Back to pouncey, i dont remember mangold, unger, wood moving asa well as he did in some of the combine drills
As far as Urbik goes he must be better then Stepleton who is a superbowl winning guard LOL! It does not look like he well be back to the steelers.
Stepleton was undrafted and better then a steelers 5th rd pick. (2007 5th rd Cameron Stephenson Rutgers)
Giants | Stapleton visits this week
Comment (0)
Thu, 08 Apr 2010 17:45:18 -0700
Adam Caplan, of ESPN.com, reports free-agent OG Darnell Stapleton (Steelers) visited the New York Giants this week, according to a source.
I just hope Urbik can be coached up by the new line coach so he does not end up a busted pick
Read more: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/NFL?page=2#ixzz0kdrJMx33
Chadman said it great: Urbik should have played this year, if he was worth a squat this year. (And BTW, I liked... and still depend on him to come along.)
However, I disagree with Chadman on Iupati vs. Pouncey. I've said this before, but the biggest problem I see on our line is stupidity.
When I say stupidity, I'm talking about stupid penalties, being able to adjust to things they see, etc. In that regard, our line is TERRIBLE. Starks, you almost feel like you could hear the gears in his head creaking when something different happens. Kemo of course, Mr. Penalty. Colon I also consider something of a mental midget.
We need smart guys. That's why I like Pouncey. Pouncey (from reports) is bright, and seems to have quickness of mind... something our lard-butt linemen don't seem to have.
Guys and gals,
If you play fantasy football, go to the FF forum here and read my thread. I'd appreciate some feedback on it.

so much for the naysayers who said Pouncey doesn't deserve to be picked so high...

.An honor indeed when one is born and raised in a country which has enjoyed its freedom and democracy since its independence. It was on that great day when thousands of natives sang the proud and free anthem with vigor and pride as the mountains shock and the birds scattered in all directions waving their wings. But as the national anthem continued to pave its melody in the air, many of the words remained hanging in the heads of the majority of women. Could this be the unity, joy, freedom that our mothers such as mama kakasa strongly fought for? Are women the mothers of the nation strong and free when tradition denies their liberty? Or is it only the men who were liberated from the colonel rule? Free men we stand under the flag of our land as the chorus goes. Although some traditional norms are taking a new paradigm shift, however the traditional aspect which puts an emphasis on men making decisions and women inferiority continue to be firm. What then is independence when tradition imposes stiff measures on women and their rights denied. Culture has thus promoted patriarchy in a Zambian society and imposes a lot of restriction on women.
Dr Iress Phiri grew up in such a society and experienced the brutality of women due to the traditions which eroded them. Because tradition has for a long time praised male dominance, in the process, it has promoted discrimination against women; Gender based violence and gender inequality. "We need to change our cultural and promote a new culture which will be appreciated by all says Iress a traditional counselor and human rights activist dressed in a traditional Chitenge outfit".
Silent weep........ Studies show that nearly one third of Zambian women had been subjected to violence in one of its many forms. Tradition has it that a woman has to succumb to a man, regardless of the consequences. What ever a man says is right and should be followed without question. Because the abnormal had become normal "80% of Zambian wives find it acceptable to be beaten by their husband as a form of chastisement this is According to the Zambia demographic health survey". In many instances decision making remain to be on the side of a man from one generation to another generation as studies continue to show. This can be stretched from the political, social and economical aspects. Puberty and marriage ceremonies are very much focused on women. Some traditional practices exposes young girls at a tender age to adult sexual life, the young girls are taught different issues ranging from how to look after the house and how to treat a husband. As results most young girls are introduced to early sexuality and most of them end up dropping out of school, early marriages or unwanted pregnancies. In rural areas when young girls reach puberty, the majority are married off. Young brides to be undergo intensive traditional training on how to take good care of their husbands. As culture suggest women are encouraged never to say a word on what happens in a home especially in the bedroom.
"It was from what I saw around me that prompted me to form an organization which helps women", says Dr Iress phiri." Women battered by their husbands, young girls incubated in the house because they had reached puberty stage, these girls remained in the house for six months and missed school to be taught how to take care of husbands". She explains
Husbands are traditionally the heads of families in Zambia. They have sole parental authority and make most of the important household decisions, including those regarding the use of contraception.Most women suffer the ill-treatment of their husbands and accept it as a form of punishment for their disobedience, thus most women are scared of questioning their husbands..... .. Beneath the silence of a woman lies the pain of been a woman.
Hope for change.............. Traditional counselors are well known for their support for male dominance but for Dr Iress Phiri this is not the case. She is one of the few traditional female counselors who have contributed positively to bring about change to cultures which has neglected the role and importance of women in a home, society and the nation at large. Alagizi (traditional counselor) as she is famously known raises her voice in ensuring that rights and role of women are accepted and in cooperated in the cultural context.
Words without action is literally nothing, action is the only way to change. As a woman who wants the best for every woman, Dr Phiri formed the Zambia National Traditional Counselors Association on October 14 1997. By then she was working for an institute in the heart of the capital city Lusaka. Zambia National Traditional Counselors Association is one of the few traditional organization promoting women rights and Gender equality in the nation. It received overwhelming support from women organizations such as Non Government Organisation coordinating committee "NGOCC" and food Basket. The organization promotes gender equality among the citizen and empowers women at different levels... Its formation was to help women know and understand their rights within the community. It also uses many different forms to reach out to the affected women such as conducting community sensitization to educate women on their rights and promote gender equality. They also use media- radio and television phone in programs to reach thousands of women who are victims of patriarchy. On Muvi TV which is currently airing around the global through free to air, Dr Iris phiri appears almost every Thursday on a gender based program.
In order to ensure effectiveness in their service delivery the organization uses language which their clients are able to comprehend which is manly local languages. The organization also net work with organizations such as Young Women Christian Association of Zambia (YWCA) and victim support Units. Women who are victims of abuse and violence are linked to these organizations for further assistance.
Grace is one such a woman who benefited from the Zambia traditional counselors association "My husband used to beat me and mistreated me lamented Grace a member of the Zambia traditional counselor association. I didn't know I had rights, it is only when I approached Dr Iress that I received help" she explained in Nyanja.
Lack of knowledge of human rights especially among women in Zambia has contributed to women failure to exercise their rights. The majority of Zambian women live in ignorance of their rights and Grace was one of them. Many women through the Zambia National Traditional Counselors have come to know and exercise their rights. Most women who exercise their rights are often considered to be rebellious and are likely to be divorced or become victims of violence; some are considered as outcast, when they refuse to adhere to certain beliefs. In cases where a woman loses her spouse through death she will be expected to be traditionally cleaned but if she refuse to undergo the cleaning process of which depending on the tribe, can be sexual cleaning or pouring of mill meal on the widow body, then she will considered as unclean and sometimes threatened to loss her mind.
On the other hand the country's customary law puts women on a disadvantaged position and up hold the rights of a man. In the event of divorce following a legal marriage, the courts grant child custody in the best interests of the children. In the case of separation after a customary marriage, the children typically stay with the father once a husband dies women become more scared of the activities that surround them, during the mourning period, most widows are expected not to eat or talk to anyone. Property grabbing and sexual cleaning leave widows in vulnerable position such as HIV positive and poverty.
According to a 1989 law, widows have the right to inherit 20% of their husbands "property; by contrast, widowers are entitled to inherit all of their wives' property Despite the 1989 law, most families follow customary practice in which the deceased's family claims it is entitled to seize the estate
Studies show that since the time of the ancestors, women showed respect to men more than men showed respect to women. Women had to stay at home to look after the children and prepare food for their husbands. Even in the colonel era women and girls remained at home while men and boys went to school or work. The way a girl is brought up makes her believe that she is underneath a man and has no rights. Girls and women receive more instruction and toil more than boys and men in a house. Young girls and boys are brought up differently; to them that is the way of life. Hence To change the mindset of men who have been mentored to dominate and underrate women is not easy.
"According to story underneath IP There is need to incorporate male voice in advancing equal participation of men and women in gender equality and participation in decision making position"
The cultural system which is accepted yet not appreciated by all remains a challenge and one way that the organization is trying to break the hard stiff custom is by encouraging couple counseling. Gender is not about breaking marriage, during couple counseling, men are educated on human rights as well as women rights. They are also encouraged to treat their wives as equal partners. The need to involve men in educating women rights will contribute to the breaking of the gender inequality which exists. Men have to understand that a woman is not inhuman but human too. A couple is also encouraged to bring up their children in a way that there should be no partiality.
With Leaders' influence, a road way to positive change........ The other focus that they group is taking is approaching the leaders in all levels of society. These include traditional leaders as well as government leaders such as chiefs and traditional counselors. Chiefs are still regarded as leaders of the land in different provinces of Zambia. These are traditional leaders who make decisions and are respected and consulted by all including government officials. These chiefs have continued to uphold traditional customs in their chiefdoms. But if these chiefs are educated about the benefits of gender equality in their communities they can be able to influence their chiefdoms and bring about a culture which does not discriminate.
We need to educate and train chiefs on gender equality because these are leaders and people who can bring change to our culture. Dr Iress says.
The National Traditional Association of Zambia works with the government in different areas and receives assistance such as transport to carry out activities in the country under culture department of the ministry of community development but Iris demands that the government should do more.
"According to Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF) in 1980 The Zambian government signed to the convention of the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW)" and in 1985 it began addressing problem concerning the discrimination of women in 1985 by setting up a desk for women in the ministry of finance and national planning. Meanwhile in 2000 the government adopted the National Gender policy.
We need more female members of parliament (MPs), we also need to work with women (MPs) who will understand us better and support our work emphases Iress. Government should appoint more female ministers. She adds.
In 2008, the gender activists called for the establishment of the national tribunal to fight gender discrimination and sensitize the general public, policy-markers and law enforcement officials about women rights. They also said the country needs higher numbers of women in position of power, in business as well as in politics. Zambia is a signatory to the southern Africa development community (SADC) and African union protocols is that commit to attaining 50 percent participation of men and women in political decision making. However, this stipulation is not yet reflected in the country's political setting. Zambia has only an estimate 15% female member of parliament.
Although the National Traditional Counselors Association is expanding, the resources are limited. In future if resources allow, the organization will be able to conduct workshops and training for traditional leaders and reach out to the remotest rural areas to educate and sensitize communities on women rights. They also need to publish materials in local language which will be easy for the illiterate to comprehend.
The Zambia tradition counselor association since its formation has expanded to different provinces of Zambia including the copper belt, choma, chipata and has 172 branches headed by women. 200,000 women have benefited from the program. Dr Iress Phiri has also opened a community school which helps children especially young girls attain education in George compound.
In order to combat the gender inequality and traditional customs which underrate women, there is need for government to support tradition organizations working to change and remove certain cultures which discriminate women. Such organizations as Zambia National Traditional Counselors Association uses the traditional strategy to help both men and women understand the rights of women. It is also a call to international donors to look in this direction because once knowledge is imparted in chiefs, traditional leaders, change is coming.
As the traditions takes its new paradigm shift and the national anthem paves its sweet melody in the air. With a non discrimination culture, the wish of Dr Iress Phiri and every vulnerable Zambian woman is to sing loud and sure, all one, strong and free with vigor and pride.

I love the way you write. You convey good feelings all around. Please never stop writing.
Very nice job indeed, and I totally agree that women need to get used to acting like they are already equal, and sing the anthem. If we don`t at least play the game of pretend, we will never reach the goal.
That is why experts say that if you want to be rich, you need to act like one even when penniless (Donald Trump). Attitude is everything.
So, thanks for writing about this, and my best wishes to you in the future. I can see the great Dando making her dreams come true!
Jacqueline Patiño FundActiva Tarija - Bolivia South America www.jap21.wordpress.com

Silent weep

Hi Dando,
What a wonderful article and great celebration of a woman who is breaking the mold of traditional patriarchal practices to educate women about their rights!
Thank you for teaching us about the great accomplishments and spirit of Dr Iress Phiri. I so admire her courage to make real change for the women of Zambia. I loved reading this article because I love hearing stories like this one - of women leaders who are changing the world and turning the way society views women on its head.
This was really well researched and written Dando. Congratulations on your success through VOF and the amazing journey you are on. I love reading everything you write!
Does the Zambia National Traditional Counselors Association have a website?
Hugs, Jade
for loving my writing. I enjoy writing though am not that much of a writer. I equally admire Dr Iress courage too. Her voice has really changed lives of women. it was really an honor for me to interview her. Although culture is difficult to change, she is really trying to see change happen especially in uplifting women's rights. About the website, the time I was interviewing her, thats the period her website was being set up. I will findout if its open and then let you know.
God bless
with Love
Dando, This is a wonderfully researched and insightful article. You have supported it well with facts as well as personal stories. But mostly, you have drawn us in with your portrayal of Dr. Iress. I can see that you have much respect for her. I really enjoyed reading the background information on the cultural traditions that bind the women even more to a life of subjugation, as I did not realize that there were spouse cleaning processes. You summed it up beautifully with the words: "Beneath the silence of a woman lies the pain of being a woman."
Your writing shows good clarity of thought and you chose an interesting topic. It's been a joy to take this journey with you. Best wishes, Janice
your comments always uplifts my spirit. I am always inspired by you and all the women here. I want to write some more whenever you comment. At first I thought it was not a good topic but thanks to you and everyone who encouraged me and I had to write it. It has also been a joy to take this journey with you.
thanks and God richly bless you.
with Love and joy

A Topeka church is celebrating a big milestone.
Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church is holding revivals all week to mark Rev. W.L. Templeton's 50th year as their leader.
Templeton came to the church from Arkansas when he was 37-years old. He says he wasn't sure about the move at first, but asked the Lord to take care of him - and He has.
Templeton says he loves the people. He says he's proud to have helped some 40 men into the pastory.
He says the job has taught him a lot. He says you have to learn to forgive people when they do wrong, and they have to learn to forgive you, too, because you're going to do wrong as well. He says he hasn't done everything right, but he's done the best he could.
The 87-year old isn't going anywhere. He says the Lord hasn't told him it's time to quit yet.

They finally drafted a person I've wanted for a long time in Lattimore. Eric Reid has so much potential with his athleticism. With a name like Tank, you can't go wrong. Lemonier could be an absolute stud! Patton was my 3rd favorite receiver behind Austin and Allen.
One pick that has me intrigued is BJ Daniels. I think we are looking for a true backup for Kap and this guy fits the bill. Very fast and has a good arm. But I see him playing multiple positions on this team with his speed and quickness. I know he is a 7th rounder but he could possibly beat out tolzien just based on the scheme of our offense and if he looks better at TC or preseason.

"Outing on Lake Roosevelt" Outing by Aprl24
Outing Travel Guide: 0 reviews and 2 photos
Located on a peninsula and connected by a bridge, Outing is the only town on Lake Roosevelt. You can drive your boat up to the public docks to visit the gas station, grocery store, butcher, video store, marina, gift shop, wine boutique, and coffee shop. Visit the other side of the bridge and you can park your boat, hop off and enjoy breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner at "Pestello's Bar and Grill". First called "The Bridge", then "The Season's", the new owners have really updated the place and "Pestello's" is THE spot to go when vacationing on Lake Roosevelt. The food is excellent!
And don't forget to stop at the gift shop, "Owl's and Things" for a FANTASTIC ice cream cone on a hot day :)
Located between Emily and Outing, Lake Roosevelt is over 6 miles long and reaches a maximum depth of approximately 130 feet. The water is crystal clear as the lake is spring fed, and it's the most refreshing lake to swim in.
- Pros:Tiny town that has all you need when you hop off your boat!
- Cons:Sometimes you've got to wait a few minutes for a space to park your boat.
- In a nutshell:My favorite little town in Minnesota. I never visit my cabin without visiting Outing.

RELATED: Vindy.com to launch fracking page
By Karl Henkel
Residents of the placid, open farmland in western Mahoning County are no strangers to oil and gas drilling.
Back in the 1970s, in the shallow Clinton Sandstone, drilling took off, and hundreds of wells popped up in cornfields, backyards and along state routes.
Those wells still stand today.
Some swing and sway, mimicking their wind-blown corn-stalk neighbors.
Others have rusted, frozen in time, representing a dried-up natural-energy rush.
Now there is a new rush, known to many as the Utica and Marcellus shales.
And with that boom comes large derricks, industrial truck traffic and environmental worries about horizontal fracturing.
But along the quiet, rural stretches of county roads in Milton, Berlin and Goshen townships, panic isn't as manifested as one might think.
"We've had wells for years," said Charles Swindler, superintendent of Western Reserve Schools.
In fact, it has brought some excitement, community improvements and economic opportunity to this trio of townships.
"I think everybody is cautiously optimistic," said Harold Campbell, a local farmer and Milton Township trustee. "I think it's going to be something big."
Milton's shale experience should provide a blueprint for the rest of the county when it comes to the next big Mahoning Valley industry.
Until then, the mystique surrounding the oil and gas uprising has brought much curiosity.
Drawing interest
On an unseasonably warm mid-November Sunday morning, Dave Harless and his dog, an Akita named Snoop, took their usual walk through Milton.
Beginning from their house on Creed Road, they traveled north on Newton Falls Road.
Just like any other day, they took a few seconds to stop and look at Mahoning County's first Utica and Marcellus shale drilling operation.
"They've had about 10 different rigs there," he said, pointing in the direction of the already-fracked well.
Fracking is a process where water, chemicals and sand are blasted into rocks deep below the ground to unlock natural oil and gas.
The process, used for more than a half-century, has come under fire for potential
environmental risks.
But residents such as Harless are confident that drilling companies are taking the correct steps to ensure safety and prosperity for the entire community.
For that reason, drilling has drawn so much interest.
The well has become a pseudo tourist attraction, with residents as far south as Columbiana County flocking to see the operation.
They often leave disappointed, however, as the well pad is nestled behind a couple of old barns, in a cleared-out field a few hundred feet from the road.
Harless has tried to pry info from some of the site workers, but they "haven't really said a whole lot,"
leaving him and others to rely on rumors and speculation.
"Nobody really knows much about it," Harless said.
Land leases
David Geatches, a lifelong farmer and General Motors Lordstown retiree, does know a little about the operation.
The Milton well is on one of his properties along Newton Falls Road.
He doesn't like his name publicized, a difficult stipulation considering his name is plastered on a big white sign in front of the well pad.
Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. names wells after the landowner.
The well name is probably the most fame he'll get.
Unlike landowners who signed meaty leases with drilling giants for thousands per acre, Geatches couldn't capitalize on that opportunity.
When he and his brother bought a 127-acre plot of land next to the multigenerational family farm, Columbia Oil already had drilling rights "held by production."
Held by production is a legal term that says as long as a well produces, the lease remains valid. If there was no production, Geatches could have signed directly with Chesapeake or through a landowner advocacy group such as the Associated Landowners of the Ohio Valley.
As it turned out, Columbia flipped the lease to Chesapeake.
When Chesapeake approached Geatches about a possible well, he agreed, but with a couple of conditions.
The well couldn't be in the middle of his cornfield, and water that he gets from a well needed to be tested before the start of operations.
Chesapeake complied with both requests.
In fact, the company has complied with all of Geatches' requests.
"They've done what they said they were going to do," he said. "I'm OK with it so far."
Geatches, who still will receive royalties of 15 percent based on production, peers out of the window of his two-story home about two or three times each day "whenever I hear a noise," he said.
It is more about his curiosity, as the sounds have remained minimal.
"I haven't lost any sleep," he said.
Drilling activities
The Milton well is the only drilled well in the county, but that title will not last long.
Not more than a dozen miles south, along state Route 534, sits a plot of land that is scheduled to see four separate drilling operations in a 3-mile radius soon.
Two of those drilling spots sit on land owned by Bob Jarvis on Calla Road in Goshen Township.
Jarvis, like Geatches, is no stranger to drilling — and that's a valid description even without meeting the man.
The winding, rocky commute up Jarvis' half-mile long driveway gives a glimpse of past drilling activity.
There's a crude petroleum barrel protruding from a wooded area about the half-mile marker and a Clinton gas-well pump near the end of the driveway.
Jarvis could not be reached on multiple occasions; county records show he hasn't leased his land for drilling, meaning he most likely acquired the land with a lease intact.
But the interesting aspect isn't the road to Jarvis' house, but the roads surrounding his property, specifically West Calla Road.
For those who haven't driven the narrow, shoulderless, two-lane road recently, a return visit may be a surprise.
Chesapeake recently hired subcontractors to repave the road — with county approval, said Marilyn Kenner, chief deputy engineer — in anticipation of the pounding the pavement will take from the endless lines of oversized trucks.
The county recently put together a road maintenance agreement that calls for drilling companies to repair roads in advance of drilling activities.
Chesapeake has already upgraded Calla Road between state Route 534 and just east of Seacrist Road through a process called reclamation. During that process asphalt is pulverized, topped with a layer of dry cement and then coated with a thick coat of new asphalt.
That agreement, however, wasn't in place for the Milton drilling, and the truck traffic destroyed a stretch of County Line Road just off Interstate 76.
"They didn't follow the prescribed route," Campbell said. "That was our only complaint."
Chesapeake, however, fixed that span and will also repave Newton Falls Road when it ceases heavy operations.
It's a windfall for local residents and county engineers like Kenner, who can have roads resurfaced at no cost to taxpayers.
"Otherwise," Kenner said, "these roads would not have been redone."
Western Reserve
Splitting the difference between the two drilling hot spots is Berlin, a 25-square mile township of approximately 2,200 residents.
It's home to Western Reserve Schools, a district of about 850 students, all of whom will be housed in one central school on U.S. Route 224 come December.
It will be geothermal-equipped, and the district already has made news for installing wind turbines.
Now, it has leased its 114-acre plot of land to Chesapeake for five years and will receive $2,250 per acre — more than $250,000 — in up-front bonus payments.
That money will help to offset $380,000 in state budget cuts to the district over the next two years, school officials say.
It will receive royalties of 17.5 percent for any oil and gas produced from wells on a production unit that is not to exceed 1,250 acres.
(That means the district, which has 9 percent of the 1,280-acre plot, will receive 1.6 percent of oil- and gas- production value.)
Swindler said that the district opted to lease the land after realizing oil and gas companies had gobbled up surrounding properties. It negotiated directly with Chesapeake.
As with any drilling operations, environmental concerns have surfaced,
especially about drinking water and well placement.
But Western Reserve signed its lease only after requiring special stipulations.
A drilling operation can't be within 500 feet of any facility — the standard distance is 300 feet — and Chesapeake cannot drill on the acreage's protected grasslands.
"There's not much on our property we could use with the football field and the schools," Swindler said.
The contract with Chesapeake also stipulates that if water on the property becomes contaminated, Chesapeake will be required to provide a clean water source for faculty, staff and students.
But the environmental concerns haven't caused any backlash from parents, Swindler said.
"I thought I'd be getting calls on it, but I haven't had one," he said. "Especially since I won't have to ask for more money from the taxpayers."
Jobs and economy
The negativity surrounding oil and gas drilling doesn't appear to be coming from western Mahoning County.
It seems to be coming in the more heavily populated areas, among "city folk" as some residents described it.
Most residents, including Harless, think its important for the area to embrace drilling.
"I think this is needed," he said, "for American jobs and the economy."
Harless has yet to sign an oil and gas lease on his property, but would consider it "if the money's right."
The money tree that is Chesapeake isn't likely to shed foliage anytime soon.
The company that has already bought or leased hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Eastern Ohio has said the region could be worth $15 billion to $20 billion in benefits.
It has offered bonus payments of at least $2,250 per acre in most areas and royalties near 20 percent.
Campbell has capitalized on that opportunity, leasing most of his 250 acres to Chesapeake. He and other township officials are looking into the prospect of leasing township land in hopes of upgrading facilities such as its 100-plus year-old town hall.
Campbell also hopes the township can change some zoning in areas to promote business growth.
"It's hard to tell what's going to happen," he said. "But they're spending so much money that it's going to big when it starts coming."
Dangerous chemicals being injected into the ground and earthquakes is not my idea of economic progress.
Greedy fools. They need to check just across the border in PA. Ground water destroyed. Hazardous wastes dumped on farm land. Fracting is so terrible the oil companies doing it have to run million dollar propaganda ads to sucker people into doing it.
The drilling boom of the seventies didn't signal doom . The gas produced fueled the industry in the area with a cheap source of fuel and prosperity abounded . With the drilling excitement HAPPY DAYS ARE NEAR AGAIN and PROSPERITY WILL BE HERE AGAIN !
They can drill in my garage if they pay me enough for it! No I am not worried about my water it is already not fit to drink, but is is good for flushing toilets.
I am all for domestic oil and gas rather than importing...BUT...I want to see it done responsibly. I want these oil and gas companies to take the lead in assuring landowners that they care and they will do everything possible to mitigate damage to property, water wells, livestock and people.
I do not want to see oil bubbling out of the ground from broken and rusted out pipes. I do not want to hear hissing gas lines from broken and rusted out fittings, which leads to explosions and fires. I do not want to see oil booms surrounding ponds, rivers, streams and ditches from a spill. I do not want to see oily trucks pulling out of wellhead sites dripping oily fluids and throwing muddy stones all over the road. Muddy Stones that other vehicles pick up and damage their bodies and windshields of passing or following vehicles. I do not want to see oily, grubby, uneducated people working on well sites come to me and ask " um, hey dude, do you'all think I kin go huntin' here", And most of all, I do not want to hear these oil and gas companies tell me ..."you can't prove that we did it".
Snobbish, arrogant and unconcerning oil and gas companies must take responsibility and they must begin to act with concern for propery owners' rights and the rights of all people in the area.
If you are a landowner who is being asked to sign a lease with an oil company, DO NOT sign their standard 2 page lease that leans heavily in their favor. Join a landowners association, such as NELA and use their 30 page lease, which proptects you, your land, your water, your livestock and your neighbors.
Mahoning county new theme songs..
You shook me all night long...

highpoint, the problem with natural gas vehicles is the availability of fueling stations. There are already gas utility vehicles operating natural gas. Going with your idea, the way to do it is to start changing city vehicles over to LNG powered vehicles as the need for replacement arises. Much cleaner than conventional gas or diesel.
Remember, when autos first came on the scene fueling stations were only located near cities, and it spread from there with farmers being one of the first groups to utilize fuel storage tanks.
When you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight you pay the price. I wouldn't be surprised if the natural gas went to China.
You are correct as the fuel cells needed for an ordinary family auto is not very practical. However, for fleet lines and trucks, natural gas is going to be the fuel. This industry, combining diesel and natural gas, is getting ready to take off.

News of the World.... Big... On... Boxing...
I missed the weekend fights, I was organising parties and ****, so I'm not going to comment on the actual fights as I didn't see them.
So today, I sat in work and played around on the internet for a bit hoping to catch up on the many fights over the weekend: Gatti, Paul Williams, RJJ etc so I thought I'd start with the British scene. I don't know why I do it but if I miss fights, I'll have a look at the newspapers first: tabloids and broadsheets before coming on here and finding out what really went on.
It makes for a staggering read. The average punter that attends a boxing show will read the tabloids: News of the World (Big on boxing), the Sun, Mirror etc.. Although we had a Brit challenging for a world title, I struggled to find anything for a while in the News of the World: 3 sentances at the end of a massive Amir Khan piece. Also, no mention of a boxer (Small, undefeated in 17 fights - 4 more than Khan) in a good domestic dust up for a Commonwealth title with Pryce. All of the papers continued in a similar fashion.
I appreciate celebrity sells more papers than achievement but there is no hope for boxing (the same can be said for many sports) in this country if the media do not report responsibly and fights get moved to a channel most people haven't even heard of. There has been no official report in any major paper that I've seen about Calzaghe-Kessler being official. This must be one of the biggest and most significant fights a British boxer has been involved in the last few years yet it is simply overlooked.
Mainstream boxing is ****ed up in the UK. The following is written by Ron Lewis of the Times:
How boy from Boltoncan be a world champion
Before Saturday's bout, bookmakers made Amir Khan a seemingly generous 6-1 to fulfil his intention of becoming a world champion by the end of 2008. Despite his win, those odds are likely to be longer as Khan's career goes back to the drawing-board. Here is a possible blueprint for Khan's journey to world honours:
October 6, Nottingham Suggested opponent: David Stewart
Khan's next bout was always likely to be a defence of his newly won Commonwealth title. But he needs an opponent who is likely to box, rather than a "banger".
December: Graham Earl
The former British champion is clever and determined, but his loss to Michael Katsidis for the WBO title in February showed that he was easy to hit. A win would gain Khan a high world ranking.
March 2008: Patrick Malinga
This South African boxed Alex Arthur in 2003 but has a decent record, could box for the Commonwealth title and would teach Khan to box against a different style of opponent.
June 2008: Yuri Romanov
The European champion from Belarus looked like a dazzling young talent but was outworked by Earl last year. A European title would confirm Khan's world ranking.
September 2008: Stefano Zoff
Although he would be 42, the ageing former world champion from Italy would still be capable of testing Khan.
December 2008: Stevie Johnston
This would be a brave match against a brilliant former world champion, who has seen better days but would be a huge name on Khan's record.
March 2009: A world title eliminator
By now Khan should have options about which title to aim for. The advantage of having multiple world champions is that an unsuitable opponent would not be forced on him.
July 2009 World title bout
Just underneath this article: "
Nicky Cook, from Dagenham, was knocked down five times before being counted out in the eleventh round against Steven Luevano for the vacant WBO featherweight title. Luevano, from California, was too quick for Cook, who was finished off by some vicious body punches. Matt Skelton won his rematch with Michael Sprott by a majority points decision, but the bout was an ugly maul of a contest and many spectators walked out."
It's a sad state of affairs. It's no wonder some genuine boxing fans look for the Khan's and Harrison's of this world to fail. They don't deserve this much coverage until they've done something that warrants it. The general public have no idea who Hatton or Calzaghe are but they know Amir Khan.

Denim Brands
Mott & Bow Denim
There is a new denim brand on the scene, Mott & Bow Denim, which launched in Spring of this year. It's a premium and affordable men's denim collection that embodies a modern, clean yet sophisticated feel, ushering quiet confidence.
Mott & Bow's #denimscience utilizes the finest denim fabrics from the best mills in the world to produce a superior fit and distinct washes. The collection includes 6 styles in 4 different washes, but they just also released the Thompson (black denim) and Horatio (grey denim), but will have new washes coming too!
Designed in the heart of Chelsea in New York City and made in Honduras from Turkish fabrics, they are the naysayers of $200 jeans. Mott & Bow was created for the nonconformist looking for superior quality at a bold price. Priced at $96 per pair, Mott & Bow is sold at mottandbow.com and offers a home try on program where customers can choose another size to try on and can return the extra pair using the free shipping label included. Cool right?
The designer, Alejandro Chahin's, appreciation for denim began at his first job, counting buttons at his father's denim facility in Honduras at the age of 13. He spent years learning every facet of his family's denim business from fabric sourcing to the fine artisan finishes. At the age of 28, Alejandro's entrepreneurial vision came to fruition with the launch of Mott & Bow, a collection of modern denim available at an affordable price. Inspired by two streets in lower Manhattan that exemplify cool simplicity and a free spirit nature, Mott & Bow was born. So guys, what do you think of this new brand?
True Religion Be So Bold Campagin
As part of their brand re-launch, True Religion has released their Be So Bold campaign, which celebrates Fearless Style. The campaign invites wearers to showcase their fearless style by posting photos of themselves on Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms, using #BeSoBold and #Entertowin. True Religion will highlight the best entries and feature on their Facebook, a grand prize winner, who will receive a $1,000 shopping spree.
The campaign is part of True Religion's revamped collection, which will feature a fearless style of new silhouettes and fabrics while still retaining the brand's signature stitching and details. The new collection will be available for purchase in stores this month. You can learn more on their website Truereligion.com.
J Brand x Robb Pruitt
J Brand's latest collaboration is a bit different than some of their past collections, this time the brand has teamed up with artist Robb Pruitt. The two have teamed up to create a collection of jeans and jackets with the artist's signature gradient colors.
J Brand's president explained, "Working with Rob made us think outside of the box and try things that have never have been done before. We feel this collaboration adds to a whole new perspective of denim, reinventing denim, outside of indigo. We are excited to see the influence of his degrade onto our product, and looking forward to seeing people wearing it."
The collection will be available for purchase in select Barney's stores starting October 15th and Robb Pruitt will be in select stores in Los Angles and New York creating custom pairs.

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disorder with characteristic von Willebrand factor (VWF)-rich microthrombi affecting the arterioles and capillaries of multiple organs. The disorder frequently leads to early death unless the patients are treated with plasma exchange or infusion. Studies in the last decade have provided ample evidence to support that TTP is caused by deficiency of a plasma metalloprotease, ADAMTS13. When exposed to high shear stress in the microcirculation, VWF and platelets are prone to form aggregates. This propensity of VWF and platelet to form microvascular thrombosis is mitigated by ADAMTS13, which cleaves VWF before it is activated by shear stress to cause platelet aggregation in the circulation. Deficiency of ADAMTS13, due to autoimmune inhibitors in patients with acquired TTP and mutations of the ADAMTS13 gene in hereditary cases, leads to VWF–platelet aggregation and microvascular thrombosis of TTP. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of TTP, address the ongoing controversies, and indicate the directions of future investigations.

ODT Online
ODT /directory
The Ministry of Social Development, which took over social
housing allocation from Housing New Zealand on Monday, has
posted detailed rules on its website which are far more
transparent than HNZ ever was.
They include the first clear income and asset limits for
social housing: net income after tax below $550.41 a week for
single people and $846.78 for people with partners and/or
children, and cash assets below $40,231.
They also list rules to determine the suitability of a
family's housing, including the number of accessible bedrooms
per person. Cars, 'caves', sheds, public places and living
areas within a house, are not considered accessible bedrooms.
A caravan is "one accessible bedroom", suitable for a couple
or for two siblings of the same sex, but not for opposite-sex
siblings aged 10 or over.
Top priority for allocating social housing will be given to
families whose housing is three or more bedrooms below their
needs, earning four points and going straight into "category
A" if they also have at least two points on other criteria
such as affordability of their current housing or
"difficulties in social functioning".
Two bedrooms short earn three points. One bedroom short earns
two points, which is unlikely to be enough by itself to
qualify for social housing.
Salvation Army housing analyst Alan Johnson said the new
system appeared to be very systematic and did not leave much
room for discretion - "which I don't think is necessarily a
bad thing ... I think the system looks quite robust."
Auckland City Mission worker Wilf Holt said he had never
found anyone living in a cave in Auckland, but homeless
people often made their own "caves" under bridges.
