Enterprise risk management (ERM) is generally accepted to be a wider subject than traditional risk management.
While traditional risk management focuses on identifying, measuring and monitoring risks to limit a company's losses, ERM recognises that businesses take risks to make a profit for their owners. It therefore attempts to strike a balance between too much risk and not enough risk in light of a business's strategy - making sure the risk-taking activities of the company are aligned with its objectives and its willingness, or otherwise, to take losses.
An ERM process will incorporate risk information into strategic planning, management decision making, product design and more.

If you go on the Internet, and begin surfing the web, looking at different websites, did you know that people can actually track where you have been? Even if no one else is in the room watching you, because you are connected to the Internet through what is called an IP address, it is easy to track where you go because you are connected to a shared network. More than likely, the places that you visit are not that bad, but it would be better to surf the web without other people knowing where you have gone. That's why you should do browsing anonymous and hide your tracks before people start looking. In this article, we will go over exactly what anonymous web browsing is, how and why you should surf the web anonymously, and show you exactly what you need to do to hide your activities on the web from prying eyes.
What Is Anonymous Web Browsing
As we mentioned before, whenever you go onto the Internet and use a web browser, you are using an ID tool called an IP address to surf the net. When you browse the Internet anonymously, you are able to hide this IP address from people that might be wondering where you have gone, essentially erasing yourself from the shared network even though you are still there.
How Can You Surf Anonymously?
It is possible to surf the web anonymously by using a third-party server. In most cases, there is something called a proxy in which the data you are receiving is forwarded through a "proxy server". By doing this, the digital footprint showing where you have gone on the Internet is eliminated, allowing you to go wherever you want to without leaving a trace. A more advanced technique is by using a VPN which encrypts the entire stream of data so that it cannot be processed by a third-party. This is very helpful because it allows you to bypass any firewalls that may be preventing you from going to certain locations, and, at the very least, your activities will only be known to you and no one else.
Who Should Utilize Anonymous Web Browsing?
The simple answer is everyone. If you are at work, you don't want your boss to know where you have been. If you work for the government, a school, or even if you are browsing from home, using these anonymous proxies will allow you to go to your favorite websites, including Facebook, Youtube and Twitter to do your social networking without anyone knowing that you were there.
In conclusion, most people that surf the web are not doing anything unscrupulous or illegal. However, that does not mean that other people should know where you are going on the Internet. If you would like to learn more information about how to hide your IP address while surfing online, we recommend that you go to the Browsing Anonymous website http://browsinganonymous.com to find out more.

Comments about Airhead Hot Dog 3 Person Towable Tube:
This is a great tube for beginners, but is fun for anyone. My kids who have been a little scared of tubing, have fallen in love with this tube. I love to ride it too. We took it to a family reunion, and it was a hit with everyone, even the adults. The only con, is that it's a little hard on adult knees, so after awhile, I put my legs forward. Other than that, It's a ton of fun!

CDC: US Whooping cough cases rising at epidemic rate
Calling the increase in the number of infected across age groups "substantial," Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said on a conference call that many states are seeing higher than normal cases of the illness. To date, 18,000 cases have been reported to the CDC in 2012, more than twice as many as the same time last year. Nine infants have already died.
"When we have these waves occurring we look at trends and try to understand how we can best reduce impact of disease," she explained.
The numbers are on a fast track to beat out recent high rates in 2010, when 27,000 cases were reported, resulting in 27 deaths. Twenty-five of those were infants. The rates may also surpass all previous annual estimates the CDC has reported on since 1959. Worldwide whooping cough rates are also increasing, with many cases being reported in Canada. And Australia is reporting higher rates of incidence than the U.S.
The sickness is medically known as pertussis, a highly contagious disease caused by a bacteria that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing, according to the National Institutes of Health. Because it can be difficult to breathe, those with the disease make a "whooping" sound when they inhale, leading to the illness' commonly known name. The infection usually lasts six weeks and can affect people of any age. Infants are especially affected by the disease and need to be monitored in case they stop breathing. Schuchat added that more than half of babies need to be cared for in the hospital.
Washington state has the largest amount of reported cases, with more than 3,000 by the end of last week. Though rates have slowed down, in July 2011 there were only 200 cases reported in the state.
"We are using every tool we have to fight this," Mary Selecky, secretary of the Washington State Department of Health, said on the call.
The state has bought and distributed 27,000 doses of TDAP, a booster shot, and distributed them in communities with high rates of uninsured adults. The governor has donated money from the emergency fund and a media campaign featuring real families affected by pertussis is urging people to get vaccinated.
"People are clearly getting the message and taking steps to protect babies and families in our state, but we need more help," Selecky said.
There are two ways to get vaccinated for pertussis. DTAP is a five dose series recommended for infants or young children at 2,4 or 6 months; 15 through 18 months and 4 though 6 years. TDAP is a booster dose given to people 11 to 12 years old, pregnant women and any adult that has not previously had a pertussis vaccine. In 2010, about 84 percent of toddlers 18 to 35 months had at least four doses of DTAP and the three dose rate was at 95 percent, the CDC reported on the call. However, attempts to get the booster are much lower. In 13- to 17-ear-olds, the rate of vaccinations with the booster shot is about 69 percent and in adults 19 to 64, it is a meager 8 percent.
The CDC is investigating whether or not the increased numbers are due to the vaccine wearing off earlier. While whooping cough may be a cyclical disease, certain aspects of this latest outbreak have become concerning to officials, Schuchat said. In particular, across the United States, rates of infected individuals are rising in 10-year-olds, decreasing in 11- and 12-year-olds and increasing again in 13- to 14-year-olds.
"There were unusual epidemiological features that prompted us to launch an investigation in Washington state," Schuchat explained.
The organization, along with state officials, urged pregnant women and people in close contact to children to get vaccinated to prevent further spread. In 1997, the U.S. switched from a wholesale pertussis vaccine to an acellular version. Current records show that the acellular version is fairly effective in protecting young children with 95 percent prevention rates, but five years later it dwindles down to 70 percent. Part of the reason for the different epidemiological features may be due to the switch, seeing that the current pre-teen age groups were among the first to receive the acellular version.
"We think there are many things going on," Schuchat saud. "Pertusis is a cyclical disease and the vaccination is not perfect."

- Speaking of Alamance County - ALL were previously vaccinated. The unvaccinated cannot be blamed for these outbreaks:
(North Carolinians confused as to why all 103 cases fully vaxed and no unvaccinated kids got it):
(Excerpt): ... (the) outbreak...has grown to include more than 103 cases.....SHAPLEY-QUINN SAID there's no instance of a child who had not been vaccinated getting pertussis....
(SHOT DOWN !!!) Board member Tony Rose had asked for information about the number of students who don't get vaccinations because of religious or other reasons. "I think it's 15 kids in your entire system (who) have an exemption for medical or religious reasons," Shapley-Quinn said. None of the pertussis cases involved those students, she said.
Bass said the system has a "really good vaccination rate," which "raises questions about the vaccine itself" and its effectiveness in preventing the disease.

- Why do these articles only mention vaccinations as THE solution to our immune systems being able to defend against various bacteria and viruses? It's a huge disservice to mankind to keep perpetuating this religion. Our bodies are FAR more complicated than just VACCINES, VACCINES, VACCINES, VACCINES !!!!
Why don't these articles stress the basics before chemicals?
Why don't these articles stress the need for ingesting all 90-some-odd vitamins/minerals/amino acids?
Why don't these articles stress the need for breastfeeding?
Why don't these articles stress the need for avoiding toxic, processed, GMO, sugared foods?
Why don't these articles stress the need for exercise?
Why don't these articles stress the need for getting plenty of sleep?
The point being, ALL of the above-mentioned items are far more important than vaccines (if vaccines can even be considered important at all - at least in a positive way).
Stressing vaccines over the BASICS of our bodies speaks volumes regarding the true intentions of these "experts" who all have a vested interest in keeping everyone unhealthy so they can then provide endless "treatments" for the masses. - reply

- As a 60-something adult in Washington State, I had this crap starting in February-March, and the coughing continued at a reduced pace well into May. At its worst, I seriously thought I might die.

- News flash folks. We have all the diseases that we had held in check for years show back up. Why? Twofold reason IMHO. One vaccinations are way down. Two the, elephant in the room people will not admit to, illegal immigrants. Look where most of the outbreaks are and you usually find a large population of undocumented voters everyone is scared to mention. Face facts people. There are things coming up from the jungles of central and South America that we had under control, but they were never vaccinated and they brought more than their desire to live here with them. Need to start vaccination programs or it will get a lot worse. You know there are some nasty bugs that live in those areas that will make their way accross our unprotected borders to our unprotected children at school and at your workplace.

- hate to say it but in NC, Alamance county has had a huge outbreak and they also have a huge population of migrant workers. So, between the parents choosing to not vaccinate and the migrant population that are too poor to afford vaccines in their native countries, we're going to see alot come back.

[Solved] WordPress : Help with displaying data from custom meta boxes
I've made some custom meta boxes, but I can't get the info to display outside the loop.
I've tried using this but I get nothing
global $post;
$args = array('post_type' =>'post-type');
$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'meta-box-slug', true);
And I've tried this too
global $post;
$args = array('post_type' => 'post-type');
$obituary_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ($obituary_query->have_posts()) : $obituary_query->the_post();
$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'meta-box-slug', true);
echo $meta;
That does displays the data but it throws a "Headers already sent error"
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I haven't had much luck working with custom meta boxes.
Thanks in advance.Are you using a plugin?No, but I may just be stupid. I just thought of something. I'll let you know if it works.OK, yeah I'm stupid. For some reason, I was got it in head that I had to work outside the loop.

The resume of UNH Board of Governors member Thomas Lewis '74, '76 M.S. testifies to his pursuit of a varied career. With a degree from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, Lewis cooked his way through the University of New Haven to pay for his schooling, working at local restaurants, country clubs and hotels. After graduating, he served as an executive at numerous corporations, was director of technology for the Executive Office of the Reagan administration – winning the Distinguished Service Award of the Office of Administration – and most recently was Executive-in-Residence at the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School, where he designed and taught the environmental finance M.B.A. program. He is an accomplished artist whose grandfather, Giovanni Scarinci, was a favored portraitist for numerous federal judges.
His most recent venture, however, might be his biggest yet. He is the new CEO of Green Exchange, a consortium of leading financial and environmental companies including Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and J.P. Morgan, seeking a share of the $300 billion global emissions market. Lewis will lead the consortium's global growth through the creation of a financial exchange for trading environmental commodities such as carbon offsets and Renewable Energy Certificates. He also will provide strategic direction for development of products to serve these emerging markets.
"It's a very large endeavor," says Lewis, who was honored with the University's Distinguished Alumni award in 1994, is the recipient of an honorary doctorate in Business Administration, and is chairman of the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science. "There are not a lot of individuals in the general business sector who understand the magnitude of this. We expect to be the largest environmental trading platform in the world."
The global emissions market is expected to grow to about $3 trillion to $5 trillion in the next three to five years, making it the largest new financial market for the foreseeable future. "I'm inspired," he says. "I find that this is something that not only has economic value, but I believe it has a noble purpose. I am committed to this because I believe in the premise that in order for environmental policy to be successful, you have to engage the capital markets. Being able to link the environmental purpose and the creation of capital is something that will help to improve the world."

This is running around facebook right now, and due to my current status as crazy cat lady, I thought I would share. It's a cute little program where you can cut and paste in your text and set it so that every 100 or 200 or 500 words you get a new picture of a kitteh! Sounds good to me. Too bad for every 100 words you don't actually get a kitten. I guess it would be okay around these parts, considering my stalled play.
Hopefully you are getting lots of kittehs today!

I miss my kitties. :( I know that's ridiculous... I saw them yesterday morning before I left for the yoga weekend and I'll be seeing them tomorrow night. But I miss them anyway. There's not much here at the yoga retreat as far as night programming goes, but I did get the wireless at least somewhat functioning in my room. I might try to write for an hour more before my friend who I came here with gets back from the piano concert. I probably should've just gone to the concert. For some reason I thought it would make me feel antsy. I wrote in the sunroom here this afternoon, and it was wonderful. I just think the schedule here is more geared towards early mornings and turning in early at night, and my weekend schedule is the opposite. I'd rather be able to sleep in somewhat and then have the yoga activities NOT stop by 6:30.
I still miss the kitties.

Title: | Assistant Coach |
Phone: | 334-3003 |
Email: | email@example.com |
Jackie Manuel is in his first season as an assistant coach on
UNCG coach Wes Miller's staff.
Manuel joins the UNCG staff after a one-year stint as an assistant
strength and conditioning coach at his alma mater, North Carolina.
There, he prepared and assisted with the execution of the strength
training workout plan for the men's basketball team while
learning the ropes of coaching from Hall of Fame coach Roy
"It's a great honor, and I'm very thankful for
Wes to think of me that highly," Manuel said.
"I'm very appreciative and just blessed. It brings back
old memories. It doesn't happen often, whether it's
playing, coaching, whatever it is, that you get to be with a
teammate again. It's going to be good. We know each other
very well, so the transition should be real easy."
In Manuel's one year on staff at UNC, the Tar Heels went
32-6 overall, won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season
title and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight. North Carolina began
the 2011-12 campaign ranked No. 1 in the nation.
Manuel wrapped up a five-year professional playing career in 2011.
He spent the 2010-11 season playing for the Miyazaki Shining Suns
in Miyazaki, Japan, averaging 18 points, six rebounds and three
assists per game. Prior to that, he spent four seasons in the NBA
Development League, playing for the Erie Bayhawks (the minor league
affiliate of the New York Knicks), the Iowa Energy (Chicago Bulls,
New Orleans Hornets and Washington Wizards) and the Los Angeles
D-Fenders (Los Angeles Lakers).
The West Palm Beach, Fla., native was a two-time All-ACC Defensive
Team member as a player for the Tar Heels, taking the honor in
2003-04 and 2004-05. He was a tri-captain for North
Carolina's national championship squad in 2005, when he and
Miller were teammates.
"Jackie Manuel brings a wealth of collegiate and
professional playing experience to our program," Miller said
upon hiring Manuel. "He is positive and energetic and I am
confident he will relate extremely well to our players and
prospects. As one of his teammates in college, I know firsthand
that Jackie Manuel is hard-working, team-orientated and a fiercely
competitive winner. As he makes this transition to coaching, I
expect him to impact our program immediately in the same way he has
impacted all of the teams he played on. There is no doubt in my
mind that he will do that here. We welcome Jackie, his wife,
Rhonda, and his daughter, Ryan, to our basketball

Generalized Breast LumpinessGeneralized breast lumpiness, also called fibrocystic breast changes or benign (noncancerous) breast disease, is a common breast condition. Generalized breast lumpiness tends to become more noticeable before a menstrual period and can often be felt in both breasts around the nipple and in the upper, outer part of the breasts. Generalized breast lumpiness occurs most often in women ages 35 to 50. It usually disappears with menopause, when menstrual periods end. It may continue in women who are taking estrogen for hormone replacement therapy.

Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays seem to improve the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but it is unknown how to best use them in clinical practice. Our objective was to develop and validate an algorithm for rapid rule-out and rule-in of AMI.
Methods A prospective multicenter study enrolling 872 unselected patients with acute chest pain presenting to the emergency department. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) was measured in a blinded fashion at presentation and after 1 hour. The final diagnosis was adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists. An hs-cTnT algorithm incorporating baseline values as well as absolute changes within the first hour was derived from 436 randomly selected patients and validated in the remaining 436 patients. The primary prognostic end point was death during 30 days of follow-up.
Results Acute myocardial infarction was the final diagnosis in 17% of patients. After applying the hs-cTnT algorithm developed in the derivation cohort to the validation cohort, 259 patients (60%) could be classified as "rule-out," 76 patients (17%) as "rule-in," and 101 patients (23%) as in the "observational zone" within 1 hour. Overall, this resulted in a sensitivity and negative predictive value of 100% for rule-out, a specificity and positive predictive value of 97% and 84%, respectively, for rule-in, and a prevalence of AMI of 8% in the observational zone group. Cumulative 30-day survival was 99.8%, 98.6%, and 95.3% (P < .001) in patients classified as rule-out, observational zone, and rule-in, respectively.
Conclusions Using a simple algorithm incorporating hs-cTnT baseline values and absolute changes within the first hour allowed a safe rule-out as well as an accurate rule-in of AMI within 1 hour in 77% of unselected patients with acute chest pain. This novel strategy may obviate the need for prolonged monitoring and serial blood sampling in 3 of 4 patients.

Figure 1. Levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) at presentation. Baseline hs-cTnT levels at presentation to the emergency department in all patients according to the adjudicated final diagnoses. Boxes represent interquartile ranges, while whiskers display ranges (without outliers further than 1.5 interquartile ranges from the respective end of the box). The proportion of patients above the 99th percentile were 88% for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 36% for unstable angina (UA), 45% for cardiac but not coronary artery disease (CAD), 13% for noncardiac chest pain, and 31% for patients with unknown causes.

Kaplan-Meier curves display the cumulative survival during 30 days of follow-up (A) and 2 years of follow-up (B) in all patients with chest pain (n = 872) according to the classification into "rule-out" (n = 491), "observational zone"(n = 212), and "rule-in" (n = 169) provided by the hs-cTnT 1-hour algorithm. Differences in survival were assessed using the log-rank test.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department says a routine bridge inspection will mean that a lane of Highway 67 at Donaldson will be closed this week. The department says crews will inspect the Union Pacific Railroad overpass on Highway 67 on Wednesday — weather permitting. The work will mean the closing of the northbound lane of the highway in Hot Spring County from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
CADDO VALLEY, Ark. (AP) — Authorities in Hot Spring and Clark counties are searching for a 58-year-old woman who disappeared near DeGray Lake. Deborah Cronn was last seen on Arkansas Highway 7 in Caddo Valley about 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The area is on the southern end of the lake near the Hot Spring and Clark county lines.

Over the weekend, the Malvern American Legion team went on the road to take part in the Little Rock Junior Invitational Tournament. The first game on Saturday, against the Little Rock Pythons, was an offensive showcase for Malvern, as they came away with a 16-7 win to earn a spot in the championship game. The two teams went back and forth in the first couple of innings trading runs. Malvern led 3-2 after the first and 5-3 after two innings.
Last night I quickly grew tired of the College World Series (even though there was a good game being played) and I began channel surfing. As I made my way through the channels, I remembered it was Monday night, which was once a very significant night in my youth. Monday was important because it meant it was pro wrestling night. I was quite the WCW fan in college and watched it sporadically ever since.

TEXARKANA, Texas (AP) — A service will be held Wednesday for a Texas police officer who died after being hit by a truck during a disturbance at a park.

Former Campbell County Environmental Director Dan Murray held the position for just five months before he was terminated at the beginning of March.
It was enough time for him to file three lawsuits against the county and Mayor William Baird.
In the most recent lawsuit filed in circuit court March 16, Murray claims his termination was based on physical handicaps. This act is being accused as a violation of his human rights.
In this suit he is asking for nearly $1 million in damages.

Role Players, and Strategy…A thing of the Past
Posted by thethreelions on 28th June 2012
In 2007 both Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined forces with Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics, and what seemed to be a simple move to make their team stronger, the Celtics dramatically changed the NBA. The Boston Celtics had arguably created the best starting line-up in the NBA, since the 1998 Bulls (remember this includes Rondo and Perkins) and the way they did it was like never before.
Most teams before had one or two strong players, and one of these was generally because one was drafted into the mix, like that of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James in Cleveland, but now a team was able to create its own all-star team, and they made it look easy. The Boston Celtics went on to win the NBA title that year, and while they didn't create any sort of legendary dynasty, like the Bulls in the 1990's, they helped change the way teams went about creating their rosters.
Today we see teams like the Heat with Dwayne wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh, a line-up that is 3/5 the way to an eastern Conference All-Star game, and one that if I mentioned seven years ago, people would of laughed. As the 2012 NBA Draft nears we see more an more teams then ever before making moves and trades in hope to build their very own "super-team", whether it be the Nets trying to lure Dwight Howard along side Deron Williams, or the Knicks trying to get Steve Nash to an already failed attempt as a super team.
There is suddenly this perspective that the only way to win an NBA Championship is to create their very own All-Star team, which I feel in a lot of ways kind of ruins the NBA, its now like the ideas of role players is a distant memory from the past, and realistically there are only a select few teams with that kind of money to create these teams. Its no longer about a players skill and a teams chemistry like the past, its about what great players you can hopefully throw together and hope for the best. I don't even know what the need for a coach is for teams like the Heat, because their isn't much strategy in "give Lebron the ball", and if he isn't open, "give it to Wade".

The world's latest Internet sensation, Chris P. Bacon, lives in a small veterinary clinic in Clermont.
Dr. Len Lucero inherited the baby pig when a woman brought him to the Eastside Veterinary Hospital to have him put to sleep.
Chris P. is disabled -- his little hind legs don't work.
"She wanted to do the most humane thing possible. She was distraught. She was crying up a storm, and I said, 'We've got options here,'" said Lucero.
Lucero adopted the pig and named him Chris P. Bacon, then made him a wheelchair using his son's K'nex toys.
"Then he yelled at me," said Lucero. "He called me a bunch of bad words in pig, and then he calmed down."
Lucero shot a video of what he calls FAAPT: First Attempt at Pig Transportation.
He posted it on YouTube, and that's how the world came to know and love Chris P. Bacon.

Sorry, this story is unavailable
@ ramm83 - do you really need a list? Do you know THAT little about England rugby? Or are you taking the p!$$..?
Posted 10:39 20th July 2012
CL not a dirty player or a liability. Just hard and comitted. I don't understand why people jump on the bandwagon with these accusations. It's just not the case. He is a class act with a very bright future.
Posted 09:50 20th July 2012
C'mon Courtney, you're the best england has in that position and a potential world beater when you reach your prime in your late 20's, all we need is you to stop getting injured. I hate it when people insult his physicality...he plays rugby hard but he plays fair too. I've never seen him pull anything dirty like morgan parra's gouging and I don't see parra being rilled like Lawes about being a 'dirty' player
Posted 23:35 19th July 2012
@JamieTheProp - Strength in depth in the second row? Where and whom?
Posted 17:48 19th July 2012
Agree, not a dirty player. One or two bad hits but overall just a very hard player. I think he can be one of the best in the future.
Posted 17:09 19th July 2012
There's Dave Attwood if he ever gets his act together. That would be a hard uncompromising second row partnership!
Posted 16:29 19th July 2012
@ sirtidychris & markmassive - I think Attwood's probably the next closest in that mould and I'd love to see him partner CL. Even if I take off my blue-black-and-white-tinted specs, I still see Attwood as a future England 2R. But he's not in the EPS, so no idea in the mean time.
@ markmassive - actually they did worry about MJ's temper, but thankfully he managed to, erm, temper it.
Posted 16:04 19th July 2012
markmassive....i definately agree that at least one SR has to fill the super agressive enforcer role, skirting on the edge of whats legal and not, guys like Martin Johnson, Bakkies Botha and Brad Thorn are the epitomy of this. I think Attwood could definatley fill this role, during his gloucester days he was a real star however a couple of silly incidents where he skirted on the wrong side of the law has seen him drift out of england contention. We need to see Attwood back to his rampaging best in 2012/13 then i really think Engalnd will have a SR partnership to take on anyone.
Posted 14:47 19th July 2012
Does anyone remember Martin Johnson holding players down by their throats? no one said my god he's a liability.
Also sirtidychris I think he needs an equally agressive second row partner, its a shame there isn't a player in a similar mould as CL. Is there anyone close to that standard in the pipeline?
Posted 12:26 19th July 2012
If you don't give away any penalties, you're not really trying....
Posted 12:23 19th July 2012
JamieTheProp a liability? Do you even watch Rugby? Courtney Lawes is one of our outstanding young talents. His agression in being commited in the tackle area is a sight to behold. I'll tell you one thing I'd rather have him smashing into the big Saffas than Mouritz 'MOBO' Botha...
I'll say one thing Lawes needs to learn and thats how to carry the ball into contact, but he'll learn cause he's young. But defensively a liabilty I completely disagree.
Posted 12:18 19th July 2012
Head and shoulders above any of the second rows we have at the moment, Lawes is the future and at only 23 is still nowhere near his prime, we need him to get fit and have a good run of games for northampton so he wil be firing come the autumn internationals. I agree he is hotheaded but he will learn with experience, the question is who to partner him with (attwood, kitchener, parling, deacon, palmer etc, etc)
Posted 11:30 19th July 2012
I think his fitness might be considered a liability at the moment, but that's about it. He's somehow managed to get himself an unfair (imo) reputation as a dirty player, where-as I think he's just an uncompromising and hard player.
Get well soon CL - in time for consideration for the Autumn internationals. Strength in depth is good, but not if they're all injured!
Posted 11:18 19th July 2012
The man is made of glass - luckily England have strength in depth in his position! And in my opinion he's talented but a liability on the pitch anyway!

I'm turning 18 tomorrow. I've been waiting for this for a very long time, I really just want to get a tattoo. I want it to be about atheism because it's one of the few things in my life that I know wont change. I'm really starting with nothing here, I have nothing particular in mind, so I'm open to all suggestions. I don't even know if I'm getting a quote, artwork, or otherwise. I'd also like to see others atheist tattoos if you have any.
That picture is of an amazing tattoo, but I think its a bit much for me, especially for my first tattoo.
Hell yea thats me lol
Really? Lol I love your tattoo! How did you think of something so unique and beautiful?!
Thank you! :D
Numquam Subsisto Interrogatum: Never Stop asking Questions
Sorry to sound dumb, but I am not bilingual AT ALL, what language is that?
Latin, I don't think (m)any people are bilingual in it!
Mine is on my right shoulder. It's a crude "jailhouse style" tattoo of my (now ex) wife's name. I had sworn before that I'd never get a tattoo. It was a very strange night....
Given the reasons for not having a tattoo (potential impediment to landing a job, tattoo regret, etc.), I wonder why people feel such an overwhelming need to have one.
It's an issue of personal vanity or sentimentality - not need. While difficult to do so, it's not an irrevocable decision. And if properly placed, is not an impediment. The tattoo of my ex I still like. We are still good friends and I care about her. No harm. And it's in a place where it is normally covered by a shirt so no harm there as far as jobs - and the message is one that is non-offensive.
