In the third busiest weekend of the year, R-rated releases "Ted" and "Magic Mike" easily found their adult audiences and surpassed expectations, with "Ted" earning a surprising $54 million in opening revenue and "Magic Mike" hauling in $39 million. Tyler Perry's "Madea's Witness Protection" also got off to a decent start with a $26 million opening intake, though inspirational drama "People Like Us" tanked and ended up barely cracking the top ten. The weekend was also the first that "The Avengers" failed to land in the top ten since its record-breaking opening at the beginning of May.
From Seth MacFarlane, the creator of hit TV series "Family Guy," "Ted" was expected to have a sizeable built-in audience when it launched over the weekend, though it blew past industry expectations with one of the most impressive openings of the year. With a production budget of just $50 million, "Ted" ended up with a studio estimated $54.1 million in opening revenue on an eye-popping per theater average of more than $16,000.
"Ted" also smashed the 2012 R-rated opening record of $40 million, which "Safe House" set back in February. With such an enormous opening weekend, "Ted" should easily surpass the $138 million in domestic revenue brought in by "21 Jump Street," which is the top R-rated hit of the year so far after dominating adult audiences in March and April. "Ted" should go on a similar run over the next few weekends and will very likely end up the top R-rated hit of the year.
While "Ted" posted an enormous opening weekend, "Magic Mike" was equally as impressive. From director Steven Soderbergh, known for the "Ocean's Eleven" trilogy and many indie films, "Magic Mike" looked like it had some commercial appeal over the weekend, but the Warner Brothers distribution shattered expectations and posted a $39.2 million opening despite playing at just under 3,000 venues. "Magic Mike" also carries a production budget of only $7 million, making it far and away the top opening weekend of the year for a low-budget release. The only other release close was "Think Like a Man," which cost $12 million to produce and hauled in $33 million in its opening weekend back in April.
For "Magic Mike" star Channing Tatum, 2012 also continues to be a career-turning year. After his releases "The Vow" and "21 Jump Street" were two of the biggest hits of the winter/spring, "Magic Mike" should give Tatum his third $100 million domestic earner of 2012. The critical support and surprising mainstream appeal of "Magic Mike" should also help it maintain its sway with audiences well into July.
Taking a backseat to "Ted" and "Magic Mike" was "Madea's Witness Protection," though Tyler Perry's latest comedy still hauled in a very solid $26 million at just 2,161 total venues. For Perry, $26 million is a fairly mundane opening, but a per theater average of more than $12,000 for a $20 million production is still outstanding. Like most Perry releases, "Witness Protection" should see a significant drop in the weekends following its release, though it still looks like another significant hit for one of the busiest writer/directors in the movies.
The only new release that failed to hit with its intended audience was drama "People Like Us," which brought in a disappointing $4.3 million at 2,055 theaters this weekend. With a per venue average that barely cracked $2,000, "People Like Us" clearly doesn't have any audience support and a light amount of critical backing isn't likely to change that in the coming weeks. "People Like Us" should see a drastic cut in screenings in the next few weekends and isn't likely to come close to the top ten for a second time.
The weekend was also likely the last time that PG-13 action-adventure "Snow White and the Huntsman" will land in the box office top ten after a so-so run since its early June opening. "Snow White" has done considerably better than "Mirror Mirror" at the box office, though a $145 million domestic intake isn't that strong for a $170 million production. While "Snow White" did break $300 million worldwide, expectations were quite a bit higher for the Universal distribution.
This week should be a very busy one as franchise reboot "The Amazing Spider-Man" reaches theaters in time for the Fourth of July. Hitting theaters this upcoming Tuesday, "Spider-Man" should put up enormous revenues thanks to holiday audiences and a high level of fan interest. Oliver Stone's R-rated thriller "Savages" will hit theaters a few days later as will music documentary "Katy Perry: Part of Me."
Early Studio Box Office Estimates for 6/29/12 - 7/1/12 (In Millions), [RTT Prediction]:
1. Ted (Universal): $54.10 [$33]
2. Magic Mike (Warner Brothers): $39.16 [$19]
3. Brave (Disney): $34.01 [$34]
4. Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (Lionsgate): $26.35 [$31]

Conductor bar is a safe and economical method to provide electric power to mobile equipment. We were the first to offer "8-bar" insulated conductor bar for crane electrification in the US back in 1952.
Now you can choose from six unique systems for virtually any need from 100 to 1500 amperes and more. We've manufactured the brands you have trusted for the past 60 years: Insul-8, Wampfler, and Saf-T-Bar - now part of the Conductix-Wampfler conductor bar family.
SAFE-LEC 2 ® V-Contact Conductor Bar System - the new standard in overhead crane electrification. SL 2 is ideal for monorail and material handling system electrification as well.
Safe-Lec 2 provides these great benefits:
Safe-Lec 2 is easy to install
Curved Systems:
60" minimum radius; factory curved
Current Capacity Range:
100 amps, 125 amps, 200 amps, 160 amps, 250 amps, 315 amps, and 400 amps capacities (600 volts max.)
Maximum Speed:
1,200 feet per minute (365.8 meters/minute)
The Conductix-Wampfler Hevi-Bar II Conductor Bar System delivers the kind of reliable, high-capacity crane rail electric service needed by factories, mills, storage yards, people movers, and other rigorous applications.
Hevi-Bar II features:
Current Capacity Range:
500 amps, 700 amps, 1000 amps, and 1500 amps, at 600 volts.
Maximum Running Speed:
2,000 feet/minute (609.6 meters/minute)
DURA-COAT - For Corrosive Environments
Hevi-Bar II is available with our optional DURA-COAT finish. Dura-Coat is a specially formulated coating that combines a ceramic compound with an epoxy binder to provide superior corrosion resistance and adhesion to the base materials. The entire bar is coated except in the stainless steel collector shoe running area; the insulating cover is applied over the coating.
All metal parts of the collector arm are coated. Arms are not coated as they are made from high-strength glass filled polymer.
DURA-COAT is an ideal conductor bar for galvanizing and electro-plating lines, chemical plants, smelters, foundries and cast houses, coke and ore handling cranes, and oxidizing/electro-winning facilities.
60 years ago Conductix-Wampfler, under the name Rucker Insul 8® Corporation, was the first to develop the original "8-Bar" electric conductor bar. This innovative design greatly improved the safety of overhead crane electrification. Since then, hundreds of miles of 8-Bar systems have been installed and are in use all over the world. It is truly the industry standard!
Conductix-Wampfler Insul 8® 8-Bar Systems are:
Current Capacity Range:
40 amp, 90 amp, 110 amp, 250 amp, 350 amp, and 500 amp capacities at 600 volts max.
Maximum Running Speed:
900 feet/minute (274.3 meters/minute)
Conductix-Wampfler Side Contact Conductor Bar is a variation of the 8-Bar system designed for lateral (side) entry of the collector. UL / CSA listed. Side Contact is ideal when there is insufficient room for standard "bottom entry" mounting and/orconductors must be more closely spaced than standard 8-Bar allows.
Side-Contact Conductor Bars:
Current Capacity Range:
40 amps, 90 amps, 110 amps, 250 amps, and 350 amps
Maximum Running Speed:
900 feet/minute (274.3 meters/minute)

This is the original Howell Corporation Saf-T-Bar® Series C conductor bar system. Bars are roll-formed of galvanized steel or copper/steel laminate (250A) or copper (300A and 350A). The "U" shaped contact surface ensures positive tracking of the collector shoe and ensures good contact throughout the travel of the system. The standard material is supplied in 10 ft lengths with all necessary joining hardware. Installation is simple and requires only a jointing tool to connect the rails.
Current Capacity Range:
90 amps, 110 amps, 250 amps, 300 amps, 350 amps
Maximum Running Speed:
900 feet/minute (274.3 meters/minute)

In wet and icy atmospheres, the system can be shielded with a protective hood for additional protection. In dirty and dusty atmospheres, mount the conductor in down-turned position (bottom entry - i.e. collector enters up into the bottom of the rail)
Insulating cover options:
This is the original Howell Corporation Saf-T-Bar T Series system. This system is unique to Conductix-Wampfler and features a captive collector concept resulting in an extremely compact system. The conductor bars are supplied with pre-mounted joints. Using the jointing tool, adjoining rails can be connected quickly and easily. Special spring collectors are constructed of a chromium-copper material which ensures optimized collector wear.
Current Capacity:
65 amps
TA65 Galvanized Steel Rail with Rigid PVC Insulation rated at 160°F
Other features:
Atmospheric Specifications:
Series T Saf-T-Bar is not recommended for dirty applications.

Public rituals were once performed in Congo Square, an open space inside Louis Armstrong Park just north of the French Quarter, and even today you can find a voodoo spiritual temple nearby where a modern-day priestess performs rituals.
Perhaps the most popular voodoo-related attraction sought by history-loving tourists of all kinds is the marked tomb of Marie Laveau, the city's famous "Voodoo Queen." On any given day you'll find tourists in spiritual meditation or simply gawking at all the graffiti and triple-X markings on her tall white tomb inside the walls of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. Each set of X's represents someone making a request in the fashion of an age-old voodoo ritual.
There's also a cornucopia of New Orleans hotels where the paranormal is considered normal, such as the Monteleone, where you can stay in a haunted room or ride an elevator that seems to have a mind of its own. In 2003, a team of paranormal researchers stayed in the hotel and allegedly confirmed contact with more than a dozen spirits.
The ghost of a confederate soldier is said to be an occasional guest at the newly opened Audubon Cottages; rumor has it he enjoys relaxing on the balcony of cottage No. 4, overlooking the pool.
Chills in Charleston, South Carolina
Chilling attractions in this historic port city include Civil War relics such as bloodied uniforms, an amputation kit and plenty of deadly weapons. It's all on permanent display at The Charleston Museum.
Imagine the fear of James Wiley Gibson, shot and killed by a sniper during the Battle of Secessionville. His uniform is part of the ongoing exhibit, complete with a fabric tear from the bullet's deadly path. If that doesn't make you shudder, have a look at the primitive tools and instruments of the Civil War amputation kit.
Be sure to stop by the Charleston Library Society, a downtown cultural hot spot where you're likely to find someone who's an expert on the city's darker side. If you're there in October, have a glance at the bloodstained manuscript of Henry Timrod. Known as the poet laureate of the Confederacy, this Charleston native produced passionate prose until his death in 1867. His final project was splattered with blood coughed up from the tuberculosis that killed him -- and the morbid page is on display every Halloween season.
The spirits of upstate New York
Fall paints the landscape of upstate New York with colors that lure leaf-peepers from around the world, but this vacation region is also home to a historic fictional intrigue. Thirty miles north of New York City, you'll find Sleepy Hollow, a village made famous by the legend that bears its name.

Type: Curriculum | ||
Black History month was first recognized in the United States in 1926. Dr. Carter G. Woodson began to document the history of African Americans. In so doing he demonstrated how African Americans were an integral part of American culture, economics and society. The Civil Rights movement that began as an effort to win equality for African Americans became the template for diversity and tolerance for all. Weston High School's theme for this year's Black History Month is 'Embracing Diversity through Music and the Spoken Word.' On February 24, a school-wide assembly presented High School students and invited guests performing a variety of musical styles and sharing their vision of diversity and acceptance through the spoken word. |

"LOOK IT'S A PUMBLOOM!" - Jon Jafari
everyone talks about the button pushing. i have one
on some "offiacial" cheat site, i found that if u press aba when the pokeball is open and putting the pokemon inside it will help. also a each time the pokeball moved. what doesnt help on the aba one is that it always works for me :/
Current Shiny Hunt:
Spoiler:- ABC Shiny Pokemon:
I tried something based on a rumour when I was really young on my Gold version, about resetting 250 times in front of Red's mother and then I would apparently receive a Mew. Of course, nothing happened, and I think at the time I expected as much to begin with, I was just a bored child with nothing better to do than debunk myths.
I heard a rumor that if you run around a legendary pokemon 101 times before battling it , it would be shiny....yeah i seriously believed it
However if you fight it and soft reset that number... times a thousand... it might be shiny.
"LOOK IT'S A PUMBLOOM!" - Jon Jafari
I remember in diamond and pearl there was this rumor about a city called Benco City, and in the city you could capture a Pokemon called Planthy.
Current Black 2 Team
I swear I use to think button mashing increased your chances of catching a pokemon... Even though I don't believe it anymore, I still find myself button mashing. Old habits die hard...
I remember talking about Charizards evolution, a black version named Charcoal. And I wasn't getting confused with the Shiny version, I thought it would actually evolve through a secret event...
I also used to belive almost any rumor to do with celebii/jirachi. Why are they not in game!?!

Just maybe.
Yeah, My neighbor had me convinced that "Black Charizard" was Charizard's evolved form at level 150. This was actually pre-G/S/C days, if I remember correctly.
At the time I was only 7 years old, and my highest-leveled Pokemon were my Pikachu and Zapdos on Yellow that were around level 90. I didn't have any level 100 Pokemon til I was much older playing Leafgreen.
Anyways, it does my heart good to hear that these rumors still exist. Let them have their innocence. It's only a matter of time before the truth squashes their little dreams.
Ask someone which character they liked best, Misty, May or Dawn and they said "Whos Misty" I WAS MAAAD!

My brother used to post a lot of fake rumors on websites. He posted ways to get Donphan in Blue version, the secret Silver Rhydon version, Green Gyarados and more.
Chespin! I Choose You!
When I was in second year my friend told me about the three secret stones in hoenn which can be found in certain stops in the towns or cities if you stayed on the same square long enough. One of the stones de-volved your Pokemon the other evolved your Pokemon no matter their levels or needs and I cant remember what the last one did but i think it was something like changing your Pokemon stats. He said this explained why trainers and wild Pokemon were in their evolved states before they reached their proper levels. He only mentioned it a couple of times and never said he found the stones so i can safely say that it was fake lol

Jackson County has been awarded federal funds under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. Jackson County will receive $6,453 for Phase 30 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the area.
The selection was made by a national board that is chaired by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, United Jewish Communities, Catholic Charities, USA, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and United Way of America. The local board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.
The local board is made up of members representing various non-profit affiliations such as the Ministerial Alliance, Southwest Oklahoma Community Action Group Inc., a community representative, and a local government official. This local board will determine how the funds awarded to Jackson County will be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service organizations in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program.
Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, have an accounting system, practice nondiscrimination, have demonstrated the capacity to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.
Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and shelter Program funds must contact Amy Reyes at Southwest Oklahoma Community Action Group, 900 S. Carver Road in Altus, 580-482-5040, for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is 12 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 20.

WAHOO, Neb. (AP) — Eric Otte was killing time shelling corn in the back of his red pickup during a break from work on a warm afternoon this week when a buddy who owns the car repair shop across the street came over to chat.
The conversation, as it eventually does here and everywhere else in this state, turned to Nebraska Cornhuskers football.
It's not all happy talk these days.
"This is my year where I'm deciding if I like where it's going because this is all of Bo's picks, all his recruiting," said Otte, a 24-year-old crop insurance adjuster. "This is the year where it will be figured out."
This is Bo Pelini's fifth season as head coach. No one disputes he cleaned up the mess Bill Callahan left behind.
Pelini has yet to win fewer than nine games in a year.
But he also has yet to lose fewer than four.
Twelve seasons have gone by without a conference championship for the proud Huskers, their longest such drought since 1941-62. And it's going on 11 years since Nebraska last played in a Bowl Championship Series game.
Judging by the tenor of fans on social media and radio shows — or in Otte's case, in the back of a pickup on Sixth Street in Wahoo — they're not willing to accept a new normal of nine- or 10-win seasons that end in second-tier bowl games.
They want the Huskers playing for the conference championship — every year — and in the national title conversation most years. Continued...
Asked what he would say to a fan base growing edgy, Pelini said: "What do you want me to say? I'm pretty edgy myself."
Tom Osborne, who retired from coaching in 1998 after three of his last four teams in Lincoln won national championships, hired Pelini shortly after becoming athletic director in 2007. Osborne, who announced his Jan. 1 retirement this week, declined an interview request for this story.
Lots of other folks are talking in this state of 1.8 million, in addition to fans around the nation, as 22nd-ranked Nebraska (3-1) heads into Saturday's Big Ten opener against two-time defending champion Wisconsin (3-1). The consensus is that last year's third-place finish in the Legends Division was a big disappointment.
This year they believe the Big Ten, based on its collective mediocrity the first month of the season, is there for the taking. A caller to an Omaha radio show this week suggested it would be a "colossal failure" if Nebraska doesn't win the conference.
Are the high expectations justified?
The Huskers' offense, for the most part, looks better than a year ago. But the defense is still a question mark. Nebraska surely doesn't stand out over any of the other teams mentioned as title contenders, not after its humiliating loss at UCLA the second week of the season.
Still, the fans are clamoring for Pelini to deliver.
"I try not to concern myself with what people think or say or anything else because that in the end can lead to me making bad decisions," Pelini said. "I do the best I possibly can, day in and day out, to run the best football program I can and make our football team the best I possibly can every single day. As long as I do that, and I can look myself in the mirror every night before I go to bed knowing I've done that, knowing I've done everything in my power, I can live with myself."
The state's passion for football dates back more than a century. Nebraska was the only team to beat Notre Dame and the Four Horsemen in the 1920s. Dana X. Bible built the Huskers into a Big Six power in the 1930s.
There were the bad years in the 1940s and '50s before Bob Devaney arrived in 1962 and raised the program's stature. Devaney won national championships in 1970 and '71, and the Huskers remained a fixture in the Top 10 under Osborne until he broke through with his national titles in the '90s. Continued...
From 1993-97, the Huskers won 60 of 63 games for the most dominant run in major-college football history.
Fans still pine for those glory days.
"People hang their hat and ego on the success of this football team," said 72-year-old Gary Mouden, a Lincoln native who attended his first game in 1945 (a 61-7 loss to Minnesota) and now is president of the Huskers' Las Vegas booster group.
Every home game for 50 years has been a sellout. Saturday's will be the 322nd in a row. Athletic administrators are counting on that streak continuing after Memorial Stadium's capacity grows from 81,000 to more than 90,000 next year.
Jason Peter, an All-America defensive lineman on the national championship teams of the '90s who has hosted radio shows in Omaha and Lincoln, said the fans' high expectations are the fuel that drives the program.
"That's why I am always pushing that you can never ever lower your standards," Peter said. "The standards were raised because of the '90s. You don't go backward. You don't accept anything less. If you do, you eventually become just another program."
And that's the fear, that Nebraska is just another program.
Ritchie Grala, a security supervisor for an Omaha business and a season ticket holder for six years, said he senses anxiety among the fans he knows.
Grala, 53, mentioned a tense exchange between defensive coordinator John Papuchis and a fan at a recent booster breakfast in Omaha. The fan suggested to Papuchis that the program's goals aren't as lofty since last year's move to the Big Ten. Papuchis strongly objected, saying the Huskers still shoot for national titles.
Grala said he wants the Huskers competing for national championships as much as the next guy. But he said fans should remember that if Nebraska doesn't win its division first and the conference second, it's almost impossible to win the national title. Continued...
"That 60-3 stretch, it's not going to happen," Grala said. "It's happening for Alabama right now, but how many teams is that happening for? We don't have everything cornered anymore like we did in the Big Eight when it was just us with Oklahoma. We're a Big Ten school now. The Rose Bowl is what we need to focus on. It's going to have to get accepted now. It's hard to win those games. The competition is big right now, I think."
Otte and his friend, Ryan Watts, said they like Pelini's fiery coaching style but reserve judgment on his recruiting ability.
Otte said his only knock against Pelini is that he doesn't sign a lot of homegrown high school players, the heart-and-soul kind who were the backbone of Osborne's teams.
Speaking of Osborne, Watts, 33, pointed out that it took time for Osborne to elevate the program. Osborne lost his first five games against Oklahoma and, feeling the pressure, almost left to take the Colorado job in 1978.
"We have a team that is better than a lot of others, like Iowa and Kansas," Watts said. "We should be feeling fortunate with what we have."
That said, what would be an acceptable outcome this season to Otte and Watts?
"Conference championship with a Rose Bowl," Otte said.

Ever wanted help getting a bully to back off? When it's time to even the odds, it's time for Bully Beatdown.
We're bringing together bullies and their victims for the ultimate showdown. Bullies can pick on the small and the weak, but can they handle a trained, professional fighter? When they enter the ring -- fighting for pride and for cash -- will these bullies have what it takes? Or will they get a taste of their own medicine?
In each episode of executive producer Mark Burnett's Bully Beatdown, victims reach out to our host, professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller, to enlist his help. After learning why this guy needs a beatdown, Mayhem will "ambush" the bully. Calling him out in front of others, Mayhem will give him a choice: accept the challenge of fighting a MMA fighter or look like a coward.
With the fight set, Mayhem makes sure the victims and the bullies get what they deserve. The bully gets the real experience of what it's like to fight someone who is more than capable of fighting back, along with the nervous fear that comes from waiting for the big fight. For the victims, it's the satisfaction of seeing their bully face someone who can make him suffer for his past actions.
Fight rules are simple: There are two rounds of fighting with up to $10,000 at stake for each newly extended five-minute round. Round 1 involves grappling and submissions; The Bully starts the round with $5,000, but will lose $1,000 every time he "taps out." If at any time the bully manages to submit the MMA fighter, the bully wins an additional $5,000 bonus. Round 2 is all about kickboxing; the bully will win another $5,000 if he can survive five minutes of kickboxing with the MMA fighter without getting knocked out. If the bully gets knocked out, quits or the referee stops the fight before the end of the round, he gets nothing. If the bully manages to knock out the MMA fighter, he gets a $5,000 bonus. Any money deducted from the bully in either Round 1 or Round 2 will go to the victims and we will bring you closer to the action than ever before with Big John McCarthy's ref-cam catching every excruciating punch, kick, and body slam inflicted upon our bully.
At the end of show, Mayhem calculates the winnings and tells the bully how much he has lost and how much is going to his victims. After the fight is over, one would hope that the bully will have learned a valuable lesson and will stop picking on people smaller and weaker than him. Will he change his ways? Or, someday in the future, will he need another Bully Beatdown?

The overconfident Flying LemurOne morning, a small male struthioguin was sitting by his nest and guarding his eggs while his mate went searching for food. The male waited patiently for his mate to return, but suddenly, a flying lemur glided down right in front him, starring hungrily at the eggs. The struthioguin was just about to charge at the winged mammal, but then, he came up with an clever idea. "So you're planning to steal my eggs, eh?" Said the struthioguin.

Chapter 1: | A Global, Low-Cost Network Thrives |
Mobile Devices Seen as Key to Global Connection
Hal Varian, dean of the School of Information Management and Systems at the University of California–Berkeley and a Google researcher, generally agrees with the scenario. "I think this could easily happen," he wrote. "Of course, some of the mobile access could be shared access (à la Grameen Phone) but, even so, I would guess that most people in the world could get on the network if they really wanted to by 2020." John Browning, cofounder of First Tuesday and a writer for The Economist, Wired, and other technology/economics publications, sees many improvements in networking and devices in the next 15 years. "[The system won't be] perfected and perfectly smooth, but certainly more, better, and deeper than today," he wrote. "The biggest change will come from widespread and reliable identification in and via mobile devices. The biggest source of friction will be copyright enforcement and digital rights management. There will be much innovation in devices to match form and function, media, and messages."
Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, wrote, "The infrastructure for low-cost communications will be in place. Consumer products, particularly electronics, will be very cheap. But there will be widespread Net 'brown outs,' and gossip and advertising will overwhelm news and public debate."
—Jeffrey Branzburg, educational consultant for National Urban Alliance, Center for Applied Technologies in Education, and other groups
Michael Reilly of GLO-BAL-WRITERS, Baronet Media LLC, predicted that "mobile technologies facilitated by satellite" will reach out to all people.

World Cup Boks out of Currie Cup
9 May 2006
Players on the 2007 national squad shortlist will only play Currie Cup rugby again in 2008.
SA Rugby Union's manager of national teams Andy Marinos confirmed that the players would be withdrawn from this year and next year's domestic competition.
The World Cup candidates will only play in the 2007 Super 14 — and then they will be used sparingly.
"We have agreed with the various unions that the players will be their responsibility for the entire Super 14 campaign. After the Super 14 the players contracts with SA Rugby become effective meaning that they will be our responsibility from there on,†Marinos said.
Players could be released to play for their unions at the discretion of Bok coach Jake White.
"In essence this means that the players will be with the Springboks for the incoming tours and Tri-Nations and certain players will have to be rested afterwards. Not all the players will
be rested but some especially those that the coach feels need time off,†said Marinos.
White is expected to name a squad of 45 at the weekend, but it is unlikely that the provinces will allow for 45 players to miss the domestic competition. It could be that the leading 20 Boks are excempt and the remaining 25 play sporadically.
The World Cup Springboks in 2003 also missed the entire Currie Cup, although it did little for their prospects as they crashed out in the quarter-finals.

Especially the part about the CC being nothing more than a glorified Vodacom Cup.

10 May 2006, 16:08 pmI noticed the posting about how the SHARKS will shape without, AJ, SMIT, SOLLY,RUSSEL, PERCY.
Solly: cant get a game for the sahrks = no loss
AJ : YES a loss, but there is plenty of cover
SMIT: the way he is throwing the ball into the lineout, NOT a loss, but plenty of cover in this position. Now for jenneke to make his mark in SA rugby
Percy:NO LOSS, not playing the greatest rugby, very quiet.Pietersen for fullback
The Currie CUP is coming back to durbs & this will piss NAAS off big time + a lot of BULLS supporters.
11 May 2006, 11:24 amLondonshark –
My point was not that Brits must switch to centre, but the mere fact that he is currently the best hooker in SA and he won't even be in the Bok squad, never mind the starting line up.
Regarding my jibe at De Wet Barry – I just happen to think that he is one of the poorer centres currently playing Super 14 & International rugby. He doesn't have pace, he can't catch, doesn't send the quality ball down the backline and consistently concedes penalties for high/dangerous tackles. Admittedly Barry is not great, but the prize for "The Most Useless Centre ever to have gained Springbok Colours†has to be reserved for one man, and one man only – WAYNE JULIES.

1. | social butterfly | ||
Someone who is VERY social and easygoing; can be either a male or a female. Usually these people don't belong to a particular group, but rather jump from one group to another. They are somewhat accepted in all of them, but don't really have any deep friendship connections in any of them. V: "I've been a real "social butterfly" this past Friday… I hanged out with 5 different groups of friends in one night.
D: "Oh wow!! How did you manage that?" |
2. | Social Butterfly | ||
It's a word/title that is usually used to describe someone that is popular. Often times those people are friendly or pretty, but it is not always the case. It is not always used to describe popularity alone, it could also be describing someone who is friendly to strangers. Typically a word used to describe females. Kerry is definitely a social butterfly. She's got friends everywhere.
3. | Social Butterfly | ||
"Oh Look , She Is The Biggest Social Butterfly , I've Seen In My Life"
4. | social butterfly | ||
A nicer way to say 'playa/player'.
A person who flirts with many people, can easily fit into any environment and does not look for long-term relationships. Girl: He's a bit of a social butterfly
Boyfriend: Oooooh, I want to be like him! Girl: You do know it means he's a playaa.... Boy:... |
5. | Social Butterfly | ||
Someone who befriends someone but then runs off as soon as someone cooler comes along. Person #1: Wow, Katie seems really cool.
Person #2: Stay away from her - she's a total social butterfly |
6. | social butterfly | ||
someone who flirts alot and is somewhat easy, could also be known as a slut, normally used by elders that want to be nice in the way they talk about that girl that you brought home last night, or the one that there glad your just friends with wow i'm so glad you turned her down man, my dad said shes quite a social butterfly.. haha.. you know what that means

Just when the Los Angeles Lakers were picking up some momentum, another injury to one of their stars is threatening to knock them back off course. The Lakers could be without Kobe Bryant when they continue their road trip at the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Bryant suffered a severe left ankle sprain on his last shot of Wednesday's loss at Atlanta and left the arena with a limp after being ruled out indefinitely.Los Angeles is only a half-game up on the Utah Jazz for the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference standings and had won four straight before falling 96-92 to the Hawks on Wednesday. The Pacers are in second place in the Eastern Conference and have won four of their last six after easily stomping Minnesota on Wednesday. Bryant would have had to contend with Lance Stephenson on the perimeter but now Indiana can pack the inside and use Roy Hibbert and David West to slow Dwight Howard.TV: 7 p.m. ET, TWSN (Los Angeles), FSIN (Indiana)ABOUT THE LAKERS (34-32): Bryant was upset following the game on Wednesday, calling the play on which he was injured dangerous because Atlanta's Dahntay Jones ran underneath the star guard while he was in the air. Bryant came down on Jones' foot and stayed on the ground until being helped off by trainers. Los Angeles is ending its road trip with the Pacers and might be able to scrape by without its leading scorer thanks to a schedule that spreads five games over the next 12 days and includes dates with sub-.500 teams like Phoenix, Sacramento and Washington. Bryant had been playing his best basketball of late, averaging 31.6 points over the last 11 games as the team went 8-3. He went for 40 points and 10 rebounds on Nov. 27, but the Lakers still dropped a 79-77 decision at home to Indiana.ABOUT THE PACERS (40-24): Indiana leads the NBA in rebounding behind Hibbert and West and has not allowed an opponent to reach 100 points in regulation at home since a 114-103 win over the Hawks on Feb. 5. Hibbert has posted three double-doubles in the last five games and is coming off a season-high 27 points in Wednesday's 107-91 win over Minnesota. He was limited to 18 minutes due to foul trouble in the first meeting with Los Angeles, leaving West to do the bulk of the work with 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. West is shooting 72.2 percent in the last two games and is averaging 9.3 rebounds this month as the Pacers have moved ahead of the New York Knicks for second place in the East.BUZZER BEATERS1. The Lakers will likely start G Jodie Meeks in Bryant's spot.2. The visiting team has taken four straight and five of the last six in the series.3. Indiana F Danny Granger (sore right knee) is not expected to play on Friday.PREDICTION: Pacers 96, Lakers 88

Proper use of Strong Acting Herbs I. Wu Zhu Yu (Evodia)
by Subhuti Dharmananda
Evodia refers to the Chinese herb wuzhuyu, the immature (nearly ripe) fruit with stems removed from Evodia rutaecarpa. The herb is one of the few classified in traditional Chinese medicine as hot in nature, and some texts indicate that it is "extremely hot (Hsu, et. al., 1986). While the description of hotness is primarily from the effect the herb has on the tongue, herbs with this property are said to dispel internal coldness, a type of therapy that alleviates pain and rectifies the flow of qi. Evodia is classified along with cinnamon bark, dry ginger, Sichuan pepper (zanthoxylum; from the same plant family as evodia) and other hot peppers in a small section of the Materia Medica dedicated to herbs for dispelling chill and warming the interior.

My 2nd Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000
Strengths: Easy on the wrists.
Weakness: Awkwardness of the space bar.
My second one of these just went out. The first one I had lasted 2 days. Then the C and V keys would not work. Got another one as it was under warranty. It has lasted a month. The C key will not work. The guy working at the store said they had been seeing a lot coming back with the same problem.
By cpeterson46 - Dec 16, 2008
great keyboard
Strengths: design, better insert/home/delete layout, long cord
Weakness: tactile response could be better, ps2 connection not availibe, price, size of software package
have been waiting for a wired black ms natural keyboard for a while. i like the keyboard. the padded wrist rest is very nice. zoom slider seems useless. a "power on" button would have been welcome. software package is huge to customize keys. keyboard is very customizable.
all & all happy with the product.
By paazel - Oct 10, 2005
excellent keyboard for macs too!
Strengths: good mac support
Weakness: Doesn't have an 'eject' key so you have to learn about F12. Pricey ($25 would be better) and buying it enriches the Beast.
I like the feel much better than current mac keyboards. Shockingly, the software driver correctly maps the ALT key to Command. Even its multimedia keys work correctly. (In fact, the pause/play key starts and stops iTunes about 2 seconds faster than the equivalent key on an Apple keyboard.)

Driver problems with Microsoft ergonomic keyboard
Strengths: good feel, configurable
Weakness: space bar could have lighter touch, driver causes problems with Microsoft apps.
After installing the keyboard software, MS Excel, and Power Point zoom to the max. PP then "flickers". Had to press the shift key to open Word. Otherwise it opened and immediately closed. One web page repeatedly closed whenever I tried to type in a specific text box. Uninstalling the driver fixed these problems. The keyboard is nice, but the driver (5.5.661) needs fixing.
By reviewerreid - Jul 17, 2006
The best Natural yet
Strengths: CORRECT orientation of the arrow keys and the INS/HOME/PAGEUP block of keys. Ultra-quiet key response. Sleek & sexy appearance.
Weakness: No USB ports - c'mon! Hard to see when playing games in the dark.
I have previously owned the original Natural and the Natural Pro keyboards, skipping the Elite because MS screwed up the placement of the arrow keys and the block of 6 keys above them. These ergonomic keyboards are great for playing FPS-style games. I can play for hours without any finger or wrist cramping, compared to the torture of using a straight keyboard. If you've never used an ergo...

Today's post is inspired by two bloggers I "met" just today through another favorite blog, No Meat Athlete. Thanks to Mara at Medicinal Marzipan for her post on beauty, as well as for leading me to Val of Balancing Val. It was Val who threw down the gauntlet, challenging fellow bloggers to write about beauty. Thanks Matt, Mara and Val.
One of my nearest and dearest is a horticulturist and garden designer. Ronda, I beg your forgiveness for using dandelions to adorn my posts two weeks in a row. (Dandelions never fit into any of Ronda's formal designs!)
We don't usually think of dandelions as being beautiful. Gardeners and anyone who aspires to a lawn that is make-the-neighbors-jealous perfect spend a lot of time and effort trying to rid themselves of dandelions. They are "common." They are "weeds." Having spent some time clearing them from my own garden plot, I don't quite understand how it's possible not to have a grudging respect for them. Dandelions are capable of blooming even if they have to push through solid rock to do so. (As the flowers above managed to do.) And that is precisely why I chose the photo above for this post.
Dandelions embody so much of what I associate with true beauty. They are committed to pushing through and doing what they came here to do. No. Matter. What. They build root systems that are stupefying in their complexity and strength, they shoot out leaves to seek the sun, then produce flowers that look a little like a sunburst on a stalk. Finally, they allow themselves to be delicate. (As in the photo below, coincidentally. I promise, this is not my Dandelion Series.) They produce a soft puff of seeds so Dr.-Seuss-perfect that small children can't resist plucking them and blowing gently to scatter the seeds.
Maybe by now you already are getting the idea that I'm not very interested in the kind of beauty that Hollywood and Madison Avenue shove down our throats as though we were so many geese on a foie gras farm. I'm interested in beauty that is raw and real. Ever seen a woman give birth? There is blood and sweat and, often, screaming. But watching a baby come into the world is one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed; it's the only time I was so moved I wept without even realizing I was doing so.
People are beautiful -- insanely, painfully, hold-them-in-your-heart-and-don't-let-them-go beautiful -- when life has kicked the shit out of them. And they get up. And they move forward. With whatever dignity they can muster. With whatever strength they have remaining. You cannot get that kind of beauty from a mascara wand and it has no correlation to the circumference of your thighs.
If you've read this far, I'll bet you've got it already. Here's to dandelions and doing what we came here to do. No. Matter. What. Here's to walking in beauty.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast runs into a field of these so called "weeds" and sings how there must be more than this provential life. The dandelions fly all around her and up into the air giving the scene that certain je ne se quoi. I never knew that these flowers were considered weeds and were being picked from gardens. They are so much fun. Strong are the roots and light is the seed so that it may spread its strength as should we all.

Well, Steve, some folks is crazy! And I agree with you about spring dandelion greens and dandelion wine. If we really are what we eat then bring on the dandelions because pushing through solid rock ain't a bad ability to have in your bag of tricks! Thanks for your comment!!

Thanks, Deb! This is just lovely. It reminds me a bit of a project one of my friends is working on, called Humans of New York...he takes portraits of every kind of New Yorker, and sometimes writes about their stories, and each one is beautiful in a completely unique way - even if only for the fact that they are somehow able to keep on truckin.

Thanks, Shan, for your comment and for introducing me to Humans of New York. I went to the site and looked around a bit and was reminded of another post I wrote Do You Want to Sniff My Butt? Check it out if you have the time. I think you'll appreciate it. Thanks again for your comment!

True, I don't design with dandelions (due to their tendency to take over!), but I love them and think they are beautiful, too! My grandfather used to harvest them from the fields outside of town; he sauteed the leaves in olive oil and garlic, and he made dandelion wine.
Great post! - July 27, 2011 at 7:43 PM

I was smitten by the idea that dandelions are so named as Dente de Lion (Lion's Tooth) and being that I'm a Leo and all figured there was something in it for me. Also, on an herbology note, dandelion is a well-known liver tonic (yay the liver). And on a more magical note, we all learned when we were 8 that it's fluffs carry your secret wishes when blown to the wind.
Hi Deborah - so glad you are writing again.
Much Love
