When you think about Michael Jordan, you probably see 23, a Bulls logo, and whatever miracle shot that's solidified in your head as the quintessential Jordan highlight moment.
You don't think about failure.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -- Michael Jordan
We hardly remember the 9,000 shots he missed, the 300 games lost, the 26 times that the ball was in his hands to win the game and it just wouldn't go in, right? We think about success with Jordan. We think about determination. We think about the Greatest Of All Time.
So I think it's interesting that when we look in the mirror, we are far less kind to ourselves than we are to the Legends of our times. We revere them and overlook their mistakes, while we spin ourselves into a ball of self-criticism and fear of failure. And we let ourselves get away with it.
Everyone fears failure, humiliation, embarrassment, and disappointment. It's part of being human. But 100% of the time, Fear only exists in your imagination.
And I think that's important so I will say it again: Fear only exists in your imagination. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
We see the ball rolling off and out of the rim, so we don't take the shot when we have the chance. We envision the pass slipping through our hands, so we don't make ourselves open. Our imagination of the failure is what stops us from going forward, from trying, and eventually from doing anything.
What if – just for a moment – you envisioned succeeding? What if you envisioned that you are powerful beyond measure? What if you decided that your playing small does not serve the world?
Mistakes, loss, failure – they are part of the process of LEARNING. They are not wrong nor do they make you wrong, bad or inadequate. Thomas Edison, when asked about his failures in creating the light bulb, said "I did not fail 99 times. I successfully found 99 ways not to make a light bulb."
What's your light bulb?
Just as you can envision all the things that can go wrong in any given situation, you can also envision everything that can go right. Just like you play a song over and over again to learn the lyrics, you can play a vision over and over again in your mind to learn it - what's the vision that's playing? Are you only playing things over and over again that you don't want to have happen? Or are you putting your fears in their place and focusing on what your life will be like when you succeed.
Never let fear hold you back again.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

What sets our sex and sexuality apart from every other animal on the planet is the involvement of our mind and every aspect of our person, not just our bodies. This means that our sexual activity is much more complex because it exists on many levels - our physical being, our personality, our intellect, our wants and desires, our creativity, and our memories and dreams. Our capacity for satisfaction, then, also exists on all of these levels, which involves our minds even more than our bodies. The involvement of our mind and positive mental stimulation leads to a healthy, vibrant, and active sex life with greater stimulation and satisfaction that can endure over time.
Although we are biologically programmed for sex, our mind plays a huge role in directing our sexual activity. The type of partner we look for, the type of activity that excites us, and how comfortable we feel around our sexual activity all have to do with our mind. Even our ability to get sexually aroused is, for the most part, controlled by our mind, because we respond positively to those activities, scenarios, and interactions that we already define as 'exciting' or 'sexy', while we turn off to things we find distasteful, rude, or ridiculous. Knowing ourselves and how our mind works to enhance our sex life can be very useful in creating a sex life that is fun, stimulating, exciting, and continuously interesting.
The mental part of sex happens long before there is any physical contact. As we are going through our day, any thoughts we have about sex or sensuality contribute to our mental stimulation for sex. We may start to plan how we would like our next sexual encounter to be like, or think about the exciting aspects of our last sexual encounter. By doing this, we are priming our brains to have pleasure with our partner by enhancing the positive aspects in the way we think about our sex life and our sexual activity with them. We may think of different scenarios that we have had, or those that we would like to try, which increases our interest, motivation, and and level of excitement.
Actually, studies have shown that oftentimes the anticipation of something can be just as pleasurable or more that an activity itself. The way this works is because our mind gets a great deal of enjoyment from imaging the ideal situation - the most desirable touch, the most exciting surroundings, the most stimulating interactions. Knowing how to make the most of this mental stimulation helps heighten this pleasure for ourselves, contributing to a more exciting sex life with our partners. As we explore the mental stimulation aspect of our sexuality, we also learn about our own sexuality and its depth and complexity.
Of course, mental stimulation plays a huge role
in the actually moment of sexual contact.
How we think about sex and what we choose to focus on can be the
difference between experiencing anxiety, detachment, and disappointment, or
experiencing delight, intense excitement, and intense pleasure. Something as simple as focusing our
attention on what physically feels good at the moment, or how our partner is
responding or aroused heightens our own arousal and brings us closer to ecstasy. On the other hand, if we can only focus
on getting to orgasm, or are more outside of ourselves with worries and doubts,
it cuts into our the flow of sexual arousal and distracts us from our sexual
activity. It is the difference
between using our minds to get lost in the moment, and using our mind to take
us away from the full experience of sex.

Three players from the league's top defense and two offensive players highlight the Daktronics first-team all-region selections in Super Region 3 for the Northwest Missouri State football team announced Thursday by the organization.
Seniors Nate DeJong and Collin DeBuysere along with junior Brandon Dixon were tabbed first-team defense all-region. On the offensive side of the ball, seniors Todd Adolf and Rod Williams earned first-team all-region accolades.
DeJong, DeBuysere and Dixon combined for 15 interceptions on the year as Northwest led NCAA Division II with 28. DeJong led the team with seven picks while DeBuysere was the second leading tackler with 74 and added a team high nine tackles for a loss.
Dixon grabbed five interceptions and finished with 10 passes defended as Northwest held opponents to 13 points per game, the third lowest total in NCAA II.
Williams earned his second all-region honor on the offensive line as Adolf was named first-team kicker.
Adolf was outstanding going 13-of-16 on field goal attempts while connecting on a perfect 70-of-70 extra points for the year. Williams helped the Bearcat offense average 41 points per game, eighth best in NCAA II, and average 432 yards of total offense per game.
A pair of Bearcats also earned second-team honors as senior Jordan Simmons was tabbed return specialist on offense and Kyle Goodburn earned defensive honors as second-team punter.
Simmons finished his career moving onto the Northwest all-time list for scoring, rushing yards, receiving yards, kickoff returns and punt returns.
Goodburn led the MIAA in punt average and was fourth in NCAA Division II averaging 44.2 yards per punt.
Northwest advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs for the ninth straight season, the longest current streak in Division II.
The Bearcats finished the season 10-3 falling in the second round of the playoffs to No. 1 seed Minnesota State Mankato.
First team all-region honorees are now eligible for Daktronics, Inc. Division II Football All-American selection.
The announcement of those All-American teams is expected on December 11th, preceding the NCAA Division II Football Championship, which takes place Dec. 15 in Florence, Ala.

"Déjà Vu All Over Again." This is the best way I can sum up what is percolating on the beautiful country of Malawi. Remember Africa of 1980s and 90s, when International Monetary Fund (IMF) inundated many cash strapped countries with austerity measures before granting credit lines to them; this is exactly what Malawi is experiencing at the moment.
For those who do not know anything about Malawi. It is a landlocked country in southeast of Africa, with a total population of 16,323,044 and a GDP less than $6 Billion. It is among the poorest country in the world. Malawi sources of foreign exchange are tea and tobacco, with supplementary economic aid coming from donors notably World Bank, African Union, IMF and others.
The president of Malawi, Joyce Banda is a powerful and resourceful politician, whose commitment for improving the lives of her people is unquestionable. She was sworn as the first woman president in her country and Southern African region when President Bingu Wa Mutharika passed away.
President Banda was recently invited to the White House by President Barrack Obama and she was showcased as one of the progressive leaders in Africa. In the company of three other African leaders from Senegal, Cape Verde and Sierra Leone they partake in the political economy dialogue at United States Institute of Peace. President Banda was articulate and very knowledgeable on the economic globalization and she pulled all the strings she can to impress United States investors.
President Banda has limited options to juggle with in order to improve the economy of her country. The country has no adequate source of foreign exchange and there is nothing much President Obama can do for her country unless to dole out a miniature foreign aid which will not make any difference to her country. Malawi is on her own and IMF is not going to make life easy for her country. Although that signing up to IMF austerity measures has opened up to trickling of liquidity, but the price Malawi paying is may be too high.
Trade Liberalization and Tough Austerity Measures
Trade liberalization at its extreme may backfire in Malawi, the sudden removal of all trade barriers may encourage the dumping of cheap foreign commodities in the country. Without the protection of emerging industries from outside competitors, there may be stunting in the springing and germination of industrial growth in Malawi. The ramification will be registered in the increase of unemployment and inflation. Speaking of spike in the inflationary trends, Malawi has experienced a massive increased in the rate of inflation since the inception of structural adjustment of the economy.
What IMF could not accomplish in Europe has become quite so easy for her to accomplish in Africa. While IMF is struggling to convince Eurozone financial troubled spots to cut down on spending; Malawi, a meager African country has already embarked on one of the toughest austerity measures you can ever think of.
IMF compelled Malawi to devalue her currency Kwacha substantially, and as of today Kwacha (Malawi currency) has been devalued by almost 50 percent. With the devaluation, Malawi Kwacha now floats and was recently reported to be trading for MK400 to $1 US Dollar. Before the floating and being subjected to market forces of demand and supply, kwacha was pegged at MK167 to $1 US Dollar as of first quarter of previous year.
The idea for devaluation is to make Malawi products cheaper for foreign buyers. But the danger for Malawi with her currency devaluation is her limited products to export. Malawi does not have arrays of finished products to export and now with devaluation of Kwacha her agricultural products mainly tea and tobacco will bring in lower returns.
The Malawi was also asked to rein-in spending by removing subsidies given to the poor masses and to privatize public own entities. Malawi external debt stood at $1.214 billion as of 31 December 2012 and servicing of the debt continues despite structural adjustment and reduction in spending.
The bite of the bitter prescriptions by IMF has begun to be felt by the poor masses of Malawi who are mostly subsistence farmers that dwell in rural areas. The inflation rate stood at 36.4 percent and this is a huge number that it brings Kwacha to its knees, even to a point of insolvency because its value as medium of exchange has been drastically diminished by devaluation and inflation. There be increase in unemployment and prices of essential commodities will soar. All these are already happening.
These conditions are too way harsh for Malawians, this is not to say that Malawi does not need any restructuring of her economy but IMF austerity measures may turn out to do more harm than good. The conditionalities for granting of credit lines and attraction of donors may be self defeating due to enormous toil been foisted on the people of Malawi.
The shock therapy by IMF may threaten the economic and political stability of Malawi that President Banda pledged to stabilize. And it must be noted that sound macroeconomic fundamental may not be unsustainable when the desperate poor masses are left in the cold.
Political stability may unravel when the people become unhappy with the political leaders due to drastic depreciation in the standard of living and undesired scenario may bring about the rise of civil disobedient. And together with sharp rise of criminality may overwhelm the system. And this is not the intended objective that IMF and Malawi policy makers intended in the first place.
Malawi needs some form of reforms but shock therapy without adequate palliative measures to cushion its effect, is not the best way to maintain and achieve sound macroeconomic stability.
As vice-president, the mother of three assumed the top job in the landlocked and impoverished country on Saturday under the terms of the constitution. The 61-year-old cuts a maternal figure that presents a stark contrast to her professorial predecessor, who styled himself the "Economist in Chief".
A winner of national and international awards for her work as a supporter of women's rights, Banda was last year named by Forbes Magazine as Africa's third most powerful female politician after Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Nigerian Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
She will hope her influence stands her in good stead as she looks to rebuild ties with Malawi's main foreign donors - including former colonial power Britain and the United States - who had squabbled with and been alienated by Mutharika.
Until now the policeman's daughter has spent a lot of her time and energy campaigning on behalf poor rural African women, trying to persuade them they should not simply accept the existence they have inherited.
She has said her ambition is to set women on the world's least developed continent free from the cycle of poverty and abuse that has haunted them for centuries.In an interview late last year, she cited the case of a childhood friend in her ancestral village as one reason she has kept on campaigning.
She said her friend, much brighter than herself, was forced to leave high school after just one term because her family couldn't afford the $12 needed for the school fees.
"I went on to go to college and I became the vice president of Malawi. She is still where she was 30 years ago," Banda said in the interview with the Global Post.
"The vicious cycle of poverty kept her there and took away her options. I made up my mind at that point, whatever would happen in my life, I would try to send girls to schools."
This personal pledge was behind Banda's decision to complete a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbus University in the United States.
Setting up a garment manufacturing business and later a bakery, she said she used the proceeds to send underprivileged girls to school.
She also founded three major organisations in Malawi: the National Association of Business Women, the Young Women's Leaders Network, and the Joyce Banda Foundation.
"We know that early marriage, early pregnancy, and early death of young women in childbirth are connected to how long they stay in school," she says. The campaigning for women's rights did not stop when she joined the government in 2004. As Minister of Gender, Child Welfare and Community Services she fought to get a domestic violence bill enacted.
She became Minister of Foreign Affairs in 2006 and the country's first female vice president in 2009. A year later Banda was kicked out of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as Mutharika pushed to groom his brother Peter, Malawi's foreign minister, as his replacement.
Creating her own People's Party, Banda maintained her state position as vice president. She is married to Richard Banda, a former chief justice of Malawi and Swaziland.
Banda's presidency seems set to usher in a fresh opportunity for Malawi, and many will be hoping that under her leadership the small southern African state can reclaim its tourist brochure reputation as "The Warm Heart of Africa".
Raising Malawi- was initiated by Madonna with a partner that is dedicated in contributing to the well being of less privileged women and children of Malawi. Madonna who was known as a material girl was projected as being mundane by the media. But with this African venture she has defined herself and show to the whole world what is important to her. Family, children and philanthropy are the core and at center of Madonna's life.
She is now building a modern Academy school for girls in Malawi while caring for AIDS orphans. According to her the Academy school can become a model for girl schools in Africa. Madonna's love for Malawi started when she adopted a boy from Malawi, since then she has adopted a girl from the country. Madonna was known for being compassionate but this strategic move on her part was unexpected. Thinking in the line of uplifting the poor by laying a strong foundation for scholarship and education is a strategic move. By providing education to the less privileged girls of Malawi she had opened a door of opportunity and empowerment that cannot be taken away from them.
No type of philanthropic effort that can be undermined nor underrated but some are more durable and everlasting than others. When you feed a hungry person, it is a noble gesture. But when you give a poor person a skill, you have changed the life. When the poor can feed herself especially in developing world the significance is enormous. Instead of the continuous lecture about caring for the poor, Madonna is doing something about it. African leaders will receive thousand of recommendations on how to eradicate poverty but a Madonna is taking the step to change the lives of young girls. By empowering these young girls the entire village has been empowered. Education is the greatest tool to eradicate poverty for it will enable the recipient to think wisely and venture into the world without ignorance and illiteracy.
The greatest strike against young girls of Africa is lack of opportunity, in some instances they are compelled to start working at every tender age. As a result of poverty and lack of opportunity, girls and boys could not even attend primary school in some parts of Africa. When young minds are condemned to life of ignorance, they dwell in darkness and abject poverty.
Madonna deserves a lot of credit for helping the poor of Malawi and it shows the content of her character. Madonna, one of the greatest musicians of our time and Hollywood actress do not have to put her money, time and prestige to help a nation that is very far away. But she has compassion and love on the suffering children and blighted youths. Instead of calling meetings and conferences she set a project in motion to solve the problem the best way she can. She put her money where her compassion was and by so doing pushed our collective humanity to a brighter corner.
Poverty and lack of opportunity have destroyed lives of children in Malawi and Africa. Madonna project in Malawi involved helping thousands of children that were orphaned by AIDS. These children need somebody to help and guide them. Nobody is saying that Madonna is an angel but she done something that only a person with the fear of God will do.
Education and healthcare will bring a great beginning for the children of Malawi and Africa. Madonna has become part of the solution and this is a victory for the children of the world.

Sorry, this story is unavailable
What do you think of this then, chaps? Perhaps SBW only publicised his donation to raise awareness of the plight of Christchurch... I have no idea what his motivation was, but maybe he thought that I can use my position as a well-known sportsman for good and raise the profile of the tragedy and, therefore, help raise even more than my personal donation. Much like sports- and other well-known people becoming Charity Patrons (Sir Ian "Beefy" Botham is a Patron of Help for Heroes, for example)...
Posted 17:54 16th July 2012
This is all a little bit silly Kitch. I respect other peoples opinions, although i may not agree...but i don't call people names, thats all i'm saying.
No I am not or was not an AB so yes ultimately my opinion is shallow. a test and a cap is the same thing thats why their called test caps
And of course its about money, it always is but it cant be true that SBW is only following the money or maxing his earning potential or he'd still be in France. I'm saying he's making the most of his talent by earning and also seeing the world at the same time. Hard to diss a man for that.
You are insinuating that I think SBW is a great rugby player, I think he is pretty good and worthy of being an AB and would be my starting 12 if there was a test today but he wasn't the best for the WC and rightly wasn't picked to start. So you lost that bet. He also wont appear on a Tui billboard.
Stick to the topic pal, this is about SBW leaving the game with the forum for discussing that, not name calling.
And yes i'd love to meet KiwiinGermany, im there very often they have great beer and its always nice to meet a Kiwi abroad. He's probably not showing any class just simply hasn't read that post, only you and I are probably returning to this page now.
Posted 07:17 16th July 2012
kitch, no need for insults.
There are loads of 1, 2, 3 test All Blacks who get the jersey and then choose to leave. Similarly, there have been loads of guys who have been picked before they have proved themselves.. this is called a bolter, and Sonny was not a bolter and he certainly didn't leave after a couple tests.
That's not a humble back down on Richie and the boys, that's explaining what I wrote in a simple way so you'd understand it. And I back that up, I haven't seen Richie and boys donating 100K, that's not to say they haven't contributed.. but $100K, please show me where?
I realise your grasp of the English language is minimal so I will try and explain myself more clearly in future..
"yes 17 tests but should be caps bc he hasnt played 17",
What does that mean errr?
Anyway, Sonny didn't play the final because Nonu was the better option, I cannot see anywhere on this thread where anyone has said any different. He still gets the winners medal though, no different to our man Dan Carter who didn't play from the pool games on.
The debate here is not how awesome he is, it's about the fact that other people have issue with him choosing to do with his life as he chooses.
And back to LOOK AT ME... so are you saying that anyone who makes a public donation is showing a lack of humility and grace? I think quite the opposite.
Some people are actually genuine despite what you choose to believe. Like I questioned earlier and I now pass to you.. can you name anyone who has met or knows the guy who has a bad experience with him?
Even Thorburn says very nice things about him .
Posted 02:04 16th July 2012
same thing eusk!..hes dissing your opinion....youre dissing his!.. me thinks kiwiingermany could be on to something after showing your class for you being happy to meet him face to face... over an internet forum!!??
you said it yourself.. "this is professionalism..they are in it for the money"..and his management team have "opened his eyes to his real value and potential and now hes using it to his advantage"... and you said that if he stayed with the dogs he would lose out on his" best earning years" and "earn better money" elsewhere!!.. so seems clear youre saying it is basically about earnings!
yes 17 tests but should be caps bc he hasnt played 17.. did you see him play in the most important game the ABs have played in recent years? ..no and why do you think that was?.. you probably wont answer that i bet!
if "non AB opinions..are shallow".. does that include you!
by the way did you manage to see how AWESOME he was against the canes! ..next tui billboard!!
Posted 08:26 15th July 2012
Kitch, I didn't call anyone stupid now did I? There's a big difference between calling someone stupid and me telling people to get a reality check. Simplistic statements from posters about Sonny Bill being only interested in the money need to develop more evidence as to his motivation when the facts show that money motivation is untrue. How would you explain SBW leaving a $2m/annual contract with Toulon to come to NZ and earn a quarter of that? That cant be about the money then can it? SBW stated when he announced his move to NZ that to play for the All Blacks was a dream of his and thats why he came to NZ, to try and make the team, he did and therefore achieved his goal. Perhaps being a 'great' All Black was not his goal. But he's played 17 tests was MOM in two (Scotland and Ireland) won a WC so he's achieved more than most. Greatness is subjective anyway, a label applied by others. IMO earning a solitary cap would solidify my position as an All Black for the rest of my life, would I be less of an All Black than others? No, only in a non All Blacks eyes and in the end their opinions would be valid but ultimately shallow as they have not ever been All Blacks.
I know two All Blacks in the current squad personally, one is/was contemplating going overseas but in the end stayed to have another crack at playing test matches. His motivation is to prove to himself (no one else) that he is worthy of playing test match rugby, his motivation is internal and perhaps selfish, but most of these pro sportspeople are just that...selfish. They strive to be the best they can be and when they are satisfied that they achieve that, they focus on other goals.
This is professionalism, its their job and like most working folk they are in it for the money. Sure there are regular (non profesional athletes) people who dont work just for the money but they are few and very far between.

euskadi whats the difference between kiwiingermany disagreeing with you for " airing youre opinion".. and you saying.. "people going on about him being about the money need a reality check!!" when all they doing is airing their opinion!!

Brad and Jerome have since gone overseas but only after they had consistently proven themselves as the best in the world. Anyone can be good for a couple of games but its another story to be good year in year out. They both achieved the highest award in rugby (world cup) by actually starting and playing in the final!! You could say that they were at their peak

when russel couttes left team nz he was the subject to a whole lot of crap bc people perceived him as not being loyal!!.. just trying to point out that alot of NZers value loyalty very highly.
again, very humble backdown on ritchie and the boys!
Read previous post re LOOK AT ME.. let me put it simply.. sbw publically announced what he was giving .. most others including ritchie and the boys chose to do so anonnimously .. with humility and grace!
please name the people you mentioned.. "alot who have done far less to earn a jersey and have left much quicker than 17 tests".. yet another rash generalisation??
just how close are you exactly?.. must be pretty close as youre very precious towards anyone who says anything wrong about sbw.
Rugby is our national sport.. we are good at it and are consistently the best in the world at it with a record that few sporting teams of any code could match... and for decades most kids playing the game would aspire to be an AB.. those who did make it, put in the hard yards and have come through the grades to achieve their goal...every AB that has been interviewed has said this themselves...they have talked about the mana of the jersey, they have talked about the great legacy of those who have gone before and they have talked about the great tradition of the mighty ABs .Players the world over aspire to one day play the ABs especially in a rugby mad country such as ours. Ritchie couldve made alot more money overseas, so couldve Dan, Brad, Jerome, Conrad, Ma'a, Hosea, Jonah, Josh,..just about any AB and a fair number of fringe players could have done alot better financially by heading overseas... but they didnt bc they believed in the legacy ,tradition, and greatness of the AB jersey that no money could buy...to turn your back on all this, is to show a disregard for what so many have dreamed about and hold so highly.

Kiwiingermany...I hope you are not calling me stupid for airing my opinion? If you are calling me stupid I am just across the border in Denmark and would be very happy to make the tour to Germany and discuss my opinion with you face to face.

kitch, I missed your post on Russell Coutts though I'm not sure how his situation is comparable to that of Sonny Bill Williams. Maybe you can explain?
The judging from afar business was not literal distance , but well done, it was regarding your ability to judge someones intentions and motives without actually knowing them firsthand.. or do you? I'm still waiting to hear your thoughts on the "LOOK AT ME" comment you made when you initially chimed into this thread?
Like I said, I (which means me, personally, not speaking for anyone else but myself) haven't seen Richie and the boys donating 100K, although I'm sure (meaning I presume, I cannot prove, I have not seen but it's likely to expect) they have contributed in some way.
I know the subtleties of the English language are hard to grasp but keep trying , you will get there.
In the meantime enjoy tonights matches, hopefully Sonny and the boys can give you something to appreciate and enjoy.

"mumma!..or worse!".. ? Don't start on his mother now please :)
Actually those aren't "rash generalisations", they are personal experiences, if you read my comments again you'll note the " I " , not " we ", I have only spoken for myself, not for anyone else.
I know English is a confusing language so I will forgive you :)
Kiwiingermany, this "greatest tradition in rugby and one of the greatest traditions in any sport" thing is merely an opinion. Don't get me wrong, I'm a passionate Kiwi and AB fan but some people just don't see things the way you do, there is more to life than the All Blacks and "tradition". . and I'm yet to see where and how Sonny has disrespected any tradition, he was selected, played and then decided to leave. I could name a lot of people who have done far less to earn a jersey and who have left much quicker than 17 tests, people just jump on the wagon because of who it is.
Posted 20:28 12th July 2012
hey kiwiingermany well said... but i dont think youre post counts for much bc youre part of the "minority judging from afar"!! lol
Posted 20:15 12th July 2012
@ rucking kiwi Am not sure what "this tradition thing" is. Probably just bad English. Nevertheless the All Black jersey represents the greatest tradition in rugby and one of the greatest traditions in any sport. Most All Blacks are well aware of that. So-called "SBW" is not. Some money-makers may have told him about it. I am not sad to see him go as Dan Carter said for reasons of diplomacy. I would never have missed him if he had never been there. The outcome of no game would have been different if he hadn't been there. He is, considering character and ability, much better suited to rugby league.
Posted 12:19 12th July 2012
hey rucking kiwi do you realise we could be the only two going back to this article..how sad are we!!
by the way im ritchies mumma so dont you go dissing him saying he hasnt done anything for chch!
peter williams is a broadcaster and sports writer.. but you knew that bc youre up to play with all things rugby!
Posted 11:32 12th July 2012
man rucking kiwi youre starting to sound like his mumma!..or worse!
rash generalisation 1
" i dont know of anyone involved in rugby at any level who has a bad word to say about him"..assuming that all involved in rugby love him
rash generalisation 2
"i havent seen ritchie and the boys donating".. assuming that they havent or no one else for that matter has just bc YOU havent seen them do it!!.. oh hang on you changed youre mind on that...you must be his mumma!
and do tell "what does qualify someone to believe they know better" lol.. ever heard of the pot calling the kettle black!!

Haha Peter Williams, is that the part-time weather man on TV1?
You do realise it's Peter Williams and his media chums who have created the "circus" you speak of?
I'd be interested in you pointing out my "rash generalisations"!
Personal experiences are not rash generalisations.
It certainly wasn't me who threw out terms such as "best in world" or "legend", which you've twisted the argument towards with your comparison to Thorn. Who mentioned Thorn? Of course Thorn's a legend!
Anyway, let's get back to the "LOOK AT ME" thing, which is why you initially chipped into this conversation - so please explain why you choose to attack someone for doing a good deed?
Is it because you cannot handle that someone you know nothing about has decided to turn down the precious black jersey to chase a different dream?
Is it because he has the talent to try his hands at various disciplines and has achieved remarkably well in each?
Is it because you're jealous?
I cannot see how he has disrespected the "honour and privelege" of being an AB. Unfortunate for us but not everyone has the dream of being an AB legend.
I'm not sure why so-called fans think their opinion on how a player, or person for that matter, should live their life or assume their career, chase their dreams and which opportunites they should take is right. What qualifies someone to believe they know better?
Posted 21:38 11th July 2012
geeze ruckinging kiwi one minute youre getting stuck into ritchie and the boys bc YOU havent seen them do anything and the next youre "sure" they have!!... if we keep this up i may get you to resign form the presidency of the sbw pc cheer leading squad soon! I have said in previous posts that it was a great gesture but i think most kiwis value humility and loyalty very highly (look at the vitriole russell cootes had to go through rightly or wrongly!) ... ever hear the words "what kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself"
oh and just bc i may be "judging from afar" my comments are not valid??..good form ruckingkiwi!!.. especially since Planet Rugby is european based ..im sure they wouldnt care a squat that ruckingkiwi thinks opinions from "afar" dont matter! LOL
Posted 19:54 11th July 2012
@ruckingkiwi.. again bc YOU "dont know anyone involved in rugby who doesnt rate the guy" then geeze it must be true!! .. alot of rash generalisations makes me wonder if you even follow the game! Try Peter thorburn a very well respected old rugby head who sees potential in sbw but doesnt really rate him as a starting 80min AB!..bench warmer at best at this stage of his career. Peter williams, doesnt rate sbw. It is a bit naive of you to think any player is going to come out and bag sbw !
Well said @ kiwiingermany..All sbw has brought to rugby is a circus, and to me , a disregard for the honour and privelege of being an AB. I felt the same when big Brad first turned his back on the ABs.. but then he came back applied himself and became a truely great legend of the game. What has sbw done in rugby!.. one could argue he didnt win a world cup bc he didnt even play in the final and only played 5 min in the semi and that was bc In the tri nations, facing decent opposition, he was seriously undone and found wanting in all aspects of the game. So he scored 2 tries against ireland, and i must admit it was good to see him hitting the line at pace rather than hesitating while looking for the offload, but lets not forget it was Cruden who set both those tries up! Offloading is nothing new to rugby either.. some people go on so much about sbw doing what no one else can do, it makes me wonder what theyve been watching or sniffing! Also the chiefs have made it to the finals before without sbw, and this year they have a decent half pairing and coaches thats added a new dimension to their rugby.. i would rate a fit Kahui before sbw anyday! And please dont mention his boxing..what a complete JOKE!
as said before.. potential?-definitetly... the best theres been?-definitely not... best in world?-definitely not
Posted 12:23 11th July 2012
kitch, so you think everyone who makes a public donation is saying LOOK AT ME? Well done. I'm sure Richie and the boys did donate in their own little way, whatever that may be, but no need to cut someone down for doing a good deed... like I said in a previous post, I havent heard of anyone involved in rugby at any level, people who know Sonny or know people who know Sonny say a bad word about the guy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sounds like you're just another part of the minority, judging from afar?!

5. | nilbog | ||
(verb) To interfere with or ruin someone's plan or idea. I was going to call shotgun, but Reffy totally nilbogged me.
1. | Nilbog | ||
Is commonly understood as goblin spelled backwards. Used to by the troll elite to trick mortals into accepting their hospitality. There are absolutely no trolls in Nilbog, none whatsoever.
2. | nilbog | ||
Joshua and his family decide to do a city/country family exchange, landing themselves in the peaceful town of Nilbog. Once there, Joshua's dead grandfather returns to warn him of the evils of Nilbog and tries to get him to convince his family to leave. His parents and sister ignore him. Joshua learns that the town's inhabitants are actually goblins (get it - "Nilbog?") and that their mission is to get outsiders to eat their goblin food, turning them into trees, where they can be eaten and devoured (the goblins are vegetarians). He must work with the ghost of his grandfather to rid the town of its goblins and restore peace to Nilbog. (A strange title, for never once is the word "troll" even mentioned - it's always "goblin.") Dude lets go to nilbog and turn into veggies so little green men can eat us!
3. | Nilbog | ||
Nilbog is 'Goblin' spelt backwards. In 1989 an Italian-American director working under the pseudonym Drake Floyd made an extremely low budget horror-fantasy film with comic touches, nominally called 'Troll 2', although its an unrelated sequel to the 1986 film Troll. The film involves a very straight, though angsty American family visiting a tiny farming village run by wicked vegetarian trolls that seek to turn their victims into half plant-half human mutants and then gorge on the hideous green-sludge remains. Despite being made for only a few hundred thousand dollars, and featuring mostly non-actors and unknowns, Troll 2 is a cult classic and has a small fanbase throughout the world. "Are you crazy boy? We're vegetarians here in Nilbog. Didn't you know that?"
4. | nilbog | ||
noun. A readily transparent attempt to conceal, especially of a flaw or fault. Word originates from the movie Troll 2, where a population of goblins attempting to conceal their presence live in a town called "Nilbog"; goblin spelled backward. He can wear however many of those gurldles as he wants, but it's nothing but a nilbog; he's damn fat.

breaking news
ODESSA--- With the Permian Basin International Oil Show coming to Odessa, restaurants around the Ector County Coliseum are getting ready for increased traffic.
"I'm not gonna run out of anything" says Denny's General Manager, Christina Lawson.
Lawson experienced the last oil show 2 years ago and says that she knows what she's in for.
"I've hired extra staff, ordered some extra groceries and to-go products" says Lawson, knowing that people from the show will be walking across the street to her location for food and drinks.
Lawson says that she expects a 10 percent increase in sales for the week of the oil show.
Lawson hired 4 new cooks and 6 new servers in preparation for the high traffic she's expecting to see.
Other restaurants in the area like Steak Express, Long John Silver's, McDonald's and Taco Villa also say that they have made extra preparations for the thousands of people visiting Ector County.

Hey been lookin to switch my picksups and i don't know much about them.
Here's what's going on:
- Guitar is a Muddy Bullseye
- Tune to C# standard
- 12 gauge bright strings
- Factory pickups (whatever they are)
- Crate Excalibur Head
- Peavey 6560 cab
- Play Melodic/Technical Death Metal
Basically I love the way the guitar plays but i'm looking for some more clarity without losing the crunch and ballsy sound that the guitar already has.
Any suggestions on what i should go with as far as pickups? I'm content with the lows but they could be improved. The highs are disgusting when i switch to the neck pickup though.

I'm the guy who will usually jump on any pickup thread. However, after reading your post, the pickups are not exactly what you need to replace. You could have a custom would set by any number of luthiers, it's not going to sound good through a Crate Excaliber head and a Peavey cab.
I know a lot of guys on here are big Peavey fans, but they have always sounded muddy to me. And I think Shefield speakers are just awful. I haven't kept up with the new Peavey stuff, but if you have Shefield speakers in your cab that's half of your problem. Simply put, with your set-up you are not going to get the sound you want.
I'm not saying to get a tube amp, but for what you want to do, you have to do better than a Crate Excaliber. You would actually do well to find one of the old SUNN solid state amp heads, and use pedals to your liking.
A lot of guys will say to get EMG's or the Seymour Duncan Blackouts for melodic death metal. I would say that's not a bad idea, but do that down the road.
I'm not trying to trash your equipment. I just don't want you to spend a lot of money on pickups, and then wonder why you aren't getting the sound you want. I've seen guys go through all sorts of pickups when what they really needed was to use a different amp or speakers.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

yo no offense taken... only reason i bought the crate head is because i needed a head at the time, found that for $100 and went with it, never got a new one... i don't like the thing at all, its complete garbage
never heard of SUNN amps but i'm gonna check it out. Was lookin at emg's but didn't know which ones to go with, hopefully i wont have to get them now though hah
Thanks alot for the reply and pointin me in the right direction!

This is my old guitar.
At least I think it is?
Anyways, I had a JB and a 59 in it when I sold it.
It sounded AMAZING with those in it.
However, a ZW set of EMG's would be appropriate as well.

If I were to suggest EMG's for you to try out, I would suggest the 81/60 set. It sounds more like what you want. Go to a music shop that sells ESP guitars, and check out one of their guitars that have that set in it. A lot of their models use that set.
SUNN Amps are now vintage amps that aren't made anymore. However, people either love or hate them. They were started up in the 60's, and went out of business in the late 70's/ early 80's. They were the first hi powered amps. The solid state versions gained favor with the doom metal crowd in the early 80's. (Remember, a lot of the hi-gain amps we have now didn't exist back then.) Namely, they have a super wide EQ, so you could really scoop the mids. If you put the gain to 10, you could get a metal sound like scooped Big Muff Pi.
Slash said his first really good amp was a SUNN Beta Lead. Despite the metal guys liking them, they are an extremely versitile amp. If you cut the gain back, and turn the volume up you can get a very loud clean sound out of them. Check out this link for more info on them.
I know normally we don't post links to other manufactuer's sites or fan sites for other brands, but SUNN has been dead ever since Fender killed them off in 2000. So I think everyone will be okay with me posting that link.
Here's a picture of my SUNN Alpha 212R:
It's 120 solid state watts, and is freaking loud. I have trouble playing it in the coffee shop I play in, cause it's so freaking loud. I can't turn the volume/gain knobs. I have to tap them because they are so sensitive.
But I would encourage you to keep asking questions. It's the only way we learn.

CCM Youth Organisation (UVCCM) officials have taken up the chaos ensuing in Zanzibar late last week as arising from the fact that religious preaching groups have now started operating as political parties.
UVCCM chairman Benno Malisa said here yesterday when opening a two-day meeting of the National Governing Council of UVCCM, where he said that the session would deliberate on available means of ensuring that the late Saturday incidents in the Isles aren't repeated.
A campaign to break up the Union, to harm the peace has come up, so we need to figure out how to make sure that these things come to an end, he said, cautioning that those whose vocation is to preach in religious gatherings are now openly doing politics.
He also said UVCCM was readying itself to ensure that it puts off political wildfire put up by opposition parties, noting the annual meeting of the governing council shall ensure that it responds to attacks of the opposition. They have been going around the country promulgating political positions that are based on lies and sedition, he said.
He said UVCCM members need to work around the clock since by staying quiet this gives opposition parties wider space to spread their policy positions to the people, positions which are riddled with falsehoods.
He praised CCM chairman President Jakaya Kikwete for giving leadership positions to youths whenever they have been available.
Welc oming Malisa, UVCCM secretary general Martin Shigela said the meeting's agenda includes an overview of the political situation, political trends in Zanzibar as well as a reconciliation report on UVCCM conflicts by a team led by Hussein Bashe.
Still another item on the agenda is the process of gathering of views on a new constitution and preparations for general elections both in UVCCCM and in CCM itself, he added.

It's about my favorite person on this entire planet, Allyssa. She is the most spectacular human being I've ever met. We love all the same things, and I've never met anybody else that I've appreciated more on this planet. She makes me feel better when I'm At the Bottom of Everything. She isn't a reTardis like all dem bitchez in my home town. She always knows How I Feel and Why It Scares Me. Even when I think I Won't Ever Be Happy Again, she reminds me that I Must Belong Somewhere. Also, she has a really nice wiener.
She was born on the 4th of July because BABY SHE'S A FIIIRREEEEWORRRKKKK.
Thanks For the Memories. Allyssa, you are the best. Happy Birthday (:

pretty awesome
looks pretty sweet, between this and accel world im quite happy.. woulda been nice if it ended with him dinging to level 2 though lol
looks good
I concur this anime is a go. Just one question that guy said the main char is cute and he cried running away are they gay.
lol i doubt it. Just a little bromance. he cried coz he's thinking about survivability and dont want a party..so it seems.
I read the manga before the anime came out and trust me the story is really good
Wow, I'd hate to run into a pk in that situation.
Alright i can go off bromance and i guess all of those people r dead if he isn't get moving. Blaze from this first ep It's freaking amazing.
Cool until the main char became gay in the last 2 mins
is it from makers of hack ? or just similiar rip off?
cool i would totally get that game if it were real or made except for the getting trapped and dying if u log out or w.e part
isnt this similar to hunger games?
lol i really wish there is a game like this man
in 2022 people seem to have forgotten what an emp is. sure it may have a risk of killing someone through the interface but i bet that risk is far smaller then the risk of death in the game.
Bad luck Brian plays Sword Arts Online. An EMP device is activated near his house.
lame, nothing new too much like .hack
It might be similiar to .hack in some ways but you've got to admit it has a pretty decent plotline. I am looking forward to the continuation of this anime. On a serious note though, eventually we will have have virtual gaming like this someday; and when we do I just hope that their will be measures to prevent those things from happening. This does not meen I won't accept vitural interfaces such as in this anime however I will just wait a couple of months after the 2.0 interface is released .
man if they keep showing gay shit in this anime i'll simple do wat i did to fairy tale, block it from my pc and send it a virus.
then dont bother watching it u sour puss
where can i read SAO manga ??
They should really create a game based on this anime.
Bad luck brian plays SAO, he spawned in floor 90
Love this anime, this is so awsome, the perfect amount of romanc and action.
total .hack rip off, but its cool
This is an awesome anime I wish nerve gear was real
This anime is so amazing this is my second time watching the whole season!:) Can't wait for season 2 to come out!!:D NEED MORE SAO!
just a note, I've gone to look again at the manga and what truly happened is way different the result is kind of the same, but if they are gonna make a new series I'd seriously advice of making a remake of what truly happened in the section from when sin got cursed as the thing should've happened in a different order, they wanted to make a season of 25 ep but messying up so much, would be nice if they'd fix it.

2WD 4dr SV
Starting at $36,890 | Starting at 13 MPG City - 19 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Now equipped with standard Bluetooth� and power passenger seating, the 2013 Nissan Armada is an eight passenger SUV powered by 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 317 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque. The Armada comes standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission and FWD (with a 4WD option). Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 12 mpg city to 19 mpg highway, depending on transmission/drivetrain selection. Features include 20-inch wheels, DVD entertainment system, moonroof package, tow package, navigation system, hands-free phone capabilities, leather seats, and Bose� sound system. Safety is comprised of an advanced air bag system, vehicle dynamic control (VDC), traction control system (TCS), anti-lock braking (ABS), and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The Armada is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
When it comes to brute power, the Armada is king. Its V8 engine can handle three rows of people, at least 6,500 pounds in tow and the gear that goes with it all. The three available trim levels offer a price point for almost everyone, with the Platinum model having all the luxury appointments of its competitors, but at a lower price.
For 2013, the Nissan Armada sees only minor changes. Among them is a new Platinum Reserve package, which adds 20-inch dark chrome wheels, grille and mirrors, as well as special leather and interior appointments to the top-of-the-line Platinum trim. A power 4-way passenger seat and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity are now standard on SV models, while USB and VTR ports are standard on all models.
The Nissan Armada is powered by a 5.6L V8 engine that makes 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque via the use of continuous variable valve timing. It comes mated to a 5-speed automatic with tow/haul mode. All three trim levels--SV, SL and Platinum--are available as rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive.
