Overseas watch: Vermaak shines
Springbok scrum-half Jano Vermaak was the hero for Toulouse as he scored a crucial try in Saturday's top-of-the-table clash against Toulon in the Top 14.
With the clubs level at the summit of the standings at kick-off, the match was the highlight of the French rugby weekend as Toulouse came back from 12-0 down at half time to win 13-12.
Former Sharks playmaker Frederic Michalak kicked four penalties in the first half as European champions Toulon benefited from the considerable wind behind their backs at the Stade Ernest-Wallon.
But a try from Vermaak in the second period swung the result in Toulouse's favour, as they saw-off a Toulon outfit that was missing several leading names including Bakkies Botha and Matt Giteau.
Former Bok stalwart Juan Smith did however start a game for the first time in three years as he wore number eight while former Sharks hooker Craig Burden made his Toulon debut. Gurthro Steenkamp started for Toulouse while Chiliboy Ralepelle and Schalk Ferreira both appeared off the hosts' bench.
Jonny Wilkinson had the opportunity to win the game for Toulon but uncharacteristically missed two late penalties.
Springbok fly-half Morne Steyn made his debut for Stade Français, coming off the bench to kick a late penalty in his side's 16-12 loss to Racing Métro in the Parisian derby at the Stade de France.
Ex-Stormers full-back Joe Pieterse's club, Biarritz, were the big losers of Round 10 after being thrashed 39-0 by Castres. The Basques are stone-last and look set for relegation as they are already 12 points short of safety.
Over in England, Springbok flank Francois Louw helped Bath to a 15-13 home victory over Gloucester in the West Country derby with young fly-half George Ford kicking all of the hosts' points at the Rec.
The weekend did not go as well for Schalk Brits and Saracens as they lost 41-20 to Northampton, who cut Sarries' lead in the Premiership standings to a single point as a result. Bath are third, another four points behind Saints.
The other big result of the English weekend saw Ashley Johnson's London Wasps beat Leicester Tigers 22-12 on Sunday.
In the Pro12, ex-Cheetahs prop WP Nel's 74th-minute try secured a 20-13 victory for Edinburgh against Italian opponents Treviso at Murrayfield while Bok scrum-half Ruan Pienaar and veteran lock Johann Muller helped Ulster run in five tries to defeat Cardiff Blues 39-21.

The LTD Transition Snowboard is a slick little board that fits well for any entry level rider looking to get started on some freestyle action. Boasting a full menu of LTD technology, this is a smooth riding board that will make for forgiving landings and easy control. The VersaFlex Full Wood Core makes for a great responsive and smooth ride, while the Triaxial fiberglass provides a level of stability and strength, along with durability. Overall, the Transition is a great freestyle board for any young rider looking to vastly improve.
I will agree with others who have said it isnt that flexible. It is more of a fast and stable board for a beginner. I started on this board and it lasted me a few seasons before I upgraded to a Capita. It was awesome to learn on!
This board holds up pretty well, but isn't meant for parks. Its inability to flex well, makes its hard to ride boxes and rails. It also chips pretty easily if you knick the edge of a rail. It does however carve pretty smooth and is an excellent board for a beginner. I ended up selling it to my friend who wanted to start riding, and he loves it. Overall, this board isn't exactly for someone intermediate but is excellent for a beginner.
Its holding up well, a lot better than what I expected for the price, I've taken mine off jumps and boxes without problems, I just wish it would flex more. The good news is that its nice and wide, my 159 fit my size 13 boot easily. All in all, a solid beginner board.

Nice, different recipe. Didn't have broccoli, so substituted all cauliflower; doubled green pepper and cucumber, too, as didn't have watercress or celery. Dressing's a nice flavor but not too strong.
Cauliflower-and-Broccoflower Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette
Becky Luigart-Stayner
In the summer I make this salad with raw vegetables, but for a winter dinner, I prefer them lightly steamed. Also, healthful crucifers like cauliflower and broccoflower are in high season right now.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup salad and 1 egg wedge)

The Blues Brothers (1980)

The Blues Brothers isn't a story but a show which uses farce as a platform for the music. The storyline provides opportunities for the performers. Jake finally sees the light when he and his brother are sent to church and experiences a stirring performance of soul from the minister. This film has always been short-changed by the critics who insist that it's a comedy rather than a musical. People enjoy the show. more than the story. It's also quite original.

This is your lucky day because I am going to give you some great advice (if I may say so). Trust no one on what is funny. Trust no critic, no friend or lover. Comedy brings forth a physiological reaction, which is why "theories" of comedy are useless. Comedy doesn't function on a purely intellectual level. Go see every movie you might possibly think is funny, and just don't mind walking out if you think it's hopelessly unfunny. This is about you and nobody else, not even a majority of movie goers.

The 1980 Janet Maslin review of The Blues Brothers would have it
that the director was over the top with too many cuts and various
extraneous excesses. Cut to a comparison with the films of the
90's and 00's: The Blues Brothers is a well constructed and well
tempered comedic-musical fugue compared to any 21st Century CGI junk.
— Stein, Boston
August 4th, 20099:18 pm
Another meta review: Ms. Maslin apparently
don't like no music and she don't like ta laugh.
"The Blues Brothers" does , yes, have some excesses, but in spite of that it is more masterpiece than mistake. Worth it just for
the Cab Calloway reprise of his famous hit.

One gets the feeling that this reviewer is unhappy with life and is a divorcee living with numerous cats.
If I were the editor of the Times' review section, I would have asked that this archived review of a masterful movie be erased.

This movie is outstanding: first of all for the music. It's got Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin getting "Respect." The soundtrack pulses and it sets the mood and pace for the whole movie. I thought I'd gone to Heaven when the two stars met their grade school nun and principal, 'The Penguin.' They do find redemption in one of the best gospel and dance scenes in the movies, ever, and James Brown is the Minister at the Triple Rock Church.
If you like to laugh, you want to see Princess Lea covered in mud, find every excuse for being late to your wedding saved in one place for eternity: this is your movie.

Day 5: Favorite episode of Season 1.
Big Time Audition. The very first episode. My favorite episode, no doubt. This is where it all began, it's where they started their journey to becoming a boy band and NOT 4 hockey players. Their whole lives changed in this one episode. I re-watch this episode, and I laugh at their auditions and their silly dancing. I cried when Kendall gave the inspiring speech at the end then they came back to Gustavo, and I was smiling like an idiot when they sang Big Time Rush and Griffin accepted them. DEFINETLY the best episode of Season 1.

Dating in your 40s. Ain't it a bitch? If you're not sure why it's a bitch, let me count the ways. First of all, dating just generally kind of sucks. For every one halfway decent person you meet, you meet 10 weirdos, flakes, sex maniacs, or just plain old people you don't gel with. But in your 40s, it gets much, much worse. For one, men in their 40s suddenly decide you are too old for them. Yes, you go your whole life dating men who are your age, give or take a year or two, and suddenly, boom! The only guys who want you are in their 50s or 60s -- or 20s. I suppose it has something to do with those barely-working ovaries. Or maybe it's Hollywood. Thanks to men like George Clooney, Bruce Willis, and Nic Cage, men have become accustomed to seeing guys in their 50s banging chicks in their early 30s. They just naturally think this applies to them too.
So then you get these emails from dudes on online dating sites who are 10 years older than you -- who probably don't want kids since they are sending your barely-working ovaries an email -- and if you take a look at their age range, the vast majority of them want a woman 5, 10, even 15 years younger than themselves! For WHAT, I ask? Unless your concern is kids, what right have you, Mr. 55-year-old, to cut off the age range you are looking for at 45? (By the way, none of these dudes even remotely resemble George Clooney.)
So I have begun age-shaming these men. Yes, someone has to do it, it might as well be me. They are age-shaming me by their age range -- or at least, age-shaming womankind in general -- so I must stand up for femalehood everywhere and age-shame them back.
To the 56-year-old man who wrote me who was seeking women 40-49. "Hello, thanks for your email, but I prefer men who are also willing to date women their own age." No response.
To the 58-year-old man who was looking for women 35-45: "Wow! You are 58-years-old and willing to date women 13 years younger than yourself! How magnanimous!" He actually wrote back and said: "Oh, I didn't notice that. That was supposed to be 50. Thanks." So he's willing to go eight years younger, how nice.
To the 48-year-old man who wants a woman 28-44. 28!!! In his profile, he freely admits to "knocking a few years off" his age for "screening purposes" and then says that is not because of age but because of his "young lifestyle." I wrote asking him what "young lifestyle" a 48-year-old man (or however old he really is) was capable that he thought a 48-year-old woman wouldn't be capable of. No answer yet!
Yes, I'm well aware this is probably not going to make these men suddenly want to date a woman their own age. But if it makes them think for even half a second, then I've done my job.
Now I will answer that email from the 29-year-old, thanks very much!
Does age hypocrisy in dating bother you? Have you ever called anyone out?

I have no idea what men find attractive about having a girlfriend who just attended her senior prom last month. I married my college sweetheart, and she "gets" me. I don't have to explain any references I make to older TV shows or movies, because she's my contemporary in age and has seen them or at least heard of them, as well. Why on earth would anyone, male or female, choose someone as a life mate that they have to finish raising? With someone your own age, you have that economy of communication that comes with shared experiences. You don't have to keep telling him or her "You kind of had to be there."
There is an old man in Kentucky that refers to Taylor Swift as his girlfriend, and swears that Carrie Underwood was previously his fiance. He is near 50 and constantly talks to Taylor on twitter saying she should stay a virgin for their wedding night, and how she will bear him 4 children. It absolutely sickens me that he sets his sights on incredibly young women, some of them even younger than his oldest son, but then to also set his sight on celebrities and freak out when they don't respond to his marriage proposals.
I wish someone could actually age shame him considering his family seems to ignore his crazy posts on twitter and facebook.
There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want in a partner and actually being honest about it. It's not like these people tricked you or are obligated to be interested in you.
If they were a douchebag about their preferences or shaming you for your age, that's one thing, but it doesn't sound like these guys did anything.
I am nearly 40 and I love it... I have been on a dating site a few times and I, too, specify an age range that I'm willing to deal with... and for me, I prefer younger. My man is 31... old enough to not act like a 12 year old in a grown man's body and old enough to have his shit together, but not old enough to want to get married tomorrow and expect me to be his trophy housewife. In other words, perfect.
Everyone has a preference, and I appreciate up-front honesty. In my ad, I specified no one over 40. It's just me... and that's the way I like it :)

On Thursday September 30, The Anchor sat down with Southwest Principal Dr. Smith to discuss why Southwest enrolled many more students that expected this year.
In the beginning of last year's school year, the Minneapolis Board of Education sat down and created the Changing School Options plan. This new initiative, which was voted on unanimously, was designed to cut transportation costs as well as redistribute students. The CSO plan split the school district into three distinct school attendance zones, each with two high schools: Zone one with Edison and Henry (North is a specialty school*), zone two with South and Roosevelt, and zone three with Southwest and Washburn.
Within each zone each high school is assigned its own districts in whose resident students have first priority to that school. Second priority is given to students from the rest of the zone. Southwest is assigned the districts 3A, 3B, 3E, and 3G, and also draws second priority students from Washburn's districts 3C, 3D, 3F, and 3H.
Although the main reason for these changes was to reduce busing expenses, the CSO was also designed to redistribute students amongst the high schools.
"The district wants the larger schools like us [Southwest] and South to be smaller, and the smaller schools like Washburn and Roosevelt to grow bigger" summarized Dr. Smith.
This however, as Dr. Smith went on to explain, was based off of old statistics on where people went when they had free citywide choice. These predictions did not account for the students from Windom, who previously went to Washburn, but after the changes were included in district 3G with Southwest as their priority school.
Another major contributing factor to the unexpected number of students at southwest was that of the returning students who choose to take the city bus system to get to Southwest rather than receive free transportation by going to another school. Although the district did predict that many students would choose this path, they did not predict the large amount that chose to use this option. According to Dr. Smith, there are over two hundred students currently using public buses to get to and from Southwest.
These students along with the iffy predictions of the school district led to a larger enrollment than expected. The district predicted and budgeted for 1690 students at Southwest this year, with 400 freshmen, but instead Southwest wound up with nearly 1800 students and 460 freshmen.
Dr. Smith dispels the rumors that the Newsweek article that praised Southwest is the cause of the extra students as wishful students, and that in the cases of students that transferred from private schools to Southwest, the economy was most likely to largest contributing factor in those decisions.
Dr. Smith maintains a school blog that discusses school events and the school district has a full description of the zoning system. Links below.
http://southwestcatchthewave.blogspot.com/ http://highschoolchoice.mpls.k12.mn.us/Attendance_Area_Boundaries408.html
*Specialty schools offer a citywide program that is available to students from all zones. South has the All Nations and Open programs, and North offers the IB Diploma and Certificate programs as well as the Summatech program.

From the Publisher"Some say Google makes us stupid. Others say it should make us worry. Google and the Culture of Search makes us both smarter and more worried about Google's monopoly powers. As Hillis et al. show, Google's lineage runs less to General Motors than to a long line of mathematicians and metaphysicians who wanted to organize the world's information—never before has the strange beast of Google been so clearly put into its proper family tree.

ASSE's Greater Chicago Chapter Receives Medium Chapter of the Year Award
American Society of Safety Engineers News
Protecting people, property and the environment since 1911
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) is proud to announce that the Greater Chicago Chapter has been awarded the Medium Chapter of the Year Award. The Greater Chicago Chapter is a chapter of the year award winner for the third year in a row and was named the small chapter of the year in 2007 and medium chapter of the year in 2009. The Greater Chicago Chapter will be honored with the award at the annual ASSE Professional Development Conference (PDC) in Chicago, IL, June 12 – June 15, 2011.
Since its inception in 1950, the Greater Chicago Chapter has significantly contributed to the mission of ASSE and has grown its membership during the last 61 years. With over 300 members and a commitment to protecting people, property and the environment, the Greater Chicago Chapter is continuously contributing to the field. The chapter is working locally to develop greening industry safety standards, a "Breakfast with OSHA" series geared toward small businesses in struggling neighborhoods and a graduate student mentoring program with the chapter's University of Illinois at Chicago student section. The chapter also organizes community events such as food drives and continues to be an active force in the Northern Illinois area. At 'Safety 2010,' in Baltimore, MD, the chapter manned ASSE's 100th Anniversary booth at its record-breaking exposition, working tirelessly to help spread the message about the milestone year for the Society and encourage participation from conference attendees.

We have a passion for the safety profession and what we do, whether at home, on the job, or as volunteers. Not that long ago, we were falling apart at the seams, but we persevered, grew our membership and through hard work and dedication we arrived at the point we are today. Thank you for this great honor."
All chapters who wish to be considered for the chapter of the year awards must be nominated by their ASSE Regional Vice President and are chosen based on their activities, application and information provided to the judging committee. To be nominated, all chapters must first earn a Chapter Star. The Chapter Stars Recognition Program is intended to recognize Chapters that give their members superior service by providing quality programs designed to advance the professional growth of their members, support the mission and vision of ASSE and make a positive impact on the people, property and environment in their community.
Founded in 1911 and celebrating its centennial, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the oldest professional safety society and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 33,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members lead, manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor, healthcare and education.

By Patrick McCallister
For Hometown News
Larry Curran has the Bahamas on his mind, but he wishes he didn't.
Volusia is a business-friendly county, but the more a company has, the more help it can get in economic assistance from local governments, Mr. Curran said.
"The way incentives are set up, they're to get businesses to move, not to support those that are set up," he said. "I would love to walk to work (from my Ormond Beach home), but if we have to set up a plant in Freeport, Bahamas, and it's better than here, I'd be crazy to not set up there."
Mr. Curran owns Choose Rain, an upstart water bottler at 1230 N. U.S. 1, Suite 16, in Ormond Beach. He said Volusia County and its cities have few economic incentives that can benefit startup companies like his. So after putting about $160,000 of investors' and his dollars into starting Choose Rain in Volusia, he's thinking about moving to another county or offshore. One of his investors, Les McCall, is a citizen of the United Kingdom. He told Mr. Curran about business incentives in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. The island nation off Florida's southeast coast had a severe unemployment spike in recent years and is doing much to attract manufactures.
"They're offering us (vacant) buildings," Mr. Curran said. "They're talking about deeding buildings to us after five years of continuous employment growth."
The Department of Statistics of the Bahamas reports that in 2009 the country hit a 14.2 percent unemployment rate. That dropped to 13.7 by 2011. The nation does an annual, rather than monthly, unemployment report and hasn't released 2012's figures.
Joe Mannarino, Ormond Beach's economic development director, said he'd like Choose Rain to stay in his city. The best help his department can give local startup companies is guidance, not grants or loans that some would like, he said.
"The fact is 85 percent of (startup businesses) fail in the first year," Mr. Mannarino said. "Local government is not equipped to help with financing to help a local business. It's too risky."
He's spent much time with Mr. Curran to help the 65-year-old launch his business. Among other things, Mr. Mannarino said, he introduced him to local bankers, the Small Business Development Center at Daytona State College and Volusia County's Economic Development Department. That got the ball rolling for Mr. Curran to enter the University of Central Florida's Business Incubator at Daytona Beach International Airport, 601 Innovation Way.
"Having a business incubator, being in it, is an incentive," Rob Ehrhardt, the county's economic development manager, said. "That's an incentive available to businesses locally."
He said that while most startup companies fail within a few years, those in the UCF incubator programs are far more likely to succeed.
Mr. Ehrhardt said new entrepreneurs often haven't learned the skills needed to market their companies to investors and customers alike. Programs such as the Small Business Development Center and business incubator teach those skills and can sometimes help startup companies tap into private grant and loan programs.
Mr. Curran said the business incubator and other programs have helped him understand the dynamics of starting and growing a business, which is why he's upset about the prospect of relocating his bottling facility.
However, he said that as an upstart he's watching the county and cities offer a plethora of state and local business incentives to larger companies to get them to relocate, or stay in the area. Those incentives usually involve performance-based tax abatements.
His company could get some of those incentives, too. If it were large enough. It's not yet. Choose Rain rented a 12,700 square-foot manufacturing facility in Ormond Beach and got the water rights to the roof. Mr. Curran said the company can capture about 2.2 million gallons of rainwater to filter and put it into biodegradable bottles. When things are going full steam ahead, he believes Choose Rain will employ 35 to 50 and bring in about $16 million a year.
Mr. Curran hopes that city and county officials will consider startup-business grant programs in addition to giving advice.
"I do not know how I'd recommend a structure," he said. "It could be it could be (by getting a voter approved) quarter percent of an optional sales tax. I do appreciate the fact the government has been squeezed in this recession."
Mr. Mannarino said he's tried duplicating a loan-pool program he had experience with in Quinsy, Mass., and was successful in getting startup businesses the capital they needed to grow. He said several banks combined money to share risks on new companies. The owners had to go through business-education programs to qualify.
"I thought it would have been a great thing here, but it never got traction," he said. "We couldn't get local banks to come together and provide that service."

Lovely little wine this one. You know, when the world throws you lemons it's quite nice sometimes just to keep them. Here's a baby wine, baby price that most retailers would look at, pass on and buy something more expensive. The label, in classic Italian fashion, doesn't really tell you anything. The name, granted, and Rosso Piceno. That's it. What the hell is rosso piceno? – sounds like a red swimming pool. If you know a thing or two about wine then you might understand the label. Piceno is the largest AOC of the Marche region of central, coastal Italy. By regulation the wine must be 65% sangiovese – after that you can throw pretty much anything else you like into it. I guess the rosso is indicative that this is red wine – not chardonnay!
I drank it in the evening whilst prepping a really delicious 3 meat Bolognese. I like having a wine from the country whose food I am cooking. Spag Bog needs an Italian wine. I had the Fattoria laying around so out popped the cork. I love remembering why I bought the wine for the store in the first place. The wine is rich without being OTT. Lots of good red and black fruit, nothing damaging, no high acidity, no flawed flavors, just pure wine. Color was garnet and clear, aromas were sweet nothing excessive, and the flavor really easy.
You can't drink heavy wine every night, sometimes not at all, and I get so much more excited over drinking a cheapy like this when everything, including the price, comes together. Loved it, loved the Spag Bog.

Almond Meringues
The secret to perfectly crisp meringue cookies is to prepare them on a dry day and resist opening the oven door to peek at the cookies. Moisture in the atmosphere and the slightest escape of heat from the oven may cause the cookies to be sticky.
