RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Most companies don't want you to know what's in their scented consumer products, and they do a good job at keeping that information a secret. That is, until Anne Steinemann starts snooping around. Steinemann, a PhD and professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington, might as well be dubbed the lead detective of the fragrance police, thanks to her efforts over the last few years in disclosing toxic chemicals in everything from laundry detergent and dryer sheets to shampoo and air fresheners. Her latest report finds that even household products that are marketed as natural or "green" in fact contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have been linked to migraines, asthma attacks, seizures, and even loss of consciousness in the past. The report appears in the Environmental Impact Assessment Review.
THE DETAILS: In the study, Steinemann and colleagues studied the VOC emissions from 25 popular fragranced products, including detergent, dryer sheets, fabric softener, soaps, hand sanitizer, lotions, deodorant, shampoo, baby shampoo, cleaners, dish detergent, and air fresheners. "Of all the products tested, there's not a single one I think is safe," Steinemann says.
Specifically, researchers found that nearly half of the tested fragranced products emitted carcinogens. Of the 133 different chemicals detected, about 25 percent were classified as toxic or hazardous.
Citrus-scented limonene was the most common emission, and Steinemann contends that both the natural and lab versions of this chemical release VOCs. When limonene reacts with ozone in the air, it creates formaldehyde. Pine scents and acetone, a solvent found in nail polish remover, were also detected. "We don't know about intentionality, but we do know that they're in products," says Steinemann, noting that their presence could be a result of solvents or other petrochemical-based ingredients.
Steinemann says she doesn't disclose the names of the products she's tested because she doesn't want people to think that other brands she didn't test are safe. She would have released the names of the few bad actors, except that across the board, she found they all are emit seriously toxic compounds.

Ondaroad Hostel is good, but it is very different from your standard hostel experience. It basically is the owner's home. There aren't any lockers to store your things, but given the size and environment of the hostel they aren't needed. The negative points of are the lack of wi-fi for the guests and the location. The owner is willing to give rides, but it helps to have access to a car. However it is very easy to get to the beach. Positive points: clean, plus a fun and social environment.

Great little hostel by the sea! Martina, the owner, was very friendly when she picked me up from the station, and continued to be a fantastic host throughout! She showed me the best beaches, best gelato, aperitivo etc in the area. The dorm room is nicely decorated with its own bathroom. The hostel has a good kitchen, living room, and garden - complete with hammocks and fantastic seating area too. Overall a very pleasant hostel - it felt like just going home! And the area is lovely, don't m

The World Cup in Brazil is coming up this June and who better to unveil the U.S.A.'s team away uniforms than Diplo, HAIM, and Spike Lee? All obvious choices! JK. We're not really sure why they were selected but they all do a great job of modeling the red, white, and blue jersey. You can shop the top now over at Nike's site for a cool $150.

With the UK Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm having already been hit by the early retirement of the BAE Systems Harrier GR9 fleet late last year, its supporters are growing increasingly concerned that its Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) is also at risk.
An internet-based lobby group named The Navy Campaign is encouraging backers to lobby MPs and ministers to safeguard the future of the CHF, and to see through a proposal to replace its Westland Sea Kings (below) with AW101 Merlins now flown by the Royal Air Force. The latter would be modified from the HC3/3A standard to a Mk 4 configuration more suited for naval operations.
Plans to transfer the RAF's Merlins hinge on an order being approved for a further 12 Boeing CH-47 Chinooks, but speculation has increased over the last several weeks that this could be at risk during the Ministry of Defence's Planning Round 2011 process.
"If the CHF were to miss out on the promised upgrades and the intended transfer, the Fleet Air Arm will drop below critical mass," the campaign group warns. "At this stage, it will become much easier for opponents to argue against its continued existence."
It notes that the organisation's personnel are specialists in embarked operations and in supporting operations by the Royal Marines, which it says distinguishes it from the RAF's rotorcraft community.
RN Sea Kings are operating from Camp Bastion and Kandahar airfield as part of the UK's Joint Force Helicopter (Afghanistan) organisation. The type is used during the deployment and extraction of UK and coalition forces and to perform tasks such as resupplying forward operating bases.
The Joint Helicopter Command revealed details about the troop-lift potential of its current assets in January, during the UK exercise Pashtun Jaguar. The Sea King can carry between five and 12 passengers in Afghanistan, depending on seasonal conditions, while the more powerful Merlin (above) can transport between 12 and 20, it says.

The last chance for justice for Nancy Smith, who served years in prison for molesting preschoolers despite mountains evidence that she was innocent, rests for Gov. John Kasich.
Smith is a former Head Start bus driver in Lorain. She was convicted of transporting preschoolers to a man who abused them. She served 14 years in prison. She finally was freed from prison when a Lorain county judge named James Burge became convinced she was innocent and acquitted her. The judge, after sticking his neck out for justice, was slapped down by the Ohio Supreme Court.
The Parole Board voted 9-2 to recommend denying her request for a pardon, although the final decision rests with the governor.
I have posted a copy of the report, which covers both sides, so judge for yourself. Here is an interesting sentence: "The jury did not hear testimony from witnesses, such as bus aides and parent volunteers, who would confirm that the applicant always had an aide or parent on the bus and would verify that the children were dropped off at school and nothing improper happened."
Here is another interesting passage: "Former lead detective Tom Cantu believes that the applicant is innocent. In addition, during the presentation of Judge James Burge at the clemency hearing, he indicated that after the applicant's case was assigned to him after the defense filed a resentencing motion, he reviewed the trial transcript to understand what she had done and to determine if she was deserving of the maximum sentence. He found the trial testimony unbelievable, so he decided to review the investigatory materials. After doing such, he concluded that the applicant was convicted on events that could not have occurred and believes that the applicant is innocent, not just 'not guilty.' Judge Burge indicated that he is ashamed of her conviction, and became very emotional during his presentation. In response to a question as to why he had not yet resentenced the applicant as ordered by the Ohio Supreme Court two years prior, Judge Burge indicated that both the defense counsel and the prosecutor asked him not to do so." (A plea deal spared her from having to go back to prison.)
This case is a major fail for both the Ohio Supreme Court and the Parole Board, which could have provided Kasich political cover by making a courageous but correct decision. (The two parole board members who bucked the majority and voted to recommend a pardon are Richard Cholar Jr. and R.F. Rauschenberg. Good for them.)
The Plain Dealer's Rachell Dissell (best known for helping to solve an old murder case) has done good work on the Smith case. Check out her story about the accuser who now doubts anything occurred. She also wrote a story about the Lorain police chief admitting the case was bogus.
I would point out one additional angle: The Lorain case isn't an isolated case. It was part of a nationwide pattern of sending innocent people to prison for sex crimes against children, fed by a moral panic and improper questioning of children. (The Wall Street Journal's Dorothy Rabinowitz won a Pulitzer Prize largely for her work on the issue.) Ohio apparently was swept up in the trend, and now has one last chance to right a wrong.
I'm not optimistic about the governor's decision, but we'll see. (That's not a criticism of the governor, but if Nancy Smith didn't have bad luck, she'd have no luck at all.) I'll do a follow-up post when the decision is announced.

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Les Discrets Issues Studio Update
LES DISCRETS, the solo project of Fursy Teyssier (Alcest, Amesoeurs), is currently residing at Drudenhaus studio, France, to record his debut album. Fursy: "We finished the recording by the end of last week, and the album sounds reeeallly reallly good. Definitely something to look forward to for you! The album gathers songs that were composed spanning the last years, starting from 2003 to February 2009. This is a collection of the best songs I composed so far!"
The release of the yet untitled album is tentatively scheduled for autumn 2009 via Prophecy.
Alcest To Record New Album
From July 27th, Alcest will be in Markus Stock's Klangschmiede Studio E for three weeks to record the follow-up to their debut album, "Souvenirs D'Un Autre Monde." Mixing and mastering will be done in September at French Drudenhaus Studio. The new, as-yet-untitled record, will consist of six tracks - including new versions of both songs from the deleted EP, "Le Secret," and clock in at around 55 minutes.
Les Discrets Signs with Prophecy Productions
Les Discrets, the solo project founded by Fursy Teyssier (Alcest, Amesoeurs) in 2003, steps forth from its Myspace existence into the light of day.
"'Les Discrets' (engl.: the discreet ones) are those creatures that live in nature and who bring nature to life, the ones who make the leaves move, who put dew on the flowers each morning, who throw the pollen in the air ... That's a parallel life that we are not able to see, but that many of us can feel. The project's concept is pervaded by this perception of nature as well as my existential questions, especially about the feelings of love and death, as I always found a parallel between nature and human life and love," Fursy outlines the concept of Les Discrets.
Les Discrets has just signed a five-album contract with Prophecy Productions. The release of the project's as-yet-untitled debut album is tentatively scheduled for autumn 2009.
Amesoeurs Completes New Album
France's AMESOEURS (featuring Neige of ALCEST and award winning animation filmmaker Fursy Teyssier of LES DISCRETS) has completed work on their debut album, simply titled "Amesoeurs."
Amesoeurs' self-titled debut full-length is being released in North America by Profound Lore (Code666 in Europe), following the band's highly praised and acclaimed 2007 "Ruines Humaines" EP.
Formed by Neige and vocalist Audrey Sylvain in 2004, Amesoeurs is a bleak, violent, melancholic, suffocating, desolate vision, one brimming with negativity and despair. Through their music, Amesoeurs portray a world of urban decay, a lifeless wasteland and a dark realm that becomes all too real in an age of social decay.
By mixing elements of harsh melancholic black metal, post-punk and '80s new wave influenced heavily by acts like JOY DIVISION, early CURE, and DEPECHE MODE, "Amesoeurs" is an album that mixes elements for each of the aforementioned genres into one mind-numbing and unrelenting sonic journey where each song translates into a different expression which all weave together.
The tracklisting for "Ameoeurs" is as follows: More...
Alcest Album To Get N. American Release
Profound Lore Productions has announced that they will be releasing the North American edition of the new album from France's ALCEST, 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde.' The label goes on to describe the deal and Alcest's debut full-length album:
"In co-operation with Prophecy Productions, Alcest has been a band that we've been quite obsessed (and that's lightly putting it) with for the last while, especially considering we're great admirers of pretty much anything sole-mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Neige is involved in (be it in PESTE NOIRE, MORTIFERA, and more recently the wonder known as AMESOEURS)."
"Nevertheless, with Neige being one of the most accomplished musicians within France's black metal scene, he has already made an immense impression with Alcest from the first demo (which was pretty much nestled in black metal and was Neige's first plunge into the genre likewise), to the magnificent debut EP 'Le Secret'."
"Although 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde', Alcest's long-awaited debut full-length, treads much further from Alcest's black metal origins, the pure expression that has defined Alcest - and Neige as a musician - flourishes in full-force with this moving and emotionally driven work. To listen to 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde' (which translates into Memories Of Another World) is to experience a world free of pain, darkness, and despair, and to enter a kingdom of beauty and harmony. The scenario that such an album paints is one where pure joy and happiness triumph through waves of intense cascading light, where innocence prevails, and where the longing for nostalgia reigns supreme. The best way to describe 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde': overwhelming."
The tracklisting for "Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde" is as follows:
1. Printemps Emeraude
2. Sounvenirs D'un Autre Monde
3. Les Iris
4. Ciel Errant
5. Sur L'autre Rive Je T'attendrai
6. Tir Nan Og
Look for 'Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde' to be released in North America early-mid August.
You can hear some material from the band's forthcoming album on their MySpace page and/or download and MP3 of the track "Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde" here.

Lagos — DR. Mfon Amana,member of the Governing Council of the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), has called on the federal government to encourage mass participation in education delivery by setting up a legal framework for adequate private sector participation.
Amana, a participant at the four-day World Education Market (WEM) holding in Lisbon, Portugal, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that, the legal framework should be able to pave the way for the private sector to meaningfully invest in the country's future.
"Education should not be seen as an exclusive special preserved of government alone but as an all inclusive challenge to invest in the future for our country," he said, adding: "Government should begin to see its role more in setting standards and enforcing standards, rather than seeing itself as sole investor."
He said that once the legal framework was in place, the private sector would be consequently empowered to do its necessarily measured in monetary terms of its benefits to be the individual, society and organizations. "The rest of the World is no longer seeing education as social service alone but as an investment. We must change our minds on this." Amana said.
"Missionaries of various religious denominations should be further encouraged and empowered to invest in education, he said, stressing: "Prospective investors in education should be encouraged to go into information Communication Technology (ICT) by granting them various incentives."
Amana who noted that ICT was fastly becoming the basic tool in education, especially in the promotion of electronic-learning, called on government to put a policy in place to foster the use of ICT in education. He said that the government should also consider entering bilateral agreements with more developed countries to facilitate exchanges in building of digital libraries, Information Technology (IT) and computers.
Calling on the government to do more in IT development,. Amana stressed that government's commitment and determination were the dependent variables in the project, and not the amount of money involved.

Celine Dion Concert Adds Tomorrows with CF Foundation
January 28, 2013
Celine Dion sings "Lullaby" at a special benefit concert at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The once-in-a-lifetime event raised $1.5 million for the CF Foundation. Photo by Denise Truscello.
Adding Tomorrows with Celine Dion raised $1.5 million and brought together leaders in the fight against cystic fibrosis, including devoted friends of the Milestones major giving campaign, dedicated volunteers and families affected by the disease.
"We couldn't have asked for a more spectacular event. Being together with wonderful friends who are committed to finding a cure for CF while in the presence of the legendary Celine Dion was just incredible," said Joe O'Donnell, chair of the CF Foundation's Milestones II campaign.
Dion has been devoted to the CF Foundation's mission for decades and serves as the National Celebrity Patron for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The international pop star lost her sixteen-year-old niece, Karine, to CF in 1993.
Prior to the performance, VIP guests were treated to an exclusive welcome reception with Dion, where they were able to witness her pre-concert sound check and have a group photo taken with the singing icon.
During her performance, Dion sang "Lullaby" while a photo collage of people with CF was displayed before the audience. The emotional moment honored all those touched by the disease while further raising awareness about CF and the fight for a cure.
"We were blessed and truly grateful to be graced by Celine's incredible talents and generous help to raise awareness for our mission to cure CF," said C. Richard Mattingly, executive vice president and COO of the CF Foundation. "This was a remarkable evening that brought together major donors and allowed us to make new friends eager to help add more tomorrows for those living with this disease."

This is the second portion of a two-part work on the struggle to eliminate the color barrier for suffrage in California. The first volume, Sheila Skjeie's California and the Fifteenth Amendment, recounts the creation of the "whites only" voting restriction in the state's original 1849 constitution and the subsequent struggle by blacks to acquire suffrage during the 1850s and 1860s, an effort complicated by widespread hostility toward the growing Chinese population in the state. Her volume culminates with the California legislature's rejection in early 1870 of the Fifteenth Amendment, the voting rights amendment proposed by Radical Republicans during Reconstruction. The subsequent ratification of the amendment by three-fourths of the state legislatures banned racial discrimination in voting throughout the nation, including California. Until that volume is placed on this web page, it may be available on interlibrary loan from California State University - Sacramento.
Vol. II describes the events of 1870 within California after President Ulysses S. Grant announced ratification of the amendment. The celebrations, while joyous affairs, led to controversy in the state's press over an issue of social equality that arose in their wake. While blacks celebrated, many leading Democrats looked for ways to prevent black registration and voting. In some counties Democratic county clerks refused to register any but whites. A Congressional act to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment finally put an end to Democratic resistance to extension of the right to vote. In the end, California's African Americans were among the first to cast ballots in those non-Confederate states that had restricted suffrage to "whites only."
Throughout Vol. II the ethnic group that is the primary subject of this study is referred to as African Americans or blacks. In the numerous quotations taken from contemporary news accounts and editorials, however, other terms, in many cases derogatory, are used in referring to African Americans, Native American Indians and Chinese. While those terms would not be acceptable today, their unedited use here permits the reader to feel the emotion, in some cases dripping with racial animosity, and to read the anti-black, anti-Indian and anti-Chinese arguments as offered by the authors in their own words. No attempt has been made to sanitize nineteenth century attitudes.
By necessity this volume relies heavily on the California press of 1870. Despite an intensive search in state and county archives and in major research libraries, very little in the form of public records or personal papers related to implementation of the Fifteenth Amendment in California remains. The Mandeville papers at the Huntington Library contain no reference to the "Mandeville Manifesto" or to anything else relevant to his opposition to registration of blacks. Nor do the Haight papers, also at Huntington, hold anything of importance. Neither the state archives nor the office of state attorney general have any of the communiques sent by Jo Hamilton to county clerks in his effort to thwart black registration. No significant African American material, in the form of letters, diaries, organizational minutes or other items that might shed light on the struggle to register and vote, has as yet turned up. While an abbreviated version of Judge Ignacio Sepulveda's decision in Green v. Mott is to be found in court records at the Huntington Library, the only complete account of his decision comes from the local press.
Consequently, the press is the principal source currently available. Forty daily and weekly papers from various parts of the state, from Lassen, Siskiyou and Trinity counties in the north to San Diego in the south, provided most of the information included here. A debt of gratitude is owed to the State Library at Sacramento and to the newspaper room at the University of California, Berkeley, both of which willingly loaned their newspaper microfilm to facilitate this research. The staff at the Interlibrary Loan Office at Cal Poly Pomona made these loans possible.
While there are obvious disadvantages in using an electronic book, one of its assets is the ability to correct errors. A mistake in a print volume stands forever, much to the regret of the author. Readers are encouraged to call any errors in this volume to the attention of the authors so that they may be corrected. We can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.

He wrestled for Ukraine at Atlanta Olympics and placed 7th. Then he moved to Russia and won Olympics in 2000. In the interview he says he never felt comfortable wrestling for Ukraine and he felt he needed to come back to Russia to do well.
He also says: "If you wrestle for Turkey or America, or some other country like that, then their hymn plays when you win. I don't like that. I want to hear the Russian hymn playing when I win."

In the past 10 years, I watched this action 10.000 times. I have no explaination why Murtazaliev not only didn't try to pin Heydari, but also helped him to turn on his belly. Maybe only Murtazaliev can give the answer.

This set would be such an amazing hand-me-down, especially as each oak ball builds up its own unique patina. If you think this set is as beautiful as I do, click over to Avo Bocce's Kickstarter page and stake your claim.
This is a beautiful set! I hope they reach their goal!

Select Local Merchants
BoomersRead MoreAt Boomers!, thrill-seeking families and fun-enabling friends can attack a variety of appealing attractions, including mini golf, batting cages, bumper boats, and the button-mashing joys housed inside the exhilarating game room. The Vista location entertains families of sharpshooters with a blacklight-illuminated laser-tag arena before little ones climb and crawl through the Kidopolis play area. The El Cajon and San Diego locations let rivals celebrate the spirit of competition as they fly past each other in speedy go-karts or have a snail-paced Ferris wheel race at the kid's county fair. Unlimited pass holders at the El Cajon location can also scale the 32-foot-tall climbing wall, which, like America, enables citizens to climb to the top via myriad routes.1700 NW 1st StDania, FL US
International Game Fish AssociationRead MoreTo beat the all-tackle world record for a yellowfin tuna, you'd have to hook a behemoth weighing in the neighborhood of 450 pounds. Should any angler ever successfully snag such a fish, the record keepers of the International Game Fish Association will be among the first to announce the catch's confirmed stature. As part of their mission to conserve all types of game fish and to promote ethical angling practices, the IGFA representatives also advise fishermen on how to bring the catch ashore, verify its measurements, and release it while causing as little stress to the fish as possible. The association's conservation efforts continue with its IGFA Great Marlin Race program, a partnership with Stanford University that outfits fishermen with research equipment to achieve a better understanding of marlin biology and the cause of pruney fingers. The IGFA also keeps the community engaged with ethical game fishing by hosting school groups and summer camps for kids. Beyond this programming, the IGFA maintains a museum that honors the history of sport fishing and its legendary anglers.300 Gulf Stream WayDania Beach, FL US
The Native VillageRead MoreUpon entering The Native Village, before you even spot a loitering tortoise or run your finger across the scales of a baby alligator, you'll catch a whiff of wood fire. That scent acts as a drifting reminder of the village's purpose, which is to give visitors a glimpse into how the Seminoles lived in the Everglades during the early 1900s. For more than 30 years, The Native Village has educated guests with guided tours and live demonstrations of gator wrestling and snake handling. Today, you can stop by the property's Big Oak habitat, where alligators, caimans, and crocodiles live side by side and, consequently, have to share the same tube of toothpaste. At the Gator Hole, Lunge—a 13-foot, 1,000-pound bull alligator—stuns onlookers but doesn't faze the wrestlers wrangling him into submission with their bare hands. But the village is home to cute creatures, too. You can get your daily dose of awws by visiting Chain Saw the prairie dog, Ghost the fox, and a whole roster of other mammals, reptiles, fish, and fowl that lived alongside the early 20th-century Seminoles.3551 N State Road 7(441)Hollywood, FL US
Galaxy SkatewayRead MoreFrom its North Lauderdale and Davie locations, Galaxy Skateway launches visitors into a vortex of nifty moves, groovy tunes, and wholesome family fun. Throughout the week, both venues crank up energy levels with special events. On Fridays and Saturdays, doors remain open later into the evening, and on Flashback Thursdays, music from the 1970s and 80s helps skaters explore the past without having to spin super fast to induce time travel. But no matter the day or decade, Galaxy always surrounds its guests with an impressive lineup of amenities, including a full-service snack bar, video game areas, a pro shop, and a full fleet of regular and in-line skates, available for rental.3737 Davie Road ExtensionHollywood, FL US
K1 SpeedRead MoreWith hands gripped to the wheels of karts capable of cresting 45 miles per hour, up to 12 racers hum around the hairpin turns and straightaways of K1 Speed's indoor track during adrenaline-spiking sprints toward the podium. This brand of excitement can be found at all 20+ locations, where racers eschew the fumes and inflammatory skywriting of gas kart exhaust for European, eco-friendly electric karts designed to instantly accelerate out of curves, which are bordered by safety barriers that absorb impacts.2950 Stirling Rd.Hollywood, FL US
Xtreme Indoor KartingRead MoreXtreme Indoor Karting's 90,000-square-foot facility buzzes with the energy of Bowman Arrow karts as they whiz between the checkered flags that line the railing of the indoor go-kart track. All sporting Honda engines, three kart models take to the half-mile asphalt stage where child and adult racers show off their skills, reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. The racing theme pervades the facility, including the 18 holes of the indoor miniature golf course, which are peppered with half tires and watered with tears of joy from past Indy 500 winners. More than 100 different interactive games—including racing simulators—flicker inside the arcade, and rows of billiards tables line the black-and-white checkered floors of the Finish Line Sports Bar. Charged with fueling all of these activities, the kitchen staff at the Fast Track Café whip together burgers, wraps, and pizzas. For kid's-only entertainment, the staff supervise a day camp throughout the summer months, when all of the country's teachers traditionally lose their keys to the school.5300 Powerline Rd.Fort Lauderdale, FL US

A nation waits
Kiwi rugby pundit James Gemmell looks at what the 2011 World Cup will mean for hosts New Zealand.
Last Updated: 07/09/11 2:42pm
It's been almost six years since New Zealand won the hosting rights to the Rugby World Cup, and just on four since the last global showpiece in France. Now this tiny, rugby-obsessed nation sits poised for its biggest moment in the international spotlight, and it's as ready as it can be.
Rugby is so much a part of the fabric of New Zealand that daily life well beyond the sidelines has been reshaped. Take the education system; central Auckland schools have been given the opening day of the tournament off to experience the occasion, and further down the track, school terms nationwide have been shifted to align with the finals fortnight. Remarkable, and one for the 'only in New Zealand' file.
And who ever said sport and politics don't mix? The next general election has been announced for November, with the current administration banking on an All Black win on October 23rd for a landslide victory of their own just over a month later.
It is this obsession that will separate 2011 from previous World Cup years, and the passion of the people here is what New Zealand's bid back in 2005 was built upon.
The people's tournament
We can't compete with the infrastructure or transport that the larger international cities provide, and we don't have the population to sustain the truly world class stadiums. There will be hiccups; trains will be late, hotels stretched beyond capacity and bars and restaurants unable to meet demand. The organisers have planned for this, and have pushed their preparations as far as responsibly possible. Anyone involved with London's Olympic preparations will know the importance of legacy and sustainability. New Zealand is, after all, a country of just four million.
Eden Park is the prime example. Renovated to the required 65,000 seat capacity, it is an historic stadium that will fulfil its hosting role adequately. But the towering temporary seating scaffolds at either end of the ground are an eyesore that leaves one reminiscing enviously about the magnificent Stade de France.
No, this tournament won't be remembered for the arenas that host the games, but rather for the people that fill them. It's about the small towns that welcome the minnow teams, about the immigrants from the Pacific Islands, England and South Africa that suddenly explode with national pride, and it's about ordinary rugby-loving New Zealanders who have suffered greatly this year. Those in Christchurch need the Rugby World Cup more than most.
In fact, writing with a detachment that will dissolve the minute the first whistle blows, I can't help but draw comparisons between this World Cup and that held in South Africa 16 years ago.
Francois Pienaar's Springboks carried with them the expectation of a nation and the promise of a brighter future. For very different reasons, Richie McCaw's All Blacks face a similar challenge. They are the embodiment of the nation's obsession with the game, and it's on their shoulders that the immense weight of hope and expectation rests.
The rugby will take care of itself, and from Friday on it will take centre stage. Who knows which teams or individuals we'll be talking about in a week, or six weeks. But rest assured the rugby-mad people of New Zealand will star throughout.

Lindsay Lohan could spend eight months in jail if probation is revoked
Lindsay Lohan finds out tomorrow if her probation is being revoked, and she is facing a pretty major punishment if it is. It's being reported that Lohan could spend up to eight months in prison if a judge determines that she has violated the probation instituted after her jewelry heist case.
TMZ is reporting that the probation violation could get Lohan 245 days in prison, and that's not including any jail time she'll incur for lying to police offers following her car accident in June. She is being arraigned Wednesday, and if she is charged, then the judge on the case will revoke her probation and then set another court hearing to "formally decide if Lindsay violated the terms of her probation by breaking the law again."
A source tells the site that the L.A. City Attorney is "out for blood" on this case and want Lohan's probation to be overturned. This news comes not long after Lohan was arrested for assaulting a woman in NYC. Her bank accounts were also recently seized by the IRS for outstanding tax debt.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 13 January 2011 03:20PM
Proctor & Gamble, the owner of Gillette, is a high-profile user of sport stars, including Thierry Henry and Roger Federer, to endorse its products.
The new teaser ads mark the first time that England international Wilkinson, a Gillette brand ambassador since 2008, and Ireland star O'Driscoll, have appeared in the same television ad.
The ads, created by AMV BBDO, will appear on ITV, Sky Sports, ESPN and Channel 4 over the next two weeks.
They will be followed by the launch of a longer version of the ad, which is likely to be accompanied by press and outdoor support.
The ad features the two rugby players surprising unsuspecting rugby fans in a changing room. They ask the fans if they are "ready to take the ProGlide Challenge" and seven hidden cameras capture their stunned reactions, which range from startled to euphoric.
Gillette launches the Fusion ProGile on 25 January and claims that it has thinner blades than Gillette Fusion.
In December last year, Proctor & Gamble dropped Tiger Woods as a brand ambassador for Gillette razors, after revelations that he had a string of extramarital affairs.
Brands are now taking out "disgrace" cover for negative publicity that may be generated by the misbehaviour of celebrities sponsored to represent them.

Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy (1832-4) were a series of twenty-four didactic short tales (with a further volume of summary) whose publication brought her instant success and public notoriety as a writer. In Volume I of her Autobiography she tells the extraordinary story of how she battled to find a publisher, convinced that the public "needed" the series which was designed to teach the principles of political economy by means of illustrative stories set in a variety of social communities. Charles Fox, the publisher who finally accepted the work, was gloomy about its prospects, and imposed harsh terms, which included the requirement that she find subscribers to back her project.

Ruble Advances in Longest Winning Streak to Dollar Since March
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- The ruble advanced for a sixth day, extending its longest winning streak since March against the dollar after European Union diplomats agreed to place an embargo on Iranian oil imports, lifting the price of Russia's main export earner.
The currency gained 1.4 percent to 30.89 per dollar at the 7 p.m. close in Moscow, its biggest advance since Nov. 30. The ruble added 0.6 percent to 40.2625 per euro and rose 1 percent to 35.1076 against the central bank's target dollar-euro basket.
European Union foreign ministers will ban oil imports from Iran starting July 1 as part of measures to ratchet up the pressure on the Persian Gulf nation's nuclear program, Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said. Crude jumped 1.3 percent to $99.73 a barrel in New York.
"The oil story is giving the ruble a boost," Peter Rosenstreich, chief currency analyst at Swissquote Bank SA in Geneva, said by e-mail. "If oil prices increase, net capital outflows should decline."
Capital outflows surged to $37.8 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $33.6 billion for all of 2010. More money has probably been taken out of the country this month, Alexei Ulyukayev, first deputy chairman of Russia's central bank, told reporters in Moscow Jan. 19.
The ruble is also being supported by tax payments that may total 600 billion rubles ($19 billion) this week, Alexei Moiseev, chief economist at VTB Capital in Moscow, said by e-mail. Exporters convert revenues in other currencies into rubles to pay the government, raising demand for the Russian currency.
The yield on Russia's $3.5 billion of bonds due 2020 fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 4.419 percent. Ruble bonds due in 2021 retreated, pushing the yield up one basis point to 8.37 percent.
The ruble has advanced 4.1 percent against the dollar in 2012 after depreciating the most since 2008 last year. Brazil's real has climbed 6.2 percent this year, India's rupee gained 6.3 percent and China's yuan declined 0.2 percent.

We just bought a house and it came with a hot tub. It's a 2006 Marquis Spa that plugs directly into an outlet. The previous owner said it worked just fine but she hadn't used it in the last two years because she didn't want to maintain it. I got it all filled and ready to go, turned it on and ran it on the high jet setting. It ran for 25 min like it's supposed to then went to low to continue the heating process. After two minutes the GFCI on the power cord tripped and shut down the tub. I tried it a few more times and the high setting will continue to run fine but when on low it's two minutes and then off every time. My local hot tub store suggested it was the power cord so I replaced it and still the same thing. I don't really know anything about hot tubs but don't want to spend a bunch of money to have someone come look at it. Thanks for any input!

This could be the heater coming on and then causing the GFCI to trip. I would disconnect the heater and then run the pumps and see if it holds. If so, then you should replace the heater element.
