SA's Rainbow Cup finalist won't be at full-strength
Morne Steyn celebrates with teammates
No Springbok squad squad members will feature in a Rainbow Cup final or any franchise games against the British & Irish Lions.
BOK SELECTOR: Make one change to the Nienaber's 46-man squad
Bok boss Jacques Nienaber's first-ever squad consists of 24 home-based players, while the remaining 22 are based abroad.
On the domestic front, the Sharks have the most representatives in the squad with nine, followed by the Stormers with eight, the Bulls four, the Cheetahs with two and the Lions one.
But the four big franchises – the Bulls, Lions, Sharks Stormers – competing in the Rainbow Cup SA will now head into the final round of the competition without their Springbok players. The team who tops the log after this weekend will also head into the intercontinental north-south Rainbow Cup final without its Bok stars.
ALSO READ: Steyn's Springbok recall is truly remarkable
'It is not easy when you are a franchise coach and you know some of these 46 players are going through to the Rainbow Cup final,' Rassie Erasmus commented. 'You know if the Bulls or Sharks go play Benetton or Munster, they are going to play without their Springboks,' Erasmus said after the team announcement.
'They understand it, and we mentioned it. It is not nice for them but we had good conversations about it and they understand it.
'There might be occasions and it will be case by case, but I think it will be a very rare occasion that we might say this player needs some game time and we can release him for the Bulls, for instance,' Erasmus said.
'The problem there is you lose him for 10 days because they have to go into a bubble for 10 days for the Lions – that is part of the contract. If we really see this boy needs game time and he is not sharp; we don't think he is where he should be. That would be a surprise because we have been all over them in the alignment camps.
'In theory, it might change if there is common logic if we see this guy needs game time. We might release one or two, but we have to suffer the consequences of not having that guy for 10 days of coaching. In theory, nobody will play in the final of the Rainbow Cup and nobody will play in the British & Irish Lions' provincial games from this squad.'

'CSI' review: William Petersen's Gil Grissom returned to liven up this show: VIDEO
By Ken Tucker Updated February 03, 2011 at 12:00 PM EST
CSI began this week with a tease: Jorja Fox's Sara Sidle at a benefit for a foundation for the deaf, received a call from her hubby, William Petersen's Gil Grissom. Ah, how nice it was to hear Grissom's familiar rasp, even distorted through a smartphone. "I'm still in Peru," he said — he'd miss the function, which was attended by his mother (Phyllis Frelich), a guest star (Marlee Matlin), and … surprise!: a death. By the end of the hour, we were granted a glimpse of the much-missed Gil.
Matlin, playing a testy academic, was briefly a suspect in the murder case, before the investigation's net was cast wider. The tale was complicated by, as Matlin's Julia Holden signed to Sara, "my history with your husband. We were involved, intimately." Smug and aggressive, Holden was actually the woman Grissom's mother preferred to Sara; Betty Grissom had bonded with Holden in a way she never has with Sara. "Julia has been like a daughter to me," she said. (Makes sense — I mean, how long have Gil and Sara been married-but-separated-by-vast-distances?)
CSI has lost its mojo since Petersen's Grissom left; enough time has passed to say flat out that Laurence Fishburne's Ray Langston just hasn't been as interesting a character. Langston is less a strong leader — or, as in the case of Grissom, a fascinatingly eccentric one — than just another member of the team, which has pushed Marg Helgenberger and George Eads to the fore. They're fine, to be sure, but their characters always seem to be waiting for Gil to poke his head around a lab corner to give an inscrutable order or test them on an arcane theory.
This episode had a teleplay by coexecutive producers Treena Hancock and Melissa R. Byer, good writers who authored one of this season's better episodes, November's "Wild Life." Hancock and Byer are adept at sketching fully formed female characters, whether it's Gil's firm, intelligent mother (Frelich embodied her perfectly) or creating the gal-pal dialogue between Sara and Helgenberger's Catherine.
Nevertheless, this episode, titled "The Two Mrs. Grissoms" — a humorous reference to Gil's mom and Sara — despite the explosion of two bombs, didn't have much to spark it, not even with Matlin cranking her flintiness to full flare.
To be honest, the whole thing left me thinking, during the commercials, of CSI's glory days, with Gil parrying quips and whips with Lady Heather.
"What kind of marriage do you have?" Mrs. Grissom asked Sara. "We talk every day," Sara protested. "What Gil and I have works." Too bad CSI doesn't, very often, these days.
At the very end, the case solved and already forgotten, we saw Sara talking to Gil via laptop camera. It was great to see Petersen again, bearded, happy, and chattering about Incan culture. Gil's mom soon joined Sara. Gil said, "When I come back, the three of us will go out to dinner, soon."
Can't come soon enough, Gil.

The Kartoss Gambit
Way of the Shaman, Book 2
Autor: Vasily Mahanenko
Sprecher: Jonathan Yen
A product of the latest technologies, Barliona is a virtual world brimming with fun and entertainment. The government has become the guarantor for the in-game currency, allowing its free circulation. As a result the population floods Barliona in pursuit of easy money. It doesn't take long for the game developers to discover a source of free labor: real-world prison convicts. While their bodies are locked in special auto-maintenance virtual capsules, the prisoners' minds are released into Barliona's virtual mines.

Shaman's Revenge
Daniel Mahan, the legendary Shaman of the Barliona game world, has served his sentence in virtual reality. Eleven months of adventures and battles in exchange for eight years in prison isn't a bad trade-off. And yet Barliona refuses to relinquish its grip on the Shaman so easily, erasing the boundary between his two realities. It turns out that it's not so simple to leave the capsule - the Way must be completed....
The Secret of the Dark Forest
The virtual world of Barliona is a place of rest and entertainment - but not for everyone. It has become a survival arena for Daniel Mahan after he was sentenced to eight years in its virtual jail. Mahan has been through it all: the back-breaking work in the mines, betrayal by other prisoners, and finally, the retrial which has released him into Barliona's common world. What more could one want? Mahan could have kept a low profile and enjoyed relative freedom while serving the rest of his time.

The Phantom Castle
What can a game clan accomplish without a castle? The answer is obvious: nothing. Therefore, the main objective of any leader in a game world is to acquire a base of operations. Finding himself in exactly this position, High Shaman Mahan, leader of the Legends of Barliona, accepts an offer from the Emperor and the Dark Lord to vanquish the army of Phantoms that has inhabited Altameda, the phantom castle.
The Karmadont Chess Set
Mahan's ready for new adventures - just as the gaming world of Barliona thought it was about to reenter its old comfortable rut. The winds of the Dark Forest have finally died down; Altameda has recognized its new owner while Geranika is nursing new schemes of global destruction. Would Mahan be happy with this predictable old life? We think not!

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town.

The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.

Over the last century, global poverty has largely been viewed as a technical problem that merely requires the right "expert" solutions. Yet all too often, experts recommend solutions that fix immediate problems without addressing the systemic political factors that created them in the first place. Further, they produce an accidental collusion with "benevolent autocrats", leaving dictators with yet more power to violate the rights of the poor.

Weed Traveler: Exploring Venice Beach
Sharon Letts | June 27, 2017
Source: Medical cannabis card shop on the Venice Boardwalk.
Takeaway: Being a more progressive town, Venice Beach has embraced the cannabis culture with both arms outstretched, and with exuberance.
It's common knowledge in Los Angeles that if you want to get a medical marijuana card quick and cheap, you go to the Venice Beach Boardwalk and lay down 40 bucks in one of its many tiny storefront medical card mills.
California was the first state in the country to legalize cannabis as medicine in 1996 with Proposition 215 voted in and the Compassionate Care Act was added to its Health and Safety Code, giving Californians safe access to cannabis for real illnesses.
Venice Beach began in 1905 as Venice of America with tobacco millionaire Abbot Kinney originally creating a 16-mile neighborhood of canals as homage to Venice, Italy, along the Pacific Ocean, with Marina Del Rey to the south and Santa Monica to the north.
Kinney, who had won the parcel in a literal coin flip, proceeded to develop the area as a tourist spot, and it remains a popular town within the City of Los Angeles for artists, musicians, and performers who line Ocean Front Walk on the beach, sharing space with flame eaters, chain saw jugglers, and the occasional MMJ card mill.
In the 1950s, Beatniks gathered in coffee houses. By the 1960s, artists and musicians converged and lived on the cheap. In the 1970s, actor and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, could be found pumping iron on a part of the walk dubbed Muscle Beach.
After signing a law decriminalizing small amounts of cannabis in the state, he was quoted on the aroma of the area, stating, "… you just inhale, and you live off everyone else." At least we know he definitely inhaled.
Today, the canals are lined with high-end, upgraded mini-mansions with price tags only Hollywood industry-types can afford. There are just a few original cottages remaining, but the shops and stalls that line the beach are still fabulously funky.
When I set out to visit Venice Beach, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and surfers were floating on out on the sea as I made my way through the circus-like atmosphere.
A man broke bottles on a tarp as a crowd gathered, preparing to walk on the glass barefoot for tips, while a woman read palms for $10 a pop and an electric guitarist on roller skates played Hendrix. It was a typical weekday in Venice Beach.
The Green Doctors office is located next door to Jodi Maroni's Sausage. "No appointment necessary" is the norm at the storefront MMJ card shops, so I popped in to have a chat with one of the clerks.
As was expected, the young doctor had little knowledge of the many benefits of the plant, cannabis oil, putting cancer into remission, or its ability of combatting myriad ailments from ingesting, rather than smoking.
No matter, I adjusted my proverbial Florence Nightingale cap and shared my story. He was more than a little surprised, is now following me on social media and, hopefully, he'll be better informed to help those that present for a card only wanting to burn flower. In fact, a family member was currently suffering from an ailment mentioned, and he was eager to help with the newfound knowledge.
Venice Beach also hosts some of the more enlightened dispensaries in the city, with The Green Goddess located near the pier and within walking distance from Ocean Front Walk. After posting a photo of the pier to social media, Annie Nelson (Willie's wife) left me a comment encouraging me to visit the shop. With that kind of recommendation, it was a no-brainer.
The facility was clean and staff was friendly, with security just outside the door. But I was most impressed with the large selection of medicine available, including a good amount of CBD-only oils, tinctures of varied strengths, cannabis caps for easy dosing, and a variety of edibles – all tested and plainly marked in professional packaging.
As for myself, I purchased a refill for my vape pen – a sativa-dominant hybrid for $35 – and a pre-rolled cone I immediately strolled to the end of the pier with.
Visiting dispensaries in culturally diverse towns always offer up a great experience. As a California patient, I'm grateful for the many producers of good medicine in one of my favorite LA towns where it's still cool to take a walk and witness art, music, and good food in the Cali sunshine, with your third eye fully open.

- Using the right colours can add a summery, fresh and cool look to your home and you don't have to spend a fortune. A common interior design trend these days is to keep the walls fairly neutral. Instead, invest in bright, summery cushions and décor, fresh fruit and bright flowers.
- Open the windows and any sliding or bi-fold doors. Although air-conditioning is a quick way to cool down your home, consider using the air-conditiner only prior to a home inspection and then open windows and doors to let in fresh air and summer breezes.
- Allowing natural airflow through open windows and screens, with fans turned on at a low speed, can help to show how naturally cool your property is, as well as highlighting outdoor entertainment areas and gardens.
- Make sure the grass and garden is tidy. Your garden is often the first thing to make an impression on potential buyers, and first impressions are important! In summer, our lawns and shrubbery tend to grow faster and some plants need additional watering, so ensure your lawn is mowed, hedges and unruly shrubs are trimmed, and any wilting or dead plants are revived or removed.
- Summer really is the best time of year to showcase your home's outdoor area, so spend some time making it look as appealing as possible. Put away any pool toys or play equipment, consider replacing or buying new outdoor cushions for seating areas, place a bowl of fruit or fresh flowers on outdoor surfaces or even a jug of cold lemonade. Sweep and tidy entertainemtn areas and even consider staging these aqreas to show just how inviting the space is in the warm weather.
- The best tips for selling in summer are to put o you 'buyer's shoes' and take a look around your house as if you were inspecting it for the first time on a hot, sunny day. Think about what appeals most to you and think of what you can do to further enhance that area. Also, take the time to consider what needs to be done to fix any problem areas. Happy summer selling!

Purpose- The study investigates the role of inclusive human development and military expenditure in modulating the effect of terrorism on governance. Design/methodology/approach- It is based on 53 African countries for the period 1998-2012 and interactive Generalised Method of Moments is employed. Six governance indicators from the World Bank and two terrorism variables are used, namely: domestic and transnational terrorism dynamics. Findings- The following main findings are established. There is a negative net effect on governance (regulation quality and corruption-control) when inclusive human development is used to reduce terrorism. There is a positive net impact on governance ("voice and accountability" and rule of law) when military expenditure is used to reduce domestic terrorism. Originality/value- We have complemented the sparse literature on the use of policy variables to mitigate the effect of policy syndromes on macroeconomic outcomes.

A study found that more than 25% of people with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene being treated for advanced-stage breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer got some benefit from olaparib, an experimental targeted therapy medicine.
The poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme fixes DNA damage in both healthy and cancer cells. Researchers believe that a medicine like olaparib, which interferes with (inhibits) the PARP enzyme, might make it even harder for cancer cells with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene to fix DNA damage. This would make it harder for the cancer cells to survive. In other words, a PARP inhibitor might make some cancer cells less likely to survive their DNA damage.
Research in the lab on cancer cells with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene showed that the cells were 1,000 times more sensitive to PARP inhibition than cancer cells that didn't have an abnormal BRCA gene. Based on those results, the researchers felt that treating cancers in people with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene with olaparib would probably be effective.
In this study, 298 people diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian, breast, pancreatic, or prostate cancer that had stopped responding to standard treatments received olaparib, a pill taken by mouth twice a day. All the people in the study had an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
This study was a phase II study. This means it was looking at the effectiveness of a new treatment, in this case olaparib. If a certain percentage of people benefit from the new treatment, it's likely the treatment will go on to a phase III trial, which is the last step a new treatment goes through before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers approving it.
The researchers also found that 42% of the people had no cancer growth for at least 8 weeks after being treated with olaparib.
About 50% of the people in the study had side effects, though most weren't severe. The most common side effects were fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. About 17% of the people in the study had anemia, a low red blood cell count, which is a more severe side effect. The researchers thought this somewhat high level of anemia was because so many people in the study had been treated with several different chemotherapy regimens before they received olaparib. Most of the side effects were eased by reducing the daily dose of olaparib.
Because these results were so encouraging, the researchers believe that olaparib should be studied in a phase III trial.
If you have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene and are being treated for advanced-stage breast cancer, you and your doctor may be considering a number of treatment options. If the cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments, other treatment options may include a PARP inhibitor such as olaparib if you're willing to participate in a clinical trial. Ask your doctor if there are any clinical trials that might be a good fit for you and your unique situation. Visit the Breastcancer.org Clinical Trials pages for more information.


ALBION, N.Y. _ Dairy worker Luis Jiménez gambles every time he drives to work. If gets behind the wheel without a license, a single traffic stop can alert immigration agents and lead to deportation.

All longarm quilting services are completed on our Gammill Statler Stitcher machine. The Statler offers state of the art stitch and design precision. We offer a wide selection of quilting patterns and designs. The goal of our trained staff is to help you turn your quilt top into a treasured heirloom.
Basting allows hand quilters or home machine quilters to have us put the layers of their quilt together for them. Large stitches are easy to remove once the quilt is complete.
This edge to edge method of longarm machine quilting is popular due to the lower cost. There are many designs to choose from.
Combo is an edge to edge interior with the outer border customized.
Check to be sure all seams are secure.
If your quilt does NOT have an outside border please stay-stitch around your quilt within 1/4″ to ensure seams do not pull apart when quilted.
If your quilt is directional, please pin a note to mark the top of the quilt.
Remove all buttons or other embellishments.
Press the quilt top and backing. Fold and hang on a hanger when you bring your quilt in.
Quilt top and backing must be brought in as separate layers, not already sandwiched together.
We reserve the right to refuse unfamiliar backing fabrics such as sheets or decorator fabrics.
Fullness/puckers within a quilt and it's borders cannot be quilted out. If your quilt is not square and has fullness and/or puckers we cannot guarantee that tucks will not be sewn in. Excessive fullness in borders may result in the quilt corners not being squared.
Please have your quilt top and backing separately pressed, folded and hanging on a hanger.
Bring your quilt to the longarm room and one of our longarm quilters will fill out the appropriate paperwork with you.
Please call 748-6505 before coming to be sure someone is present to check in your quilt.
Questions are welcome. Please call 616-748-6505 and a staff member will help you.
Pricing is effective March 1, 2019 and is subject to change without notice.
The price of quilting your quilt is determined by the square inch. For example, if your quilt measures 50″ x 70″ then your quilt is 3,500 square inches. If you choose an edge to edge design that is $.020/psi, your quilting cost will be $70.
Our battings are sold by the linear inch (that way you only pay for what you need).
