Boyens started his playing career in New Zealand, playing for Otago University and amateur club Dunedin Technical before transferring to University of New Mexico in 2004, where he was named a first-team All-American in 2006. After briefly playing for Otago United in the New Zealand Football Championship, Boyens was drafted in the first round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft by Toronto FC. He scored his first MLS goal off a corner in a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids on June 2, 2007. He was released by Toronto FC on April 14, 2008. Boyens went on trial at Red Bull New York in April 2008, and signed with the team on May 5, 2008. He appeared in 19 matches during the MLS regular season.

Extrait : Jeffrey William Wilson dit « Jeff Wilson », né le 24 octobre 1973 à Invercargill, est un ancien joueur de rugby et de cricket néo-zélandais, évoluant au poste d'arrière ou d'ailier (1,84 m pour 96 kg). Sportif naturellement doué, il a été international néo-zélandais dans deux sports, le rugby et le cricket. Mais c'était également un basketteur réputé et il a été champion national d'athlétisme en scolaire. Les saisons décalées du cricket et du rugby lui permettent de pratiquer les deux sports jusqu'à la création du Super 12 en 1996, année où il choisit de privilégier le rugby. D'abord international de cricket contre l'Australie lors de la saison 1992-93, il rejouera de nouveau au cricket après la fin de sa carrière de joueur de rugby, jouant toujours pour sa province d'Otago et obtenant sa dernière sélection en mars 2005. Ses débuts internationaux en rugby lors de la tournée d'automne des Blacks dans l'hémisphère nord lui font découvrir les deux facettes de la célébrité: porté aux nues pour ses trois essais lors de son premier match contre les Écossais, il essuie ensuite les critiques pour son mauvais taux de réussite, 5 échec sur 8 tentatives, lors de la défaite contre les Anglais après avoir été désigné buteur en remplacement du buteur titulaire blessé. L'année suivante, il ne rejoue qu'une fois avec les Blacks, contre les Wallabies pour une nouvelle défaite avec en prime la perte de la Bledisloe Cup.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Donald Barry Clarke (10 November 1933-29 December 2002) was a New Zealand rugby union player who played 89 times (31 of these were test matches) as an All Black from 1956 until 1964. He was best known for his phenomenal goal kicking ability that earned him the nickname "The Boot". Clarke was first selected to play rugby for the Waikato rugby team at the age of 17 in 1951. In 1956 he helped the Waikato side to a 14-10 victory over the touring South African Springbok side. This helped his cause in being selected to play in the third All Black test match of the Springbok tour. Over his entire All Black career Clarke scored 781 points, a record that stood for 24 years until it was broken by Grant Fox in 1988. Clarke had four brothers, Ian Clarke, Douglas Clarke (New Zealand cricketer), Brian and Graeme all of whom also represented Waikato. Only once did they all appear for Waikato in the same match, at Te Aroha in 1961. Clarke also played 27 first-class cricket matches, mostly for Auckland and Northern Districts, taking five or more wickets in an innings on four occasions. His best performance came for Northern Districts against Central Districts in January 1963, when he claimed 8/37 in the second innings. At the time, this was a record innings return for Northern Districts in first-class cricket, although it was beaten by Gren Alabaster's 8/30 just two months later. A highlight of his career was to play for the Eastwood Rugby Club (Sydney, Australia) in an exhibition match. "One of the best days of my life..." Don commented at the after match function. Clarke moved to South Africa in the 1970s and coached at King David Victory Park High School in Johannesburg. In 1997, Clarke was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, when a 15-tonne truck hit his utility vehicle. He was diagnosed with melanoma in March 2001, from which he died on December 29, 2002. ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description
Legends tell of the mighty wizards of the past, sorcerers with powers that dwarf those of the magi of the Order of Hermes. Hyperboreans whose spells lasted a generation, necromancers of Canaan who could summon any of the dead, rune magic that brushed aside Magic Resistance like cobwebs; all these stories circulate in the Covenants of the Order. Other forms of magic are so ancient that even the legends have become rare. The Seekers are those magi of the Order who search for these secrets, aiming for the glory of being the one to bring the power to modern magi.This book contains descriptions of nine forms of ancient magic, and rules for integrating their secrets into Hermetic theory. From the frozen north to the westernmost edge of the world, from humankind's earliest homes to grand temples of the classical world, the quest can lead your characters anywhere in Mythic Europe, and even beyond. How far will they go for knowledge? ... Read more

Useful, but not fabulous.
Ancient Magic provides nine systems of thematically appropriate (mostly biblical and Roman) magic outside the Hermetic system in Ars Magica.These systems are, for the most part, alternately too powerful or marginal for the players to get their hands on without it being the basic focus of the game, but there are some gems and the others do provide interesting aspects for non-player antagonists.

The best magics in the book are the fertility magic, which is based on Neolithic society, and "defixio" magic, which is based on Roman cursing practices.Both magics add abilities to the mage that are interesting, beyond the limits of regular magic in the book, and won't unbalance the game if allowed into regular play.Furthermore, the "archaeology" required for magi to relearn these lost forms of magic allow for more flexibility on the part of the storyguide, and don't lock the players into a pat adventure in the book.I especially liked how fertility magic encourages players to check out Neolithic cave paintings; this was a creative touch that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.

Most other magics in the book are unbalancingly powerful (Hyperborean magic, for example, which breaks most of the important limits of Hermetic magic) or irritatingly niche (e.g., Canaanite necromancy, which allows one to talk to the dead - and that's it).They also require adventures which drag the players across the globe on monomaniacal quests for this magic - something everyone has to agree on beforehand.In Ars Magica, a game where eveyone spends time working on their own character advancement, it's unfair for the storyguide to drag the players on session after session looking for the biblical Cain (to learn the language of Adam), to the Near East (to learn Caananite Necromancy), or to longitude zero in the Canary Islands (Hesperides Magic).

The bright spot in this adventuring is that the Ancient Magic book does contain extra information on the Mongol invasion, for people who want to work that part of history into their games.And, as mentioned above, a Hyperborean or Grigori mage, while probably inappropriate as a player character, would make a great antagonist.

Nine interesting non-Hermetic magic systems
This book covers nine non-Hermetic magic systems, all of which predate the Order of Hermes. They can be used in a campaign as models for powers of rivals to player-character magi, but since by the era of the standard game setting they have no living practitioners, their main point is as a set of magical practices that magi might try to learn to expand their own powers.

The introduction offers a set of rules for learning new powers: discover a source of information on an ancient magical tradition (typically through adventuring), investigate it to discover an Insight, invent a spell or magical device that uses the Insight, and repeat until the Insights amount to an extension of Hermetic magic theory. (The Insight rules are a variation on the original magic research rules in the Bonisagus section of True Lineages.) If one makes a breakthrough, it may be taught to other magi or recorded in writing.

Chapter 1 covers the Language of Adam, the language spoken before the Tower of Babel -- the language of true names, more or less. For a Hermetic magus, it grants a penetration bonus to spells equal to the magus's skill in the language. The chapter mostly covers adventures one might take to learn the long-dead language. No Insights are necessary to use the language.

Chapter 2 covers Canaanite Necromancy. It includes a Major Supernatural Virtue, Canaanite Necromancy, a Minor Hermetic Virtue, Canaanite Magic, a list of example spells and items, and a few special powers. It also includes an infernally tainted variation on the power. There are also some adventures one could use to seek Insight into this magical tradition.

Chapter 3 covers Defixio Magic, a tradition that allows its practitioners to perform magic beyond sight range without an arcane connection, and cast spells with built-in triggers similar to Watching Ward. Triggered spells require enough Insight for Event Duration, a Minor Breakthrough. Spells without arcane connections require enough Insight for Unlimited Range, a Hermetic Breakthrough. Much of the chapter consists of mini-adventure descriptions for defexiones that a magus might find and use as sources of Insight. There is also a Major Supernatural Virtue, Defixio Lore, which most most magi would be unable to learn because of conflicts with Hermetic learning.

Chapter 4 covers Fertility Magic, which includes the Arcane Ability Fertility Lore, the Minor Hermetic Virtue Fertility Ritual Magic, the spell target Unborn Child, a few example spells and items, and several adventure seeds.

Chapter 5 presents Grigori Magic, a type of magic originally known to children of angels. Spells developed with Grigori Insight allow magi to substitute different sorts of vis when casting vis-boosted spells, and possibly avoid use of vis entirely. Grigori Minor Supernatural Virtues allow using some types of vis interchangeably; Grigori Minor Hermetic Virtues allow that and bypass some requisites. Much of the chapter is adventure seeds.

Chapter 6 presents Heron of Alexandria's Legacy, a type of magic that allows its practitioners to create Mechanica. With a Minor Hermetic Virtue or Major Breakthrough, magi can create magical devices with mutable powers. With a Major Virtue or Hermetic Breakthrough, magi can awaken a magical device, giving it intelligence and personality. The chapter includes numerous example devices and adventure seeds.

Chapter 7 describes the Hesperides, a simple skill that allows a place's longitude and latitude to be used as an arcane connection to it. Since such arcane connections depend on the Law of Names, they may be copied freely. The skill can only be used if one visits Longitude Zero, in today's Canary Islands. Most of the chapter deals with adventures involved in visiting Longitude Zero.

Chapter 8 presents Hyperborean Magic, a tradition based on hymns to Apollo. It includes the Minor Supernatural Virtues Hyperborean Hymnist and Hyperborean Descent; the latter is also a Major Hermetic Virtue. Also included are the Supernatural Ability Hyporean Hymn, the dead language Hyperborean, the new duration 19 Years, numerous hymn-powers, special Insight rules, and adventures to seek Hyperborean knowledge.

Chapter 9 presents Rune Magic, which includes the Duration Rune, the target Inscription, the Major Hermetic Virtue Rune Magic, and the rune wizards' Rune Magic. Rune magic has the advantage that it can be performed without vis. There is also some information about runes and rune magic, and a few adventure ideas.

If a magus is happy with Hermetic magic only, the player doesn't need this book. But this offers a lot of additional options that might broaden a magus's powers -- and add adventure motivations to a campaign.

Atlas Games does it again.
I've always loved Ars Magica and this recent supplement is just great.

It has lots of material that could be brought into many campaigns.Each type of Ancient magic has it's own section with history and rules on researching.In fact the books primary purpose appears to be to provide research opportunities and goals for your magi.A character could have his life goal to pursue norse rune magic and incorporating it into standard Hermetic theory.

too few rules
This one was alright in my opinion, but a little lacking in the rules dept. I feel they could have developed some of the specifics of the various forms of magic much more. I found the book to be more like a collection of adventure ideas. Not bad mind you, but not up to par with the rest of the excellent Ars Magica line. ... Read more

From the author: Richard L. Reece, MD, interviewed Jeff C. Goldsmith, PhD, President of Health Futures, Inc. on October 12, 1999 to discuss how the Internet will affect health care delivery in the millennium. One of the most profound changes that he sees is how the relationship between physicians and patients will be altered. Empowered consumers are where the real revolution is happening--a Wend sometimes overlooked by physicians. Goldsmith says, "The key thing physicians have missed is that the patient is in charge of the process.... The Internet has enabled patients to aggregate their collective experience across disease entities." But there is too much information. "It is almost universally acknowledged by patients and physicians that there is a terrible quality problem. Getting from information to knowledge is a huge commercial opportunity for somebody." He doesn't think that people have put enough emphasis on the collective learning part of this new technology.

screenwriting
Decent. Not the most authoritve book on screenwriting but helpful and fun to read. The author has acutally produced a screenplay that has made it to the silver screen~

Great
It's educational and entertaining. In the format of a student writing to a retired screenwriter. One of the very first books I read on screenwriting and one of my favorite. It doesn't give enough advise to be fantastic or help you a greast deal, but I give it five stars beacuse it's a great read. Don't put it as you're first read but as one when you find you interest weening.

For Anyone Who Can Read...
Who knew?I had to order a copy of this book after impulsively picking it up at the library.It was the word "soul" that grabbed my attention. I had to see if this was real or just a catchy title, soul starved writer that I am.Boy am I brilliant to have found this!I'm amazing!When I finished the last word, bawling like a baby, I felt like I had just stepped out of a theater in that total transformation ecstacy.But best of all, I was a mere few feet from my computer in my own little abode. All my stuff is transformed too! Wow. If you might like to be inspired to within an inch of your life, choose this book and then hide under the covers while you read it. You might get so engrossed you forget and pick your nose or something. (You don't even have to be a writer to love this book.)
