb lighter than the Allied and 10,000 lb lighter than the Westsail of the same length. That doesn't seem excessively heavy. Further it is not always clear whether full tankage is included in the design weight. I have seen boats stated by the designer to be say 4 tons yet the owners say they are 6 and that is the registered weight which I have also seem miscalculated.
The sail area is not excessive and gives a sail area/displ of 19% which means she should be ok in light winds but is higher than the usual cruiser maximum.
For other boat comparisons and further help understanding the figures see http://www.image-ination.com/sailcalc.html.
In essence a centreboard has the advantage of shoal draft but to get a decent righting moment has to have greater ballast as this is higher. Yours is limited. I agree it is not a blue water boat, but don't feel the overall displacement is too high.
It, on the figures, as always, is not perfect as a liveaboard, racer, or blue water cruiser. It is also likely to be quite different from the 37'. How well it suits your needs depends on the specifics of the design and build and intended use. Others can guide you on this.
I'd have to agree with Cam...most Keel/centerboard boats don't have much weight in the centerboard, since the primary purpose of the centerboard is to help with windward performance. If it is a lifting keel design, with a bulb keel, then it is possible that the majority of the weight is concentrated at the end of the keel, but lifting keel design boats with bulb keels aren't all that common.
IIRC, the Tide28, which a 14 year-old boy sailed across the Atlantic earlier this year is a lifting keel design with a bulb. It was modified somewhat from stock for the trans-atlantic voyage. It has 500 lbs of ballast in a bulb at the bottom of the lifting keel.
|Umm...the 3000lbs ain't on the board unless it is a very unusual design...it is in the keel. What type of boat are you looking at?
I just got a confirmation that the 31" is with the retracted keel for hunting around the keys. It will extend down to 7' in deep water. with 3000 lbs hanging off of a 7' arm, won't that be good for righting and stability?
What type of ballast ratio should I be looking at?
|This does not look like an ideal offshore boat to me She appears to be overweight for her length and so would have pretty high drag, and to offset that you need a bit more drive, and that means lots of stability. This is a low ballast ratio carried in a shoal draft, which is not a good recipe for seaworthiness.
The first table appears to be what is referred to as the "polars" for the boat in question. It shows the the boat speed you can expect to achieve at a given windspeed (listed across the top) and a given relative true wind angle (the first column on the left.)
The second and third tables appear to show optimal upwind and downwind sailing angles for maximizing Velocity Made Good (VMG) for a given windspeed.
Compare these to the similar tables for your current boat to see how their performance differs.
I vote for a shower.
Boatbuilder Language
I am considering a liveaboard for myself in Texas later next fall. I have received two sets of information about a 37 footer and a 33 footer, but I have no idea how to compare them. this boat is similar to one I owned before, but I never had the chance to really get it into storms, nor sail it in saltwater.
Here's what I will be doing - I am singlehanding or shorthanding, living aboard, but also with frequent blue water passages to Cozumel or Grand Cayman from Texas. When I live aboard, I go places. I don't buy slips and sit for more than a week unless I'm looking like I will head towards a storm.
Could one of our local experts check this out and tell me if this is a suitable data sheet for a bluewater boat? If you could break it down "sesame street" style for me, that'd be wonderful too! the cabin is exactly what I need for a cruiser, water and fuel is ample, and it even has a shower, which is one thing I don't have now.
The keel can move up or down to suit shoals or reefs.
How do I figure righting ability of this boat? The one I am on now has a data sheet that says that over a factor of "2" is not desireable for ocean crossings, and it scored a 1.65. Is there a way to take this data and compare it with some sort of software to get another figure like this to see if having a fixed keel and no shower might be a better idea?
Thanks tons!

AKRON, Ohio -- University of Michigan wrestling sophomore/freshman Jake Salazar (Midway, Utah/Wasatch HS) captured the 74kg/163-pound freestyle title to headline the Wolverines' performance at the University Nationals last weekend (Sat-Sun., June 2-3) at the University of Akron Field House.
Salazar went 6-0 at the tournament, capping his performance with a 1-0, 1-0 decision against Lehigh's Eric Hess in the championship match. He converted on double-leg takedowns to secure both periods and the clinching point in the final 10 seconds of the second period.
Salazar provided Michigan its first University Nationals champion since Josh Churella won at 66kg/145.5 pounds in 2008. Churella went on to make the 2008 University World team and place seventh at the international event.
"I think Jake wrestled very solid," said assistant coach Donny Pritzlaff. "He didn't lose a period. He was attacking a lot more than we've seen him attack this year, and I think that was key to him winning. He just looked really solid and really strong. He stayed in good position, and he was competitive in all positions. It was a great weekend for him."
The Wolverines also boasted a pair of placewinners at the upperweights as junior/sophomore Dan Yates (Hesperia, Mich./Hesperia HS) took fifth place at 79kg/174 pounds and sophomore/freshman Max Huntley (Emerald Isle, N.C./Blair Academy) placed seventh at 96kg/211 pounds.
Yates posted an 8-1 record, reeling off six straight wins in the wrestlebacks after falling to two-time Maryland All-American and eventual champion Josh Asper in the second round. The Wolverine wrestler defeated Buffalo's John-Martin Cannon, 1-0, 0-1, 4-2, in the fifth-place contest. Yates used an early single leg and a late three-point chestlock to claim the third period.
Huntley went 5-2, bouncing back from a loss in the quarterfinals with a pair of consolation victories, including an 8-0, 0-2, 5-1 win over Josef Rau in the seventh-place contest. After a dominant first period, Huntley gave up a pair of pushouts to drop the second but rebounded in the third, scoring all five points in the final minute of the period, including a late pancake that put Rau on his back.
With their performances, Salazar and Yates qualified for the 2012 University World Team Trials, scheduled for August 17-18 in Colorado Springs, Colo. As a University Nationals champion, Salazar earned an automatic slot in the best-two-of-three final against the winner of the challenge tournament.
"For the most part, I was pretty pleased with the way our guys competed," said Pritzlaff. "Not many of them have extensive freestyle experience. It was 10 more guys than we brought to this tournament last year, so I think that's a step in the right direction. We had three placers. It was definitely something we can build off of. With the guys that didn't have success, we need to correct some things and make adjustments. But overall it was a good tournament."
