The velvet trend is rising on its sophistication and elegance. Now you can even experiment with new silhouettes, fabrics and prints in your skirts or shoes. Anything — and everything — is fair game. All you got to do is find your scene-stealing ensemble in this lux fabric that is guaranteed to put all the style points in your corner. Here are some secrets to wearing velvet stylishly.
Do gravitate toward rich colors: Velvet is at its most fantastic in rich jewel hues. You may even go for lighter tones, they are chic as well, and certain bright colored pierces lends a fabulous edge to outwear. For example, a golden kimono will help you nail that relaxed vibe. Alternatively, embrace your fun side in a vibrant turquoise skirt that is fit for parties. Jewel hues like deep blues, emerald greens, bold reds, and amethyst purples are fantastic choices for skirts, rompers or maxi dresses.
For those who prefer it simple, black velvet is a classic shade, and is super flattering on a LBD.
Seek out smooth velvet that looks classy: It's easy to find daywear pieces in crushed velvet, but be wary that such designs don't look cheap. Always go for smooth velvet in the best fabric that feels luxurious.
Velvet doesn't need to be formal all the time: Though suits and dresses are some of the most striking garment, it doesn't mean you can't go for a casual look. Who says comfort and luxury can't be one and the same? Some captivating leggings or velvet dungarees are lazy girl-approved. Style 'em up however you like with an oversized fisherman sweater or sparkly loafers for a consistently on-point look.
Another fun clothing trend is a velvet jumpsuit you can dress down with a slouchy top and slip-on sandals to appear effortless.
Let it play well with others: Velvet fashion can be hard to pair with other styles if you don't know what to look for. In this case, juxtaposition is a striking way to go. To offset the femininity of a velvet maxi dress, pair it with a leather jacket or throw on classy velvet outwear over your more edgy pieces. Don't underestimate the styling value of velvet when it comes to mixing different fabrics, prints and styles in your ensemble.
Velvet toppers will introduce flair: Coats, jackets, and blazers are a great way to go if you want a dash of color or to spruce up a simple blouse and skirt. It doesn't get more chic than a velvet blazer that is guaranteed to turn heads, thrown over any outfit you own. Alternatively, step up your sartorial game in an instant with a pair of ultra luxe printed velvet duster coat that reads full-fledged fashion girl.
Wear velvet as an accessory: Velvet accessories like bag, boots, shoes, chokers and such have been trending for a while, and now is the perfect time to introduce some accessory into your fashion-forward style. Wardrobe conundrums do not exist when you have a pair of lace-up booties in velvet in your possession. Alternatively, you can parade in a fantastic scarf or purse all around town with leather leggings or a lace dress with bell sleeves.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Military discipline and the law
28-09-2011 Article
In June 2011, the South African National Defence Force and the ICRC co-hosted senior operational officers from 60 countries across the globe for the week-long Senior Workshop on International Rules governing Military Operations (SWIRMO). AndrewCarswell, the ICRC's director of that event, discusses the importance of translating international humanitarian and human rights law into the operational practice of armed forces.
The core messages of the law of armed conflict are straightforward: fight only combatants and destroy only military objectives; collect and care for the wounded, whether friend or foe; do not kill, torture or abuse prisoners of war; treat all civilians humanely. Nevertheless, a quick scan of the international media reveals that even these elementary rules are in many cases disregarded in conflicts worldwide.
What explains violations of such basic principles of humanity? Indeed, every country in the world today has ratified the four Geneva Conventions, and the vast majority have signed on to the most important treaties governing warfare. These documents are presumed evidence of a universal political will to mitigate the worst effects of warfare for those who are not or no longer participating in the fighting. So where does the problem lie?
A complex battlefield
Political will aside, a central barrier to legal compliance is the complexity of the modern battlefield. For example, the law requires that armed forces avoid civilian casualties and damage to civilian objects when they plan and execute their operations; but in the post-9/11 world, with fighting forces often intermingling themselves with the civilian population, civilians including private contractors taking part in operations, and armed groups failing to distinguish themselves on the battlefield, how will the soldier know who he can and cannot target? In 2009 the ICRC authored a guidance document on the legal concept of direct participation in hostilities aimed at answering that question. But a clean divide between combatant and civilian is an historical relic.
Furthermore, the soldier no longer finds himself solely on the traditional battlefield. Today he is engaged in complex peace support and stabilization operations, law enforcement, counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism – a sliding scale of violence to which the laws of war are only applicable at the most violent end, and for which a nuanced understanding of another body of law – international human rights law – is required.
Another central issue is the difficulty of translating the Geneva Conventions and other international legal obligations into military practice. In 2004, the ICRC commissioned a study on the psychological roots of behaviour in war. It concluded that well-intentioned civilians and military lawyers may, if adequately persuasive, convince soldiers of the importance of international humanitarian law. However, such a change in attitude will have little effect on their behaviour on the battlefield in the face of orders that oblige them to violate the law.
The origin of military orders
Soldiers are creatures of discipline, and almost every aspect of their professional lives is governed by orders. For the man in uniform, failure to abide by orders has consequences ranging from losing weekend leave to being stripped of rank in front of his peers. Just as the ties that bind soldiers can be stronger than the union of marriage, the orders they receive from their superiors will often outweigh even morality as a driver of behaviour.
International law must therefore form an integral part of the sources of military orders – doctrine, classroom education, field training, standard operating procedures, rules of engagement – if armed forces and their political masters wish to give meaning to their obligations. Because discipline is the hallmark of a professional armed force, international humanitarian and human rights law must be inextricably linked to discipline.
The 2011 Senior Workshop on International Rules governing Military Operations aimed to reinforce this link for 60 militaries from around the world, promoting translation of the law from theory into operational practice.

HATTIESBURG — South Mississippi school districts have not been lax when it comes to keeping tabs on their 16th Section land.
"We do monitor it very closely," said Ben Burnett, Lamar County School District superintendent. "It's something that we've improved upon a good bit, as far as our collections, and it's an important revenue source for us."
Sixteenth Section land was set aside to provide funding for the state's school districts. Many think of such property as rural in nature, with districts reaping revenue from timber sales.
While that is certainly the case in many instances, much present-day money is generated by leases on residential and commercial property.
"That's about all we have, the commercial and residential, and most of those are long-term leases," said Jas N Smith, public relations director for the Hattiesburg Public School District. "So, we don't have to monitor those properties as closely as maybe some others."
Like timberland. That issue came under the spotlight when a Saucier man was arrested April 26 and charged with three counts of timber theft from 16th Section land belonging to the Pearl River County School District and the Poplarville School District.
Harold Edwin Simmons, 54, had been contracted to harvest timber from 16th Section land. He is accused of underreporting about 300 truckloads of timber, pocketing about $375,000.
Poplarville had timber estimated at $368,334 taken from two parcels; Pearl River County lost an estimated $4,393 from one parcel.
Rick Norton, attorney for the Lamar County school board, said that the district works closely with the Mississippi Forestry Commission to manage the 16th Section timber in the county.
Over the past 10 years, Norton said the district had been among the top 10 in the state, averaging a $96-per-acre return on its timberland.
"There's a 20-year cut we follow, for cutting and replanting," Norton said. (2 of 2)
Mike Papas, director of auxiliary services for the Forrest County School District, said MFC officials and the Secretary of State's office have worked with districts to strengthen protection of 16th Section land.
"The last couple of years, when there's a timber cut, someone from (Forestry Commission) will be down here at least three days a week, and even more when there's a timber sale," Papas said. "We are concerned with managing our (16th Section) land, but we haven't seen anything to draw any red flags."
Rural property can produce funds in other ways. Counties sell leases for hunting and fishing on the land at a minimum of $5 per acre per year. Easements and rights of way can be sold as long-term agreements to utilities and other commercial entities, while governmental bodies lease property for the likes of landfills, storage barns or recreational use.
Papas said Forrest County received $117,192 from annual surface leases in 2008-09, up from about $75,000 five or six years ago.
The district also receives "lump sum" payments from easements and other leases, including a 10-year, $77,000 contract with the United States Department of Agriculture to reforest land scoured of trees by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Then there's pine straw.
Lamar County will be taking bids for leases on the collection of longleaf pine straw that will be worth about $20,000 a year.
Lamar County also reaps revenue from leases of commercial and residential property.
One of the county's 13 parcels contains the likes of Oak Grove High School, Temple Baptist West and Optimist Park. Another encompasses downtown Purvis, which Norton described as a series of 40-year, residential leases.
"We have over 600 leases in Lamar County, and we've given a lot of attention to update our records and identify leases when they are set to expire," Norton said.
That attention to detail helped the district collect about $700,000 from leases in fiscal year 2008-09, said Jennifer Hession, district business manager.
"This year, we've collected about $550,000 and expect to collect a good bit more," Hession said. "We should be around $600,000."
Debbie Burt, Forrest County superintendent, said the district has had a good relationship with its leaseholders.
"Our people are very, very punctual," Burt said.

Create Table of Contents From PDF Bookmarks
- Overview
- The AutoBookmark™ software provides functionality for automatic generation of hyperlinked table of contents for PDF documents. The hierarchical table of contents (TOC) is created from existing PDF bookmarks by inserting new pages into corresponding PDF document or saving it as a separate PDF document. The software provides fine control over visual appearance of the table of contents entries and flexible page numbering options. The functionality provides a convenient way of creating new or updating existing table of contents for PDF documents. The software can automatically find and delete any previously generated TOC and re-build table of content pages again from the current set of bookmarks.
- Functionality
Table of contents generation (TOC) is available in the following modes:
- Generating TOC for a single PDF document and inserting it into document itself.
- Generating TOC for a single PDF document and saving it as a separate PDF document.
- Generating Master TOC for multiple PDF documents and saving it as a separate PDF document.
- Visual Page Index provides an alternative way to add visual table of contents to PDF documents. Use it to generate page index with hyperlinked thumbnail images of PDF pages.
- Example of TOC generated for a single PDF document
- TOC is generated from document's bookmarks and is hyperlinked:
- Example of Master TOC generated for multiple PDF documents
- TOC is generated based on bookmarks from multiple PDF documents and is hyperlinked to point to original PDF files:
- Internal and External Table of Contents
- The software can generate both internal and external table of contents. Internal TOC is inserted into a specified location within the document itself (typically somewhere at the beginning of the document). External TOC is saved as a separate PDF document and each TOC entry is linked back to the main document(s).
- Visual Appearance
- The software provides selection of separate text styles to use for generating various parts of table of contents. Choose separate font, text size and color for the TOC title and 4 levels of the headings. Both line spacing and level offset cab be customized. Optionally, text color for each entry in tha TOC can be inherited from corresponding bookmark.
- Hyperlinks
- Each TOC entry has the same hyperlink (PDF "action") as a corresponding bookmark. The hyperlink can be of any kind and point inside or outside of the current PDF document. The page numbers are displayed only for TOC entries created from bookmarks that point to a page in the current PDF document. TOC entries that do not point to a page will have no corresponding page number displayed.
- The following example shows TOC entry link "action" (as displayed by Link Inspector tool):
- Table of Contents From Text File
- The AutoBookmark generates TOC from a current set of document's bookmarks. However, often the desired entries for the TOC are supplied in the form of the text file. It is easy to generate TOC from a text file by first importing bookmarks from text and then generating a table of contents. Alternatively, it is possible to use any of the automated bookmarking tools to build bookmarks prior to TOC generation. The following example shows a sample tab-delimited text file with bookmarks defined that can be used to generate TOC:
Account Overview 5
Checking Account 6
Saving Account 7
IRA Account 9
Interest, Divident and Other Income 12
High Yeild Savings 15
- Page Dimensions and Margins
- The software can either automatically select a desired page size and orientation for TOC pages (based on the dimensions of the first page in the current PDF document) or use a user-specified page size. Page margins can be individually customized as well.
- Bookmark Levels To Use
- Select a range of bookmark levels that should be used for generating a table of contents. Bookmarks without actions can be optionally skipped. This feature provide a way to exclude certain bookmark levels from TOC.
- Page Numbering Options and Styles
The AutoBookmark™ software provides 4 different option for TOC page numbers.
The software can use:
- Page Labels
- The software can use custom page labels as displayed in the "Page Thumbnails" navigation panel and in the "current page number" box in Adobe Acrobat. Page labels can contain any kind of text, not only decimal numbers. Page labels are great way to use different page numbering schemes within one document.
- Original Page Numbers
- Sequential page numbers (starting from 1) for PDF pages before the table of contents is inserted into the PDF document. Optionally, a user-specified page offset can be applied.
- Named Destinations
- If bookmarks are using named destinations to point to page views, then it is possible to use destinations as "page numbers" in the TOC text. This is a very flexible method that provides a way to use custom text for page labeling. It is especially useful, if it is necessary to use "logical" page numbers that are different from "physical" ones. Unlike all other methods that always provide only single "page reference" for each "physical" page in the PDF document, named destinations allow to use multiple different references to a single page. There can be any number of destinations for every page in the document
- Bates Numbers (if available)
- Bates numbers are special kind of identification numbers that can be added to PDF pages by "Add Bates Numbering" function in Adobe® Acrobat® . If there are no Bates numbers assigned to the pages, then the corresponding page number will be blank.
- There are multiple different styles available for displaying leaders:
- Custom TOC Page Labeling
There are 5 different methods how TOC pages can be labeled.
Page labels are shown in the "Page Thumbnails" navigation panel and in the "current page number" box in Adobe Acrobat.
Page labels can contain any kind of text, not only decimal numbers. TOC pages use a separate from the rest of the document page labeling scheme, because TOC pages are automatically generated and potentially can be updated later.
- Decimal numbers, such 1,2,3,4
- Upper case Roman numerals, such as I, II, III, IV, V,..X
- Lower case Roman numerals, such as i, ii, iii, iv,.. x
- Upper case alphabetic labels, such as A, B, C, D,...
- Lower case alphabetic labels, such as a, b, c, d,...
- Insert Cover Pages
- This option takes a user-selected PDF file and inserts all of its pages in front of the table of contents.
- Add Custom Background
- Add custom background of any complexity to every TOC page. Design a page in the separate PDF file to serve as a background and use it to customize visual appearance and behavior of the TOC pages. The first page from the "background" PDF will be placed behind the content of every generated TOC page. Use this functionality to add borders, navigational buttons or links, custom headers or footers.
- Here is an example of the TOC with background PDF added. It adds some graphics and navigational toolbar.
- The following example shows how to use background PDF to add custom header and footer with company information:
- Another example shows use of colored background for a more informal document:
- Advanced Scripting
- Use custom Acrobat JavaScript code to customize TOC pages while getting fine control over PDF document properties. The Acrobat JavaScript is an extension to the commonly used JavaScript programming language that provides access to objects, properties and methods available in Adobe Acrobat.
- Deleting TOC Pages
- The software can automatically find existing TOC pages (generated by AutoBookmark) in the current PDF document and remove/replace them. This feature is convenient for rebuilding table of contents. This operation is also available as command in Action Wizard for batch processing.
- Video Tutorial: Creating Table of Contents Using AutoBookmark
- The video explains how to create table of contents from PDF bookmarks using AutoBookmark software.

Monday: CrossFit, Love, and the Rest of Your Life!
I say it a lot on Mondays – something along the lines of "it's a new week and a new chance to start this week off right and make another positive step towards the rest of the life you want." More or less…
But…on Saturday night I was more than pleasantly reminded about the power of Community and just how awesome CrossFit is at High Voltage.
See we had our very first couple that literally met at the box end up getting married on Saturday. And we couldn't be more happy for them.
Eric and Nikki two of our Volts and Vixens who embody all the awesome we talk about every day here met during a Saturday 'Team WOD' a while back. Eric in a truly suave move asked Nikki to be WOD together. Love at first kettlebell swing? Yeah pretty much. Even Eric's kids Lauren and Nathan train with us on the regular and they were the bride's maid and best man. How cool is that?
It just make me think when you commit to putting your best foot forward when you put yourself out there to make 'life changes' you never really know what that's going to mean. One thing is for certain things in your life will not be the same as they were the day before. It might mean just being a little happier than you were the day before – and that alone is HUGE – but…but…it might even mean something more. For Eric & Nikki it did.
Committing to making changes isn't easy. Everyone is watching YOU to see if you can deliver. BUT that is exactly why you ARE going to succeed. Putting yourself out there is WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS. It's why being accountable works and it's why we are stronger together than we are alone.
Everyone on the High Voltage Team wishes Eric & Nikki a life of happiness and we know they couldn't have found a better match for each other. Here's a big 'Yeah Buddy' from our entire High Voltage Community!
Sound off in Comments and show the fit couple some love!
Monday's Training:
All Levels CrossFit
Level 1 CrossFit
|A. 3 Sets
|Skill: Deadlift
|B. 4 Rounds 1 min per station for max score
|WOD: 3 Rounds for max reps
Score is:

Is Twitter rubbish?
7 comments:
I agree. It's..... garbage.ReplyDelete
Why thank you Gavin!ReplyDelete
- Tony StephensonNovember 17, 2010 at 12:27 AM
I've just started using Twitter as a source of information on Social Media. It's also a source of continual frustration. Twitter isn't garbage, but some of the content is. I find it hard to believe that some of the links/posts contained within Tweets have even been read. Great way to distribute information, all the same.ReplyDelete
Thanks Tony, I still haven't left it to be fair! I think one thing I find frustrating is that many people use Twitter to voice opinions, opinions I often disagree with. But 140 characters is too little to hold a debate, I can't properly respond. Twitter is enough to propagandise, but not enough to debate.ReplyDelete
Perhaps I should just chill out and use it as an access to interesting stories instead!
- AnonymousFebruary 16, 2011 at 9:00 AM
My sympathies. I'm relatively new to Twitter too and find my 'time line' both clogged and fairly random. My current way of using it is to ignore my time line totally and just search for those that interest me, and read their pages to see what they've being saying (such as India Knight). I suspect the next step will be to 'unfollow' most of the people I am supposed to be following.ReplyDelete
Have you worked out the etiquette yet for 'unfollowing'?
I googled "Twitter Rubbish" and found this entry on your blog, which amused me no end!
Hehe thanks for the comment! I guess I still haven't really figured out the system yet, almost a year later, and I think you're right about unfollowing people! I don't know the etiquette so I'll probably go straight for the blunt and brutal approach of weeding out the uninteresting ;)ReplyDelete
It depends, of course, what purpose Twitter is meant to serve. For serious discussions it seems a poor medium, its size limitation meaning it can only reinforce prejudices instead of challenging them. 140 characters is enough space to post a sarcastic joke or a provocative statement, but not enough to back up claims with evidence.
Having said that, I still post updates from this blog on Twitter, a shout into the darkess from time to time!
Why even bother...you have other 'channels' where you can have meaningful discussion.ReplyDelete

Oh my goodness, being a Parsons freshman is hard work. I have had a crazy week!
However, that hasn't stopped me from being excited about
On Saturday, October 24th
there will be events occurring all over the world to bring attention to the issue of global warming. The point is to make world leaders realize that it is a big issue that people are passionate and opinionated about, and they all need to take action at the Copenhagen Climate talks in December.
Check out www.350.org to find an event in a city near you. On October 24th, you can find me walking across the Brooklyn Bridge with other Greenpeace volunteers!
So get out there and make your voice heard!
Nikkidee! :]

See in this article my first story of comics (longer than 3 panels), completely made by me! Its name's "Just at time" and I think that the images are pretty good, even if the text is not too great. I know that's a short one, but as I said it's my first comics with more than 3 panels long... That's it:
Why do you think about it? Leave me a comment.

♦ 2012 Tempranillo - Reserve ♦
Wine: 75% Tempranillo, 13% Grenache, 12% Graciano
This special Reserve bottling represents what happens when we set aside our most complex and interesting barrels of Tempranillo, then add some Grenache and Graciano. It is a similar blend to what is found in the great Riojas of Spain. We tasted through every barrel of Tempranillo from this vintage and found the ones that had the most depth and complexity. To this we added the Grenache and Graciano to add more depth and complexity.
Vineyard: Pierce Ranch
Appellation: San Antonio Valley (Southwestern Monterey County)
Alcohol: 13.5%
Production: 125 cases
The wine has great amounts of cranberry, pomegranate and sour cherry fruit with nuances of smoky-earthy spice. It has the intensity of a mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon but the complexity and food paring capability of a Pinot Noir.

Interview by Vesheshta Thakur; Editing by Anobik Saha
Meet Aashna Narula – a social entrepreneur and healer, trying to change the world, one person at a time, through her coaching institute, Pyschopedia. The institute is meant to deliver lessons in psychology in a manner that makes learning fun, inspiring and all-consuming. She had a hard time finding a good job when she was 23 and instead of getting consumed by self-doubt and negativity, decided to strike out on her own. Read on learn more about Aashna's story.
Hi Aashna. Thanks for taking out the time to speak with us. Can you please introduce yourself to the readers of Indspire Me?
Psychopedia started when I was 23, as a psychology coaching institute where the idea was not to make coaching boring but full of love for learning. It is first of its kind in town to provide psychology coaching at high school level, undergraduate level, master's level and UGC level.
We are our students' mentors, creating an environment which sometimes even schools lack, conducting positive, happy workshops and reaching out to all we could in the hour of need. I started it because as a 23 year old, when I did not get a job, I decided not to sit at home waiting for interview calls and start to doubt myself. So instead I created this opportunity for myself. Coming from a small town called Nahan, always known as "Narula Ji's" daughter, I wanted to do something on my own, always wanted to be a self-made, independent woman.
Why did you choose the unconventional career path of a therapist?
I wouldn't like to call myself a therapist.
We still live in an era where we believe that if a person is going to a therapist then there is definitely a problem and that it's going to be expensive. It will also be time consuming because as a therapist you can only reach out to those who need psychological help. As a therapist, you wait for clients to come in.
I believe that I am a healer who is just trying to heal this world, one person at a time and as a healer I don't limit myself to adults and children but to animals as well.
What is your greatest strength as a healer?
I believe that I can make a difference by giving unconditional positive regard and empathy to anyone who needs it; accepting everyone as they are, recognising their strengths, that everyone is fighting a battle and needs support without any supplemental judgment.
In your opinion, what subject combination one should take along-side psychology, if the aim is entrepreneurship?
I think that an entrepreneur is someone who can create something that benefits everyone. By being skilled in social entrepreneurship, you can create job opportunities and employment for the underprivileged.
Where do you see Psychopedia five years from now?
I work every day to grow and I think that our everyday growth and challenges make us who we are going to be in a few months, not five years. I don't want to share with the readers anything I might not be able to achieve but yes achieving and then talking about it makes more sense.
What challenges do you face in terms of teaching and mentoring the multicultural population in Chandigarh?
When I started it 2.5 years back, it seemed a big challenge. How do you make people trust you? How do you make people understand that our vision is unique? How do you make people understand that an individual has more potential than just the degree they hold? How do you stop people from picking up your ideas? How do you stop the negativity when people try to bring you down and your business just because they assume you are blessed?
I have faced all of it and still am. But I am able to overcome them because of our hard work. This journey has been full of struggles and yet full of growth. The journey of "becoming", the journey of not just surviving but thriving as well.
And now, we are not just using our classroom to teach psychology but to mentor economical weaker children of the society as well.
Recently we have also started an initiative called Little Rogers on the lines of unconditional positive regard where we are mentoring & teaching basics to underprivileged children & in return their parents will be helping us with dog food.

Johnny Spillane Biography
Born in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, on November 24, 1980, Johnny Spillane was an avid skier and ski jumper by the age of 10. In 2003 he became the first American to win a gold medal at the Nordic World Championships. He made history again at the 2010 Winter Games when he became just the third American to medal in a Nordic event.
Early Years
Skier Johnny Spillane was born on November 24, 1980, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In a town famous for producing and attracting Olympic athletes, Spillane was immersed in the world of skiing and winter sports at an early age. He was on skis at 2 years old and at the age of 9 started ski jumping at Steamboat's famous Howelsen Hill, located just a couple of blocks from his home. "Every day, the first thing I saw when I walked out the door was the ski jump," Spillane once recalled.
Initially an avid alpine skier, Spillane switched to Nordic at the age of 12 and never went back. He has since become one of the world's top athletes in the Nordic combined, which blends ski jumping and Nordic skiing.
Nordic Glory
While a junior at Lowell Whiteman School, where his father worked as headmaster, Spillane qualified for the 1998 U.S. Olympic team as an alternate. The experience allowed him to travel with the team to Japan and become acclimated to high-pressure international competition.
The following year, he helped an upstart U.S. team win the gold at the World Junior Championships in Austria. But it was at the 2003 Nordic World Championships in Italy where Spillane achieved international fame. In thrilling fashion, Spillane came from behind at the last second in the 7.5 km event to become the first American to win a gold. Almost as shocking was the fact that Spillane had raced with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Following a disappointing performance at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, Spillane bounced back at the 2010 Vancouver Games. In the combined normal hill event, Spillane made history by capturing the silver, making him just the third American to ever medal in a Nordic event at the Olympics. Later, Spillane earned two additional silvers, in the 4x5 Team Event and the 10 km large individual hill. In April 2013, Spillane announced his retirement after having competed for more than 13 years.
Personal Life
Spillane lives with his wife Hilary, a photographer, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They have two daughters, Hadley and Genevieve.

Monday, January 9, 2012
Some day's I just don't feel like venturing into the unknown. Some days I want to walk in and know exactly what I'm going to get.
Today was one of those days. It was also a Monday and a pay day. So I grabbed my check. Hit the bank and headed to Leo's.
Now I know your mileage may vary but all of my visits to Leo's over the years have been consistent making it my second favorite Q-raunt in the OKC area. You'll have to tune back in to a future blog post to find out my favorite.
From day one I have ordered the exact same thing every visit. Leo's Special (aka Grand Slam) which consists of bologna, chopped beef, hot links, and ribs. Two sides, I chose beans and macaroni salad today, two slices of white bread and....... cake. I'll talk about the cake later.
The ribs are meaty and have a nice hickory flavor on them. Now one could add sauce to them but in my opinion one would be making a mistake. While Leo's sauces are unique and like no other sauce I have ever tasted in Oklahoma. These ribs don't need sauce. It would almost be like putting ketchup on a Kobe steak. Like getting your salsa made in...... NEW YORK CITY!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It should be almost impossible to screw up smoked bologna and Leo's doesn't disappoint here either. I'm not sure what brand of bologna they are using but it's tasty. Doesn't seem to be as salty as a lot of bologna.
It would make a pretty tasty sammich but I eat it plain and save the bread, and the sauce, for the hot links.
I made one sammich with the mild and and one with the hot and both were mighty tasty. Once again I'm not sure where Leo's get their links but they are some good links. Just enough heat to let you know you're eating a hot link but not so hot you can't enjoy it. They also don't seem to be as salty as some other links I have eaten.
The beans at Leo's are sweet and have chopped beef added to them. The macaroni salad is good and the pasta is cooked al dente. I hate mushy pasta so I appreciate the fact that Leo's doesn't over cook theirs.
Oh and there's one other added benefit to eating at Leo's. You get to enjoy the smell of hickory on your clothes all day and watch people's mouths water as you walk by and they know where you've been. If I could bottle that smell and sell it as a cologne I would!

Leo's uses Schwab's Bologna & Schwab's Hot Links. They are already smoked, however, Leo's smokes them even more which is what makes them so unique. Check out the new Schwab Meat Co. website -ReplyDelete

Love Leo's. It fell off for a bit when (I think) Charles and his wife were splitting up. And there was a lull when Leo passed, but it's great again.ReplyDelete
A few of us did a bbq tour like this maybe 7 or 8 years ago and our favorite that we all agreed on was ET's. It was in a plaza close to Remington and was absolutely outstanding. I think they moved, don't know what happened.
George's Happy Hog had the best chicken I may have ever had. But, I'm fairly sure they changed ownership. Haven't gone back in a few years. That was a shame because it was damn good too.Replies
I have not been to ET's but they are out on Waterloo Rd now.Delete
I think the new owners of George's are turning out solid Q based on my handful of recent visits there. A few consistency issues but still good Q.
Used to go to the 4th Street Leo's a lot and always had good Q there. Don't make it over to the 36th & Kelley (The original) location very often but I really enjoye the ribs we were served when we were doing the 2015 OKC Broken Rib Tour.

text: Woke up morning of the game pretty nervous. We'd had a great tour and we all wanted to finish it off with a win. Unfortunately things were not going according to plan. In about the 10th minute I came rushing out of the goal to try and reach a through ball. Needless to say a Motherwell player got there first and I caught him, free kick awarded. The ref told me if it happened again I was off. So obviously I was now going to be ultra cautious and sensible in my decision-making well until about 10 minutes later! An almost identical situation occurred and I felt I had to come out again, so I rushed out half with it in my mind not to catch the player but importantly I just had to get to the ball first. Guess what I caught the player once again. I honestly thought I got a bit of the ball this time but the ref thought otherwise. He booked me but if it had been a proper match I would have been off for sure. For this reason, Jamie brought me off. He said he did it because I would have been sent off in a proper match. I was obviously devastated at this, but I understood his reasoning fully. We went on too lose the match 4-2 and it wasn't the end to the tour we were looking for.

A very interesting question popped up today: what happens when a SQL Server instance is restarted?
When an instance of SQL Server is shutdown (i.e. on the way to be restarted) what happens is:
- all databases have checkpoints
- all SQL Server Agent jobs are terminated and the Agent is shut down
- all database files are released to the OS, i.e. SQL Server service releases the locks to the mdf and ldf files (and all other files)
- the memory used by the SQL Server instance is released
- all metadata collected for the DMVs and DMFs is discarded
- an event in the Default trace file is written marking the SQL Server instance shutdown
When an instance of SQL Server is started (i.e. after the service is authenticated and is starting) what happens is:
- the startup parameters of the SQL Server service are read, since they contain information about the location of the master database files and the error log location. The startup string looks like this:
- the port on which the SQL Server is responding are open
- the memory is allocated for use by the SQL Server instance (according to the minimum memory settings of the instance)
- the master database metadata is read – the master database contains metadata about all user databases on the instance and their status
- all user databases are attached to the instance and file lock is acquired on the files (ask yourself: what happens when there are hundreds of databases on a single instance)
- the tempdb files are allocated according to the settings for their initial size – depending on the security policy settings and the initial size of the tempdb files this may take longer or shorter time; also, keep in mind that the tempdb collation settings are picked up by the model database
- an event in the Default trace is written noting that the instance is started
- all events are written to the SQL Server log – whether there are just info messages or error messages
- connections to the databases are accepted
- metadata is collected about significant events in the DMVs and the DMFs
-dC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf; -eC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG; -lC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf
This is not an exhaustive list of events during a SQL Server instance restart. If you have ideas or corrections to this blog post, feel free to post a comment or to drop me a line.

This week, we are focusing on the state of play in Brexit. Below, we provide a guide to the various scenarios it potentially presents for Irish business.
Brexit in context – the state of play
Some interesting contextual matters floating around in advance of the next leaders summit in Brussels in December from an Irish perspective:
a) Many sources now rate a hard Brexit, possibly quite soon, as 50/50 at the moment based on the instability in the UK.
b) The UK government was shown this week to be (still) woefully ill-prepared for negotiations. They admitted that sectoral level analysis (perviously stated to be in excruciating detail) according to Brexit Minister David Davis does not actually exist. Awkward.
c) The progress the EU understood to have been made on reciprocal rights for EU/UK citizens and on settling the "bill" for leaving the EU has taken a few steps back in the past ten days. Senior sources in Brussels place the blame firmly on the instability in the UK government which has changed its position on these non-negotiable points since the Florence speech and the last round (round 4) of EU/UK negotiations. This has rocked the state of play and respective positions held.
d) In this context, the Irish border comes back into light as it remains an insoluble question. The Irish Farmer's Association, which has an office and effective lobbying operation in Brussels, published a Brexit report on the needs of Irish farming in March 2017. Their fifth recommendation (page 41) is one that may be seen as a work around for what many see as an inevitable hard border. The IFA are calling for time bound, targeted suspension of State aid rules for the farming sector. In other words, the solution is to take out the cheque book and pay to solve the border question while focusing on the bill and "freedoms" questions. Not the state of play you hear spouted on the radio (should you be listening). The IFA's call is as follows and is being seriously considered as we understand it:
" The market disturbance caused by the sterling depreciation is impacting unequally on different Member States and different sectors, depending on their exposure to trade with the UK. Ireland, and the Irish agri-food sector in particular, are hugely impacted by the exchange rate movements that have occurred as a result of the UK referendum.
EU State Aid limits must be extended in Member States that have been disproportionately impacted by the depreciation of sterling, and whose competitiveness versus their EU trading partners has been undermined."
|Fact checking
|Hard Brexit
|A deal that would see the UK crash out of the EU and the WTO. They would have to apply to the WTO for membership. It is unclear at this stage whether they will be able to apply for membership before leaving the EU. The EU can block such an application.
This implies UK can set its own economic, trade and social policy priorities and is outside the jurisdiction of the ECJ. They are outside the Single Market and the Customs Union.
|Soft Brexit
|A deal that entails a future relationship that has closer ties than WTO rules imply. Due to the politics of immigration in the UK, this seems unlikely at this point in time.
This implies access to the single market (or customs union at a minimum, diminishing the effects on the Irish border question), passporting access for financial services, free movement of capital and people (some soft controls), EU budget contribution and compliance with EU regulations with very limited influence on the regulations.
|Uniquely complex border
|Ireland does not and never has had a uniquely complex border. It is no more complex that Finland's with Russia and less complex than Norway's with Sweden and Greece's border with Albania. There are a number of complex, lengthy external border to Europe's east with Belarus & the Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. The Turkish border is at its most complex in Cyprus which officially remains in a state of de facto occupation.
The point of this is that Ireland will get sympathy from our EU partners but not much more than that. Every other state has to police the border and get on with it. It is neither unique nor the most complex.
|The Bill
|While much focus is on the untying of collateral obligations on the part of the United Kingdom, the bill is not a hard bill. Indeed, many of these obligations will take several years to untie and are likely to run past the 2019 deadline and any potential extension to this deadline under a transitional arrangement.
|Reciprocal Rights
|The EU wanted to achieve a deal on this rapidly but UK is the party that has dragged its feet on this. The immigration issue is a bigger political issue in the UK with respect to this aspect of the deal than it is in the EU. The EU will not compromise on freedom of movement principles. A hard Brexit will happen first and Merkel, Barnier, Juncker have all said this.
|NI vs Scotland
|Any special deal for Northern Ireland, including any potential border poll, which may be required as a result of the Good Friday Agreement, has implications for Scotland. The SNPs fortunes have taken a hit since Brexit but the Union is exposed to reciprocity principles for its constituent parts. It matters little at this point that a Border poll would be very unlikely to see a change in the political status of Northern Ireland – it may be a constitutional necessity as the GFA, an international treaty that is lodged with the United Nations, assumes both states are part of the EU.
|NI vs the Irish State
|The Irish State is seeking as cohesive a solution as possible for Northern Ireland officially for now. It is far from clear that Ireland will continue to do so in the long run however. Should, for instance, a UK state engage in tax arbitrage, customs arbitrage or other legitimate trade tactics following a hard Brexit, the Irish State may adopt stronger realist policy stances and reduce the current focus on interdependent policy positions.
|The Irish State vs UK
|The Irish State has an interest in avoiding a hard Brexit even if that is the UK's position. The Irish State also has a large number of Irish Nationals that are EU citizens living and/or working in the UK. While Ireland may be speaking softly, it is in Ireland's interests to ensure EU citizen's rights are as strong as possible in the UK. It is also in Ireland's interests to position itself in the event of a hard Brexit to take advantage of the areas Britain thrived in while a member of the EU.
|The Irish State vs EU
|The Irish State is repositioning itself within the EU and reviving its diplomacy playbook from the days of Margaret Thatcher – triangulating our positions. This is evident to anyone familiar with diplomacy. The Taoiseach has attended meetings with the Nordic and Baltic States and with the Visegrad groups of central European states. Broadly speaking, these groups oppose ever closer integration. He has also met with ardent Europhiles like Emmanuel Macron – Ireland's ally on Common Agricultural Policy since 1972. This week, there was talk of a new "Hanseatic League" emerging as a counter weight to the Franco-German axis and Ireland is very much part of this. Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the three Baltic States and Ireland are developing common positions and interests as a block of small and medium sized states. The Netherlands and Germany are staying friendly with this emerging grouping also. The UK asked if Teresa May could attend and were given a firm "no". Collectively, this gives the States a population of 26.5m where they cooperate placing them ahead of Romania and behind Poland, Spain, France and Germany as a grouping. It is a smart move. Where the Netherlands cooperates with the group (should they ever do so), only France and Germany will represent a larger population (the UK is being excluded for the purposes of this).
|Hard borders
|The UK is not just facing a hard border in Ireland but also in Spain with Gilbralter. The Spanish government is displaying its view of territorial integrity currently. All of the current third countries the EU has borders with have customs control.
|Trade deals
|The UK cannot commence negotiations in substance with the EU or the any other party until it has left the European Union without the unanimous agreement of the members. It is unlikely that they would get this so it isn't being formally sought.
|Transitional period
|The UK may be offered an additional 20 months (up to the end of 2020). This is shorter than the Chancellor of the Exchequer wants. He envisaged a period of up to five years.
|WTO membership
|The UK will have to become a member so there may be an inter-regnum period. A transitional period with the EU's permission to submit an application to join the WTO is the only way the UK can avoid crashing out of the global system of trade. While this could be straightforward if the UK sticks to the EU's terms with the WTO, it should be noted that it is a lengthy process for some states. Vietnam took 11 years, China 15. The UK is an advanced open state but in whose interest is it for the UK to have an easy passage?
|Making Brexit Painful
|There is a strong view in the EU and across leading new members that are very influential like Poland that non-membership must be demonstrably worse than membership. The UK is a large, important market but this is about politics, not economics.
|Currency issue
|The currency issue has the capacity to amplify the benefits and pitfalls of the exit from the EU for both Ireland and the UK. A weaker sterling may compensate for tariffs in many areas but it makes Irish companies seeking to supply the UK uneconomic. Most Irish trade is priced on a long term absolute base Sterling/Euro relationship within a margin of error of £1 = €1.15.

Written by Gradye Parsons
Each month the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Moderator or Vice Moderator of the 220th General Assembly write a column of general interest for the church-at-large.
The late Maya Angelou showed real insight into people when she said, "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way(s) he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights." Hopefully she never observed me in any of those situations.
In the Bible there are all kinds of stories about people not handling life well. The grumbling in the wilderness, the disciples arguing over who is first, and Paul fussing at Peter for picking the wrong lunch table are just a few examples. My favorite example is found in Luke 9.
The chapter starts out with such promise. The disciples are given the power to heal and are sent out in twos into the villages. So many people follow the disciples back that the disciples are overwhelmed with the thought of feeding them. Jesus steps into that mess and feeds them with abundance. Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus picks Peter, John, and James, and heads for a mountain retreat. The disciples see Jesus transfigured along with what appears to be Moses and Elijah. No doubt identified by their Facebook page.
Down from this spiritual high they enter into a nice mess. A father has brought his child to be healed by the remaining disciples. The disciples have tried everything they know to do. Nothing has worked. A crowd has gathered and the embarrassment meter is rising by the minute. Jesus reacts with some strong emotions about the disciples, the crowd, and humanity in general. He proceeds to heal the boy "and all were astounded at the greatness of God" (v. 43).
Jesus expresses frustration and he untangles the mess. This insight into Jesus' character, and through him God's character, is consistent with all we read in scripture. Yes God laments over our messes and yes God works through the Holy Spirit to untangle them.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Well, we've seen Jesus work through a storm - calming it to the amazement of the disciples; seen his earthly parents frantically searching for him like lost luggage when they left him at the temple in Jerusalem at age twelve - I bet they didn't know how to check text messages back then either; and now your presentation of him dealing with tangled Christmas lights. He fixes our mess and even replaces the bulbs as needed. But I've always been fond of remembering how he gathered the children around him and taught the disciples - not the children - how they needed to be childlike to enter the Kingdom. This is still my favorite barometer, as I can tell a lot about people in the way they respond to OTHER people's children.

PHOENIX — Teenagers are smoking less synthetic marijuana and may be smoking more real pot, a drug prevention group said.
The National Institutes of Health surveyed thousands of students nationwide and found about 8 percent of high school seniors used some type of synthetic marijuana this year, a drop from the 11 percent in 2012.
"What you have here is a huge shift in attitude because the kids see the dangers of using 'K2' or 'Spice,'" said Shelly Mowery with Prevention Works Arizona.
Mowery said what teenagers don't see is the danger of marijuana. She laid the blame for that on Arizona's approval of medical marijuana and the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington.
"This is sending the message to kids that marijuana is socially acceptable and it must not be risky not that it has been legalized in two states."
The NIH study backs up Mowery. It also found that teenage perceptions of the dangers of marijuana use continued to decline. In 1993, more than 60 percent of high school seniors considered marijuana dangerous, while this year less than 40 percent thought that.
Mowery said more than 30 percent of Arizona's teens have smoked pot while only 10 percent have tried synthetic marijuana.

A Cook County referendum showing overwhelming support for legalizing marijuana has given a push to the movement to allow recreational use of the drug statewide, but opponents object that it wasn't a fair vote.
Hear what the bill sponsors are saying about regulating marijuana in Illinois
"Marijuana prohibition is a quagmire that creates far more problems than it prevents. Regulating marijuana and removing the criminal element from marijuana production and sales will make our communities safer."
"Right now, all the money being spent on marijuana is going into the pockets of criminals and cartels. In a regulated system, the money would go into the cash registers of licensed, taxpaying businesses. Prohibition is a financial hole in the ground, and we should stop throwing taxpayer dollars into it."

Spoilers! Spoilers if you watch Doctor Who! Spoilers!
I was disappointed with the series finale last night. So disappointed that I had to write a blog post about it. How they wiggled out of the Doctor dying was very literally a deus ex machina move, and... I expected more. There was always going to be a twist, but it felt very contrived and sloppy.
The biggest disappointment for me, though, was River Song. River has been a mystery since the Library episodes, the more so because she's such a great character. Amy is the Hot Sidekick (I mean, she's a great character, but she'd be a different one if she spoke the same lines while overweight with bad skin), but River is sexy without being a slim twenty-something - more than that, she's seductive, rather than just standing there bein' sexy. She's confident and clever and strong. She does her own saving the day, and has her own adventures, and is a match for the Doctor. The probably-love-story arc is compelling too, because the more you see of her character the more tragic it becomes that they're moving in opposite directions, and she has get older knowing that he's going to forget her and their presumed love. (It's kind of like The Time Traveller's Wife, but with characters and a plot.) I thought her rapid turn-around in Let's Kill Hitler was a little clunky, but I could forgive it since they were pressed for time. I didn't like that in The Wedding of River Song she was in love with the Doctor after one meeting and a few years of research. It's entirely uncharacteristic with strong, self-sufficient River. And the marriage for the sake of saving the world, when he still doesn't know her, and she doesn't know him at all... It wasn't the grand romance they'd been building up to.
After a little over two seasons, and who is River Song? She's a kid with a crush. Hopefully the next season has the older version of her, rather than the moony-eyed one.
I did like Amy killing Kovarian though. One of my main complaints in the second half of the season is that Amy and Rory didn't seem too fussed about having lost their baby. They always knew she grew up to be River, and it was treated as though it was somehow alright after Let's Kill Hitler because they had grown up alongside her (did she get fostered? Do not understand.) when none of that changed the fact that their baby had been stolen from them. I understand that to be the kind of thing to which parents don't take kindly, and that storyline just vanished.
That said, I can respect a man who can spend a whole season building up to a pun.
EDIT: Another thing I liked: "Die a final time, and know that she will never return for you." Oh yes she will.

Two weeks in New Zealand is not nearly enough, but it's a start.
We departed on the long journey to Wellington on May 7th. As funny as it sounds to recall the famous movie it really did involve Planes, Trains and Automobiles. We drove to catch our favorite commuter train, the South Shore Line, in Michigan City and departed at Millennium Station. We caught a great Greek lunch at Roti and then headed down to the Washington Station to board the CTA Blue Line to O'Hare. While waiting to board the train we met Dave Russell, a cool drummer who showed Anya how to play the bongos.
The flight from Chicago to LA was nothing compared to what came next. From LA to Auckland, NZ, the flight is more than 13 hours! Fortunately, Air New Zealand is wonderful. Great stock of new release movies makes the journey seem shorter and the food is excellent. Dinner and breakfast both had touches of homemade quality, such as almond cake for dessert. Flying to NZ you cross the international dateline, so it is in fact tomorrow there, 16 hours later to be exact. No wonder they say that New Zealand is place to be if you want to see the sun rise before anyone else in the world.
Imagine our bleary-eyed surprise when we were greeted by a representative of the Fundraising Institute of New Zealand (FINZ) upon arrival at the Auckland airport. FINZ was the association sponsoring John's visit to Wellington. We were so pleased to be greeted a Kia ora (a greeting used by the the native Maori) by the FINZ Fellow, or a senior member of the organization, and be bid a good short one hour journey to Wellington, New Zealand's capital and the site of the FINZ conference where John was to speak.
Being in NZ a few days before the conference, we grabbed a rental car and drove an hour to the north to the Kapiti (pronounced KAP-i-tee) Coast, which is noted for its fine beaches. We wound up staying in the Paraparaumu Beach at the Lindale Lodge. It was obviously "low" season at the lodge since we were the only tenants, except for the many cows and sheep which we enjoyed visiting in a nearby pasture. Lindale also has some lovely tourist shops. John located a store with many different types of honey, and also a cheese shop. If you have never had New Zealand cheese before, you are missing something. The stuff is of the amazing, creamy buttery variety which you do not quickly forget. In town, there are also many lovely shops including a fish and chips place. Being bourgeouis Americans we did not realize that tomato sauce (ketchup) did not automatically come with the chips/fries but it was not a major inconvenience. The fish was fresh and downright heavenly.
Just to north of Lindale is Wainkanae Beach, where we found a cool bird preserve called Nga Manu (na MAH-nu) which is Maori for The Birds. Nga Manu was the first, and only place where we saw the famed Kiwi bird. Because the Kiwi are nocturnal, unless you are really quick or lucky you will not likely see one unless you are at animal facility with blacklights like Nga Manu. We were lucky to have arrived just before feeding time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and let Anya assist in feeding our feathered friends.
After our journey through Nga Manu, we found there to be little commerce in Waikanae Beach, save for the The Drift Cafe. This inviting and homey restaurant features amazing gourmet dishes (John had the prawns–exquisite) in a cozy setting that includes a fireplace, a couch and lounging chairs. After this repast we roamed the beautiful beach area which is filled with gorgeous sea shells and many other interesting finds.
After the trip to Kapiti, it was time for John to get back to Wellington for the conference. Gretchen and Anya were there only momentarily though before departing north along the eastern coast toward the noted architectural city of Napier. Gretchen had read about Napier as a child and fulfilled a "life long dream" in reaching the city. I can offer little narration regarding the trip, but they did return with a some cool photos.

Antoinette Pienaar and Wilhelm de SwardtPretoria – The banned substance methylhexaneamine, for which two Springbok rugby players tested positive, is apparently freely available in South African pharmacies.Beeld on Tuesday saw at least three supplements which are apparently used especially by bodybuilders before training sessions, in Dis-chem pharmacies. They cost between about R390 and R550 per container.Ron Read, trade manager at Bolus, which distributed the supplement Jack 3d locally, said they warned professional athletes not to use the product as it contained methylhexaneamine."For anyone else who wants to use it as part of their gym programme, it is completely legal," he said.Evox's Muscle Punch 3DT and BSN's Endoburn also contain the stimulant. Dean Becker from Evox said they sponsored athletes but would never recommend that a player took a banned substance.Professor Andy Gray, a pharmacologist at the University of KwaZulu-Natal said on Tuesday he had never heard of methylhexaneamine until the recent series of incidents where players tested positive for it. He also didn't know of local medicines that contained the substance.Methylhexaneamine is a component in oil belonging to geraniums.New Zealand at one stage considered scheduling the product as it was misused as a "party drug". Since 2009, it has featured on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) list of banned substances.Chris Hattingh of the Institute for Drug-free Sport has been warning athletes for some time to be careful when choosing supplements as there are no rules to regulate their import and manufacture."Many of the supplements are of dubious origins.""It sometimes happens that supplements are made in the same factories as banned substances like steroids and growth hormones."Due to poor controls some supplements could be tainted by banned substances.Hattingh said methylhexaneamine would from next year be reclassified as a specified substance on the list of banned substances.This meant that athletes who used it still ran the risk of being suspended for two years.But if they could prove that they hadn't taken the substance to deliver better performances, it could be a mitigating factor.Hattingh said the institute had received many requests from companies to certify their supplements."We don't do it, simply because there is no quality control. There is also no legal requirement for manufacturers to do quality control."
So is it flu treatment or supplements causing the two players to test positive? Chiliboy has had 2 tests this year and they were negative but just before the autumn internationals he decides to take such a supplement without knowing of the banned substance? I am sure that every single pro rugby player in South Africa no doubt the world has it drummed into them not to risk taking such supplements because of such risks.
There are cases where companies have intentionally put steroids into such supplements at the start of selling a particular product so that users continue to buy it and later they remove the steroids in the product. It is a very dodgy area and I no doubt trust that there was no intent from the players. Who knows what will happen next?
I regularly use nasal sprays and flu cures. This article prompted me to check out the active ingredients of the type I currently use. MOMETASONE FUROATE. God alone knows what that is. The point is that I do not usually read what the chemical make-up of the medications are. The whole issue of the nasal spray seems to be a red herring. My spray contents is 18g @ 140 metered spray doses. The question is: How much of the banned substance, methylhexaneamine, must be used to produce any worthwhile effects. Bear in mind that the sprays are carried by an aqueous solution of benzalkonium chloride, in my case, plus a preservative. The implication here, of course, is to indicate that huge amounts of nasal spray must be used to gain a significant advantage.
The slightest bit of it is enough. The positive test detected the substance and any amount of it is enough to cause suspicion.
Lilian - what's strange? Selection for testing is always random. Two people who spend a lot of time in each others company happening to have flu at the same or similar times. What's strange about that?
@ Azurite
I am not disputing what is enough to test positive. I would like to know, then, what is enough to produce the desired effects or performance if you will. Do we really believe these two guys took the stuff to fight a snotty nose? Maybe Div will fall for that. Besides as I stated earlier A huge amount of nasal spray must be literally consumed to induce improved performance. If these guys had the sniffles or the flu why were they on the field in the first place. After all the spray must have been taken within 36hrs at most prior to the test.
@ Zion
The bottle should say how many mg/ug of active are contained per active dose. Many drugs are effective at very low doses (i.e. microgram or even nanogram level 0.00000X - 0.00000000X grams) and as its nasal it will be absorbed directly into the blood stream so completely bypasses the stomach and liver which could break it down. If the spray bottle recommends on one spray then that is a therapeutic dose and it is delivering sufficient drug to have a biological effect. So I doubt that huge amounts would need to be taken to have an effect, a couple of sprays that is going directly to the bloodstream is enough (look at asthma pumps- one puff is enough to open your airways up and give you a performance edge and your standard pump contains 200 metered doses).
Andrew's comment about nasal spray going straight to the bloodstream and thus avoiding the stomach and liver isn't correct. Sure, it avoids the stomach but all blood goes through the liver so it can detoxify the blood. Chemicals absorbed through nasal sprays go through the liver too. I would love to know what the concentration of the drug in the bloodstream was. Also, supplements don't always report ingredients and their concentration in supplements varies widely from can to can even of the same product. Lots of herbal products don't list active chemical ingredients, just the herb. So "geranium oil" might be listed but not this drug which is contained in the oil. The fact that this chemical is a non-prescription decongestant and if the concentration is within therapeutic dosage, and the athlete requires decongestants for cold/flu/allergies then shouldn't be considered a "banned" substance. Sometimes the authorities go overboard and this might be one of those times.
Thanks AndrewG, Where did you say I can get the stuff and what is its trade name - the nasal spray that is?
Methylhexaneamine only came onto the WADA's list in 2010. The list was issued end of 2009.
Why would sponsors promote supplements with banned substances?Surely young sportsment see the name EVOX sponsoring big events and players and then buy their products with the perception its safe. Then you get a Johan Goosen and a Bjorn Basson tested positive for drugs.
It's not a drug, it's a banned stimulant. It's only banned by WADA not by South African law. Go read the article properly before making comments.
Supacabana, you seem extremely ignorant. Stimulants are drugs and its the connotation that is made with the term that sells the articles "Bjorn and Chili tested positive for drugs". Go read the Tim Noakes article: "Drug disappears fast". Do a google search and you will find that stimulants ARE drugs. Coffee is a drug. Don't be so quick to judge. Do you know what WADA stands for? Do you know its only banned in terms of COmpetitive Sport? I've read the article but luckily my research goes further than a single person's view. I advise you to do the same.
hahaha, supacabana, you got caned there... lol
For a positive test result an amount far in excess of the prescribed dosage must be used
PErhaps for a positive result but they were adverse analytical findings which is the case when the mere presence is found.
I beg to disagree. Today's testing methods and protocols are sufficiently refined to detect very small concentrations of any substance. These tests are molecule specific in most cases and that makes the process very sensitive and accurate.
Even small amounts taken have a good chance of being detected.
They did not take any other supplements except that which their team mates at their provinces and fellow Bok team mates took. Thus one has to speculate that either the flu treatment they received or food they ate caused this positive test. The real threat is that it could be that the whole Bok team are taking it unknowingly!
Or maybe the whole team would have tested positive had they all been tested. BUt the Bok team has banned all supplements for now and I believe with the 24-36 hour detectability they should all be clear by now.
Amr Super Clever AZURITE - See This Article - READ, READ, READ the contents of anything you digest !!!
i use evox punch 3dt, and there is no warning that it continues questionable ingrediants but anyway i'm not a proffesional sportsman.
btw i find it suspect that bryan habana "broke" a bone - i'm thinking he might have also tested positive, or is afraid of testing positive also...conspiracy, lol
Hmmmm...I wonder who's gonna get tested this week...?
All banned substances are found in SA,just go to Hillbrow hahaha

Los Angeles, Feb 3,2015 (Agency)
Singer Taylor Swift will not be performing at Sunday's Grammy Awards as she is too busy focussing on her '1989' World Tour.
"Since my whole life is wrapped up and entangled in the planning of the '1989' World Tour right now, I'm not going to be performing on the Grammys this year. I need this time to focus only on the tour," she shared on microblogging platform Tumblr Monday, reports eonline.com.
However, while Swift may not be singing any of her hits on the Grammy stage, she guarantees plenty of dancing in the aisles at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, where the awards ceremony will be held Feb 8.
"I'm really excited to be nominated for three Grammys this year and even more excited that I'll be there having a dance party/rage fest in the audience. I will also be presenting the award for Best New Artist (sic)," she shared with fans on micro-blogging website Twitter.
"I hope I'll see you out there at one of the stadiums this summer having a rage fest of your own!" she concluded.
It was in November 2014 that Swift had announced her '1989' tour that kicks off in Louisiana this May. The show will hit North America and Europe before heading to Australia in December. Just last weekend, the "Blank Space" singer announced that LA pop rock band Haim would be joining the show on select dates as special guest.
"The girls and I got to talking and I'm overjoyed to announce that @HAIMtheband will be joining The 1989 World Tour!! TOURING W/ SQUAD YESSSS (sic)," she had tweeted.

The Public Works Department and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have jointly launched a project on promoting building safety for disaster risk reduction in the public buildings of Bangladesh.The project was launched at an event held with Additional Chief Engineer (P & SP) of Public Works Department Ainul Farhad in the chair at a city hotel on Saturday.
Vice-Chancellor of University of Asia Pacific Prof Jamilur Reza Choudhury, joint secretary of Housing and Public Works ministry Rahmat Ullah Mohd Dastagir and Chief Representative of JICA Bangladesh Office, Mikio Hataeda were present.
The number of risky buildings in Bangladesh is growing fast because of rapid and unplanned urbanisation and sub-standard construction.
Even without earthquake, the collapse of Rana Plaza, a ready-made garment factory in April 2013 that killed at least 1,135 people is one of the living examples of sub-standard construction of building in the country.
