Tennessee has nine Congressional seats. For most of this the past century, seven of those seats were routinely occupied by Democrats, and two by Republicans. But the two east Tennessee Republicans have been joined by two others over the past few decades as TN-03 (Chattanooga) and TN-07 (Memphis suburbs to Nashville suburbs) switched to the R column.
Now it looks fairly certain that two more seats are about to be converted from Democrat to Republican. The demographics seem to indicate that the changes may well be semi-permanent. Bart Gordon is retiring from TN-06, and John Tanner is retiring from TN-08. Both incumbent Democrats were going to have a hard time getting re-elected had they stayed in the race.
Two other seats, currently held by Democrats Jim Cooper (TN-05) and Lincoln Davis (TN-04) are attracting a surprising amount of attention and activity. They could also be in play (more on them in a later post). Only TN-09 seems safely Democrat at this point, and it seems fairly certain that Steve Cohen will retain the seat – more on that later, as well.
Of all the races, TN-06 has attracted the most attention. There are six Republicans, three Democrats, and one independent who have filed for the race. First quarter financial reports have been filed with the FEC. Raising the most money doesn't guarantee that a candidate will win, but it's pretty strongly correlated. Here's what the money looks like in TN-06. The dollar amount is the total raised from individual contributions (not counting PAC money, or loans from the candidates to their own campaigns), 1/1/2010 thru 3/31/2010:
R | Jim Tracy | $533,647 |
R | Diane Black | $271,591 |
R | Lou Ann Zelenik | $129,767 |
R | Dale Evans | $34,970 |
R | Kerry Roberts | $33,944 |
R | Gary Mann | $3,200 |
D | George Erdel | $375 |
D | Brett Carter | $0 |
I | Tommy Hay | $0 |
D | Benjamin Leming | $0 |
I'd say this one is definitely an "R" pickup.
TN-08 will be more of a horse race. There are ten candidates here as well, eight Republicans and two Democrats. One of the Democrats, Roy Herron seems poised to make this a contest. Here are the fund-raising numbers (Individual contributions – not counting PAC money, or loans from the candidates to their own campaigns):
R | Steve Fincher | $970,095 |
D | Roy Herron | $822,866 |
R | Ron Kirkland | $607,357 |
R | George Flinn | $156,355 |
R | Donn Janes | $10,937 |
R | Randy Smith | $300 |
R | James Hart | $142 |
D | Luther Mercer | $0 |
R | David Rice | $0 |
R | Craig Steinfels | $0 |
I'd give the edge to Fincher in this one right now, but there is still a long time till November.
IF the Republicans manage to win both these seats, then the 112th Congressional map for Tennessee will look like this:
Stay tuned – in part two, I'll report and comment on the numbers from TN-04 and TN-05.

Pentesting is scary!
November 12, 2007, 09:59:26 PM »
I have been doing pentesting for a long time now and I still get this weird feeling in my gut every time I get asked to do it. This is just my personal rant and if you haven't been involved in testing the security of a company I am sure you don't understand. Its just a weird feeling that it all relies on you. They ask you to come in and test their security. Let them know if they are safe or not. I always feel such a weight on me. Am I going to really see every thing? Am I going to catch every hole? If I miss something and 2 weeks later it gets exploited, how do I look? Did me missing one little thing I should have seen just compromised a lot of important data? Did that compromise hurt peoples lives? Their personal information. So many noobs want to get into ethical hacking because they see it has a fun and legal way to hack. Yes, there is truth to that, but there is so much more to it than that. Its nothing like being a lone black hat hacker where you only answer to yourself. You have to work and answer to a lot of people. REAL people that you see and not faceless victims on the net. I guess the moral of this rant is you better make sure you really know what you are doing if you do a pentest! If you certify a network as safe you better make sure. You must have a passion to be the best! Look at every person in every field that was great? Bruce Lee was a total nut about practicing his art. His wife claimed he even practiced in his sleep! Franz Liszt, the greatest pianist of all time practiced his fingers when he was eating dinner or while riding in a stage coach. If you want to be good you must practice and have an obsession.
That doesn't mean read a lot of theory books! Practice, Practice, Practice! Eat, drink and sleep hacking if you want to be in the top 10 in the world. Dont settle for being average. Remember as an ethical hacker people are depending on your skill. If you say your network cant be breached, make damn sure its true!

Very good post. You never really think of it that way, but it's very true. I work for a church academy, and you always wonder if there is something that you are missing. I mainly worry about the kids and teachers messing it up, but I have to test the penetration too. I always wonder what new way someone can get into our system, both over the net and physically. Thank you for the post though.

When you pen test, do you use already-made programs, or your own?
I may be a newbie, but I am willing to learn.

I've been doing this a while now too and I think you're being a little melodramatic.
A pentest provides management with information about the condition of risks and internal controls at
a given point in time.
Future changes in environmental factors and actions by staff, etc... will impact these risks and internal controls in ways that the pentester cannot anticipate.
Pentests all have a scope. I strongly doubt that every pentest you've been involved in covers the company's entire infrastructure. A company of any reasonable size will define the scope of the pentest and as such their will be substantial limitations to your view into that environment. Are you only testing the internet facing hosts of the company or internal servers too? are DOS attacks fair game? what about user workstations, the users themselves? A pentest is an
to simulate an attack by a malicious outsider, employee, etc... Any attacker is going to have no such restrictions.
I have just completed a engagement and the internal assessment portion covered very, very specific hosts/servers. This was supposed to be a subset of devices/hosts representative of all their server environment. Turns out that the manager had told the sysadmins about the pentest and they went and patched/reconfigured those machines. Now if I had not been informed of this my report would have stated that based on my findings they were in good shape. Where does my responsibility lie if they get compromised through another server in that data center that they did not patch and the attacker gains access to one of the servers that I vetted and assessed? In that case we actually expanded the scope to include the entire server subnet. We founds LOTS of ingress points.
We, as pentesters, have limitations to what we can or cannot do in a pentest. Attackers don't.
I understand the need to provide a quality service that you can be proud of but how is the responsibility yours if two weeks later a system in their network gets compromised. Sure, if it's one you assessed and it was compromised through a known exploit that was out at the time then, yes, that's probably your responsibility and you should reevaluate your skillset.
The level of your responsibility is directly related to the scope of the engagement.
I understand the point you are trying to make in that we should take pride in our work and provide the best results possible every time but I think you should be a little clearer on just what that responsibility is, especially considering the number of requests this site sees from people starting out in this or other related fields.

I agree with what dean has posted.
In every job, there is a risk. And success is with one who is going to take that risk. A penetration test engineer might be having the greater risk as he is involved in identifying the weakness of his client's network. But I suggest to make his role on the safer side by mentioning discliamer's in final report and scopes. Also if you are confident in your assessment, then there is no need to worry. Keep on moving with the next assignment and get engaged for self improvement. This is a profession which requires real professionalism with utmost quality in content and clarity in the data's collected.
There is no situation like "Total Security" as every piece of code is vulnerable to bugs. After all it's a human design and it takes some time to see the vulnerabilities in wild. With the modern sophisticated and complex security produts, vulnerabilities and attack vectors would always be in it's zenith.
As Bruce Schneier said "Security is a process, not a product"!!! And human's are the weakest link to security. So wherever there is a human interaction with a security product, there is a possibility for exploitation. This is one thing all Penetration engineers should know.
"Total security" means when its totally cut off from the network :-)

LOL, as I stated in my post this was my personal rant. I was attempting blow off a little steam and didnt expect this post to be scrutinized line by line, but whatever, this is the internet and I should expect that. If my point went over anyones head I apologize and will attempt to be more clear in the future. What inspired my rant was having just completed an audit where the previous tester missed some very obvious openings. Really no excuse for that other than just being lazy or rushing through an assignment. Of course I understand elements can change beyond our control, but what I was trying to stress is when a pentester misses something he should have seen. Especially something obvious. All we can do is provide the best service and be complete. If we have done a good job and later the network is breached, well thats beyond our control. I guess I wasnt clear.
I was being intentionally melodramatic and hoping to stress a point and for that I make no apology. I think its important that every pentester should approach his work seriously and understand the repercussions if he is sloppy in his work. Its important that your client understands that you are aware of this and you are treating his network like your own. Yes we are busting boxes but those boxes can effect peoples lives. I have been involved in this work for years and my clients want and trust me because I do take it very seriously and perhaps a bit melodramatic in my understanding of my responsibility. My priority is not to approach a gig like a cold robot and protecting myself with disclaimers, which happens way to often in this line of work. My clients really appreciate my approach and its due to this that I have more work than I can handle. Thats why I dont always have the time to write lengthy detailed posts critical or otherwise.

So you post something to a public forum that's both a personal "rant" and an attempt to make a point and you did not expect it to be scrutinized??
You talk about stressing a point, yet you don't actually make one in your original post. As I said previously, there are a broad range of people on this site with a broad range of skills from newbie to expert (whatever that may be) and so if you intend to convey a message then perhaps you should be clear about what that message is.

Yet you have the time for a personal rant??
If you don't want to be criticized, don't post.

Like I said, sorry if my you missed the point of my post which is obvious you did, but I will try to make my posts more clear. That "rant" took less than 5 minutes to type out, so not much time spent. Now I feel I am starting to waste a little time with this thread, lol. Actually I don't mind criticism, its when I feel my point was not understood that bothers me. I thought I made it clear I was addressing the problem of a pentester missing something and not elements outside our control. Your post went on and on about elements outside our control and therefore we should not hold ourselves accountable. I agree completely with that and never stated anything contrary to that.
Also, discouraging anyone from posting here is not appreciated. We need more participation here not less.

Hey dont you guys stop now! This is starting to get to sweet! Nothing like a little forum war to spice up the holidays, even when both are arguing some very stupid small stuff. What makes it really hilarious is you are both actually saying the same thing and seem to agree on the topic but are arguing about it at the same time. Me thinks you you both have a little more time than you might like to admit. Kudos to both for giving me a laugh.
And pentesting is spooky not scary, Ha Ha!

Excellent post Kev.
I think you and Dean both have good points. Which I think is the best thing about a good forum you can get different viewpoints of topics.

Some historical information about healing in Japan:
Literary and historical texts from the eighth century onward record countless examples of priests being employed to pray or perform incantations for the recovery of those suffering from severe illnesses, particularly members of the imperial family or nobility. The Shoku Nihongi, for example, indicates that a total of one hundred and twenty-six "healing meditation masters" (Jp. kanbyō zenji 看病禅師) had been recruited in attempts to restore the retired Emperor Shōmu to health.4 The edict rewarding them for their efforts singles out several priests by name, including Rōben 良弁 (689–773) and Ganjin 鑑真 (688–763). Perhaps the most noteworthy kanbyō zenji was the meditation master Dōkyō 道鏡 (d. 772), who was purportedly able to gain the favor of the retired Empress Kōken (who later re-ascended as Empress Shōtoku) through his services as a kanbyō when she was ill. Later sources indicate that, at times, priests would be brought into the sickroom to chant sutras, recite spells or dhāraṇī 陀羅尼 (Jp. darani), or perform esoteric Buddhist rites involving drums, fire, or images of fearsome beings from the Buddhist pantheon.

Park Life
There's always something happening in a park near you. Whether there's improvements being made, activities being held or maybe our parks have received some recognition we can all be proud of. Bookmark this page to find out the latest news from Birmingham Parks.
New look for the Birmingham Nature Centre!
Recent renovations to the Birmingham Nature Centre shop and reception area were completed in June 2012 and the Museum building is now re-open to the public.
The new reception area is spacious and light and is equipped with large screens displaying the latest information about the Centre's latest animals and activities. It has beautiful new wooden benches, hand crafted by our Assistant Manager Colin Parker, for patrons to sit and relax.
The shop has a new, improved layout and is fully stocked with a variety of toys and gifts to suit all ages and tastes. All of this is complimented by the surrounding array of plants and two giraffes that stand proudly next to the 'Animal Sponsorship Tree', giving a real feeling of bringing the outside in.
To add to the new look, visitors are also greeted on arrival by newer members of the Reception team, Information Assistants Charlotte and Zoe, Ranger Support Officer Danielle and existing member of the team Neil.
The staff have commented "Customers are so surprised about the new look and we receive nothing but praise about how much the building has improved!!"
Comments from the staff are mirrored in feedback received by customers themselves:
"The new shop is great "
"The gift shop was one of the most enjoyable parts of our visit"
"The Nature Centre is clean and reinvigorated- losing it's dated image"
"The Visitor Centre is much improved"
"Enjoyed the new look of the Nature Centre"

Confirmation of presence of important species in Sutton Park NNR
On 24th July 2012, around dusk, a small group of Sutton Hub Rangers ventured out to try to get their first sightings of glow worms. An anecdotal report had been received in late 2011 and the timing and weather was right to go searching. As the evening sky darkened, the hunt was on. Figures in the long grass with hunched backs and staring eyes waited. Then the first glow was suddenly detected and everyone involved rushed to the scene. Then another was spotted and another, disbelief and relief flowed in equal measure, it was a spectacle to behold. In total that evening five females were spotted attempting to attract males. Unfortunately we saw no males that evening.
The records were passed on to the UK Glow worm survey who informed us that Sutton Park is a special place due to the lack of sightings locally. Further monitoring will take place and the site will be maintained to ensure there is no loss of this important species.

Portland Cello Project with Emily Wells – Live at The Ballroom at the Taft Saturday Might five
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) March 02, 2012
In the ultimate test of their quest to locate those universal moments of beauty that tie all musical genres together, the Portland Cello Project (or PCP) are releasing Homage on Could 1, 2012. Recognized for their dynamic reside shows and inspired arrangements of composers of all aesthetic persuasions, PCP will be taking to the road this spring and summer, such as a series of co-headline dates with Emily Wells.
Reserved tickets, $ ten ADV & $ 13 DOS (plus applicable fees), go on sale Friday March 9 at ten AM at http://www.ticketmaster.com, http://www.tafttheatre.org, the Taft Theatre Box Office and all Ticketmaster outlets including choose Kroger stores. Charge by telephone at 1.800.745.3000.
Recorded in studio spaces and sacred spaces all more than Portland, the album was mixed by Larry Crane (Sleater-Kinney, Elliott Smith, The Decemberists) at Jackpot! Studios and mastered by Jeff Lipton (Andrew Bird, Magnetic Fields, Bon Iver) at Peerless Mastering. Homage will also be obtainable on vinyl on April 21, 2012 for Record Shop Day, including a unique edition on colored vinyl. The LP will include a re-mastered version of their Kill Rock Stars digital single "All of the Lights."
From thundering cellos and drums transforming hip-hop songs, to whispered melodies by contemporary composers, to hip-hop themes turned into baroque-style puzzles, Homage blurs musical genres and styles. Covers contain "She Will" (L'il Wayne), "That is My Bitch" and "H.A. M." (Kanye West and Jay-Z) and a classical canon inspired by L'il Wayne's "Lollipop" that was arranged by PCP's founder/arranger Douglas Jenkins (originally for the Oregon Bach Festival). The "Lollipop Canon" and "Fugue on a Monstrous Theme" (inspired by Kanye's "Monster") were each recorded at the oldest church in Portland.
There's also a recorded version of the band's well-known reside rendition of Outkast's "Hey Ya," with producer Crane going for a Herb Alpert brass sound on the choruses. Says Jenkins, "We did a 6-week national tour once where we literally had each and every single city we played in sing along on the choruses, and then Adam Thompson from Thao with the Get Down Remain Down would judge each city using the Pitchfork scale based on how well they sang along. San Francisco won."
PCP's collaborations consist of their 2009 album with Thao and Justin Power (Kill Rock Stars), along with Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul and Mary), Dandy Warhols, to cellist Matt Haimovitz, Laura Gibson, Mirah, Eric Bachmann and other people. They've toured with artists as varied as Buckethead and Alexi Murdoch, staying accurate to their three -fold mission: Bridging Communities – to play locations you would not ordinarily see cellos performing Bridging Genres – to play music you would not ordinarily hear played on cellos Collaboration – to highlight the several ways in which collaboration is the cornerstone of independence and creativity.
Along with the classically trained members of PCP, Rachel Blumberg played drums (M Ward, Decemberists, Bright Eyes). The touring members all bring one thing specific to the band's sound: Anna Fritz is also a songwriter and folk musician Skip von Kuske is jazz-trained and does a lot of electronic cello looping Kevin Jackson writes some of the groups arrangements, such as the video game themes (Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros) and founder Douglas Jenkins, who engineers all the PCP recordings and has toured as a multi-instrumentalist Jenkins also has an MAT in teaching and does literacy function with struggling high school seniors in the Portland Public Schools. Additional members of note consist of Emma Wood, Justin Kagan, Collin Oldham, and Ashia Grzesik.
Emily Wells is an anomaly among musicians most of whom devote their careers striving for a key label deal. Before she was old enough to vote, a main label was courting Wells, two music-publishing businesses had been competing for the rights to her songs and she was recording with award winning producers. By the time she was legally buying her initial drink, however, Emily had chosen a different path. With true indie ethos, she moved from New York, leaving in her wake a lucrative deal from a major label, the renowned producers, recording studios, and a manager. Throughout that period of her life, Emily had been supplied almost everything that most musicians want. Every thing except what she, as an artist, needed most: creative manage.
Attaining the ever-elusive artist's dream of creative control, as Wells would soon discover, comes only at a cost. Wells' cost was the thousands of miles logged, traipsing across nation, playing in and outside of bars, pubs, and juke joints. She traveled in a tiny vehicle, dragging along guitars, a tiny bass, a giant old Linn 9000 drum machine, and a four track. When flush, Emily would spend the occasional night in a seedy motel area where she would tirelessly record with her archaic four-track and dirty old instruments. Ultimately landing in Los Angeles, Wells lastly learned by way of recording and performing, how to have the creative control she craved. Slowly building her personal studio, she taught herself how to record and produce. This is the studio in which she would develop, record, mix, and produce 'The Symphonies: Dreams Memories & Parties' her most up-to-date release.

Pat must play, Morné must rest
22 Oct 2012
JON CARDINELLI writes the Currie Cup semi-finals showed why Pat Lambie is ready for the Springbok flyhalf responsibility, and why the other contenders are not.
Lambie went into the 2012 Test season with plenty to prove. New Bok coach Heyneke Meyer wasn't convinced that he had what it took to hold down a starting position. The biggest concern was Lambie's tactical kicking accuracy and game management. Meyer felt that Bulls fullback Zane Kirchner held the edge in this department.
It was also around this time that Meyer made it clear that Morné Steyn was his preferred flyhalf. According to the Bok coach, the team would need Steyn's composure, as well his goal- and tactical-kicking precision if they hoped to win Tests consistently.
Over the course of the season, however, Steyn has failed to display the strengths that helped the Boks win the series against the British & Irish Lions as well as the Tri-Nations in 2009. Ironically, it's been his lack of accuracy that has cost the team matches in 2012.
Following the disappointing draw to England in Port Elizabeth, Meyer admitted that Steyn would need to find form in the subsequent Super Rugby games if the Boks were to improve. They turned out to be prophetic words, as Steyn continued to struggle over the next few months, and this had a negative impact on both the Bulls and the Boks.
When Steyn was eventually axed, Meyer explained that the flyhalf had played virtually non-stop for three years, and so he required a mental break. But only a few weeks later, Steyn was asked to lift the Bulls out of the Currie Cup relegation zone and into the play-offs.
It was a task that Steyn responded to at first. He proved instrumental in the Bulls' crucial win over the Lions, a result that propelled the Pretorians into a semi-final against the Sharks. However, it was in this latter game where his shortcomings, both physical and mental, were again exposed.
There are many who feel that Steyn will add value on the Boks' end-of-year tour to Europe. I have to disagree.
It's a difficult tour where conditions prescribe a tighter and more tactical approach. Steyn's supporters will say that he fits the bill, but my argument is that Steyn is suited to this role only in theory.
If you look at where Steyn is mentally, and how he has consistently struggled to regain his once prolific kicking accuracy, how can you even consider taking him to Europe and asking him to win three Tests in a row?
Steyn was not solely to blame for Saturday's loss to the Sharks, but it was because of his poor kicking and game management that the Bulls battled to get out of their own half.
He's never been known as a dirty or ill-disciplined player, and yet, he finished this game with a swinging arm that connected the face of Sharks fullback Louis Ludik.
The Bulls were about to lose, to exit the Currie Cup, and Steyn reacted badly. It's not too much of a stretch to judge this action as a response to his seemingly endless struggles of 2012. It's very clear that he needs a mental break from rugby.
Lambie made a massive statement with his excellent goal-kicking performance at Kings Park, as well as a fine display of game management that played a big role in the Sharks' overwhelming territorial advantage.
Looking at the performances of both flyhalves in Durban, you'd have to say that things couldn't have gone better for Lambie in a Bok context. Lambie rose above the pressure, while Steyn succumbed to it. On the basis of that game, it's clear which player you'd back to win the Boks' Tests in Europe.
The flyhalf position has been a talking point ever since Johan Goosen went down with a season-ending injury at Soccer City. Goosen is the future at No 10, but it is Lambie who can provide the Boks with another strong option. And in the modern game where the schedule is relentless and serious injuries are a reality, you need two strong options.
The other semi-final in Johannesburg also highlighted why Lambie is the best available choice. Elton Jantjies may have already played for the Boks this season, but I'm not convinced that he has the temperament, nor the skill set at this stage of his career, to handle the ultimate responsibility.
Jantjies missed three early kicks at goal, and these misses were massive in the context of a rain-affected game. Indeed, if you compare Jantjies' misses in Johannesburg with Lambie's early penalties in Durban, you could say that Jantjies blew a similar chance to establish early momentum, to build a commanding lead and set up a convincing win.
The sight of Jantjies being flattened by the diminutive Gio Aplon will not inspire confidence. His lack of physicality has long been considered a shortcoming, as has his defence which was exposed in that Test against the All Blacks at Soccer City.
He's a confidence player, and only takes the ball to the gain line when he receives it on the front foot. When his forwards aren't enjoying that sort of momentum, he slides back into the pocket.
The obvious response to this statement is: which flyhalf doesn't?
Of all the players who have played flyhalf in recent seasons, Lambie has stood out as a player who continues to take the initiative despite the failure of his forwards. The game I'm referring to is the 2011 Test against the All Blacks in New Zealand where he played one of his better games in a Bok jersey. He responds well to that sort of pressure.
Goosen is injured. Jantjies's is a talent that has yet to be fully developed and refined. Steyn has lost confidence and form and can't be expected to win games for South Africa in his current guise.
And then we have Lambie, who has led the Sharks to back-to-back wins with superb all-round displays. Lambie, who in all likelihood will lead the Sharks to another Currie Cup title in Durban this Saturday. Lambie, a match-winner.
Really, it's not a difficult call to make.

22 Oct 2012, 18:06 pm@Puma-445: Scotland is one of my favourites too, Puma.
Lovely place.
22 Oct 2012, 19:19 pmas a sharks supporter even im disappointed as to how soon everyone wants to dump jantjies as the bok number one FH
how much time did he have to prove himself, 5min against AUS and a half against the best team in the world when his own team seem to be all over the place having been scared shitless at the thought of being 7 points down with 30min to go
i blame JDV for SA's poor second half against the AB's, he should have calmed his charges down when they were clearly all trying to win the game on their own instead of continue to play as a team, like they did in the first half
Morne gets to underperform for a half a dozen games before meyer sees the light
but elton should be drop due to one bad half when he didnt even start, an a under par performance in a currie cup semi when he played decently in all aspect except goal kicking
it seems some players get away with way more than others
i defended meyers selection of steyn as first choose FH at the start of the season as i thought that it would be logical for him to first instal winning momentum into the team as a whole before grooming in a all round FH
the cadidates to take over should have been Lambie or Jantjies
the idea that goosen could start a test this season worried me. i know everyone and their gran loves this kid, and i to think he has great potential. but he looked frail compared to other FH in super rugby
i was all for having him in the greater bok squad so he could get use to his team mates and understand the inviroment. but i thought our coaching staff had the gray matter between their heads to know that the best thing for goosen was to copy what NZ did with Carter, ie: bring him on in the last 5-10
remember how thin dan carter use to look, also when looking at the stats of our probible FHs lambie, elton, morne, grant, goosen.
goosen was listed as the tallest… but also the lightest (thus the thin'st)
you cant start that kid at test level just yet
AB's must be laughing there ***'s off watching us mess with another promising talent
people called goose's shoulder injury in SR a freak accident lol. he hurt it smackin against the ground as he was tackled
oh and whats this about elton not being physical enough. you seem to forget siya kolisi's season ending injury in the currie cup semi last year. and how did he get hurt, oh by attempting a tackle on jantjies, which elton just shrugged off
Jon, aplon caught elton really well yes and it was a good hit, but he was standing on one leg dude (let me spell it out for you: Jantjies and lambie can take a hit and survive. goosen cant right now)
carter had to sit behind spencer and merthens but he was always informed of the greater plan less he get dispondent
so in closing
goosens made of glass at the moment, give the kid a chance to grow
and lets not be so quick to show jantjies the door
and this is written by a life long sharks supporter, who has been championing lambie as our bok FH since the currie cup final of 2010
but even i feel he should not jump jantjies in the pecking order.
22 Oct 2012, 21:50 pm@numba4lock-452: Careful, you are in danger of losing your Sharks Supporters subscription for uttering such heresy….
22 Oct 2012, 22:40 pmlol call a spade a spade
case in point: Wp have two really good young props at the moment in Frans malherbe and steven kitshof
and i can say that dispite not being a stormers supporterim not like my friends who seem to suffer from provincilsm everytime the boks play
just waiting for a rival unions player to make a mistake so they can **** on him
we tend to forget that humans play sport not robots
lambie is turning on the class right now, but jantjies has hardly been given a chance since being installed as number two behind Mr Glass
22 Oct 2012, 23:23 pmMorne does not need to be rested, he needs to be discarded in total – he is useless, always has been. A talentless rugby player with a good boot
23 Oct 2012, 00:14 am@willievz-447: after that big emotional outpouring by puma you confirm that lambie did miss a sitter against ireland abd it was NOT "in gale force winds" in f.cuking scotland.
Puma get over your lambie obsession old dog…it is unhealthy boet hahahahaha
you go off on me about scottish conditions & it turns out i was right…go figure!
23 Oct 2012, 07:24 am@pompies2-375:
ok, thanks for that. -
23 Oct 2012, 09:02 am@Saffex-455: Oh my. I thought you were a Bulls supporter
23 Oct 2012, 09:28 amThey should move the final to Moses Mahbhida if it is going to rain again. Kings Park is a joke of a pitch when it rains. Its actually appaling that they havent fixed the drainage since the debacle in 1995 World Cup.
23 Oct 2012, 09:31 amits not about dropping jantjes but realising lambie should have been ahead of him in the pecking order all along.
jantjes to warm the bed and lambie to start 2. jantjes can start a 3rd with lambie on bench. treat this tour as building towards next year. heyneke has blooded so many youngsters this year, cut him slack with the results if he chooses this tour to continue with the new faces and rest the old guard.
23 Oct 2012, 09:32 am@Sasuke-459:
WTF are you taliking about?!
The only reason why that game took place is because the drainage is so good at KP.Durban has had over half their average rainfall in the last 2 months.
With that amount of rain and contued rain on the day of each and every game, Moses would fare no better. It would still be a mud bath. -
23 Oct 2012, 10:37 am@Puma-444:
Not if the original player returning was meant to be the incumbent anyway as in the case of Kirchner. Aplon was not even in the squad and then was pulled in for the last England Test with injuries to Kirchner,Lambie,Taute.
So its hardly the same context

Nunnally named Indians hitting coach
The Cleveland Indians & Manager MANNY ACTA today named JON NUNNALLY Major League Hitting Coach to complete the 2010 Major League Coaching Staff.
Nunnally, 38, has been a Hitting Coach in the Indians Player Development system the last three (3) seasons since retiring as a player after the 2006 season. Jon was the Hitting Coach for the Kinston Indians in 2007 and 2008 and most recently for the AAA Columbus Clippers this past season. Under his tutelage in 2009 the Columbus Clippers led the International League in batting average (.275) as the Clippers placed a pair of players (OF Jordan Brown, INF Andy Marte) on the Triple-A All-Star team. In his first season with Kinston in 2007, the K-Tribe led the Carolina League in batting average and runs scored and in 2008 Beau Mills earned the Carolina League MVP award under his watch.
The Ringgold, VA native played professionally for 15 seasons from 1992-2006 with seven different organizations. Jon spent parts of 6 seasons at the Major League level with Kansas City ('95-'97), Cincinnati ('97-'98), Boston ('99) and New York-AL ('00), compiling a career average of .246 (218-885) at the big league level with 47 2B, 12 3B, 42HR & 125 RBI in 364 games. After being selected in the 3rd round of the 1992 draft by the Tribe, he spent the following three seasons in the Indians organization to begin his pro career before the KC Royals selected him in the Rule V draft after the 1994 season. His finest season in the Majors was in 1997 when he hit 13HR in just 65 games with the Cincinnati Reds.

Six candidates in the running to become Troy mayor
The City of Troy officially has six candidates that have filed petitions for mayor position — including current appointed Interim Mayor Dane Slater.
The candidates are David Elsas, Jon Desjardins, Faris Alami, Marty Knollenberg, Scott Welborn and Slater.
Candidates have until Friday at 4 p.m. to withdraw their applications, otherwise they will appear on the May 7 special election ballot.
The candidates needed to either collect 400 valid signatures, or pay a $100 filing fee for their names to appear on the ballot. Slater was the only candidate of the six to not pay the fee.
Former Troy Mayor Janice Daniels was recalled in the November 2012 election. Dane Slater was elected by the Troy City Council to fill her seat.
The new elected mayor will serve a term expiring November 2015.
Last December, Oakland County 6th Circuit Court Judge Denise Langford Morris ruled that the city must hold a special election in May after a lawsuit was filed by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and Attorney General Bill Schuette.

6. | Bloint | ||
A bloint is a hybrid between a Blunt and a joint. The crossjoint design is used with a madfattybluntsworth and a joint instead of two joints. A hole is first made through the blunt and then another hole is made through the joint. The joint is then inserted into the blunt in order to create the cross. Only the highest level of smokers have experienced the greatness that is the Bloint It was another weekend chillin with the DOP, there was madfattybluntsworth all around. The idea was proposed and it was done. History forever remembered the day the Bloint was born into the lives of all of them.
1. | bloint | ||
A bloint is a small blunt, sometimes there is enough weed for a joint,sometimes there is not, but you roll it up in a philly anyway. Roll up that bloint! Man thats only enough for a bloint.
2. | bloint | ||
A joint or cone rolled with a Flavoured Blunt Paper preferably the brand "Jamaican Papers" bought at most tobacco stores. It is not a blunt, but thicker than an ordinary joint paper. Do not mistake with junt. Yo lets roll another bloint for the concert. They last so much longer then an ordinary joint.
3. | bloint | ||
Attaching two normal rolling papers together length-wise to make something smaller than a blunt, but larger than a joint. Very good if a blunt is desired, but only rolling papers are availible. Oh $hit dude; I smoked a whole bloint to my face, now I am so retarded.
4. | bloint | ||
combination of a blunt and a joint. when you roll weed into dutch or philly but only use a small length of the rolling material. Person1: "Yo, this dutch broke!"
Person2: "Just roll a bloint." |
5. | Bloint | ||
(n.) A blunt sized joint. usually refered to in fatness not length Since we only got a gram lets roll a Bloint instead of rolling a few joints
7. | Bloint | ||
Rolling an average sized joint, and taking the leaf from a dutch, and wrapping it around the joint. Hey man, wanna smoke a bloint? All you gotta do is wrap the leaf around that joint!

Peace & Joy
Starting with a white strip, I took an image from WPlus9 Poinsettia Patterns, stamped it and a matching smaller one repeatedly and adhered the strip to a white card base. I heat embossed one of the sentiments in gold and added gold-ish rhinestones to the centers to match the gold in the background.
Here is a look at the inspirational pic:
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!

What is the prostate gland?The prostate is a small organ located at the base of the bladder and wrapped around the urethra, the tube that empties the bladder through the penis. It sits in front of the rectum, and the back portion of the organ can be felt during rectal examination by a health care practitioner. The prostate's purpose is to help with the male reproductive system. It makes up to 70% of the fluid that is ejaculated during intercourse, mixing its secretions with the sperm that are made in the testicles. The prostate also contracts at the time of ejaculation to prevent retrograde (or backward) flow of semen into the bladder. Because of its location, the symptoms of any prostate problem tend to be associated with the bladder and can include urgency to urinate, frequency of urination, burning with urination (dysuria), poor urine flow, or inability to begin a urine stream.
