The deadline for abstracts is April 15, 2013.
Description of the session:
This session focuses on new applications and theoretical ...
Humans as systems
Will it Python?
Tue 12 February 2013 cfarmerOver the past few weeks, I've been following a really great blog by Carl Vogel. This blog has an excellent (growing) collection of Python examples based on porting code and examples from R to Python. In general, it is useful for those "interested in the Python data analysis toolkit and its viability as an alternative to R". Carl draws on examples from Machine Learning for Hackers by Drew Conway and John Miles White, as well as Gelman and Hill's Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models.
Science, Canadian Style!
Sun 20 January 2013 cfarmerRecently, a colleague of mine from Wilfred Laurier University has started a website with some colleagues called RinkWatch (http://rinkwatch.org/). The website is designed to track climate-change by keeping tabs on local community ice rink(s). This innovative use of Citizen Science is getting quite a bit of buzz up in Canada, but the idea has implications for any country with a culture of outdoor skating rinks. It is also a great way to get the public involved in the climate debate, and science in general! RinkWatch received a mention in the Canadian Association of Geographers' Mailing list, which I'm posting here to help spread the good word. You can also check out the full story and video here.

LONG BEACH - There are only a few stories that allow a reporter to show a personal side.
This story is an example of that.
My brother is one of the millions affected by Hurricane Sandy.
We went back to Long Beach, Long Island with him, as he tried to retrieve whatever he can from his damaged apartment building.
Much of Long Beach is still in shambles, piles of trash line the sidewalks, and some buildings still don't have power.
On a rainy Tuesday morning, my brother Shawn goes into the building he once called home - which now feels foreign...it's eerie, dark and dirty.
It questionable if the building on Broadway will ever be livable again.
We take the stairs, because the elevators still don't work.
Up five flights in darkness, with just the light on our camera illuminating the way.
Shawn's apartment is on the fifth floor - so his belongings were not hit by water.
While we pack up whatever we can, Shawn's admits, when he first heard about hurricane sandy, he wasn't going to evacuate.
We carry out boxes, back into the hallway of darkness and down the slippery stairs.
Outside, we run into the building's super...who's clearly exhausted from more than two weeks of scrambling.
And he lost his home.
Tony Taylor's apartment was not spared - it's in the basement...everything inside was destroyed.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Colbert Lady Leopards' magical run through the 2A playoffs came to a bittersweet end Thursday at Westmoore High School, as the Alva LadyBugs outlasted Colbert 53-45.
A critical third quarter stretch helped Alva get the win, and the LadyBugs never led by more than 10 points. In fact the lead went back and forth until the third quarter run paced by Bailey Forell's eight points. Alva's Jaden Hobbs led all scorers with 26.
But Colbert's run to the state quarterfinals – which included a pair of regular season tournament wins and trophies for district, regional and area championships – helped return Lady Leopards basketball to its winning tradition.
"These girls had a hunger to win," said Colbert Coach Chris Gillespie. "Getting here is not the final goal, but it's big and it's hard to attain."
The state tournament is still a fitting send-off for the senior starting five, who played all but a handful of minutes on Thursday. Final stats from the game: Katherine Hair 14 points, Ginavee Mowles 11 points, Taylor Lyons nine points and seven rebounds, Darian Bradford six points, three assists and three steals, Bailee Weger five points.
The girls also threw a first half block party with Mowles, Hair and Weger collecting four blocked shots which helped put pressure on Alva shooters. But the Ladybug defense smothered Colbert in the second half.
"In the middle of the third quarter, we started breaking down defensively," Gillespie said. "And offensively, we just didn't run anything."
Attention now turns to the returning players who must "decide if they want to continue the legacy," Gillespie said. This will include juniors Maddison Poteet, Breawna McCraw, Samantha Cummins and Rachel Anders; sophomores Taytiana Gray and Gwenisha Love; and freshmen Haylie McGowan, Kayla Layton, Krista Conner and Chanda Sinor.
Judging by the sea of maroon-clad fans in the stands at Westmoore on Thursday, all of Colbert will be rooting for these girls when November comes.

Goodson is the 5-year-old girl who was mauled by the family pit bull on Dec. 5. She lost an ear in the attack and will have to have more surgeries to repair the damage done by the dog, Griffin Police said Tuesday. She is expected to make a full recovery.
Griffin Police Cpl. Stan Phillips had to shoot the dog to get it to release the child. Phillips was honored for his efforts at Tuesday's City of Griffin Board of Commissioners meeting. He provided an update on the child after he was presented the Strongest Link award for December.
Police Chief Frank Strickland said, "I wish we didn't have the incident we're here for, but I believe Cpl. Phillips' actions saved the child's life."
Strickland said that when Phillips arrived at the scene, the child's head was clamped down in the dog's mouth. The grandmother and Phillips tried to get the dog to let go, but it wouldn't.
"He got himself down on the ground, in a position where he didn't shoot the child or the grandma, who wasn't letting go of the grandbaby," Strickland said.
Phillips is also working to help the family. He said he got together with the pastor at Carver Road Baptist Church, and the church raised money to buy a minivan for the grandmother, who has custody of the four children that were in the home, he said.
In the nomination for Strongest Link, Capt. Dwayne Jones said, "Cpl. Phillips exhibited great professionalism and judgment and his actions prevented further injury to the child and in my opinion potentially saved her life."
The "Strongest Link" award is given monthly to a deserving employee who has demonstrated excellent performance and productivity, loyalty, professional pride and other noteworthy accomplishments. The recognized employee receives a day off with pay, a gift certificate from a local restaurant, the "Strongest Link" plaque and the symbolic "chain," which the employee will be custodian of until a subsequent employee is recognized.

Ereb Altor
By Honour
Complete, total and unadulterated latter era Bathory worship.
The above line should actually determine if you are or are not interested in this Swedish band's debut album, but to clarify just go to the band's Myspace page and listen to "Awakening" and the title track just to be sure.
Folks, make no qualms about it, Ereb Altor (named after some D & D styled role playing board game) is a Hammerheart/Twilight of the Gods/Nordland era Bathory tribute band; long, deliberate, epic Viking riffage, airy choral vocal arrangements of honor, warriors and all things forest-y, frosty and mountain-y. I've seen this band/album called "Viking Doom", and the moniker sort of fits. Out of respect for Quorthon, I'm afraid to say that this band completely rips off Bathory. And they do it very, very well, even down to Mats' vocal delivery which (No disrespect to the deceased Quorthon) is actually better and less off-key than his obvious idol.
By Honour though, for all its obvious influences, is a damn good album. There's an organic yet majestic, austere ambience to the plodding, steady riffage and Mats' vocals have a more epic, romantic quality than Quorthon ever did and there's some nice use of somber acoustics and subtle synths to start tracks like the rangy epic "Wizard" and instrumental closer "Ereb Altor". However, the likes of "Winter Wonderland" have me scrambling for my Bathory catalog to confirm if it is indeed a cover track or not.
If you enjoy, nicely done, doomy majestic Viking metal, Ereb Altor will appease you but more importantly, they look to be the hair apparent to a revered, legendary act. Based on this debut, they are up to it.

Lady Gaga has it out for her former aide, Jennifer O'Neill, who sued Mother Monster in 2011 for unpaid overtime she believes she's owed.
"She's just -- she thinks she's just like the queen of the universe," Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, said in a six-hour deposition in the case obtained by the New York Post. "And, you know what, she didn't want to be a slave to one, because in my work and what I do, I'm the queen of the universe every day."
O'Neill, who worked for Gaga from 2009 to 2011, is seeking $393,000 and damages for 7,168 hours of overtime that she said she was never paid. She and Gaga, whose career skyrocketed around that time, agreed to a $75,000 salary, according to the singer's deposition. (Keep in mind, it is a deposition, so it's got only one side of the story.)
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga through the years
"I'm going to give all the money that she wants to my employees that work hard for me now that deserve it," the 26-year-old singer said. "I'm not going to give it to her so she can go to Intermix and buy herself a new tube top."
OK, we knew that the "Born This Way" crooner had a penchant for drama and theatrics, but wowza, we dare say that Gaga believes O'Neill committed sins worse than Judas ...
Gaga said O'Neill, who worked for her twice, "knew exactly what she was getting into, and she knew there was no overtime, and I never paid her overtime the first time I hired her, so why would she be paid overtime the second time?"
The turning point for Gaga was O'Neill's refusal to allow anyone else to sleep in one of two of the beds on Gaga's private jet on their way to Paris. This upset her, but it seems as if the problem festered and didn't blow up until they were on their way back from the City of Light, when O'Neill wanted one of the beds after they all had a "rock star" night of partying.
"I said, 'Jennifer, this is really inappropriate in front of [photographer] Terry Richardson,' and she was like, 'Don't I get some sort of seniority because I've been here longer and I'm your friend?'" Gaga said.
"I remember those words as clear as day, because when your best friend looks you in the eye and says, 'Why can't I have that seat on your private plane, I'm your friend,' the first thing I thought was 'You're not my ... friend. You are not my ... friend."
Gaga went on slamming her former personal assistant in what was, shall we say, a very colorful deposition. Here are a few more, er, expletive-free excerpts we gleaned from the statement:
Eek and a half!

I love these cookies. They are bit tedious to make, but well worth the effort. They are especially yummy when dipped in a chocolate liqueur.

I have made several times. I always use salted butter. They are great baked fresh. Put cinnamon sugar on the wax paper or parchment so they do not stick. Keep them refrigerated and uncooked until near time to serve them for best flavor. They can also be frozen. Its important the butter be slightly cold when you mix it or they don't come out as flaky. Happy holidays!!

I make these cookies every Christmas. I absolutely love them. They are easy to make and look fancy. They are also incredibly delicious! Just follow the recipe exactly and you will be good. Especially make sure you keep the dough refrigerated long enough. That is key.

I made these as part of my Christmas cookie baking and was so disappointed. While they are lovely to look at and do bake up very crispy, the flavor was greasy/oily and bland. I used unsalted, real butter, so I don't understand why they turned out that way. I had some of the same issues as previous reviewesr. My dough also stuck to the wax paper. Personally, this cookie also contains too much sugar and not enough cinnamon. Again, while very pretty, NOT worth the time and effort. For all of this, I should have just made sugar roll-out cookies and then frosted and decorated them. I would have put as much time into those as this recipe.

I was disappointed with the turn out after so much time and effort was put into them. I followed the recipe to a 'T', but still there was issues. 1) the dough stuck to the wax paper 2) the cookies stuck to the pan 3) because the sugar is added before baking it melted off and burned. All around this recipe is not worth the trouble...

Director: Gary Gray
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler, Colm Meany
The worst complaints I have about Law Abiding citizen are not the ridiculous plot or the tired, overdone evil genius character. The worst part of this project is that it has made alot of money and will encourage more crap to shoot out of Hollywood's crap machine. Director Gary Gray has put out other weak action efforts like The Negotiator and The Italian Job remake where he wasted so much great talent that he should have been arrested for impersonating a filmmaker. Gerard Butler brings his considerable presence to the project and Foxx is solid enough.
Gerard Butler is Clyde Shelton, an ingenius inventor whose idyllic family-filled life is shattered when a couple of criminal misfits force their way into his home apparently for the main intention of killing everyone there and maybe grabbing a bit of jewellry. When they are caught, prosecutor nick Rice, played by Jamie Foxx, makes a plea bargain that allows the worst of the two criminals to be released in a mere ten years. It appears that Mr Shelton is a resourceful and patient man. He uses those then years to plan elaborate revenge on everyone he sees as being involved in this miscarriage of justice.
This film has found a following of non-discriminating viewers who will doubtlessly defend its glaring flaws with the "it's only a movie" defense. It is only a movie. It is a bad movie that plays like Death Wish crossed with Saw. It's unoriginal, over the top result is suitable viewing for fanas of the genre, but likely to be somewhere between nap-worthy and reactionary junk for others.

Blitzboks to face Fiji in quarters
5 Feb 2010
The Springbok Sevens disappointed with a 19-7 defeat against New Zealand in the final match of day one in the Wellington tournament.
Although both sides had already confirmed Cup quarterfinal qualification, South Africa and New Zealand faced each other in a crucial Pool A game. The winners would move on to an easier fixture against Australia, while the losers would meet an in form Fijian outfit.
Considering the Boks lost against Fiji in the last two Cup quarterfinals, it was important for Paul Treu's charges to top Pool A.
However – not for the first time – the Blitzboks failed to perform when it mattered most as they went down to hosts New Zealand as they conceded two late tries.
South Africa had the upper hand for most of the first stanza, as they kept the Kiwis restricted in their half. However, poor defence from stalwart Mzwandile Stick allowed Sherwin Stowers to slip past for the opening try.
On the half-time mark, a late attack from the Blitzboks saw Ryno Benjamin through and Stick added the conversion to level the scores.
After the break, South Africa stole the early momentum again, but lacked the composure in attack to take the lead.
This cost the World Series champions as New Zealand went ahead two minutes from time through Zar Lawrence.
The result was confirmed when Chris Baker crossed the chalk in the final minute.
Earlier in the day, the Blitzboks impressed with two convincing wins against Wales and Niue.
In their second fixture of the day, Cecil Afrika's hat-trick helped the Boks down Wales 38-5 to confirm a place in the Cup quarterfinals.
Afrika crossed the whitewash twice and Marius Schoeman scored a try as the Boks surged into a 19-0 half-time lead.
Afrika then completed his hat-trick after the break, while Ryno Benjamin and Hoffman Maritz crossed the line to seal the win. Wales only managed one consolation try through Ifan Evans.
In the Boks' first match, Western Province speedster Steven Hunt grabbed a brace as they secured a 38-10 against Niue.
South Africa dominated the first half as they scored five tries to take a 31-0 lead at half-time.
Niue, however, produced a better overall performance in the second stanza as the Boks only managed to score one try.
Springboks Sevens results, Day 1:
South Africa 38 Niue 10
South Africa 38 Wales 5
New Zealand 19 South Africa 7

6 Feb 2010, 05:43 am@Big Hit: They obviously haven't heard of iPhones in England yet. Don't worry, bro. Technology will eventually make its way to Chipping Norton once Apple find a way to perfect the special clockwork version and have road-tested it in Etwatwa Township, Ekuruleni (so named after the sound an AK47 bullet makes when flying through a tin shanty)
6 Feb 2010, 05:45 am@KevinRack: wow, intelligent post kevin, Im sure the majority of Saffas on here cringe when they see you displaying the boofhead stereotype that is synonymous (better look that word up) with SA blokes such as yourself..
and just so you know, I am maori.. Nga-puhi on my grandfathers side, tainui on my grandmothers..
showing your ignorance and your inbred rascism kevin, standing ovation here doos!!
6 Feb 2010, 05:58 am@Nils: Yeah, only 1300 people in the whole of the country of Niue and they whack the Scots. It was the national gravedigger who did the damage, aided and abetted by one of the barmen and his brother, who fixes punctures.
6 Feb 2010, 16:16 pm@TheTackler: well nice of you to take time out of your party to give us updates on your iphone, itackles
7 Feb 2010, 03:40 amPoppa69: Eish now if I was fishing that would be nice snoek on the line. Thanks for biting.
You like to give but not take, thats sooo sad!
You see Kiwis still think we are in the dark ages and you have not updated your mindset when dealing with us. That why we caned you in the rugga last year. Keep thinking like that and we will beat in you in NZ next year!
As for your racism card thats so old school too. Try another line, you are sounding like The Tockles spewing the same old racist stereo typing yourself. Your are soo funny, lol, my Jaffa mates said a kiwi would fall for that line.
Haere mai Manuhiri to our blog but less SAffa bashing next time.
Usale kahle -
7 Feb 2010, 03:48 am@KevinRack: 1st time youve "caned" us in the rugga in what, 15-20 years now… congrats on that, will love seeing your response when the kick chase falls flat this year…as it did in the NH eoyt…
why should I stop bashing saffas when its open slather on kiwis? forgot how precious you all are… its funny, a country with as large a population as yours and you still have to pick on a country that has 4 mill in total… guess it must really hurt that we have had it over you guys for so long…
enjoy your fishing…
7 Feb 2010, 04:14 amserious question kevin
with a country your size and the resources it undoubtably has, why dont you guys perform better on the world stage? we currently outrank you in both rugby and soccer, granted you are right up there with the golf and cricket..
is it our administrative skills that upsets you lot? Ive noticed more and more kiwis creeping into the game over there? chris Jack, king Carlos, Plumtree, Tony Brown, the under 21 conditioning coach, cant remember his name, you even got an aussie to help your rugby team.
seriously, you guys didnt claim one medal in the olympics, we got a fair few.. and really, you guys should be challenging USA, Russia, China at the top end of the medal spectrum…
I dont understand it.. can you elaborate some for me?
and this isnt a dig…
7 Feb 2010, 04:15 amOf course it hurts especailly when we have about 3million registered rugby players at all levels!
But even you have to acknowledge that the skill levels in SA have changed. Look at the ripping the ball off the tackle player instead of trying to doner him into the ground. WE have had a fundamental mindset change due to bringing in new ideas and culture, but other teams have not adapted their mindset to our change.
South Africa is experiencing a fundametal change at the moment as those who are not hampered by apartheid menatality are coming through. The future is theirs.
As for having ago at the kick chase, which we all ackowledge as boring and predictable, you guys new the game plan before the kickoff yet you did not adapt.
Agreed, Saffa sides are gonna get hamered this year if they do not diversify their game plans, but thats life.
Cheetahs to do some good things this year. Watchout for their Scrummie, Pretorius. Names to watch out for: Mapoe, Pretoruis, Mbiyso, JPietersen, Ebersholm, Vlundivlo(spelling. -
7 Feb 2010, 04:29 am@KevinRack: the cheetahs are my SA team if I had to support one, they seemed to finish last year playign some great rugby..and all kiwis love the underdog…
While I agree the skillset has changed, I believe you are finally catching up to professionalism after isolation, Im still not sure about the mentality to overpower with brute force… I mean, fantastic player that Brussouw is, he didnt really figure in your guys plans until a forced change was necessary and PDV had to play him..
and agree aqgain, those born from the 90s onwards have had a totally different environmental upbringing, which I believe is a fundamental component of change, but dont think it will fully realise itself for another 20 years or so, when they are in their 40s and 50s and leading the country forward.
heard good things about Mapoe, and the Ebersohn brothers.. and are you referring to Jaco Pretorius?
7 Feb 2010, 04:31 amIts simple, mindset (40% unemployment, no dole system and bad management). The ruling Junta has sacked most managers and replaced them with loayalists in all levels of governement. These skills have migrated and we have to now import skills.
Look at football, we were ranked higher just after aparthied than now??????
The ANC leaders have a milatant mindset. They still think there is a war. We had the Casta Samanya affair and when Atheltics SA got caught out they started talking about war against the International Athletics board. WTF war!
The government has such a large majority they beleive they will rule till ***** comes(that came direct for our esteemded 20 child, 5 wive president whose line is Mshini Wam', or Bring Me My Machine Gun). There is no acoutability for bad management. As long as you are a loyalist you get a job!
Most post revolutionary socities go throught his pain! -
7 Feb 2010, 04:42 amSarel Pretorius: Played last year CC for Griquas.
Brussouw would have not been selected under White! There is part of the mindset change. We have had Brent Russel go through our hands but let go because he was though of been to small! What a shame to see players seeing their future elsewhere.
Its acknowleged that the kiwis have some of the best coaches. I am pleased that we have an open mind to use these skills. I would love to have seen either Mitchell or Deans as coach. -
7 Feb 2010, 04:51 am@KevinRack: have heard the name of Sarel before, havent seen him play though..
I dont think its that you guys dont have the coaches as such, I think its the overall system that is completely different.. I know its very much a provincial mindset in SA, and to a degree also in Australian rugby, whereas it is there in NZ rugby, but from schoolboy right through to senior level, it all builds to climax with the ABs… if SA adopted more of this strategy (and Im thankful you guys havent, yet), then I think you could dominate for 10 years or so, rather then what appears to be resting on your laurels once getting there, if that makes sense..
Id be very scared of a SA forward pack with Mitchell as coach, lets not forget the lead up work he did for Englands forward pack as assistant coach (before taking over the ABs in 2001)..
and I believe Russia is still struggling post revolution, its not a quick fix unfortunately..
7 Feb 2010, 05:02 amYep but history has shown what to avoid to be successful. We have not looked at history and are clearly marching down the same path as Zimbobwe! You would have seen an influx of mainly white migrants from southern africa. That has now changed to educated indiginous africans(espeically Zimbabweans).
Colour has absolutely nothing to do with success, but midnset and culture does!
Back to baiting, sorry but as you know its fun, has any kiwis seen Invictus yet! Its really good! -
7 Feb 2010, 05:08 am@KevinRack: Ive seen Invictus, and though Ill be accused of sour grapes, I thought it lacked something, what Im not sure… the rugby scenes were pitiful and the haka was just downright disrespectful… I mean, clint didnt even mention the Suzie drama , or the gold watch affair or even the fact that they were meeting the "old enemy", such a vibrant history between the two countries rugby wise, but that component was lost completely… and I believe it would have added more impact to the story…
7 Feb 2010, 05:14 am"or the gold watch affair" now thats a new one! Please explain. I know Suzie and her links to a London betting syndicate but gold watch!
7 Feb 2010, 05:15 amimagine mandiba stating in the movie "we need to beat the old enemy to unite this country" now, would you think rugby terms or apartheid???
and this of course would have made the eventual rugby victory in the movie on another level completely, beating the odds AND beating the old "enemies"…
7 Feb 2010, 05:18 amread this kevin
The rugby world was most definitely not in union yesterday after remarks by South Africa's rugby president, Louis Luyt, reduced a banquet to mark the end of the World Cup tournament to acrimonious farce.
In a speech which resonated with the old Afrikaans arrogance, Mr Luyt proclaimed the victorious Springboks as the first 'true' world champions.
'There were no true world champions in the 1987 and 1991 World Cups because South Africa were not there. We have proved our point,' he said.
This prompted New Zealand's defeated captain, Sean Fitzpatrick, to lead his side out of the dinner – but not before some players had approached the top table to take issue with Mr Luyt.
The All Blacks were quickly followed by the French and English. 'It's disgusting. I can not believe what he has said,' Mr Fitzpatrick said afterwards.
The South African Rugby Football Union president's remarks spoiled what should have been a day of celebration for 43 million South Africans. Morne du Plessis, manager of the new world champions, led the apologies.
'Tired and emotional are the words that come to mind, though I am not sure that I followed the theme at that part of Mr Luyt's speech,' he said.
'The difference between being winners and being a sorrowful lot is fragile. We were not there in '87 or '91, and I have my personal doubts about us being able to do anything in terms of winning the World Cup in those years.'
Mr Luyt, who is to diplomacy what Jonah Lomu is to English wingers, compounded his country's embarrassment by inexplicably singling out the Welsh referee Derek Bevan – who officiated at the Springboks' crucial semi-final against France – for special praise. The match, which South Africa won 19-15, was marked by controversy after Mr Bevan denied the French a last-minute try because of an infringement.
To the astonishment of the 1,000 diners – and to the Welshman's obvious embarrassment – Mr Luyt presented him with a £1,000 gold watch, calling him 'the most wonderful referee in the world'.
'If everyone does not think that, I certainly do. I would ask him to step up and receive this gift as the outstanding referee in the World Cup,' the Sarfu president said.
In the spirit of a rapidly disintegrating social event, the mortified Welshman joined his fellow officials as they staged their own walkout in protest at Mr Luyt's behaviour.
'It was something I could have done without,' Mr Bevan said. 'It came out of the blue: I have no idea why he singled me out. It could be misconstrued, and if that is the case, it leaves a bitter taste.'
7 Feb 2010, 05:29 amOk, look at it like this(tongue in cheek). The kiwis have never won a world cup since we re-joined!
Luyt has gone. We have moved on, its time for you to do the same. If you keep thinking we are rockspiders thats fine but at your peril. The majority of SAFFAS dont care any more about the old days, we are somewhere else with our thinking!
Sports physcologists, coaching schools, nutritional experts, foregin experts. Gone is the closed sheltered world. -
7 Feb 2010, 05:33 am@KevinRack: yeah but England have, i dont know which is worse
Ive moved on, but all these things could have helped add drama to the movie, I mean they didnt even show the missed dropped goals by both sides, surely including those would have brought more suspense and an on the edge of the seat finale to the movie..
7 Feb 2010, 05:41 amYep, its true but you cannot never underestimate Mandelas magic and avoiding bloodshed that could have happened. This movie is less about rugby more about doing the right things at the right time. The right man for the right time.
We need another Mandela now. Its far easier to win your freedom than to keep it.
7 Feb 2010, 05:46 amNice chatting Poppa. Gloves are off again, untill the next we meet on Keo!
For a laugh look up Die Antwoord rappers! This will give you an idea of our culture blend like you have achieved in NZ.
E noho r? -
7 Feb 2010, 05:48 am@KevinRack: I was going to suggest that before, that you need another leader who is not intent on "getting even"… it did highlight the measure to a degree of the man mandela is, but it could have delved deeper into that to elicit a much more emotional response from the audience (well a non SA audience I suppose)
7 Feb 2010, 05:50 am@KevinRack: cheers kevin.
Haere Ra..
will have a look at the rappers…

"we desperately needed to win".
be careful Poppa, KR makes Whatever look older than 17.
7 Feb 2010, 20:31 pm@Black Panther: NZ have desperately needed to win the last 5, didn't help them still they have the old amateur '87 carnival to reminsice about
7 Feb 2010, 22:58 pmGot another apple today! Maybe your wife likes 17 year olds….?

The 2011 Scion xB is the customizer's dream. It is a unique vehicle right out of the box, and once customize it, you have a vehicle that is a distinct as you are.
Considering the huge success the Scion brand has had in the U.S. for the past eight years, I'm surprised it took this long to bring them north of the 49th.
The xB is a four-door crossovertype vehicle that has a look all its own. The roof line looks like it has been chopped and the front bumper has an extended look with two large side openings that act as cooling vents. The headlights are projector beams and the Scion emblem is recessed into the grille. Side marker lights are integrated into the side mirrors. The windows are factory tinted, so resist the temptation to tint them any further unless you like paying fines.
Like all good customized vehicles, the attention to detail is important. The xB is no exception. The illuminated gauge cluster features an analog tachometer, fuel and engine temperature gauges, and the Scion driver monitor system that gives specific details including fuel economy, average speed, range and trip time. Sound is also important, so Scion doesn't mess around. Standard is a Pioneer six-speaker audio system, with AM/ FM/CD, MP3/WMA/AAC capability with auxiliary port with USB. There's also an optional 200-watt premium Alpine audio system available with RCA outlets to add external amps and subwoofers.
Plenty of airbags, including dual stage driver and passenger, front seat mounted side, and front and rear side curtain. There is also a front tow hook, child protector rear door locks, engine immobilizer, remote fuel lid release, and security indicator.
The sole engine is a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder aluminum alloy engine with 158 horsepower and 162 lbs.-ft of torque. There is a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission.
9.5/7.2L/100 km (city/highway)
Basic 60,000 km/36 months
Powertrain 100,000 km/60 months
Corrosion Perforation Unlimited km/ 60 months
The Scion xB is quick and agile and is a lot of fun to drive. With a few accessory upgrades from Toyota racing development (TRD), such as lowering coils and high performance sway bars, it could be perfect to take out to the track at Mission speedway.
Toyota announced a Canadian Tuner Challenge earlier this year, in which teams were asked to submit designs for the ultimate customized 2011 Scion vehicle. Three teams across Canada were selected including SR Auto Group of Richmond. Each team received a new 2011 Scion to modify, plus $10,000, and unlimited access to TRD catalogue of accessories for their modifications. Tony Yuen and his team of eight have chosen the Scion XB to customize. Their design is titled Anarchy and will feature a body kit and spoiler, with 19" custom wheels, full black suede interior with blue accent lighting, and features a 32" LED LCD TV. Performance modifications include a supercharger, big brake kit, strut tower brace, sway bars, and an exhaust system. The winner will have their creation on display at this year's SEMA (specialty equipment market association show) in Las Vegas. Join me in wishing our B.C. team good luck!
Very unique vehicle and easily stands out. I could see this vehicle becoming one of the more heavily accessorized vehicles out there.

What's Hot: Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville
Just Opened: Margaritaville
Last month I covered the Horseshoe Casino restaurants. But, I wasn't able to get into Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, nor Binions Steakhouse. Binion's was closed and Margaritaville was lost in an overcrowded chaotic fog much to aggravating for me to deal with. On my return trip I was able to sample Jimmy's Key West namesake.

text: VERSUS THE SCARECROW EPISODE 3: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE PSYCHOTRONIC. I decided to challenge myself and really open the doors of my film knowledge and take on "The Scarecrow Video Movie Guide". It's 808 pages of movies and movie reviews from some of the most knowledgeable movie people you don't know. It's a book put together by a staff that praises, and destroys, some of our favorites and not so favorites. You can read the rest of my series here.

1) who is the master of the tao trio? 2) who is the master of the cloud trio? 3) who is the master of the beast trio 4) who is the master of the bird trio? (un claer if it is either hoho or lucia) thanks
Kyruem: Possibly.
The Tao trio is the only trio group without a trio master. However, some fans speculate that Kyurem is the corpse of the original dragon after it was split into two. Also, Kyurem's two new formes share various design elements with Reshiram and Zekrom. In this case, Kyurem could be an internal trio master, much like Rayquaza.
Landorus punished Thundurus and Tornadus for bringing mass destruction with their thunder and wind storms. As such, it cannot be battled until both of the latter are brought to the Abundant Shrine.
After the three Pokémon perished in the fire at the Burned Tower, Ho-Oh revived them.
Lugia is the only one who can end the legendary birds' conflict, as seen in the second movie.
