Dancing on the Edge of the Roof (Paperback)
At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement–if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.
Juanita's new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess's stove serving up home cookin' that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin' through, now has a job by popular demand.
Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita's heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She's happy in Paper Moon; she's found a home, but can she stay? And then there's Jess. She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.

About the Author
KEN CAMPBELL was born in Sudbury, Ont., attended Carleton University's School of Journalism and soon found his calling as a sportswriter. Over the past two decades, Campbell has covered all levels of the game from minor hockey to the Stanley Cup final. Last year, he co-authored The Top 60 Since 1967, a ranking of the best hockey players of the NHL's post-expansion era.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
3. Doug Harvey
Heroic and Tragic
Born: Dec. 19, 1924, Montreal
Died: Dec. 26, 1989
Habs Career: 1947-1961
6 Stanley Cups, 9 first-team all-stars, 1 second-team all-star, 6 Norris Trophies
76-371-447, 1042 PIM in 890 games
The Hockey Hall of Fame still has two artifacts that are a testament to Doug Harvey's brilliance and his penchant for thumbing his nose at the establishment.
The first is a handwritten note from Harvey's wife Ursula, politely informing the Hall of Fame Harvey had not budged on his decision to refuse his induction in 1973.
The other is the Hall of Fame ring all members receive upon induction, a bauble Harvey never bothered to pick up because he never acknowledged he was in the Hall in the first place. Despite his objections, the Hall inducted him anyway.
It certainly wasn't because he didn't belong there, at least for his on-ice exploits. Harvey was the best defenseman of his era and, depending upon who is offering the opinion, the best of all-time. A superior first-passer and wonderful skater, Harvey could also excel in defensive lockdown or an back-alley brawl. There was no style of play in which Harvey was not confident and comfortable.
Many players can claim greatness, but precious few can be remembered for changing the landscape of the game. Harvey's game was so predicated on attacking that he opened the gap between defensemen and forwards and made his team a lethal offensive threat. His passing and rushing strengths, not to mention his ability to get back into defensive position when he did wander, stretched the ice for the Canadiens and allowed their talented forwards to devote more of their efforts to creating offense.
"He would always say, 'It's easier for you guys to skate without the puck than with the puck,'" recalled former teammate and close friend Dickie Moore. "He'd say, 'Give it to me and I'll give it back to you."
Former teammate Billy Reay once said that, "When Doug put a pass on your stick, it was like a feather."
A native of Montreal who as a child delivered newspapers to Canadiens goaltending great Bill Durnan, Harvey won the Norris Trophy seven of the first nine years the award was presented, and was runner-up for it the first year it was awarded. He remains the only player in NHL history to win the Norris with two teams and was a first-team all-star for 10 of 11 seasons starting in 1951-52.
But Harvey could be as belligerent as he was brilliant. He often frustrated coaches and GMs with his attitude and work ethic and his involvement in the early days of the NHL Players' Association earned him a one-way ticket out of Montreal in 1961. Harvey was more than happy to shake hands after a playoff series if the Canadiens won, but would never do it if they lost.
"We were winning all the time, so that didn't happen too often," Moore recalled.
But Harvey was also seen by those who knew him best as a fiercely loyal friend who had a kind heart and a soft spot, particularly for those who most needed help.
"People like to talk about his drinking episodes, but he was an ordinary man. He cared for people who were ordinary," Moore said. "If you needed help, he would be there. When I lost my son (in a car accident in 1973), he was on the doorstep waiting for me at 6:30 in the morning. I came from identifying my son and he was there."
But as brilliant as Harvey was on the ice and as gregarious as he was off, he had an enormous tragic flaw. His drinking often overshadowed his accomplishments. He never apologized for his vices, once telling a reporter, "When they drop this body into the ground, it won't rot for a long time. It's full of alcohol. It's got its own embalming fluid."
After being sent to the Rangers for Lou Fontinator in 1961, Harvey bounced around the NHL and the minors before retiring for good following a stint with the St. Louis Blues in 1969. The Canadiens won four more Stanley Cups from the time Harvey left to the time he retired and there are teammates who will tell you he should have been there for all of them and retired a Canadien.
But it was not to be. The Canadiens demanded a certain comportment both on and off the ice and Harvey simply was not the kind of personality to be restricted by such things.
"There always seemed to be two sides to Doug's life," Jean Beliveau said in 1986. "He was one of the greats of the game, always will be, but there is that tragic side."
Harvey was bypassed for induction into the Hall of Fame in 1972, three years after he retired, and a large part of the reason was his drinking. When Harvey learned of his fate, former Canadiens GM Frank Selke, who was also on the selection committee, told Harvey: "I can get you in next year, Doug, but you've got to help me."
Harvey took it as such a slap in the face that he refused to be included among the inductees in 1973, saying he was going on a fishing trip the day of the gala. He was also upset the Hall took so long to induct former Maple Leafs great Busher Jackson, who also fell on very hard times because of his drinking habits. Jackson retired in 1944, but wasn't inducted until 1971.
"What they're telling me is that they won't put me in because I'm not averse to sampling the nectar of the gods now and then," Harvey said in 1972. "The difference is that I'll hoist a few in full view of everyone where other guys will sneak around the corner to do theirs."
Harvey's drinking became more prominent as his life progressed to the point where the were reports he was destitute and living in a boxcar near the Connaught Race Track in Ottawa. The car was actually a luxury car with all the amenities and Harvey was doing security at the track. The Canadiens took him back into the fold as a scout until he died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1989 at the age of 65.
"A lot of people, the team, tried to help," Rocket Richard told a reporter when Harvey died. "Most times, he wouldn't listen. He would do things his way. Everyone tried to put him on the right path, but there was nothing to be done."

Comments about tarte Amazonian clay full coverage airbrush foundation, fair-light honey, .24 oz:
I've been searching for a replacement to the bare minerals matte foundation, I have combination skin with a prominently oily t-zone so for me matte powder performance is big selling point. This foundation has met everyone of my needs and more. I am so happy with how well it works for me!
The foundation is set up to be very user friendly, and despite being a powder formulation it's not messy like others often tend to be. The container is a sturdy plastic tin/pot with a small mesh insert in the center. The idea is to use your kabuki brush, or whatever brush you choose and apply pressure to the mesh insert this pressure pulls the powder up and loads your brush with the perfect amount of foundation to apply to your face. This design is ingenious and seriously makes application a breeze.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the staying power of this powder is amazing with or without primer. I was able to go well into the evening hours after applying in the early morning with no touch up required with a Tarte Primer, and I went today without using a primer at all and I'm pleased to say that even now I have only had to touch up once. I would suggest this to anyone looking for a great all natural, powder formulation and would highly recommend it for oily/combination skin types!

Whether you have a lot of cabinetry or a little, an island in a contrasting color adds interest to any kitchen.
A cherry-wood island contrasts the gray-green outer cabinets with ease. The traditional lines of the cabinetry is offset with modern stainless-steel appliances, minimalist stools, and stacked stone around the window.
A red-orange island makes a big impact in this white kitchen. Cool blue stools add a fun contrast to the bold island. Don't be afraid to create strong contrast between the island and its surroundings.
The cool green island offsets the warm tones on the handmade backsplash tiles. Open storage, a beverage fridge, and an additional sink help this island work hard and look great.
This crisp white outer cabinets contrast with the warm-wood, white-washed island. The contrast is subtle, but it's just enough to anchor this airy kitchen.
This blue island is perfect for this beach kitchen. The rest of the room remains neutral so the bright ocean-blue island can take center stage. Lots of chrome and stainless steel add a modern industrial edge.
Give you kitchen cabinets a quick clean with these tips.
Texture rules this kitchen. The stained-wood island showcases knots and grain of the wood, adding warmth to the deep blue outer cabinets. A plank of matching wood above the range ties the room together.
Add instant warmth to a white kitchen with a wooden island. Here, wood tones team up with the warmth of exposted brick and a paneled wall for a custom look that contrasts with the sleek white cabinets, lighting and stools.
A stainless-steel chef's worktable is converted to a modern, industrial-look kitchen island. The lower shelf is perfect for keeping pots, pans and pantry items within easy reach.
Tucked at the back of the house, bright color cabinets get a cool dose of gray in the island. In this small kitchen the oversized island provides tons of space for prep and casual dining.
Even in a kitchen with a petite footprint, a bold backsplash doesn't overwhelm, it makes a statement. A simple table continues the high-contrast color palette and doubles as an island for prep and casual dining area for two.
Traditional cabinets stand out against the robin's egg blue island. The dark countertop material ties in the rest of the house's wood floor.
The finish on the island is similar to the finish on the cabinetry, but is more natural, while the perimeter cabinets boast a glazed finish. The long run of open storage below creates the perfect place to store the cook's most used items.
This island stands out because of its contrasting color and intricate, old-world detailing. To offset the rest of the kitchen's creamy yellow finishes, the ends of this island feature an almost-black stain.
Make your kitchen island stand out by choosing a wood tone that contrasts with that of your cabinetry. Then tie the room together with a range hood clad in the same wood.
White-washed boards on the back of this island give the kitchen a cottage look. Here, the white island offers a clean and subtle departure from wood cabinets and paneled walls. The same paneling on the walls behind open shelves ties it all together.
To keep this white kitchen from feeling too traditional, a painted black island adds depth and unexpected glamour. Slabs of marble on the exteior cabinets and the island tie the room together.
Kids and guests can pull up a seat to this bar-height island and be part of the action. The green color contrasts the rich wood cabinetry in this traditional kitchen.

hey guys,
I have setup in windows2003 server VPN service is enabled. My buddy also has This OS.
We setupa VPN to each other. setup RIP on my cisco router and win2k3 server to advertise to vpn route back.
SO my buddy can ping my xbox and I can ping his, therefore the routing is 100%. we can see each other. I can also ftp from pc to his xbox and vice versa..but cannot use xbftp to xbox
But my question is why is it that when we launch a game the xbox'es cannot see each toher?
HAs anyone tried system link over a vpn.. maybe tell me a how-to or link to it.
I know we ca use gamespy and xboxgateway but this is just to test and have fun. yes vpn uses more bandwith for nothing..
any tips appreciated

I'm assuming that you and your friend have different LAN addresses. In other words your LAN address (e.g., 172.16.100.0) is on a different network than your friend's (e.g., 192.168.0.0). If that's true I don't think that the XBOX OS is capable of routing. In other words the System Link feature assumes that both XBOXes are on the same LAN with the same subnet. This is my guess, if anyone can clarify that would be great, I'm curious about this myself.
P.S., yes a VPN can use more bandwith depending on your encryption scheme but it's not for nothing.

you can try changing your LAN addresses on your PCs so that they end up being on the same network. For example, 192.168.0.1 for one PC and 192.168.0.2 for the other. Are you using DHCP to give your XBOX an IP? If you are, make sure you and your friend's XBOX aren't assigned the same address.

Have you ever tried xbconnect? It even supports chat. You would both also need pc's.

Product Description
As the star of Alias, Garner has proven that she can kick butt with the best of them, and some of the visual effects are impressive, but the action sequences tend to be anticlimactic, and there's not much to the story. Fans will notice numerous references to Frank Miller's comic books, but there's very little resemblance to Miller's cold-blooded killer (Elektra with an agent? Elektra referring to herself as a "soccer mom"?).
Is Elektra better than Daredevil? Not really, even with the distinct advantage of having all Garner and no Ben Affleck. That could be the spinoff's greatest disappointment: after Spider-Man 2 raised the bar for comic-book movies, Elektra lowered it back to Daredevil's level. Directed by Rob Bowman (the X-Files movie), and featuring Terence Stamp as the mysterious mentor Stick, Will Yun Lee (Die Another Day) as the chief villain, and NFL-player-turned-mixed-martial-arts-champion Bob Sapp as the immovable Stone.
DVD features
Ben Affleck's much-rumored cameo is one of the deleted scenes on the Elektra DVD. It's a one-minute throwaway, and while he's supposedly appearing as Matt Murdock (who romanced Elektra in Daredevil), the barrage of celebrity gossip makes it impossible to see him as anything other than Jennifer Garner's real-life boyfriend. There's also a making-of featurette, which is mostly promotional hype other than a few interesting effects shots; four editing featurettes; and Jennifer Garner's videotaped message to ComicCon. --David Horiuchi

Brief Synopsis
Because the national interest is the foundation for both the National Security Strategy and its supporting National Military Strategy, it is essential that military leaders understand the political context from which the details of the national interest emerge. The guiding concept of national interest is more often assumed than analyzed in the dynamic context of domestic and international politics. For these reasons, Dr. Michael Roskin, Visiting Professor of Foreign Policy, was asked to synthesize the academic literature, focusing on those works that had greatest value and relevance to members of the national security community who must apply as well as serve the national interest.

This makes reference to Table 4, in which one of the columns is titled, "Had to work in small town to secure position."During my many years of organizational activity in Minnesota, the only significant difference that I could perceive between small town physicians and metropolitan physicians is their individual preferences for small town living or metropolitan area living. We at the University of Minnesota Duluth School of Medicine are proud of our widely acclaimed national record of educating physicians interested in small town practice. Those graduates have been of superb caliber and have had national examination scores

Mother Hummingbird designs and builds her nest.
Click on title.
Everywhere in nature there are females creating, nurturing, protecting, tending to the life of the next generation. Every unique creature on this planet comes into being through the creative power of the female of the species. She tends the hearth, prepares the food, rocks the cradle, makes certain there is water and wood. Chop wood, carry water is woman's work around the world. Backs are bent, heads are bowed, teeth are lost, all in a days work. The male is the consort, the helpmate unto the Goddess of the hearth. It has been so since the beginning when evolution began designing the species that were to come. Here is just one example of the work in nature of the mother hummingbird making a home for her offspring.
Care is Like Water
Care is Like Water My work with care has spanned half a century. Care is essential to life on the planet. If we can begin to appreciate and be inspired by how care works in support of life, then perhaps we will listen to the wisdom of those who care for us and learn how to care for Our Mother, Earth.

Caring Choices
I wrote the lyrics to a song yet to be written after I heard a TED type talk by Stephan Schwartz author of the Schwartz Report blog. Please consider doing what is asked of you here and help us spread the word.
A one, a two, a one, two, three, four
You have to admit things aren't looking so good
For the people, the nations, and old mother earth. (rest)
People are fighting, Children are dying,
Far away and near, even in our neighborhood.
This is the one thing I'm gonna do now
I promise you, you can do it to.
Every time you have a choice to make
Choose the option that you, (rest) know in your heart is
The very best action of the two.
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to change our hearts
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to change the world
All day long we're making our choices
Every day we have so much to do.
One option's always better than the other, choose
The most life affirming compassionate action
(rest) you (rest) can (rest) do.
Text your friends, tell your family,
share it on facebook, take it to work
make it a habit, make it an earworm,
Playing in your mind, it will change your heart.
Tell em,
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to change the world
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to save Mother Earth
It will spread like wild fire, person to person
Changing our minds, lifting our hearts.
We can change the consciousness of enough people
To take peaceful action and change the world.
Tell em,
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to change the world
Choose life affirming compassionate action
That's how were going to save Mother Earth
Tell em,
Choose life affirming compassionate action
Choose life affirming compassionate action
Choose life affirming compassionate action
Choose life affirming compassionate action

How Wilma Learned to Walk
|Wilma at the Parade
When I first heard of Wilma's life long relationship with Chinook Lands, I had what could only be described as a moment of sheer grace. She had given so much to this place that had been a healing place for so many, she deserved care now when she needed it most. My heart responded and I agreed to help Wilma during the day to stay in her home. What followed was a miracle.
The first time I met Wilma, she was holding court in her Brookhaven Apartment. Wilma had just learned that she was no longer able to be cared for by Island Home Nursing, the local agency providing aides. Because she couldn't stand and the bathroom was too small for her wheelchair. If she couldn't find someone who would care for her, she would have to go to Careage. That meant leaving Langley. Wilma was grieving.
I became Wilma's caregiver and personal trainer. I new that if Wilma was to stay in her apartment she had to regain her mobility. It would take more motivation and effort than training for a triathalon. That's what I told Wilma.
Wilma loved her community so much and wanted to stay close to them so much that she gave it everything she had. In the beginning she ran me ragged. I went to her house 5 to 6 times a day; 3 or 4 of those I were in response to a phone call. That got old really fast. Over the next two years Wilma and I worked together; every day I would stand her up, 5, seconds, 10 seconds, then for longer periods. After a few months we went to physical therapy. When she ran out of medicare, we went to the a gym where we attended an exercise class for people with limited energy three days a week. After much coaxing from me, one day Wilma stood with my help. When she took a step away from the chair, the whole class cheered; then 2 steps, then 3. A couple of months later, she walked along holding the handrail; she was terrified that she would fall but she eventually walked the whole length of the room. Weeks passed. We practiced walking around her apartment. Next she walked around the room holding my arm. A good friend came and remodeled her bathroom, we put poles by her chair, the toilet and the bed, and in the end, Wilma was getting out of her chair by herself, out of bed by herself, transferring into her wheelchair, standing up, putting her clothes on by herself, back to her chair and into her recliner. All of this, Wilma did because all she wanted was to stay here in Langley, with her friends, her family, her community. Her community kept her involved with the Church and with Whidbey Institute. They scheduled a visit a day and Wilma loved those visits. On Tuesdays we would go to the community lunch in the complex where she lived; on Thursdays Jeff took her to the local soup kitchen for lunch. There came the day when Wilma was ready to go back to the agency that stopped her care because she was too much for their staff. Now she wasn't; and I was worn out. She couldn't go to exercises any more because she needed someone to accompany her; that was not a service provided by the agency. It wasn't long after that when she fell and broke her arm and finally moved to Careage, a skilled nursing facility. Still her friends made sure she had a ride to church and came back to the community for special events. When she went to the Careage she was ready; there she was happily loved and cared for until the day she died.
Her community never left her heart. Wilma is the hero in this tale, I had no choice, the call was so strong I had to answer it.
Twenty years earlier, in 1987 I began my dissertation research on nursing home care. The first person I interviewed was a patient named Bill. When I asked my first question. What do people who care for people do for them, Bill burst into tears. "Not enough" was his answer. He had had a stroke. Medicare had just stopped his physical therapy because they said he was no longer making progress. I knew better.
Bill haunted me for those 20 years. No one listened to Bill. They said his tears were a side effect of his stroke. He knew he could do more. Wilma confirmed what I had believed with my whole heart, that with a village of support and motivation, progress doesn't stop after six weeks. Love will move a mountain, and give a gracious gal the strength of a lion. Amazing Grace really does happens.

Jesus didn't die to save us.
|Raffaello Sanzio - The Agony in the Garden
Last night I had a dream when Jesus came to me
Why was it meant to be? In the garden his agony.
He said,
The day before I died, I was in agony
I cried out father, Oh God, Father;
take this chalice away from me,
Why was it meant to be this agony?
in the garden, in the garden I was in agony.
Lift this dark cloud off of me, Father I can't bear it;
Take this shroud away from me, Father I can't wear it,
Not my will but thine, I said, and by the morning I was dead.
Could the death of a son of god have been a suicide by cop?
When Soldiers came I didn't hide,
It was by their hand this Jesus died.
They say I'm Jesus the Nazarene,
Of the Jews, I am the king.
All my friends were sleeping,
In the garden I was weeping.
Just a decade in the rosary, my agony,
it wasn't meant to be. This agony.
You make a hero out of me,
you worship me, adore me,
You pray to me to save you by his amazing grace.
All the time forgetting that the price glory
Is to bear the pain of all the human race.
I'm not the only son of god, perhaps the first but not the last.
They say the good die young, they must, to let this chalice pass.
Many hearts are broken now, many lives touched by the blast,
First the anger, then the bargain, then acceptance comes at last.
They don't deserve to die
these brilliant stars in our night sky.
When the concert is over, the sermon is done,
the heart may lie empty, absent the sun.
He was a kind, a gentle soul,
and he loved all children so.
Let them come to me, he said,
I will give them wine and bread.
He cured the blind; he healed the lame;
and he took on our human shame
Did he have a motive? He was in agony
Did he have a plan? Sure, They'll hang him on a tree.
He gave them opportunity, to kill him when only thirty-three.
They say, I'm Jesus the Nazarene, Of the Jews, I am the king.
It's part of their make up, these brilliant night stars,
their lives like beacons, that flame out in the dark.
When the concert is over, the sermon is done,
the heart may lie empty, absent the sun.
What if their friends had stayed awake,
What if they saw what is at stake
They didn't know they were part of his plan,
their guilt and shame, came when they ran.
Jesus lived to love and show us; They didn't kill him just to save us;
The concert was over, the sermon was done, the heart it lay empty, absent the sun.
We'll never know what might have been, had a friend been there for him.
RIP Robin Williams 8/11/2014
Monday, August 11, 2014
Today Robin Williams, took his life. Last month, a young woman well loved by many left behind a loving partner and daughter, her pain too great to bear. Last year the husband of my dearest friend took his life after a long chronic condition left him with intractable pain and vomiting. I wrote this piece with the intention of setting it to music. However, I feel moved to post it here. It speaks to pain and grief of those who suffer and of those who would do anything to lift their pain from the hearts. In my life, the love of my life was caught in the trance that would have ended in suicide had she not told me her intention. It is only Grace that she is here with me today, to stand together by the waterfall.
So alone, so all alone. Wound in your soul, a black hole.
black magic, its tragic, a dark spell is cast, holding you fast.
Feeling you slide into the dark night of the soul
I stay by your side, day after day,
Your pain weighs on me like a lode stone.
All my love can't heal your pain
Your sorrow has become my shame
My hand can't hold your sorrow.
Your sorrow has become my shame
Your pain weighs on me like a lode stone
Here's what I need to tell you;
I cannot take your chalice, from you.
my joy can't fill your cup
I pray that you can give it up,
Let the wind touch your face, feel the grass where you stand
For I can never hold your sorrow in my hand
Look to the mountain high and strong; look to the valley green
And pray for the day when we will lie down by a quiet stream
Pour your pain into the river, float on the river down to the sea,
Bless you child, let the cool of the river wash your pain away,
Rolling rolling down stream to the sea.
Sweeping the pain away, Feeling your pain slipping away.
Let the wind touch your face, feel the grass where you stand
For I could never hold your sorrow in my hand
Look to the river cool and clear look to the aspen tall
I Pray for the day when we will stand tall by the waterfall.
One minute of your joy will fill me up, Pour your joy into my cup,
I want to hear you laugh again,
Sing your songs of hope again, just for a few minutes each day.

As stated below in Kelly's piece. 2nd row. 2nd dude.
I enjoyed Jen's article and found it interesting when she talked about the fact that it's impressive that Lawrimore can attract 150 people to an opening of a show there, which would be impressive for a museum. (Jen's words, not mine).
I curate art shows for QArts at the Seattle LGBT Center. In both April and October, when we had large group shows, (The Virgin Show and Vampire Pixies in Uranus, respectively) we were able to lure in 100 patrons for each show,(the smaller shows range from 35 to 65).
I'm both a little bitter that no one pays much attention to us, primarily because we can't afford paid advertising which means most media outlets ignore you, AND a little pleased with myself that a no name arts group is able to pull in some apparently decent numbers.
Now, if I could just lure in some people with MONEY who can afford to buy some of the art.
yah 150 people at an opening is not really a lot. jen is all over lawrimore's ass and anyone he thinks is mildly interesting.
I thought the piece captured Lawrimore's game nicely. Good work, Ms. Graves!
is it me or does the whole Jen Graves/Susie Lee thing seem really incestuous?
She has her tongue up any female artists ass in this city...
It's not just Susie Lee, though she is an amazing artist. It's Scott, ever since the space opened Jen has been all up on him. Seriously, get a room will ya?
What other gallery has done anything even half as bold or exciting as Lawrimore in the past year?
Scott, Susie, Cris Bruch, etc. get rave reviews from Jen and other art critics because of their output. Go down there and see it for yourself.
@8 - There are a lot of galleries in Seattle that put on shows that are at least as bold and interesting (if not more) than the exhibits at Lawrimore, including Punch, SOIL, Platform, 4Culture, to name a few. Lawrimore has the advantage of getting a lot of attention in the local press which just makes it seem as if more is going on there.
The Virgin Show and Vampire Pixies in Uranus--wow those sound really cool! Do they include some contemplative insight into the human condition or advance critical discourse in arenas of art history, objects, or economies? If so, i am certain that patrons will contribute, right?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Los Angeles Clippers refused to let a third chance to knock the Memphis Grizzlies out of the playoffs slip away.
Kenyon Martin scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with an 82-72 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 7 on Sunday.
"That's why it's seven games," Martin said. "If you don't do it before, you get another chance. So they did what they had to do, they came and stole home court back on our floor. ... We had a chance to close it out. We knew we let it go, an opportunity get away."
The Clippers blew an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter Friday night. So Martin huddled the Clippers together at the start of the fourth quarter Sunday, and the veteran led the bench in outscoring the Grizzlies 25-16. Chris Paul had the only bucket by a starter in the final 12 minutes, and the Clippers' bench outscored the Memphis reserves 41-11 overall.
"Our bench was our MVP," Clippers guard Randy Foye said. "They realized what they had to do. We had a lot of guys hurt, so we just continued to grind."
Now, the Clippers have their third postseason series win in 41 years and their second since relocating to Los Angeles. They last beat Denver in 2006. The Clippers also avoided becoming the ninth NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series in moving on to play the top-seeded Spurs starting Tuesday night in San Antonio.
"I want the guys to enjoy this, and then we'll regroup tomorrow and focus in on that," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "But obviously another big challenge for us."
Paul scored 19 points despite playing with a strained right hip flexor. Nick Young had nine of his 13 off the bench in the fourth as the Clippers finished off the series with their biggest margin of victory. Paul was so confident of victory he bought plane tickets for his wife and son to San Antonio on Saturday.
"I felt like we should have won earlier," Paul said. "But it doesn't matter. As long as you win, I think it is a step in the right direction for our franchise.
Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol each had 19 for Memphis, which lost a Game 7 at Oklahoma City a year ago in the second round of the playoffs. Zach Randolph had a game-high 12 rebounds.
"Unfortunately, no one on the bench stepped up and helped us," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said.
The Clippers, who trailed 56-55 after three quarters, took control by opening the fourth with an 11-2 run started by a jumper by Martin. He tipped in a shot for a 66-58 lead with 8:41 left. Mo Williams matched the Clippers' biggest lead to that point at 10 with a 3-pointer pushing it to 71-61 with 7:04 left in a 16-5 spurt to open the quarter.
"They hit shots in a hurry," Gay said of the Clippers. "They made plays off our turnovers, and they just converted, something we weren't doing at that time."
Los Angeles finished off the win by hitting 9 of 10 free throws in the final 3:26. The Clippers also managed to outrebound the Grizzlies 46-44 for only the second time this series.
Memphis got away from the inside-out approach that won the last two games. The Grizzlies outscored the Clippers 36-24, but Randolph said they took far too many jumpers instead of feeding the ball to Gasol and himself.
"You have to take your hats off to them because they played good," Randolph said of the Clippers. Chris had a good game, and their bench played terrific."
The home-court advantage that didn't help the Grizzlies when they blew a 27-point lead in Game 1 didn't help again Sunday as they went cold from the floor. Gasol's one-handed dunk with 3:09 left was Memphis' last field goal down the stretch as the Grizzlies hit only 4 of 18 in the fourth quarter and finished the game missing all 13 3-pointers.

Home show features products to help you save money
Published: Friday, February 12, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 11:28 a.m.
If you are looking to remodel, renovate or decorate, you might find some ideas at the Bayou Home Show this month.
The two-day event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Feb. 20 and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.
"We've been doing this show for 25 years, but this is our first time in Houma," said Jerry D'Eramo, event coordinator. "It is a great chance for the general public to see remodeling products, as well as products for the inside and outside of their homes. In this current economy, it is a great venue to find good pricing in a comfortable atmosphere that is not in your home or at the dealer's place of business."
Organizers said the February show will feature two themes: economic savings and ways to be "green." The Bayou Home Show will feature a Houma-based company that offers a product that increases energy savings for its
James Chaisson of Global Energy said their company is looking forward to participating in the two-day show.
"We have a green product that helps consumers by cutting utility bills from 25 percent to 40 percent," he said. "The great thing is it is an American-made product that has been used in the space program and at local facilities such as BP, Halliburton and in local hospitals and homes. It is designed to insulate the home or attic to save utility costs in the winter and the summer."
Organizers said the show offers prospective customers a chance to see a diversity of products and services in one venue.
"It is a great place to shop and compare products being offered to fill the homeowner's needs," D'Eramo said. "It is also a great way to help the local economy as we have a lot of local vendors in one area. It is a great family-oriented event."
The show showcases the latest in kitchen and bath products, including cabinets, countertops and appliances. Outdoor products available for view will include a selection of spas, pools, decks, buildings and gazebos.
Additionally, energy-saving products from special building materials to solar panels will be on display.
Contractors will be available to discuss plans for building new additions or remodeling projects.
Dozens of products seen on the Shopping Networks ranging from kitchen gadgets to the latest in health products will be sold at discounted prices. The show also plans to have a variety of cooking shows, live demonstrations, drawings, prizes and giveaways.
Children under 12 are admitted for free.
For information about the show, call 1-800-776-4220.

As I resume a role as a contributor to the Roane County News, I find myself reflecting on how future observers might view this year's unusual political developments.
David and Mildred Webb were honored at Saturday's Polk Salad Festival in Harriman.
State Rep. Kent Calfee and state Sen. Ken Yager read and presented the couple with a proclamation from the Tennessee General Assembly.
Harriman City Councilman Lonnie Wright also read a proclamation from Harriman Mayor Chris Mason, which declared June 11 David and Mildred Webb Day.
"We appreciate all the attention, all the awards and all that good stuff," David Webb said. "Sure do."
Harriman Police Chief Randy Heidle is accused of a long list of misconduct, ranging from ill treatment of employees to using city-owned property in personal vehicles.
One accusation is that he or a strawman purchased a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice that was worked on by a mechanic while it was on the GovDeals.com auction website.
He is also accused of taking a console from Harriman police storage and putting it on his personal Dodge Charger he later sold.
Heidle remained on leave with pay as of Tuesday morning.
A stalemate over a perimeter fence at Tiger Haven could be on the verge of a conclusion.
The Roane County Commission approved a resolution Monday that calls for Tiger Haven to obtain a building permit for the fence and not expand the housing of big cats onto other parcels.
In exchange, the county agrees to not sue Tiger Haven over the fence and acknowledge that the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is the proper authority for inspecting the fence.
Flag Day was celebrated at Victorian Square Tuesday morning, when Rockwood Boy Scout Troop 106 retired the old flag at the facility and replaced it with a new one.
"We did this in honor of Flag Day," said Victorian Square marketing director Saundra Bandy.
"We had a family here that donated a new flag. It was very nice of them."
The flag was donated in the memory of Hubert Hill.
From staff reports
A Cumberland County woman was flown to a Knoxville hospital by Lifestar after being struck by a motorcycle in Rockwood Saturday.
The pedestrian, identified as Rachel Murphy, 67, was attempting to cross the street at 803 S. Gateway Ave. when she was struck.
Her present condition was not known at press time.
The condition and identity of the motorcycle rider was also unknown.
A Kingston man is accused of pulling his truck up alongside a woman and grabbing her purse out of her shopping cart.
Justin P. Wright, 26, 108 Roane Manor Drive, Kingston, is charged with theft of property $1,000 to $9,999, fraudulent use of credit or debit card and robbery in the June 8 incident, said Rockwood Officer Brandon Smith.
Sandra Boles told officers a white male pulled up beside her in the Walmart parking lot and grabbed her purse while she was unloading her groceries. The victim said she also grabbed her purse but lost her grip as he drove away.
Harriman Police Chief Randy Heidle has retired, according to Harriman City Attorney Allison Rehn.
Heidle faced a series of allegations outlined in an anonymous letter sent to city officials last week.
Rehn wrote in a letter issued Tuesday afternoon that Heidle's attorney said the retirement decision was based on the tense workplace environment created by the recent allegations.

As a young kid growing up in the area, most have dreamed about contributing to the athletic teams at the University of Tennessee, and a small town boy from Harriman is doing just that.
Evan Ford, a 2013 graduate of Harriman High School, just completed his junior year at the University of Tennessee.
He has been making a huge impact for the athletic department since before he was even a freshman on campus.
An aspect of sports that people love, but may not exactly know where it comes from, is the work which comes directly from the University of Tennessee Media Relations Department, where a Roane County native has a huge role in its work.
Josh Lively, who graduated from Harriman High School in 2013, has been playing a huge role with the department since his time began on Rocky Top.
Lively's title is Sports Information Director for women's tennis. Lively covers the team on several social media platforms and on UTsports.com.

My Stormer XL mod. I thought the original was not worthy of the XL moniquer so I wanted to beef him up and upgrade his weapons.
So here it is.
I reworked the torso and filled it in a bit. the leg assembly is Rocka XL's with a few pieces to add bulkness.
I call his gun the Chaos Blaster. I think the name fairly suitable. It has over 70 pieces. It's totally nuts and epic.
His sword has a lot of Bionicle pieces as you can see, Hope you enjoy.

4563 Load and Haul Instructions Needed
Posted 08 December 2012 - 08:17 PM
Apparently, two versions of this train were released: one with part #2924 and one with #2924b.
All of the instructions I can on find Peeron & etc are for the version I don't have. Mine has part #2924b.
Someone must be in the same boat as me, or can help me with this. I need to know how to build the train's engine when it comes time to start putting the windows and doors on.
Help please, and happy holidays!

Anyway the difference is only apparent when building either 4563 or 4551 - and is easy to rectify. There was only ever one mould in green.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 02:24 PM
It's strange as both sets were released in 1991, there must be a good reason why they choose to make 2 molds? rather than just add a 1 x 4 brick?

Posted 09 December 2012 - 07:00 PM
So the part with the 4x3 opening was from circa 1991-92... and the part with the 4x2 opening dates to circa 1992-2006. Note: Peeron is incorrect with regards to the green part of the 2006 dated 7898 train... here's an image from Bricklink of the green part... and the opening is NOT 3 bricks tall...
The switch from a larger opening to a smaller opening involved some other parts being needed for the set.... if you scroll down to the bottom of this Bricklink parts page, and look at the "Alternate Parts" at the bottom... all the red and white parts listed are involved with this 2924 part redesign.:
Early versions of the 2 sets had the 3 brick tall opening... and just the regular instructions. Later after the part was redesigned to only a 2 brick tall opening, TLG likely continued to ship out the original earlier instructions, and just sent along a supplemental sheet to show the part change and the building instruction changes that went along with it.
Here's the original build instructions...
And once the part was redesigned, here's the supplemental sheet with changed instructions (note also there is only 1 white plate)...
Why TLG redesigned this piece? No clue... They sometimes made changes for no known (to us) reason....

Camp Broadway, Ages 10 – 17
New York City: July 11 – 15, 2016
Tuition: $1,295
Camp Broadway's Original Summer Program enables theater-loving kids, ages 10-17, to develop their confidence, character and presentation skills through ensemble performance. Our staff will immerse your child in an authentic Broadway rehearsal process that allows all campers to be successful regardless of experience level. Inspired by Broadway's cherished works and steeped in its grand traditions, Camp Broadway is designed to build confidence, inspire creative expression, and instill well-being in both aspiring artists and future audiences.
The package includes:
- 5 days (40 hours) of instruction in singing, acting, and dancing by trained Broadway professionals (8:30AM-5:00PM) daily
- Master classes with Broadway artists
- Q&A Sessions with industry professionals
- Backstage seminar with a production crew

Theater Outing:
On the Wednesday, July 13, campers will attend the matinee of School of Rock on Broadway. Following the performance, campers will be treated to an exclusive post-show talk back with cast members from the show.
Based on the hit film, SCHOOL OF ROCK follows Dewey Finn (ALEX BRIGHTMAN in what The Hollywood Reporter calls "a hilarious, star-making performance"). A failed, wannabe rock star, Dewey decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
Featuring 14 new songs from ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER and all the original songs from the movie, SCHOOL OF ROCK is a full-throttle tribute to the power of music. The Huffington Post raves, "ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S NEW MUSICAL BLOWS THE ROOF OFF THE THEATER!" and Time Out New York cheers, "SCHOOL's in – FOREVER!"

Released: Sep 01st, 2004
Running Time: 90
Director: Jordan Heart
Company: Smash Pictures
Cast: Mya Diamond, Jasmin (I), Dorina (I), Nick Lang, Amanda (I), Frank Gun, Mandy Bright, James Brossman, Jennifer (II), Jennifer (I), Bruno (I), Lauro Glotto, Judy White, Nikky Blond
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Still a reliable European line.
The petite Nikky Blond and an unidentified brunette team up for this edition's best scene, a pussy and ass reaming threeway with James Brossman. There is also a g/g in which we hear two European stunners speak English in a sexy accent before a good scene. But the latest from Smash's longest running line is bogged down by missed shots and setups that linger too long. For instance, in the opener featuring a hot brunette, we don't see the initial penetration shot or the anal for that matter. Former AVN Foreign Performer of the Year Mandy Bright performs with Frank Gun, and it ends with a d.p. on another girl that is not identified.

When Tim came home from his Thursday meetings today, I handed him one of these date truffles, and he told me to get my coat, and the two of us headed to Bella Nashville for a pizza date, which is where we'd agreed to work on our book-mapping. We're so close to turning our manuscript in, with just a few final steps left, and sometimes the difference between one of those steps feeling laborious and one of those steps feeling celebratory is as basic as a Neapolitan-style pizza topped with turnip greens, eaten just as the farmer's market's winding down. If there's nothing else I remember at the end of this book-writing process, I hope it's that. While we were out, we got talking about the site's new design (hey guys, we have a new site design!) and the kind comments we were receiving on Facebook about it and especially about my friend Kendall's comment about how far the site's come since the early days. I love thinking about the early days, especially when I can contrast them with the … [Read more...]

Every spring, when the ground brings new life and the trees turn every shade of green, I think of Julius. Julius and I met in grad school. He wore silver-rimmed spectacles, ironed business shirts and dress pants and a neatly trimmed reddish-brown beard that was quickly going gray. He came to class with his work I.D. still on his shirt pocket and a bag or briefcase carrying his books and papers in his hand. When he spoke, you'd hear an accent, betraying the Eastern European setting from which he'd come, but, he told me, he and his wife had lived in America quite a while. The first class we took together was a Travel Writing course. It was a workshop class, meaning we'd turn in copies of our assignments to each other and then discuss them, as a class, together. I'd write short, sweet pieces about places like the Wisconsin Northwoods; he'd write long, flowering tales about dining with locals in Morocco. One October, walking from the fluorescent lights and metal chairs of … [Read more...]
Einkorn Cannoli Cupcakes
When I was a kid, my parents would dart around the house in the final moments before company arrived, lighting candles, cleaning bathrooms, setting appetizers out just right. You could feel the energy in the air in those almost-game-time minutes---a sort of nervous, happy energy---something greater than the sound of my mom's boom box playing its background harps or violins. When the doorbell rang, my dad would rush to the door, opening it proudly, beaming, welcoming guests inside as he took their coats and greeted them, motioning my brother and me to come say hi. Then, my mom would emerge from the kitchen, winded but obviously delighted at whatever was in her hands, prompting oohs and ahs and questions from the ones who'd been invited to come. Each one meal and its accompanying conversation would take two or three---maybe four or five with particularly talkative friends---hours before dishes were being cleared and the food getting wrapped up and people's coats being pulled back out to … [Read more...]

OK. Next time I say I want to make bread pudding, taken from some random Web site I've never heard of before, just so I can use up my loaf of bread that hardened two days after I bought it? Stop me. If you do, I might be able to write a better post than this one, in which I will just tell you that, Yes, I did in fact spend a disproportionate amount of time tonight caramelizing sugar and softening bread cubes to layer with a creamy custard in a tube pan that would then, tragically, leak all over and around the oven liner, meaning not only that the bread pudding was a disaster but so was the kitchen and myself. And, Yes, also, after I did all this, I would still head up to my computer, flicking on its glowing screen and gentle humming sound, just because, even at almost 11 PM, I'd know I'd planned to sit down and write something interesting about the dark chocolate truffles I made for Carrie's and Alicia's birthday presents, and, by gosh, that stupid bread pudding wasn't going … [Read more...]

Morning, and the kitchen is quiet, with sunlight streaming across the sink and onto the wood floors, and I pour coffee, grab my lunch, take my keys from the little basket by the door. There will be 20 minutes at least, between me and the office, along expressways of commuters, and I will look at them, talking on their phones, singing with their radios, glancing at their watches, before I park and walk inside, up stairs to my desk, to begin the work day, to talk with my coworkers and double-check spellings at Merriam-Webster and watch the geese fly past my window and onto the roof. 5:30, and I'm getting in my car, like I've done so many times, and I'm stopping by the train station, like I do every day, and I'm walking in my front door, and I'm eating dinner, again.

for a loud-laughing, card-playing caterer, on her 95th
I'm not going to tell you I miss her. That's what everyone says. I'm just going to tell you I think about her sometimes, like each year when I smell my first fresh spring lilac, heady with sweetness like the big bushes in her backyard that she'd pick from to make corsages on Mothers' Day; in summer, when the tomato plants grow big, their leaves overwhelming the wiring around them and huge, red fruits forming on the branches; at night, when I can't fall asleep, and I watch the shadows from the windows dance across the wall, just the way they did in Grandma's room, when we slept with the window open, a street light's beam extending across her ceiling. I also think about my grandma on days like today, her birthday. If she had lived, she would have been 95. And I think about her, mostly, when I bake. After her husband died at the age of 50, Grandma was left alone, with one daughter, in a brown brick bungalow with a shaded back porch and a fenced backyard, a few miles from her four … [Read more...]

Json Data Store Questions
I am attempting my first extJS applications so this is basically a learning project. I have attached a file containing a short example where I want to load a listview from a json data store. The listview is rendered by without showing any rows. It does correctly call the url and data is returned. So I have the following questions:
1) How should the params object be configured that is passed to the store load() method?
2) Are the name/value a pairs in the params object just turned into query string parameters
3) Do I required a callback function to load the listview or is that done automatically? If it is not done automatically how should it be done?
10 Nov 2009 1:48 PM #2
Your code looks ok. I think the only problem is in the width you specified for the columns, 0.2 and 0.3 doesn't make sense. Rather try 100, 200.
10 Nov 2009 6:50 PM #3
The column widths are correct because they are supposed to be expressed as a percentage of the total width so .2 represents 20% and the .8 represents 80%. I could have left one column undefined and it would automatically be assigned the remainder.
So something else is missing in my code.
11 Nov 2009 3:00 AM #4
guess you need also 'totalProperty' in your jsonStore like this:
var upmenu_json = new Ext.data.JsonStore({ url: 'http://localhost/cisaa/loadmenu.dcjs?', root: 'rows', totalProperty: 'total', fields: ['id','no','item', 'desc'] });
In 'total' you set how many rows you give to the store.
11 Nov 2009 8:26 AM #5
Re: Json Data Store Questions
The totalProperty makes no difference. So something else is wrong.
11 Nov 2009 8:39 AM #6
Is the json coming from a different domain? If not, why are you not using a relative url? If so, you'll need to use ScriptTagProxy. Read the doc carefully!
Added note: next time just post your code in code tags, you will get more people looking at it; the Help Guide describes how to do it.
11 Nov 2009 9:11 AM #7
I am not using relative url for the data if that is what you are referring to.
I am using relative URL for the javascript files because my application will be used by a number of clients on different servers so the url might be different but the application structure will always be the same.
For test purposes I was using FireFox to open the Index.htm file from the file system instead of using a http request.
I will setup a test website and see if there is any difference.
Thanks for the tip about code tags.
11 Nov 2009 9:24 AM #8
11 Nov 2009 10:51 AM #9
[Solved] Json Data Store Questions
I changed my setup so that I actually load the page using a http request in the browser and everything works perfectly. So the problem was due to cross domain urls.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding the cross domain urls.

by Herman Melville
Analysis: Writing Style
Convoluted, Grandiose, Highly-Wrought
Yo, you're reading Moby-Dick, not Dick and Jane. This is an amazing (and hilarious) novel, but it takes a wee bit of work to get into the swing of Melville's writing.
What do we mean when we say that the style of Moby-Dick is convoluted? Well, just check out the third paragraph of Chapter 42 ("The Whiteness of the Whale"). This paragraph is, you might notice, a 471-word sentence.
But because we're feeling generous today, we'll look at a (slightly) shorter sentence from the paragraph before that:
Aside from those more obvious considerations touching Moby Dick, which could not but occasionally awaken in any man's soul some alarm, there was another thought, or rather vague, nameless horror concerning him, which at times by its intensity completely overpowered all the rest; and yet so mystical and well nigh ineffable was it, that I almost despair of putting it in a comprehensible form. (42.2)
If (for some reason) your immediate reaction to that paragraph is not "Whoa, yes, that's convoluted," think about it this way: the basic gist of this sentence are the words "There was another thought." What could be simpler? What could be more grammatically succinct?
But Melville embroiders this basic structure with lots of other words until we have this elaborate linguistic wedding cake with six different, interrelated clauses.
And don't get us started on the joke that Ishmael uses this incredibly contorted and complicated sentence to say that... it's going to be hard for him to phrase his thoughts in a way that's easy to understand.
Apart from just being complicated and highly wrought (that is, elaborately crafted), Melville's style in Moby-Dick is ornamented by really complex diction: "He was intent on an audacious, immitigable, and supernatural revenge" (41.23). Even when Melville's sentence structure is straightforward, Melville uses complex, ornate vocabulary to generate a sense of grandeur and magnitude.
But hey: when you're writing a book about a) revenge b) the vastness of the globe and c) how amazingly awesome whales are, what are you going to do? Write simply? Pshaaaaw.

M.Peer Mohamed Sardhar Started The Discussion:A small but true story
A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.
Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, friendship,etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

I have the following problem. First some background information. I use an 206BW as my main monitor. Recently I have a second monitor, a P2370HD. The 206BW is connect to an EN8600GT by a DVI-DVI cable and the P2370HD is connect by a DVI-HDMI cable.
Now my problem. My resolution on the P2370HD is 1920 X 1080i. Photos, and text from e.g. Word are clear. But the text in the window title bars and window buttons are fuzzy.
How is this possible?
And more important, How do I solve this?

Rain washed out the second day of the first test between
Australia and South Africa at the Gabba today.
A torrential downpour 45 minutes before the scheduled start
was followed by drizzle which persisted throughout the day.
It was the first time a whole day's play had been lost to
rain at the ground since 1983, when Australia's test against
Pakistan was similarly disrupted.
South Africa were set to resume on 255 for two in their first
innings with Hashim Amla (90) and Jacques Kallis (84) closing
on centuries.
The tourists have been reduced to 10 batsmen after JP Duminy
was ruled out for the series after rupturing his Achilles
tendon in training on Friday.
Duminy was also expected to play a key role with his off-spin
after specialist spinner Imran Tahir was dropped from the
side to make way for a fourth pace bowler.
The team confirmed that Duminy would be replaced in the
touring party but exactly who would join the squad would not
be announced before the end of the match.
South Africa's number one test ranking is on the line in the
series, which continues after Brisbane with tests in Adelaide
and Perth.
