5. | Contradiction | ||
"Compassionate Conservative." I am a compassionate conservative. Please excuse me, I need to go join the army so I can kill - no, I mean "help" - the people in Iraq.
How come some people can have examples without the word and I can't? Contradiction |
1. | contradiction | ||
A contradiction is two propositions used in combination where one makes the other impossible. It is something that is A and non-A at the same time. A contradiction, therefore, cannot exist in reality, since existence exists (whereas a contradiction could not possibly exist). In the cognitive process, reaching a contradiction as a conclusion or evaluation of reality is proof of an error in one's thinking. A square circle is a contradiction in terms. It cannot even be imagined.
"Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned." (Avicenna, Medieval Philosopher) |
2. | Contradiction | ||
Saying a war is in its "last throes" and then saying "there is more work to do" Iraq will be finished in sixth months tops.
(3 years later) hey, it could go one 5 , 7, 9, 12 years is a possibility. |
3. | contradiction | ||
Calling something two things that are the opposite of each other. Contradictions: That chick is so hot, but ugly.
That game was cool, but gay. I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet, but ask me for money, I'll slaughter you. |
4. | Contradiction | ||
The stupidest essay error of all time, and clearly points out that you couldn't possibly know less about the thing you were talking about, unless of course you acknowledge the contradiction. Adolf Hitler was a cunning philanthropist. He was skilled in painting art, and led the Nazi regime, whose genocide was the leading cause of death for Jews in Europe at the time.
The Bible does not present all accurate information, and contains quite a few contradictions. In 2 Samuel, 24:1, God is the person to tell David to count his Israelite troops, but oddly, in I Chronicles 2, 1:1, Satan is counted as the person to tell David to count his troops. |
6. | Contradiction | ||
Verb - When a person says something, and the person who said it, does the opposite of what he/she said. "Hey, Lisa, don't eat at McDonalds, its bad for you."
"Kevin, I thought you said not to eat at McDonalds? You said it was bad for you. You're contradicting yourself you know." (He eats at McDonalds despite telling other people not too.) "Don't date her, she's not a good influence." (Then he turns around and dates her, despite what he earlier said.) "Why would you contradict yourself like that?" Contradiction |
7. | Contradiction | ||
An argument that can be turned either way; one where you have no more or less higher ground than your opposition.
Note: people with a podium or any method of voicing an opinion believe they have the higher ground. Gays boycott companies that don't accept gays. This is the companies choice, people. They don't have to agree with you. or Gays boycott companies that don't accept gays. This is the persons choice. They don't have to agree with every company. That sentence was a contradiction, it really did nothing to further your point.

I guess that is one thing I do, When I love a band as much as I do Godsmack I want to learn as much about them I can about them and understand the music they make, then again I am a rather strange guy. Later
On Sun, Apr 1, 2012 at 8:16 PM, TrulySmacked said:
Since we have mentioned Tommy Stewart, the former drummer what band is he with now, he has played with several bands but what band did he start after leaving Godsmack?
On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 7:13 PM, TrulySmacked said:
OH NO!!!!!! Sorry another trick question, Sully Laid the drum tracks down cause Stewart left just as they were starting the album so Shannon was not officially with the band yet. Sorry

The number of homes fully owned by occupants has declined over the past five years, according to RP Data's analysis of the 2011 Census results.
The latest Census data shows 32.1 percent of households were fully owned by occupants in 2011, down from 34.0 percent recorded in the 2006 Census.
The number of mortgaged households increased from 34.1 percent in the 2006 Census, to 34.9 percent in 2011. The number of households rented also increased over the past five years, from 28.1 percent to 29.6 percent.
Cameron Kusher, RP Data research analyst, says these figures show levels of home ownership are falling, which he attributes to a shortage of supply at affordable price points.
Kusher says a comparison of current median house price to the median family income shows the typical home is 5.2 times more expensive – this is down from 5.3 times at the 2006 Census.
A comparison of median house price to household income shows the typical home is 6.3 times more expensive, an increase from the 6.1 times recorded in 2006.
Kusher says as at August 2011, the median dwelling price in Australia was $404,000. In 2006 the median dwelling price was $325,000, representing a total growth over the period of 24.3 percent.

We all need to build a certain degree of exercise into our lives, but the key to continued success is to find the activities which best fit in with your day-to-day lifestyle. For some people, finding regular time to commit to exercising is not only difficult – it makes you feel as though you're stuck in a rut before you begin. For others, it's more about muscle tone and relaxation than pounding the streets to lose weight and build stamina. Then there are those of us who would rather not bother at all. Take this quiz to find out which types of exercise will be easiest for you to maintain.

Gary no if anything he seemed underpowered for the so called 'threat' he posed, losing before Ash in the Indigo League then losing to Ash.
Harrison no, IIRC he didn't win the Johto League if he was overpowered then he would have won the league, besides the fact his Blaziken was so injured from the fight with Charizard that he couldn't compete shows he wasn't overpowered.
Paul, hmm yes and no, after all his philosophy of training was to always seek out the strongest before catching them and working from there, besides he was an experienced trainer who'd been traveling just as much as Ash.
Tobias yes he was overpowered.
Tyson is a tricky one, he was clearly older than Ash which means he had probably been in quite a few leagues, remember Ash is still 10 and he's been in four leagues, a filler league and the battle frontier, so it's reasonable to assume Tyson had done some traveling before hand.
Cynthia is a champion she's meant to be ultra powerful, besides in the games all her Pokémon have perfect IV's...
Trip's Serperior is OP.
Iris' Dragonite... yeah probably OP.
Harison?? No way....
Kotetsu is so annoying. I hope he'll be a little more likeable in his next episode.
I like Kotetsu, very entertained by him. Wish he was sticking around for a little while though, was hoping he had the Golurk and would be apart of the Team Rocket episodes. I wish the rivals got roles in the Team Rocket episodes. Oh well.
If Burgundy does appear in the League, I hope she makes it through the first round. No one is taking her seriously because of her previous loses, I hope she wasn't created just to lose.
Pesky forum trolls
I don't hate Kotetsu. I do like some qualities of him, such as having the remote instead of the pokedex, thinking the league was in johto, and thinking he only needed seven badges, but he reminds me too much of Barry and Bianca. I liked Ferrothorn in the Dragonite episode so I'd imagine that his would be pretty similar and Samurott just looked plain awesome even though I saw him for only 3 seconds in the preview. So my opinion of pokemon are usually based off of power/awesomeness in battle, and the trainers are usually based off personality. So I don't hate hime per-say, I was just agreeing with Thing in saying he is annoying. But who knows? Maybe by the end of Unova he will be one of my favorite characters. It took me a LONG time to like Iris.
I got a name for Burgundy's curse Ursula syndrome its where you have clear skill but the plot never gives you annoportunity to win.
Kotetsu's quite a funny guy to me so far, with that hyper and confident yet so scatterbrained personality. He's kinda like Barry's and Morrison's lovechild. (Likey!) Riolu having to act the straight man is a fun plus but he's also like his trainer which is cute!
For an odd reason his design makes me think too much of Inazuma Eleven. Might be because of several reasons... (color scheme, his age and clothing maybe...)
Last edited by Young Horsetail; 9th September 2012 at 2:26 PM.
I'm really hoping that Kotetsu doesn't exist to simply knock Ash out of the league. If anything, I'm hoping that he'll be one of those "Final Exam" opponents he has to face before he goes against Trip.

Look for the mark and you'll find a safer product.
Green. Eco-friendly. Natural. You have probably seen these and other similar terms in ads or on the labels of many products being marketed to today's environmentally conscious consumers. Did you know, though, that many of these terms are not really defined in any official way?
To help consumers, regulators, and businesses have more confidence when purchasing "green" products, not-for-profit organizations, such as NSF International, as well as government agencies, including U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), have been working to develop independent programs and standards that establish requirements for many products making such claims.
To learn more about many of these programs, as well as general tips for eco-friendly living, select one of the options on the A to Z menu to the left.

The Word Carrier. VOLUME XX. HELPING THE RIGHT. EXPOSING THE AVltONG. MMlU.lt li. SANTEE AGENCY, NEBRASKA. DECEMBER, i8gi. FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR. OL'K PLATFORM. For Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes'. We want American Rights'. The result of which is American Citizenship! And the gospel is the Power of God for Qieir Salvation. . The decision of Assistant Attorney General Shields in regard to the citizenship of mixed-bloods is very far reaching. The rule followed is that the offspring follows the condition of the father, and the question whether persons are Indians or not is "not one depending for its solution upon the amount of Indian blood flowing in the veins of the persons whose status is in question." Consequently all persons, connected however remotely through the male line with a white progenitor who was a citizen, are not Indians but Avhite citizens even though they have an infinitesimal amount of white blood. In ten generations it might be less than one-thousandth part Avhite. It is to be hoped that this decision will speedily be carried into the courts and affirmed or set aside. The unsettlement of every-thing in the Indian country and upon the neAvly ceded lands is disastrous, and should not he prolonged. Every vvhere white men are jumping Indian allotments Avhere the occupant has any suspicion of white blood in him. And the Indian has no protection except to jump his own claim,a dodge that he is not up to yet. Great injury and Avrong will come to thousands of mixed-blood children avIio are essentially Indians,andAvho will be thrown outhomeless and penniless. Weare glad to hear that an Association of Mixed-Bloods has already organized to carry the matter into the courts. President Harrison speaks like a politician Avhenhetalks, inhis annual message, about Indian education. He dodges the question of subsidizing the church schools, and goes off on the grand future advantages to the Indian of being in mixed schools Avith the Avhites. As this is as far off as the Avinding up of the affairs of the Indian Bureau it is somewhat far fetched. By this gaze on that dis-' tant future he escapes the inconvenience of saying anything that Avould stir up the Romanists. Meanwhile the grab game is to go on unchecked, and "This will enable those religious bodies that have undertaken the Avork of Indian education with so much zeal to place their institutions in neAv and useful relations." And having depleted the United States treasury they ought to be"enabled." TWO HEKOES OF THE DAKOTA MISSION. During the year 1891 two men, notable in the annals of the Dakota Mission, passed, hoary with the frosts of time, quietly across the narrow stream that separated them from their heavenly home. They Avere Rev. Samuel W. Pond who died at Shakopee, Minn., December 12, 1891, and Simon Anawangmani, who died at Sisseton Agency, S, D., July 20, 1891. Mr. Pond was born in 1808 in an enlightened NeAV England home. Anawangmani was probably bom the some year, but far away on the banks of the Minnesota in a lowly Indian teepee. Alike in early manhood they gave themselves to Christ; and devotion to him became their strongest passion, and led them ahead of their times to take those first steps in danger which show the heroic heart. Rev. Samuel Pond was the first man to bring the Gospel to the Dakotas, and Simon Anawangmani was the first full Indian man to profess Christ. The Dakota Mission and Dakota Christians should ever remember these brave men in whose footsteps they have trod. It was in May, 1834, nearly 58 : years ago, that Mr. Samuel Pond, j with his brother Gideon, appeared at Fort Snelling in the office of Major ! Taliferro, who was the first and so j far the .only Agent for the Dakota j Indians, and informed him thatthey j had come to teach the Dakotas. ; The previous winter Mr. Samuel Pond had taught school at Galena, 111., the last Avhite village towards the setting sun. There hearing of the sad spiritual condition of the Dakotas, he took it as a call from God to go and teach them Christ. He stopped not to confer with flesh and blood, he asked no missionary society for a commission, he stopped to pursue no classical or theological course, but taking with him his younger brother he went—Bible in one hand and an ax in the other, to he the Lord's missionary. He was soon building his log-cabin on : the shores of Lake Calhoun, now in ', the suburbs of Minneapolis, and at I the same time learning the language ! and doing what he could for the temporal and spiritual improvement I of the Indians. The language was | the first great citadal to be stormed, ' and with his brother he made it a | systematic study. He found no books to help him. Sometime before him a military officer or trader had undertaken to jot doAvn some I Dakota words, but between their ' untrained ears, and the European notations they used, no one could reproduce the words from their writ- i ings unless they already knew the language. Mr. Pond discovering ; this, discarded their notation and struck out for a phonetic represen- tation. A character for every sound, and only one sound to a character was his rule. By one who knew the language, a reduction with this rule : might have speedily been made. But with many strange sounds, ; grunts and clicks it was slow and delicate work. However before the end of a year he had the satisfaction of teaching one young man so I that he could read and write his oavu language. Of this first Dakota scholar named Mazalidamani, Mr. Pond has given an .account in the Word Carrier of June, 1874. It was however some years later before the Dakota alphabet as Ave now use it Avas entirely settled, and in the meantime the missionaries T. S. Williamson, S. R- Riggs and others had arrived to take a hand in the superstructure. But Mr. Pond stud- I ied out the plan, as I understand, I and laid the foundations of the ! present system of writing the Dakota language, so that it may justly be i called the Pond notation. Mr. Pond ! prepared the first Primer printed m the Dakota language, and some of the first translations of portions of ! Scripture. Some Language Lessons or Grammar of the Dakota Lan guage Avas written by him, also Vocabularies of Dakota words. He did not hoAvever send these to the press, but they Avere copied by the early missionaries generally, and were of very great use to the missionary service, and we who have built upon his labors gratefully acknowledge our obligations. Mr. Pond's zeal and devotion led him not only to build his cabin in a Avild Indian village, but also to join with the Indians in their hunts, sharing their teepee, their wild food, their pangs of hunger and the dangers of war. This was an outing for the teacher instead of the pupil, and under many circumstances is more practical for the improvement of the Indian than the so- called Capt. Pratt's outing system. Mr. Pond labored 18 years among different bands of the Sioux but principally among the Lake Calhoun and Shakopee bands. Owing to the Treaty of 1851 the Sioux removed in 1852 to the Bedwood Reservation, and Mr. Pond then turned his attention to the incoming Avhites. He gathered the church at Shakopee which he supplied till 1866. He died in tbe house near Shakopee in which he had lived for 44 years, the lumber for which he hauled on the ice from the mouth of the St. Croix and in Avhich the Avriter,then a boy, lent a helping band. Mr. Pond's devotion to the Indian Avas his first love, and without doubt his greatest love. We believe Indian missionaries and Indian Christians were to the last his most Avelcome guests. He rejoiced in the later fruits of the Dakota Mission. The troubles of the late Messiah craze troubled his heart, and he was illy reconciled to the bloodshed at Wounded Knee. Mr. Pond was a born independent, and started out to the heathen on his own responsibility,yet he was not opposed to organized missionary effort. When other laborers entered the field, he joined with them and became a missionary of the American Board. It may comfort some of our straitened missionaries now to know that the average salary of a missionary in those days was $300. a year, and this was the most that Mr. Pond ever received. Mr. Pond was ordained by a Congregational Council in his native state March 4,1837. When the Dakota Presbytery was organized in 1844, he became one of the organic members, and his ministerial connection was thereafter Avith the Presbyterian Church. Bev. Dr. Neill preached his funeral sermon. Mr. Pond Avas first married in 1838 to Cordelia Eggleston. Three children by this union survive him. Mrs. Bebecca Dean of Minneapolis, Mr. Judson Pond of Shakopee, and Mr. Samuel W. Pond, Jr. of Minneapolis. They are all married and pleasantly surrounded by their loving children. Mrs. Pond died when her children were small, and afterwards Mr. Pond married Susan R. Smith who became a loving mother to the children, and preceded her husband a few months to the land of glory. Ofthe early Dakota converts Simon AnaAvangmani is in many ways the most prominent character. Old Joseph Renville,the half-breed Trader and his family became Christians be fore him, but that made no break in heathenism. Some heathen women too had been converted like good old Catharine, and she Avas a hero. But Anawangmani was the Indian man converted. He was not the first Indian that learned to read, nor was he a bright scholar when heAvas taught by Dr. T. S. Williamson at Lac qui Parle in the winter of 1835-6,an account of whieh scliool ma y he found in the Word Carrier of March, 1876. But he did learn to read, and held on to what he learned. There has been a great deal written about Indian bravery. The truth is, Indians like other people are some brave and some cowards. There was no doubt about Aiiitwangmtuti's bravery. As an Indian warrior in his youth he attained to the distinction of First Brave. That was his first victory. Then at Lac qui Parle after several years of study he accepted the Christian faith, and on February 21, 1841 made public profession of his faith. And then came the battle. Instead of the most honorable place which he had held in his nation, he was iioav cast out with the dogs. Even the Avomen and children sneered at him. Even his wife deserted him under the most vexatious circumstances. But none of these things moved him. He set up his teepee with his own hands, took care ofthe deserted baby and dug up his garden by turns, and then read the Bible and prayed to God every night. This Avas his second victory. True, in after life he made some slips, stepping a little too high he stumbled, but his Master raised him up again, and for over 30 years before he died he was an active, irreproachable elder in the church, and a very humble Christian. But Simon Anawangmani will be remembered for what he did in another line. Before the Massacre of 1862 Anawangmani Avas living like a white man on a well-fenced farm, in a comfortable house, close to Dr. S. R. Itiggs' church, of whicli he was a ruling elder. August 19,1862 the news of the terrible butchery of that morning reached his ears. Soon the missionaries and their families were fleeing, for whom he did what he could. The Hostiles were galloping every where driving all the Indians into the war- camp. Against the entreaty of his friends he heeded them not. The Hostile camp was iioav made on the edge of his farm. A poor captive Avhite woman, hearing him at evening worship, came secretly and besought him to save her. He believed that was his work. By night he took her and her children safely through the hostile lines and stopped not till he had them over 50 miles away in the Camp at Fort Ridgely. There he entered the service under Gen. Sibley, with whom he remained through the Indian Avar, performing dangerous and valuable service. This Avas his third victory.and one for which he will live in the memory »f the good citizens of Minnesota. Hewasalay commis- ssioner to the General Assembly that met in Minneapolis, and those who attended the Missionary Meeting will remember his meek appearance as he Avas called to the platform to receive the honors of the meeting. John P. Williamson.

Skyline Country Club is a semi-private club that welcomes golfers with sweeping views of the Berkshire mountains and glimmering waters that intersect the grounds. Elevation changes and blind tee shots are frequent throughout the 6,075-yard course, as seen on the 4th hole, which rewards precise tee shots of roughly 110–165 yards with an easy 110-yard shot to the green. The par 5 12th, the course's most difficult hole, forces players to drive onto a tight fairway along the straight 490-yard layout that ends with a false front, a greenside slope that often tricks golfers and sends balls rolling back toward the player like an industrial-grade pop-a-shot. After finishing the course with two consecutive par 4's, golfers can retire to the Club's pub for drinks and eats on the open-air deck, which offers views of the surrounding landscape.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 71 course
- Total length of 6,075 yards from the back tees
- Three sets of tees per hole
Even after dusk in the summertime, visitors to Engelke Farm are riding ziplines, whizzing through the air at 20 miles per hour. Suspended 60 feet in air, the cables allow exquisite views of golden cornfields and rolling, tree-dotted hills. Those content to remain earthbound can peruse the greenhouse, pluck strawberries and blackberries from the pick-your-own produce patches, or wander the cornfields, challenging scarecrows to staring contests.
The proprietor and chief guide behind Hilltown Wilderness Adventures, Marla BB, invites patrons to hitch their dreams of adventure onto the backs of her alaskan huskies for mushing, skijoring, and outdoor excursions in the Berkshires. Her hallmark attraction is mushing through both snowy hills and on dryland tracks—a unique offering for the region that has earned her attention from media outlets such as Mushing magazine and Animal Planet.
The skijoring and sled-dog school teaches novices how to captain a team of dogs either in a sled or on skis, which can give them give them a way to skip long ski-resort lift lines. Marla also leads day excursions through DAR State Forest, Chesterfield Gorge and Westfield River, and the Deerfield River Watershed, keeping bikers, hikers, kayakers, and bird watchers safe as she is a certified wilderness first responder and an expert in swift-water safety and rescue.

The Blandford Ski Area has remained a family mountain for 75 years through its commitment to education and gentle terrain. Crisscrossed with beginner and intermediate trails, the basin serves as a fertile development ground for burgeoning skiers and boarders, and a venue for après-ski live music. Children as young as age 3 practice their snowplow in the Ski with Me program, and sportfolk with energy to burn hit the terrain park or stay after sundown for night runs lit by floodlights. When natural snow runs short, machines kick into gear to slick slopes in fresh powder or the corn oil favored by the Blandford alpine racing team.
Nestled in the verdant mountains of Lake Luzerne, Adirondack Tubing Adventures launches inner tubes, rafts, and kayaks on guided adventures down the Hudson River. Watercrafts pile up around its rustic cabin, where colorfully painted school buses await to cart parties to their body of water of choice.

Robinson steps down
25 Nov 2012
Andy Robinson has resigned as Scotland head coach following a shocking loss to Tonga over the weekend.
Tonga recorded a 21-15 win over Scotland in Aberdeen on Saturday. The Pacific Islanders sealed the result with two tries in the second half, despite being issued two yellow cards during the game.
The loss was Scotland's 10th in 13 games and it was Robinson's 19th defeat in 35 fixtures. Scotland also suffered the wooden spoon in the 2012 Six Nations.
Despite being contracted until the end of the 2015 World Cup, the English coach decided to resign.
'I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the players and the coaches in the last few years,' Robinson said in a statement. 'I believe I have left the team in a better position than when I took over and have great confidence in the players and the coaches for the future.
'I am very disappointed by our recent results but I have belief in the players to develop into a winning team.'
Current assistant coach Scott Johnson is one of the favourites to succeed Robinson. Reports up north have also mentioned South African coach Nick Mallett as a possible candidate.

25 Nov 2012, 18:49 pmAnd on the other side of the world fans are demanding Heyneke Meyers' head because he only managed to take the Boks to the nr. 2 ranking in the world in his first season coaching at that level.
The shock, horror and indignation of the supporters stem from the fact that he only managed to beat Australia once, England 3 times and some other less important teams once.
Drawing to England and Argentina caused near heart attacks and losing to New Zealand gave their supporters infinite bragging rights, much to the chargin of the Bok supporters who must wait till next year to see if those results can be reversed. -
25 Nov 2012, 19:11 pm@nortierd-1: Seems you have learnt something from Malema. Step one create a none existent enemy and step two paint yourself as the selfless fighter for justice or a cause against the enemy you created. We are all bok fans, we have criticised Meyer's selections and some of the reasons he has tried to sell us but we did not call for his head.
25 Nov 2012, 19:13 pm -
25 Nov 2012, 19:22 pm@digger-2:
Just trying to lighten the mood some Digger.
Everyone is so serious here, and I am the last to campaign or fight for anything.
No one accused you personally for calling for his head, but many people are and maybe they have a point, but it won't change anything, so why bother?
To us it's a game we enjoy, to HM and Andy Robinson it's their livelihood.
Andy fared poorly and his side lost one too many and he is without a job.
HM has more riding on the outcome of matches than we do. -
25 Nov 2012, 19:42 pm@nortierd-4: Point taken, it is indeed a game we all enjoy. Some are more passionate, dare I say more misguided than others but at the end of the day we all want the boks to win. It would be very nice if they could win "nice" too.
25 Nov 2012, 19:54 pm@digger-5:
I couldn't agree more.
Let's hope next year they display the game plan we all want to see, or at least some glimpses of it. -
25 Nov 2012, 19:55 pmThe funny thing was the Tongan set piece was poor yesterday, poor line outs and scrums, poor goalkicking, their backs toore Scotland a new a@se, the pitch was 6 metres narrower making it easier for Scotland to defend. With a wider pitch we would have been beaten by another 10-12 points at least. Tongas offloading and handling skills were 10 times better than the Boks! Robinson will go and i guarantee the new coach wont make a damn bit of difference. We cannot score tries, we raise our game for big teams and lose gallantly we play weaker teams and we play down to their level and lose. The elitist attitude in Scotland hurts our game, absolutely nobody North of Glasgow will ever get to play rugby at any decent level because the selectors only select upper class publicly educated toffy nosed students from Edinburgh,Glasgow and the borders area. Ive known a few guys who were on my development team bench that because they moved to these areas managed to get selected for a level of rugby which they had no business competing in
25 Nov 2012, 20:01 pm@dquinn25-7:
Interesting, thanks for that, not the type of insight we would usually be privy to.
I guess after the win in Australia the supporters were positive for the future?
I've always been partial to Scotland, ever since the Lions tour of '80. Andy Irvine was my first "hero" if one can call it that and of course Flower of Scotland is to me the best anthem to listen to. -
25 Nov 2012, 20:12 pmToo true. I've seen the opposite, good players dwindling away and missing top coaching opportunities because they weren't at the right high school!
25 Nov 2012, 20:19 pm@lightie-9:
Yep, always been like that.
Just taken to a new level in today's time, pretty much come down to if you don't get a contract at 16 you can find something else to do.
Luckily the Varsity Cup has given some a chance and maybe the new club championship will unearth another couple who went to wrong schools -
25 Nov 2012, 21:13 pm@lightie-9: Me too, seen guys totally quitting the sport and developing a hatred for the snobby attitudes associated with it.
25 Nov 2012, 21:27 pmwho cares; WP are Currie Cup CHAMPIONS !!!! Champions, Champions, Champions !!!!
26 Nov 2012, 10:34 amTonga beat France at RWC 11 so they are hardly pathetic
Scotland have just never been a quality side since last days of Gavin Hastings

When it comes to budget beauty buys you can really find some great products that perform just as well as high end products.The drugstore can be overwhelming at times, that's why it's important to do your research! The site 'Makeup Alley' comes in use when referring to product reviews. It gives each product a 1-5 star rating and users can add their own reviews! I find it very helpful when I want a non biased opinion.
Revlon make great products that perform just as well as most high end brands, I am currently a big fan of their Color burst lip gloss in 'Bellini'. Bellini is a milky toned peach gloss with slight shimmer. It looks equally as beautiful applied alone or over lipstick.
Drugstore skincare can be more challenging, as most drugstore products don't contain a good SPF as well as beneficial ingredients . The Olay Total effects daily moisturizer is one of my favorites as it's Non-Comedogenic, oil free and has a ton of antioxidants.
When buying a moisturizer it's always important to try to find one that does more than just hydrate your skin but if you are just in the market for a moisturizer that just hydrates the skin, then I would recommend Cetaphil as it is fragrance free and contains no lanolins or parabens.
Splurging on items such as mascara is a 'no no' as they dry out within 3 months. Maybelline and L'oreal make some of the best mascara I've tried. L'oreal Telescopic and Maybelline The Rocket volum' Express are some of my top picks!
Which drugstore products do you rate?

[H][Balnazzar] <Skunkworks> 8/16HM 25-man, 2 nights/week, Tu/Th 9-1 CST
Skunkworks of US-Balnazzar is the #1 2 night per week 25-man guild, a position we have had since at least Heroic Lich King. Just 2 nights, 8 hours per week, highlights include:
We have a small roster. All spots are full time raid spots. 90%+ attendance is required. Tuesday/Thursday, 7-11 PST, 10-2 EST Visit our website at: Skunkworks :: Balnazzar and apply at: Skunkworks :: Balnazzar Progression nuts and bolts can be found at: WoW Guild Skunkworks @ Balnazzar :: WoWProgress - World of Warcraft Rankings and History Who we are: Skunkworks is a guild for stellar players who can not or do not want to commit to the time-intensive raid schedules of traditional "hardcore" guilds. Many of our raiders have come from top guilds but have discovered that things such as their wives, children or high-octane careers take up more time than slaying internet dragons for 20+ hours a week will allow. If you want to kill <Expansion Endboss>, but your newly acquired significant other, job, child, puppy doesn't understand that "lame fantasy thing you do," then we might be what you're looking for. We raid Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-11 PST, even after patch releases and during progression races and have done so since our inception. That's right, just 8 hours a week. The guild was formed to take advantage of some of the "casual friendly" changes that were brought by WotLK and have successfully pushed the limits of what can be achieved by an amazing group of players on a casual schedule. Who we expect you to be: We are very protective of our guild environment and selective in recruitment. Applicants will only be considered if they demonstrate above-average intelligence, exemplary skill, a thorough understanding of game mechanics, a high level of maturity, a strong command of the English language, and above all a complete and total lack of epeening, douchebaggery, asshattery, and anything else that would make you unpleasant to be around. We all get paid to deal with idiots, why should we pay to spend our leisure time with them as well? If that sounds appealing, and you meet our admittedly high expectations, then I can unequivocally promise you that Skunkworks will be the best online nerd experience you will ever have the pleasure of being a part of. How to apply and our EZ-mode application template: Apply via our forums (Skunkworks :: Balnazzar). Private applications can be sent to our officers. Next, tell us as best you can and in whatever format you think will be most persuasive, why we should want you as a raider and guild mate. To be taken seriously, applications need to include (but are not limited to):
It is impossible for your application to be too long or too detailed. We like stories. We also understand that not everyone is a Pulitzer Prize winning essayist, and that some people may find an open format intimidating. If that's you, then be sure to include what we ask for above along with an exposition of your awesomeness, and if your application warrants it, you'll get a chance to impress us in vent. Also, feel free to talk to one of our officers in game. Infinitum Tashur Aydin Brolynn You can also PM me. |

Info Graphic Development
Over the past couple of weeks I have been developing my skills in the area of info graphics. The idea is to effectively communicate mass pieces of data in a way that is aesthetic and informative. The photo I've uploaded shows the Graphic Design Process in relation to a client. I have also featured quirky pieces of data to give the piece some charm and personality.
This piece has definitely given me the ambition to create a more complex info graphic, hopefully for a live client with live data. My aim is to produce something that is of value to a business, for example an Info Graphic on customer behaviour.
Really looking forward to cracking on!

Current Research Interests
Dr. Guardinos research pursuits have led to important discoveries in basic immunology and directly and indirectly to the development of immunotherapys for human diseases. She has studied the mechanisms by which the immune system recognizes foreign substances like viruses, microorganisms and cancer and the ways the immune system becomes deregulated and attacks self as seen in autoimmunity. Her research identified the cellular interactions involved in immune recognition and led to treatment strategies for cancer. She is investigating modulation of the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells. Dr. Guardinos studies are aimed at the development of biologic treatment approaches for cancer with less toxicity than standard chemotherapy.
Dr. Guardino is initiating a clinical trial combining a targeted biologic therapy with standard treatments prior to surgery in patients with high risk breast cancer. She is combining standard chemotherapy with a new biologic agent that targets HER2neu on breast cancer cells. The combination should disrupt proliferation pathways and growth of cancer cells. The goal is to improve tumor cell killing with little or no added side effects over chemotherapy alone. The trial also investigates new imaging modalities using breast MRI to monitor tumor responses. The trial will also integrate efforts in microarray analysis to examine genes expressed by the tumor cells. Dr. Guardino will evaluate tumor cell markers to better understand this disease.
Dr. Guardino has also initiated a clinical trial combining standard chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer with a new and very promising biologic treatment for cancer targeting the development of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) which allows a cancer to grow and metastasize. Bevacizumab is a monocloncal antibody which inhibits the protein thought to regulate angiogenesis. By combining bevacizumab with chemotherapy without overlapping side effects she hopes to see higher response rates and improved survival in women with advanced breast cancer.
Dr. Guardino is developing immune therapies and vaccines for breast cancer including dendritic cell approaches and recombinant gene therapy vaccines for early breast cancers that are a high risk and for advanced breast cancer. She continues her dendritic cell vaccine approaches for other cancers while developing this program for breast cancer.
Dr. Guardino is actively involved in community education on breast cancer and hopes to keep women in our local and extended community up to date on the lastest diagnostic tests for detection and advances on the treatment of breast cancer.

- 25Recommendations
I love teaching Pilates and yoga! More importantly, I know you will enjoy the benefits. Many of my students have NEVER taken a yoga or Pilates class before. We all share the goal of having strong, fit, and pain-free bodies, and a clearer understanding of our injuries.
I train and teach over 350 students per calendar year in large and small group settings and specialize in teaching many levels in one room. I am a certified Pilates and yoga instructor, possess a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology and hold special certificates to work with pathologies and injuries.
As an Assistant Professor at Saddleback College, I bring Pilates and yoga to community centers in South Orange County (specifically see locations to the right). I've taught at the college level since 1993.
In addition, I privately teach smaller class sizes (sizes 1-5) in a couple Pilates studios in the Tustin area.
Contact me today at 714.200.3541 I would love to meet you and find ways to help you meet your goals!
Student Recommendations
Rita T. December 27, 2012
"Fleur is a wonderful teacher! She takes the time to explain things and what the benefits are for each exercise. Easy, wonderful class and a lovely teacher!"
Peter C. December 21, 2012
"I have a slouching posture problem for years, and failed to make much improvement over the years. In Fleur's pilates and yoga classes this semester, she helped me to set a reasonable and achievable goal. I work on it, feeling great and start to regain confidence. Fleur is a terrific instructor with personal care for invidual needs. "
Todd G. December 14, 2012
"Fleur is an excellent and conscious professional instructor. She is able to demonstrate, herself, various degrees of difficulty to allow students to choose that which they feel most comfortable. Reminding us to breath, a good concept, but also keeping safe with many reminders of what to not do it you have a … what ever. I always know that I will get a complete and safe workout in her Pilates class."
judy C. December 12, 2012
"i have taken numerous classes with fleur and rate her as excellent. she is clear,patient and takes the time to
correct students as often as they need-flow those
who forget and need repetetition" -
Kathleen M. December 12, 2012
"I take a pilates class through the Saddleback College Emeritus Program. Fleur is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain every move. I feel I am getting a very good workout in her class and plan to continue as long as I am able."
Judy W. December 11, 2012
"Fleur is a terrfic instructor who took great care to make sure I did the poses correctly. She explained body movement and how it related to my back problem and treatment. The environment is very relaxing and the equipment superb. "
keith C. December 4, 2012
"My wife and I have been taking yoga classes from Fleur for the past 2-3 years. With each class we noticed that we are getting a little more flexible. We realise we will never be as good as the Master(sigh). However, being an extremely stiff person before the class, now I can cut my own toe nails. This I consider a major improvement to my quality of life. "
Robbin G. November 30, 2012
"Never have I had such a caring, professional, empathetic, knowledgeable, and wonderful teacher as Fleur Fong. Fleur was there when I was diagnosed with a condition that needed special training for. On her own she researched what would assist me and gave me the information in class the next time I saw her. To this day she provides me with special instruction while teaching the entire class. I would never take another yoga class with any on else. Thank you Fleur you saved my life.....Robbin Glatman"
Maureen O. November 26, 2012
"I feel very lucky to have found Fleur Fong to be my yoga instructor. I have been in her class for about five years now and have never left her weekly class without feeling the benefit to mind and body. The way she encourages her students shows how such a caring person she is. She is always upbeat and never fails to bring a smile on my face - even while I might be groaning as this old body creaks. In short, Fleur Fong is an excellent yoga teacher and I hope to take lessons from her for many years to come."
Linda A. July 13, 2012
"I've only taken one other yoga class, so I'm new at this, but Fleur is great for beginners as well as advanced students. She explains everything so well and is very encouraging. I always leave her class feeling fit physically as well as emotionally. She truly cares about her students. She is kind and patient."
Margaret M. May 30, 2012
"I just love Fleur's classes. I have no previous experience with Yoga and Fleur has made me feel great about being able to learn to do it. She shows modifications for all levels and encourages you to safely try to do your best. I never thought that I could even try yoga and now Fleur has me doing it! Last year, I was a couch potato and Fleur's exercise class got me up and moving. Now, many pounds lighter, Fleur is challenging me to get to new levels. I love Fleur's happy, positive attitude. She respects our senior limitations but keeps on challenging us to do more than we think that we can. Fleur changed my life for the better. "
Betty R. May 25, 2012
"I appreciate Fleur and her instruction style. Her facility in using her expertise is kind and comprehensive. I always felt encouraged and supported in all my efforts. She made me feel safe and able to exceed my own expectations. She has an ability to help me feel successful even when I had misgivings and is very encouraging.
Over the years, I have taken a lot of different courses with a corresponding myriad of instructors and Fleur rates up there at the top!" -
Debra G. May 16, 2012
"I love Fleurs yoga class because its very relaxing and inspiring at the same time. In the 2 years I've been taking the class I've never had any soreness or pain. We are very lucky to have her."
Suellen Z. May 15, 2012
"I have been a student in Fleur's yoga classes for seniors for 8 years. I'm very glad I've had the chance to be her student for so many years, and look forward to many more years. My aging body is still deteriorating, but at a slower pace than it would without the benefits of yoga.
I know from having been a teacher (although in a very different subject) what challenges a teacher faces. Fleur does it with the professionalism that gives her students confidence in her, but also with a personal approach and sense of humor that makes her a person to her students as well as a teacher.
She is excellent at giving us choices for each pose depending upon our own abilities. But she always makes sure we are pushing our own bodies a little further. She emphasizes that we are the best judges of what our bodies will and won't allow us to do. I really appreciate that because no one in our classes has fallen or hurt him/herself.
I love watching the more complicated poses that Fleur can do. She is always improving her own yoga practice to challenge herself although her level is far above ours.
I have enjoyed classes with other yoga teachers, but Fleur combines a mixture of elements in her class that keep bringing me back year after year. " -
Karen R. January 3, 2012
"I am probably a little biased, as I've been fortunate enough to be friends with Fleur since high school and we were able to reconnect a number of years ago. :) This past couple of years I had to re-shape my previously healthy body, as a thyroid condition changed my weight and I had been not working out for the last couple of years; so, I was looking to get back to the gym, do yoga and pilates and generally change my body back (an uphill battle when you have a thyroid to balance out too!). I've done mat pilates on my own at home (DVDs), but went for some private classes with Fleur to kickstart me back on the road to health. And let me qualify by saying: if I did not believe in Fleur's personality and talent, I would not have taken this opportunity to spend time in her private studio space.
What I love is that Fleur takes a comprehensive history along with what you're looking to accomplish with your visits so she can help focus your time together to really hone in on the results you're looking to get. She's ALWAYS cheerful, positive and is very precise in making sure you're using proper form for safety AND so you will see results! Based on your needs, she will customize/tailor a program for optimal results for you as well.
Without a doubt, I would refer Fleur to anyone looking to improve their body that not only wants to see physical results in themselves; but you also will enjoy Fleur's positive, smiling face and encouraging personality to take yourself further through body and mind combined. :) " -
Dileep M. December 2, 2011
"Fleur is an outstanding yoga teacher. She brings professionalism and gives personal attention to students in class.
Fleur has a knack to properly warm up and then move to the full stretches, which is so necessary for seniors and every one else.
This is my first introduction to yoga, and Fleur has made it fun.
Thank you Fleur." -
Mo C. November 20, 2011
"I work long hours in my office. Were it not for Fleur's professionalism, personal attention, intelligence and kindness, as well as her ability to create a very personal program for me, incorporating assorted physical limitations and issues, I would not be able to motivate myself to show up! She is terrific, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
Jay H. November 14, 2011
"I have really enjoyed group reformer classes with Fleur. She is a fun and professional teacher. The classes are always different, and I really appreciate the variety. She has a good eye for technique and is very encouraging. Classes always start right on time, and she is a true professional."
Marci M. November 14, 2011
"I will be starting my 3rd Pilates class with Fleur next month. The class is well paced and small enough to be effective. She's able to tweak each persons workout based upon their ability level. Most of all, Fleur has an energetic yet calm nature that makes the entire experience a pleasure. "
Denise C. November 13, 2011
"I have been taking yoga from Fleur for at least 5 years, and I am still enjoying it. I am more limber now then I was when I was in high school. Getting older really stinks, so keeping my body strong really helps. Almost a year ago I started her private pilates class and really love the one on one even more. Fleur knows my bodies weak areas and has helped me get stronger in those areas. The pilates session is a great overall work out that I enjoy EVERY week. One more thing, Fleur is educated in the human body and knows the muscle groups and how they relate to each other. And best of all she is a very sweet and caring person, enjoys what see is doing and cares about her students. "
Katie W. November 12, 2011
"I did my first Pilates Reformer class session with Fleur and it was wonderful! She was very hands on making sure everyone was in the correct position from beginners (like me!) to others who were familiar with the reformer. I also like that each week she worked other parts of the body and used different equipment, or the reformer in different ways, to really show us what you can do with pilates. I will definately take another class with Fleur! I highly recommend the group reformer class to anyone at any level!"
Nachiko L. August 9, 2011
"I started to take Fleur's Yoga class three years ago. Even though I could practice Yoga for free elsewhere, I choose her class in Lake Forest with fee just because I want to have her as my instructor. She is personable and very pleasant. She challenges us to push a little more without hurting ourselves. For this reason she often gives us a few optional ways to achieve the poses so that students can choose the most suitable one based on their condition of the day or the level. Her verbal instructions are also so clear that I could follow with my eyes closed, and this enables me to concentrate on my forms. She even gives hands-on instructions to help achieve the correct poses. Other quality that I appreciate very much is her calming effect on her students. I had four other Yoga instructors in the past, and she offers the most effective and most enjoyable class."
Jane Z. August 8, 2011
"I have been taking yoga with Fleur for six years. There are various levels of fitness in the class so she offers options for many of the poses. Thus, everyone can succeed and be comfortable in the class. Thanks Fleur "
Ann F. August 3, 2011
"I have been taking Fleur's yoga class for quite a few years now. It has really helped me stay flexible and able to maintain a better balance. She is a wonderful and patient teacher with her students. I look forward to her classes. Thank you Fleur!"
keith C. July 27, 2011
"My wife Teresa and myself have been taking Fleur's class for over two years. We find that her class is suited for our needs. It is not too strenuous and not too relaxed and she is very patient. It relaxes my mind and body. I am a very stiff person but after taking the class I can bend over and clipping my toe nails without any effort. We are very happy that we have Fluer as our instructor."

DOBSON — The Surry County Sports Hall of Fame Committee along with the Surry County Parks and Recreation will induct Blois (Bud) Grissom along with John B. Anderson, Ed Callaway, Donald Gray Davis Sr., Richard (Buzz) Hauser, F.A. Martin, Ben Norman and Kelly Jack swift into the Surry County Sports Hall of Fame on Saturday at 4 p.m., in the Surry Community College gymnasium.
The ceremony will include a Ring of Honor awards ceremony, honoring teams, individuals, groups or organizations who have contributed to the community because of their love of sports. Ring of Honor inductees this year are the 2002 Mount Airy Basketball team, Robert H. Moody, Al Peavy and Keri W. Campbell and Christie Sanders.
Blois (Bud) Grissom graduated from Elkin High School in 1968, where he earned recognition as the All-Conference Northwestern 3A Football Defensive Tackle, Honorable Mention Prep All-American, and received an invitation to play in the North Carolina Shrine Bowl Game.
He went on to play defensive tackle under Bill Dooley for the North Carolina Tarheels, competing on a team that won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship that year.
As a Tarheel, Grissom was named All-Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Tackle player in 1971 and received AP honorable mention recognition as defensive tackle. Grissom graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972.
"Dooley was big on being a student first and then an athlete," stated Grissom.
According to Grissom, "There was a way of thinking that included living both on and off the field. "
Grissom and his coaches called that term, "citizenship," Grissom stated.
"Being a good citizen in school and a good example in the community," is how Grissom defined this term.
"It was very important to coaches and to players in those days, and embraced all areas of life and faith."
Grissom said, "I credit success in life to what you leave behind and what they will think of you. You can be a great successful athlete, talent wise, but if you cannot embrace the 'citizenship' concept, that includes academics, sports, faith and your family, none of it will mean very much."
"I had very supportive parents and my father was a coach and principal."
Grissom is retired from the North Carolina Army National Guard and as public school teacher, coach, and principal.
"The coaches and teachers that I had in high school helped us tremendously and we had great teammates. Coach John Charles, was a World War II veteran and came from old school football," said Grissom.
"He (Charles) and Ronnie Hooper were interested in motivating me and others to achieve and so were the coaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill," said Grissom of their work in academics and on the field.
"I am humbled by the honor that is being given to me," said Grissom. "A lot of players and teachers have helped me achieve."
Grissom laughed about "citizenship" compared to what is sometimes called the prima-donna complex in sports. "It did not happen in his day, too much," he said. Under those coaches, one learned pretty quick that "you are not just one, but that you are also part of a team."
"I've tried my best to pass on to my children what sports and the term, citizenship has meant to me. As they grow older, I hope they will truly know what it has meant. Thoughts are formed and become your values. I try to relay that as a teacher and a coach."
He resides in Rutherfordton, where he lives with his wife, Janet. They have two sons, Kevin and Anson.

The Mazda SKY-G (Gasoline) engine is the automaker's concept name for its next-generation direct-injection gasoline engine.
According to Mazda, the 2.0-litre engine will provide a 15% improvement in fuel economy and 15% more torque than current gasoline engines. A global roll-out of the SKY-G will begin in 2011.
The SKY-D (Diesel) engine is Mazda's next-generation clean diesel, which promises a 20% improvement in fuel economy over the current 2.2L diesel. The SKY-D will be available in 2012.
Mazda also unveiled its new SKY-Drive six-speed automatic transmission, featuring a 5% improvement in fuel economy. The automaker says the new transmission will be quicker, lighter and more fun to drive.
Mazda claims SKY-Drive feels as direct and even faster than a dual-clutch transmission. It will be mated to the new SKY-G and SKY-D engines beginning in 2011.
