Big 3 autos improved after Honda began U.S. production in 1982
Everything changed Nov. 3, 1982, when the first U.S.-built Accord rolled off Honda's brand-new assembly line in Ohio.
It was a hugely disruptive moment, though no one in Detroit realized it at the time. The first Japanese "transplant" factory on U.S. soil was intended to replace imports from Japan, but it began a fundamental remaking of the U.S. auto industry.
The Big Three's dominance was doomed.
As shocking and painful as some of the changes were, Detroit's automakers build better cars, run safer and more efficient factories and serve their customers better today because of what Honda started 30 years ago.
"Competition is always ultimately good for the customer," said Jim Hall, managing director of 2953 Analytics. "If it's recognized and addressed, it leads to better products."
The Big Three's 1950s and '60s post-World War II dominance of American automaking was bound to end. For a couple of decades, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors reaped the benefits of a booming domestic economy and a lack of foreign competition as Europe and Japan rebuilt industrial cores that were battered during World War II.
Chrysler, Ford and, particularly, GM soared to unsustainably high market shares because the potential competitors had been bombed to dust and were scrambling to meet demand at home. That began to change in the 1960s, when a few imports caught a minority of American eyes. The process accelerated when the 1970s oil crises created unprecedented demand for small cars.
Suddenly, fuel efficiency mattered to Americans, but the American auto industry couldn't meet that demand. Japanese automakers filled the void, shipping unprecedented numbers of cars across the Pacific.
Detroit went into denial, then concocted a side order of conspiracy theory. Automakers and unions said Japanese automakers had unfair advantages: Japanese government subsidies, lax environmental regulation, complacent workers who were more like cattle than individualistic Americans, trade barriers, currency manipulation, you name it.
Honda's assembly plant in Ohio forced the Detroit Three to quit whining and start competing. Their excuses went out the window when U.S.-made Accords proved to be every bit as good as those from Japan. The difference lay in the cars' engineering and how the factory made them.
"One of the things Americans had to look at was how the Japanese built cars," Hall said. After an initial, misguided and expensive infatuation with robots, U.S. automakers learned the key was designing cars that are easy to build and listening to assembly workers when they said something wasn't working.
Chrysler, Ford and GM refocused on quality, design and innovation because Honda, Nissan and Toyota's U.S. factories and growing sales forced them.

Circuit Vacates Judgment of Acquittal in Structuring Case
Given the facts as recited by the opinion and the exceedingly low standard for sustaining a jury verdict, it is difficult to quarrel with the Court's conclusion. The case is nonetheless peculiar in that (1) the money in question did not come from illegal activity, and (2) the defendant had no apparent motive for wishing to avoid CTR filings. These circumstances of course do not immunize the defendant from prosecution -- the governing statute does not require that the relevant funds derive from criminal activity, and motive is of course not an element of the crime. Nonetheless, MacPherson seems an atypical target for a structuring prosecution.

Scott Horton Interviews Lew Rockwell
Lew Rockwell, founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, discusses the American cultural acceptance of torture, Ron Paul's ability to instill libertarian ideals in young people and the uphill battle to convince Americans that Iran is not a threat.
MP3 here. (17:36)
Lew Rockwell is the founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, Vice President of the Center for Libertarian Studies in Burlingame, California, and publisher of the political Web site LewRockwell.com. He served as Ron Paul's congressional chief of staff between 1978 and 1982. Check out his podcast show here.
18 Responses to "Lew Rockwell"
Speaking of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn….America needs an English translation of his book:
"200 Hundred Years Together"
As soon as possible!
My favorite interviews are those with Lew Rockwell. Always political dynamite!
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by AngelaKeaton, Liberty Pyro. Liberty Pyro said: @AntiwarScott interviews the great @LewRockwell http://bit.ly/cAHD5y #teaparty #wakeup [...]
Unlike the followers of the likes of Bill O'Reilly at least the Russians didn't believe a word that Pravda wrote.
This was a good interview, but Mr. Rockwell should learn how to pronounce the word "nuclear."
Like the old Russian joke says: "There is no Novosti in Pravda and no Pravda in Novosti."
Novosti = News
Pravda = Truth
I find it sad that Russian media today is more informative that US media. I think 'Russia Today' did more interviews with Ron Paul during the 08 election than the rest of the American MSM combined. They were a lot more respectful to him than the US media counter-parts.
Scott, as to your doubt expressed in the interview with Lew that you are not getting through to people with the facts about the Iranian nuclear position, I can definately say that iti is only thyrough your show together with articles by Gareth Porter and others that I have been able to be properly informed and thereby able to challenge others' views.
Thanks for that profound and insightful comment.
Lew's pronunciation is correct. If you don't believe me, ask Homer Simpson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlHEJtflcmo
The FCC must break up the media monopoly by Zionists. That would start the ball rolling to freedom of the press.
Mr. Horton, track down Alfred McCoy (professor at University of Wisconsin, Madison) about torture and the CIA, if you haven't had him on your show already (I know he's been published here).
Good work!
Learn Russian. Knowing a foreign language frees your mind up in many ways. Not the least is the ability to read a foreign newspaper or understand a foreign broadcast.
Can Americans get Voice of Russia via Shortwave? Or Internet? Their English language programming might be enlightening. Ditto other English broadcasts from foreign countries. NHK, Radio Japan, is pretty good. BBC World Service, of course.
Don't be petty.
The real problem is that the Pentagon aims to achieve a disarming and unanswerable first-strike capability. Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org-commented on the new missiles in Poland, Romania and on ships in the Black Sea in Bulgaria (each with three earth-penetrating MIRVs ?), "Whether on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike":
Which may result in Launch On Warning and Nuclear War by mistake.

Anton Chigurh
|Anton Chigurh
|First appearance
|No Country For Old Men
|Created by
|Cormac McCarthy
|Portrayed by
|Javier Bardem
|Professional Hitman
Anton Chigurh is the main antagonist of Cormac McCarthy's novel No Country for Old Men and its film adaptation. He is portrayed by Javier Bardem in the film.
Chigurh is portrayed as an unstoppable hitman who kills almost everyone he meets, except accountants and other underdogs who he determines are no threat and, more importantly, could possibly best him in a fair fight. Out of principle he spares them, in order that they might have the opportunity to one day become ruthless killers themselves. With some others, he occasionally allows their fate to be decided with a coin toss if he is unable to decide whether the inconvenience of killing them is worth it.
The character received heavy praise during the film's theatrical run, where Javier Bardem was awarded an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for his performance. Chigurh has been included on numerous lists of greatest villains, most notably in Empire Magazine's List of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters Of All Time.
Character overview[edit]
Chigurh is a hitman with no remorse or compassion for other human beings. He is described by a central character in the novel as a "psychopathic killer".
He is described in the novel as being in his 30s, with a dark complexion, and eyes as "blue as lapis ... Like wet stones." His signature weapon is a captive bolt pistol, which he uses both to kill his victims and to destroy cylinder locks on doors. He also wields a sound-suppressed Remington 11-87 semiautomatic shotgun and pistol (a TEC-9 in the film adaptation). Throughout both the novel and the film, Chigurh flips a coin to decide the fate of his victims. The Remington 11-87 was actually released seven years after the original setting of the book but it had still made an appearance as one of the most memorable weapons in the movie.
The character is a recurrence of the "Unstoppable Evil" archetype frequently found in the Coen brothers' work, though the brothers wanted to avoid one-dimensionality, particularly a comparison to The Terminator. To avoid a sense of identification, the Coens sought to cast someone "who could have come from Mars". The brothers introduced the character in the beginning of the film in a manner similar to the opening of the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth. Chigurh has been perceived as a "modern equivalent of Death from Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal."[1]
When Joel and Ethan Coen approached Javier Bardem about playing Chigurh, he replied "I don't drive. I speak bad English. And I hate violence." The Coens responded "That's why we called you". Bardem said he took the role because it was his dream to be in a Coen Brothers film.[2]
The Coen brothers got the idea for Chigurh's hairstyle from a book Tommy Lee Jones had. It featured a 1979 photo of a man sitting in the bar of a brothel with a very similar hairstyle and clothes to those worn by Chigurh in the film. Oscar-winning hairstylist Paul LeBlanc designed the hairdo. The Coens instructed LeBlanc to create a "strange and unsettling" hairstyle. LeBlanc based the style on the mop tops of the English warriors in the Crusades as well as the Mod haircuts of the 1960s. Bardem told LeBlanc each morning when he finished that the style helped him to get into character. Bardem humorously quipped that he was "not going to get laid for three months" because of his haircut.[2]
His background and nationality are left undisclosed and largely open to speculation, although it is established that he speaks a foreign accent, his first name Anton is clearly Christian European (possibly Eastern) and his surname conjures similarities to Indian toponyms and common words such as the city of Chandigarh or the word "Gurh", which denotes a town in Madhya Pradesh as well as a well-known food product and the translation for "subtle" in different South Asian languages. Another possibility is that is a corruption of an Albanian or other ethnicity of the Balkans like the Roma, or of North African or Middle Eastern Christian ethnicity refugees in Europe or America, some of whom are known to often join criminal organizations in their new countries. The familiarity with handling tools of slaughterhouses, and the particular care to avoid getting soiled by blood of his crimes could reflect views on Impurity much proper in Islamic, Jewish or Indian societies, seldom depicted in human killings in film (but in full gore even by finicky Patrick Bateman) or cared for by the majority of real life murderers, those could indicate a past working at farms, industrial or smaller meat producing facilities, and even at Animal control facilities where employees usually develop a callous approach to destroying life. When writer Cormac McCarthy visited the set, the actors inquired about Chigurh's background and the symbolic significance of his name. McCarthy simply replied "I just thought it was a cool name." [2]
Role in the plot[edit]
In 1980, Chigurh is hired to retrieve a satchel holding US$2.4 million from the scene of a drug deal gone wrong. However, he discovers that a local welder named Llewelyn Moss, who chanced upon the money while hunting, has taken it and left town. Chigurh tracks Moss down to a motel using a receiver that connects to a transponder hidden in the satchel of money. However, Moss has hidden the money in a ventilation duct, and when he returns to the motel, suspecting (correctly) that someone is in his room, he retrieves the money from the connected vent in a second rented room on the backside of the motel. His original room is in fact being occupied by a group of Mexican gangsters sent to ambush him. When Chigurh enters this room, he kills the Mexicans and searches for the money, but it is nowhere to be found. Moss, meanwhile, has already fled after hearing the subsequent gunfire.
Chigurh then ruthlessly tracks Moss down. The hotel confrontation between Moss and Chigurh plays out very differently in the film from the novel; rather than punching out the lock and wounding Moss, in the novel Chigurh apparently steals a key from a murdered clerk and quietly enters Moss's room, and Moss ambushes him and takes him captive at gunpoint, so they have a chance to see and know each other. Then Moss runs and the chase/shootout begins. As Chigurh and Moss face off in the hotel and the streets, they are interrupted by a group of Mexicans, all of whom Chigurh kills. However, this scene was cut and decreased to the point that only Moss and Chigurh fight.
Chigurh finds out that a bounty hunter named Carson Wells has, like Chigurh, been hired to retrieve the money. Chigurh kills Wells, who made a deal with Moss to give protection in exchange for the money. He then intercepts a phone call to Wells from Moss, and offers to spare Moss's wife if he agrees to give up the money. Moss refuses, however, and vows to track down and kill Chigurh. Moss is eventually killed by Mexican hitmen while in a motel in El Paso. Once again Moss hid the money in the vents, which was unseen by the Mexicans at the time of their ambush. Chigurh shows up later after the police have left, retrieves the money from the vent, and gives it back to the investor.
Near the end of the book, Moss's widow returns home to find Chigurh inside, waiting for her. After hearing her pleas for mercy, he partially relents by relying on his coin toss. In the book, she calls heads; it comes up tails, and he shoots and kills her. In the film adaptation, she refuses to call the toss, saying "The coin don't have no say. It's just you." The movie then cuts to a shot of Chigurh leaving the house, checking the soles of his boots, implying that he has killed her. While driving away from her house some three blocks away, Chigurh is badly injured in a car accident, sustaining a compound fracture of his left ulna and walking away with a limp. At the collision scene, before the authorities arrive, he offers $100 to a teenager on a bicycle to give him his shirt, seeking to use it to bind up his wounds himself. Chigurh then flees the scene before the ambulance arrives.
Chigurh kills without compassion or remorse, but always with deliberation. He is described as having his own set of morals, however twisted they may be. While he does not kill at random or without purpose, his reasons are at times abstract.[3] He sees himself as a hand of fate; an instrument who exacts what is supposed to happen upon those he sees accountable. He gives many of his victims he faces a chance to survive by making deals either personally, or by flipping coins in making decisions. In the novel, he is depicted as having a great deal of endurance, such as being capable of withstanding pain from multiple shotgun blasts or from a fractured arm.
Anton Chigurh kills or tries to kill almost every person he meets and speaks to during the film. The only people he spares are the accountant (who deflects his attention by declaring his status as a "nobody," such that Chigurh gives him an obvious question to answer rather than a coin toss), the gas station proprietor (who guesses right during Chigurh's coin-flipping), the woman at the trailer park office (who dispenses with Chigurh by standing up to him with legitimate grounds), the woman at the motel front desk, and two children at the end.[3]
Critics have praised Bardem's portrayal of Chigurh, which won him an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA. Chigurh, as played by Bardem, has been added to numerous lists of greatest villains.
UGO.com ranked him in its list of top 11 "silver screen psychos", saying that "Chigurh is an assassin of little words and interesting choices of weaponry - is a man without a sense of humor. Others might say he's got a warped sense of principles. One thing that most can agree on, is Chigurh is one crazy S.O.B. - ruthlessly killing damn near anyone who sets eyes on him, let alone those who get in his way. And apparently, the only way you can survive a run in with the man is the 50-50 chance of a coin toss, but dear god, don't question his motives, it just seems to irritate him even moreso."[4]
Empire.com ranked him #46 in their list of the 100 Greatest Movie Characters Of All Time, praising the look on his face when he strangles a cop with his own handcuffs and that "when American novelist Cormac McCarthy wants to throw a dark character at you, it's a safe assumption that you're not going to be able to get them out of your head for a good, long while - if ever. One of his best is Chigurh, and between the Coens and Bardem, they never missed a beat in bringing this monster to the screen. With the kind of unholy relentlessness usually reserved for horror icons, the hired killer has an almost supernatural ability to track his prey, and is rather short in the mercy department, preferring to leave the tough decisions to a coin toss. And that bowl cut is utterly terrifying."[5]
Popular culture[edit]
Being well received after the theatrical run of No Country For Old Men, Chigurh has been parodied in other media, mainly as a spoof of the film's most memorable scenes. Ike Barinholtz plays Anton Chigurh in the spoof movie Disaster Movie, while Carlos Areces plays Anton Chigurh in the spoof movie Spanish Movie. Chigurh also appeared in The Simpsons episode "Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh", in which he is seen as a city inspector.
WWE Superstar Chris Jericho based his villainous character change in 2008 on Anton Chigurh after seeing No Country For Old Men.
A parody titled There Will Be Milkshakes for Old Men was featured in Episode 5 of Season 33 of NBC's Saturday Night Live, which aired on February 23, 2008. Fred Armisen makes an appearance as Anton Chigurh, complete with captive bolt pistol and pageboy haircut, mimicking his famous gas stop scene. In addition, Bill Hader did an impression of Daniel Plainview, Daniel Day-Lewis's character from the film There Will Be Blood, and emphasized the line "I drink your milkshake" as the basis for a Food Network show that finds Plainview traveling the country in search of the perfect milkshake.[6][7] The same Saturday Night Live episode also featured a parody of No Country for Old Men titled Grandkids in the Movies.[8]
The Spanish television New Year's special Es Bello Vivir (It's beautiful to live), which premiered on December 31, 2008, contained a sketch mimicking the "gas stop scene".[9] The scene where Anton Chigurh stops at a Texaco gas station, flips a coin and asks the proprietor to 'call it' was mimicked in a number of online sketches, including an independently-produced parody titled No Football for Old Men, starring Michael Cornacchia, Kirk Zipfel, and Luiggi Debiasse as Referee Anton Chigurh.[10]

When Madalyn told me she wanted to do a vintage theme for their engagement shoot, I began making a list of possible scenarios. Out of a fairly long list of ideas, we decided on a tennis, picnic, and travel theme… Maybe we should have added a swimming scene or something with water since it turned out to be one of those rare and really too hot of a Summer day in Oregon…

"Great environment for which to take the children to shop for toys. Friendly staff and always very helpful"

Great environment for which to take the children to shop for toys. Friendly staff and always very helpful
If ever you think you'll never find the toy your child needs, the entertainer in Yate always pulls it out there sleeve. Great stock and great staff
the entertainer is a long standing store for yate and has some fantastic offers that run throughout the year. i last wenbt into the entertainer a few months back and received an exceptional service from the young lady behind the counter. very good with children and treated me and my daughter like avalued customers.
i found a good variety of toys especially for little ones and there were some real bargains to be had.
I cant walk past this shop without going in, it always has something for my little boy! Good prices as well.
quality toys at affordable prices
Finding a present suitable for a two year old that wont be boring, or they wont already have it, is an almost impossible task. But that's where The Entertainer comes to the rescue. The staff here were so helpful and willing to help me track down the perfect gift and it did not appear to be a chore to them.
They were happy and extremely willing to dedicate time to me to help me find what I was looking for. And the child in question was extremely pleased with their gift.

"From fishing to energy production to recreation, our oceans are an integral part of our national economy and support millions of jobs throughout the country. Any new regulations or changes to the management of our oceans should be done thoughtfully and in full collaboration with those affected. ... This tangled web of regulatory layers will only lead to increased uncertainty for many diverse sectors of the economy; and, it will create demands for new spending by the federal bureaucracies charged with executing and funding this Executive Order," said Chairman Doc Hastings (WA-04). "This policy has been driven from within the White House under the claim it's only an ocean conservation measure, when its actual effects could be far-reaching and economically hurtful to American jobs and businesses both at-sea and well-ashore."

Giants-Packers: Each Team Looking For Revenge This Week
The Giants dusted off the 15-1 Packers last January in the NFC Playoffs en route to the Super Bowl. Green Bay called that win lucky. This past summer, in an interview with YaHoo Sports, Packers LB Clay Matthews said:
"We picked the most inopportune time to play our worst ball. The fact is, they didn't beat us; we beat ourselves. We need to play our best ball when it counts. This year, I expect us to be right back where we should be."
The Giants, naturally didn't really buy into Matthews' assessment. At the time, DE Justin Tuck simply said the matter would be settled on the field. Yesterday, Tom Coughlin was asked the difference between last year's road playoff win and the regular season home loss to Green Bay:
"Well, I think we were playing better. Obviously, we played very, very well that day and quite frankly we were plus-three in Green Bay. We were minus-one here and plus-three in Green Bay."
Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy was asked if losing to the Giants in the playoffs last year has anything to do with this year"
"I don't think so. It's part of our preparation. I think it's only natural when you play a team the prior year, and obviously we played the Giants twice last year, it's part of our video study. That's really about as far as it goes. We've had the offseason to deal with how our season ended and we're really just focused on the video study and what they've done to date. We're going to come out and play our game."
The LoudMouths discuss whether the Packers or Giants are looking for revenge in Sunday's game.

Huawei says it welcomes US President Barack Obama's cybersecurity executive order. The company, which has recently been named a threat to the national security of the United States, says the initiatives proposed in the new policy are in line with its own vision on information sharing and collaboration.
Huawei representatives say they support the order that aims at enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructures while promoting civil liberties, privacy, security and business confidentiality.
"The effort in the U.S. will provide the public and private sector with a call to action for both enhanced information sharing and the development of standards to assist the critical infrastructure companies in protecting themselves," stated Huawei Global Security Officer John Suffolk.
"These efforts move beyond discourse and should result in concrete steps to tackle security issues The time has come to stop talking about the threat, stop talking about the challenges and begin to act, which is what this Executive Order represents," Suffolk added.
This announcement represents just a small part of Huawei's efforts to clear its reputation.

If Colorado tries to untangle the conflicts in its budget, it will end up like . . . California.
No self-respecting state would want that. The massive budget cuts, the IOUs, the celebrity governor autographing government-surplus sale items . . . yikes! Just the thought makes your blood curdle.

Joshua Bell, one of the best violinists in the world who makes $1000 a minute at his trade, decided to street perform in Washington DC using a $3.5 million violin. Guess what happened – he was ignored for 45 minutes of playing and only a few of over 1000 people that passed even bothered to stop and listen.

Now Sony will try to compensate for its mistakes being one of the first to launch a hard drive-based portable player that supports both audio and video. The next-generation Walkman (or whatever you want to call it) will go on sale in Japan in late June and will play MP3 audio files as well as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video formats.
[COLOR=#1951B9]The hard drive inside the HMP-A1 has a capacity of 20GB and data can be transferred between this and a personal computer over a USB 2.0 connection. The screen, which dominates the front of the device, is a 3.5-inch LCD with 320 pixel by 240 pixel (QVGA) resolution. Alongside its right-hand side are a small number of navigation buttons and there is also an in-line remote control in the headphone cable.[/COLOR]
Battery life has been estimated from 4 to 8 hours depending what you are playing, this will certainly make for a very interesting product, looking forward to it.

LIA is a non-profit residency programme that fosters artists internationally by providing them with spacious studios and cultural support, as well as opportunities to exhibit at the Spinnerei. The programme links young artists with the regional art community.
At LIA, both open studios and interdisciplinary panels offer the opportunity for a wider audience to access the world of art and to experience the place where art is created. In this way LIA aims to build a more personal connection between the artist and the audience encouraging discussions about art in the artists actual studio. Guest critics and artists are invited to contribute to these discussions and visit LIA studios. In the past years the programme managed exhibitions abroad and even enabled residents to show with other galleries such as Gallery EIGEN + ART. LIA enjoys fruitful partnerships with prestigious international art institutions such as The New York Academy of Art and School of Visual Arts New York City. Together, alongside the programme's main partner, BMW Leipzig, our partners made it possible for over 200 artists from over 40 nations to take part in the LIA programme since 2008. Amongst others the artists were from Australia, Ethiopia, China, Puerto Rico, USA and the Ukraine.
The programme is also supported by the Department for European and International Cooperation, Leipzig. This enables us to extend our hospitality to both Ukrainian and Ethiopian artists from our partner cities of Kiev and Addis Ababa. LIA is Leipzig's official art residency programme, and Leipzig's Lord Mayor, Burkhard Jung, is our patron. For more information about our international programme click: www.LIAp.eu
LIA is a not-for-profit art institution. Its aim is to create a platform for international exchange, and while the programme will be open to every nationality, special consideration will be taken to support Eastern European and Asian participants. Fellowships will ensure that artists can live and work in Leipzig for long periods (three, six or twelve month), with studio and programme fees paid by sponsors. Studios will be located in »Hall 18« with ample living and working space. A shared project room, with exhibitions and panel discussions, is also planned. The programme is proposed to start in September 2007. LIA will function within an already existing artistic and cultural network, generated by the atmosphere of the Spinnerei in Leipzig. Currently around one hundred twenty artists live and work in the cotton mills, where the not-for profit organisation Foundation Federkiel (www.federkiel.org) organizes regular exhibitions of social relevance, and where eleven internationally renowned commercial galleries currently operate.

Port Vale: Kris Taylor signs new one-year deal with Valiants
Posted: May 22, 2010|
KRIS Taylor says there is plenty of room for improvement in his game after signing a new one-year contract.
Micky Adams offered several of his squad two-year deals, but handed the 26-year-old defender a shorter contract because of his inconsistent displays.
"You always want the security of two years, but the gaffer was straight with me by saying there are parts of my game I need to improve," said Taylor.
"It's now about getting down to business and putting that right.
"Micky has talked about my consistency because up until Christmas I was flying and playing well, but in the second half of the season I only performed in patches.
"He didn't really know what he was going to get from me, which is probably one of the worst things for a manager to deal with.
"But I'm happy Micky wants to keep me here. Now I have to stay improve and hopefully I'll be here a lot longer."
He arrived from Hereford United before the start of last season, and went on to make 41 League Two appearances, including 38 starts.
But his loss of form after switching from left wing-back to a full-back role, saw him lose his place in late February.
"I'd say getting close to wingers to stop crosses coming in is where I let myself down," added Taylor.
"I didn't get tight enough to opponents, which allowed people to get a run on me.
"I've got to knuckle down and work on that aspect of my game.
"A lot of it comes down to confidence, because if you get the run-around in one game you can think about it too much, rather than just dealing with the winger."

The U.S. economy added 243,000 jobs in January, some much-need good news after a long drought — though the past six months have been better, on the jobs front, than you may realize.
In recent months, it's often been said that the unemployment rate is falling mainly because fewer people are looking for work. But the government report today points to a different — and rosier — picture. For more, read Rex Nutting's commentary today, linked above and below.

Memphis International Airport has officially converted its West Lot long–term parking into an economy lot featuring $8–a–day rates. The West Lot is conveniently located to the right of the airport roadway just before a motorist reaches the terminal for drop–off or pick–up. The lot had been used as a long–term full–price parking lot. The $8 rate makes the on–site parking at the airport is comparable to the independent operators located off airport property. The Economy West lot will feature airport security, a well–lit environment, and shuttle service to and from the terminal at intervals of every six to 10 minutes. The lot is credit card only – accepting Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
The new Economy Lot is the latest convenience established by the airport to make parking and passenger pick-up/drop-off easy. Last year, the airport launched the Cell Phone lot, giving those picking up passengers a safe and convenient place to wait without parking or endlessly circling the airport.
In addition to launching the new Economy lot, the airport is also beginning a new rate structure for the short–term and long-term lots. Under the new pricing, maximum daily rates for the lots will not change - $11.00 long term and $21.00 short term.

Slamming on the brakes of a car and sliding around corners is typically a bad thing, but for four Airmen from Luke Air Force Base, it was actually very good.
Those Airmen took to the track May 17 through 19 to battle in the "Drift into the Blue†competition at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, Calif. The event, sponsored by the Air Force Recruiting Service and Formula Drift, paired up the Airmen with four professional drivers who acted as personal driving coaches.
The winning Airman and driver will get F-16 flights at Luke later this summer.
Formula Drift was founded in 2003 as the first official drifting series in North America. The motorsport, which has been popular in Japan since the 1970s, involves intentionally oversteering the car to cause a loss of traction in the rear wheels while maintaining control throughout a turn.
Competitions are judged according to execution and style, rather than who finishes in the fastest time.
The Airmen selected to compete were Tech. Sgt. Brian Abel, 56th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron flightline expediter; Staff Sgt. Natasha Burroughs, 56th Medical Support Squadron diagnostic imaging technician; Staff Sgt. Steven Dauck, 56th Civil Engineer Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal team leader; and Senior Airman Semmi Quarles, 56th Operations Group F-16 intelligence analyst.
Preparation for the competition, the race itself, and the F-16 flights will be shown in five reality TV-style episodes on the Formula Drift website. The first episode, which shows the introductions and a sneak peak at the competition, is available to view at www.formulad.com.
Upcoming episodes will feature the Airmen's challenges, their improvements and the camaraderie formed with their drivers. Those episodes are scheduled to air July 21, Aug. 25 and Oct. 13.
All of the Airmen agreed the competition was an unforgettable experience.
Burroughs' father is a former drag racer, which she said gave her some confidence going into the competition.
"Growing up on the race track definitely allowed me to be at ease when I stepped into the car,†she said.
Quarles, who didn't have as much exposure to the racetrack as his rival, said he was optimistic about the competition since he is usually fast at picking up new skills.
"After getting used to the performance cars, we began throwing the cars into a drift,†he said. "It was kind of crazy, because we were basically losing control of the vehicle and then learning how to control it after it was out of control.â€
This was also Abel's first racing experience.
"I think breaking it loose is going to be fairly easy, but controlling it is going to be the hard part,†he said in the first episode.
Dauck was the only contestant with prior racing experience.
"I've driven autocross and some other small-circuit racing, but nothing like this,†he said. "This experience taught me more about driving and gave me a different outlook on the Air Force. It was the best Air Force experience I've had yet.â€
Stay tuned to find out which of the four will prevail.

Former city councilor Len Gobeil was driving on a Virginia highway when he answered the cellphone on Tuesday. He was asked how he fared with his sailboat that was nearly sunk at the town-owned Gateway Marina in Hyannis over the weekend as a result of alleged "malicious mischief".He said whoever turned on the dockside hoses used for deck washdown and left them running aboard his and one other vessel early Friday flooded the cabin and ruined his electronic gear and battery.
He, as other officials and boat owners, agreed this was a rare occurrence at the marina along a boardwalk and adjacent to wide-open Aselton Park.
"My boat went bow first" Gobeil said, a fact that at least saved the outboard motor from going under. "I've filed a claim with the insurance company," he said, "and we'll take it from there."
Gobeil was on his way to Greenville, S.C. Tuesday to return his grandchildren to their home and said we was "going to turn around and come right back."
Last year, sitting councilor Gary Brown's boat sunk at his slip in the marina. "We never pinpointed why," Brown said Tuesday. "Maybe it was the hose?" He has since acquired another boat.
A spokesman from the Harbormaster's office, which manages town marinas, said Wednesday personnel from that office pumped out the boats and will now take part in assuring the two dockside hoses are removed every evening.
Evidently, the culprits also tried to flood boats the night before, according to Capt. Danny Dyer of the kids' fishing charter boat "Clamneck."
Dwyer usually arrives first at the 20-slip marina at the foot of the Walkway to the Sea in Aselton Park.
He said when he arrived Thursday morning there was a running hose aboard a skiff owned by Housing Authority Director Tom Lynch. "I shut it off," he said, and contacted officials. "His pump was keeping up with it," he said.
The next morning Dwyer found Gobeil's boat going under bow first and another boat at the end of the dock up to its gunwales.
Lynch has had a slip there for 15 years and Gobeil two years. Both believe this is a random case of vandalism. They are gratified the town required slip lessees to carry more insurance in the wake of the Sea Genie tragedy six years ago in which an Irish summer worker died after falling from a boat that used a town-owned dock.
Lynch said there is talk of placing surveillance cameras along the waterfront.
Dwyer said he laments the loss of the summer policemen who patrolled the downtown area and knew what was going on. Meanwhile, police said they would increase patrols by the area.
Former airport commissioner Phil Doherty, who also has a slip there, said Wednesday a similar event occurred about three years ago. He said that when Anchor Outboard owned that area it utilized a security fence, an option that does not fit the town's current desire for an unfettered walkway along the harbor.
Town attorney Robert Smith also has one of the slips there.
Ed Corr, a retired phone company employee who has had an end slip there for "about 11 years," said his boat was totaled from being flooded "right up to the rails." He said Wednesday an insurance adjuster "totaled" the boat, which, he said, is now sitting in his back yard in Hyannis.
"A few years ago some people -- tourists I guess -- got on board my boat to eat their clams. They left all their napkins and cardboard boxes behind when they left. Took a lot of nerve, but that's the only problem I've ever had there."
He said he's looking for another boat and hopes the town will adjust his $2,600 slip fee next year for the time he won't be using the slip this year. "I guess there's supposed to be some sort of security when you pay for a slip," he said.

Naples Council leaning toward rerouting U.S. 41
The state-controlled Four Corners intersection in downtown Naples is one step closer to becoming a pedestrian-friendly main street controlled by the city.
After a six hour discussion about the future of Four Corners — where U.S. 41 intersects with Fifth Avenue South — Naples City Council decided Wednesday to move forward on the proposal to redirect U.S. 41 to nearby roads and change its concurrency policies, which dictate how the state and city work on road projects.
Supporters say the plan would create connectivity, and enhance safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists, while supporting the economic development of Four Corners.
Wednesday was the first time council discussed the options of rerouting U.S. 41.
"I think it will be better for business and connectivity and just make it a bigger and more enjoyable downtown experience," said Michelle Avola, executive director Naples Pathways Coalition.
However, some business owners along U.S. 41 are concerned they would lose customers if traffic was rerouted away from their storefronts.
"The decision we make will reshape all of Naples for years to come," Mayor Bill Barnett said.
Jon Sewell, a planning consultant with Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc., presented his company's feasibility study findings to council. He offered five options to council members, ranging from doing nothing to working with the Florida Department of Transportation for redesignation and rerouting of U.S. 41, and modifying the concurrency policies.
After a lengthy discussion, council agreed on a hybrid option — a combination of redesignation and changing concurrency policies.
The plan calls for rerouting a 2.3-mile segment of U.S. 41, turning it east at Golden Gate Parkway by the Coastland Center mall, and then south at Goodlette-Frank Road until it connects back up with present-day U.S. 41 East.
That would create a different road designation for what now is U.S. 41 between the Coastland mall and Fifth Avenue South.
During Wednesday's discussion of the plan, city officials said they would also investigate rerouting U.S. 41 east on Central Avenue, and south on Goodlette-Frank Road.
The city currently has little say over what can happen at that state-controlled intersection, officials said. The purpose of redesignating a segment of U.S. 41 is for the city to gain local control of the road through the Four Corners section of downtown Naples.
City leaders have also expressed concern over the years about the potential dangers to pedestrians there.
Proposals in the hybrid option call for a reduction of traffic lanes on U.S. 41 from six to four, as well as the addition of on-street parking and a bike lane.
It also includes short-term improvements, such as on-street parking, landscaping and minor traffic operation improvements, while seeking redesignation with U.S. Department of Transportation, according to the feasibility study.
Naples councilman Doug Finlay didn't support any of the options. He said he felt that council owed it to the business owners and residents to conduct a real-life traffic model.
The next step is to meet with the state. There are no current designs, and there was no total cost presented Wednesday, Naples City Manager Bill Moss said.
Assistant City Manager Roger Reinke plans to meet with FDOT officials, and return to council with additional information in a few months.
The study showed that traffic on U.S. 41 would decreased significantly, Reinke said.
Since 2007, there has been an 18 percent reduction in traffic on U.S. 41, according to the study presented Wednesday. Sewell said that decrease is due to increased fuel costs.
Meanwhile, traffic on Goodlette-Frank Road would increase from 1,300 to 1,700 vehicles a day by 2020 if the route is shifted, according to the study.
Although Councilman Sam Saad is in favor of creating an east-west connectivity, he questioned how much traffic flow would be lost with the proposed on-street parking on U.S. 41, which would mean that drivers would have to stop on U.S. 41 to park, slowing traffic.
On-street parking wouldn't be included at every intersection. For example, there wouldn't be on-street parking near NCH Downtown Naples Hospital so as not to affect emergency responders, Sewell said.
During the meeting, eight of the nine public speakers favored the plan to redirect U.S. 41 traffic.
East Naples resident Deborah McCormic said she loves the idea of having a safer way to get from the Gordon River Bridge to Fifth Avenue South when she cycles.
However, John Cardillo, a member of the Neighborhood Health Clinic board of directors, located on Goodlette-Frank Road, just north of Central Avenue, opposes relocating U.S. 41.
Cardillo said he is concerned about an increase in traffic on Goodlette-Frank Road, pointing out that there are two school zones and Fun Time Nursery in the area.
For the plan to work, FDOT would need to review the city's request, and get approval from the state secretary of transportation and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials approval, FDOT officials said.

Press Releases
Immigrant Visa Processing
The Embassy of the United States of America is pleased to announce that as part of its effort to ensure that visa applicants for tourist, business, student, and other non-immigrant visas (NIV) will continue to be able to process their visa applications on a timely basis, the Embassy has transferred its small Immigrant Visa (IV) operation to the U.S. Embassy in Georgetown, Guyana effective July 1, 2012. Immigrant visas are intended for applicants who wish to move permanently to the United States..
The decision to transfer the IV operation to Guyana was made largely in response to Suriname's very robust and rapidly increasing demand for non-immigrant visas. The U.S. Embassy in Georgetown is well-equipped to absorb the additional immigrant visa volume with little or no impact on its daily operations, allowing U.S. Embassy Paramaribo to dedicate more time and resources to its rapidly growing number of NIV applicants.
The U.S. Embassy is committed to helping to facilitate travel between our two countries and to keeping visa application delays to a minimum. The transfer of Embassy Suriname's IV operation to Embassy Georgetown will help us to continue to achieve this goal.

Cuttack: In a remarkable judgment, the Odisha High Court on Tuesday ordered the state government to pay damages to all the persons who developed vision problems after cataract operations in an eye camp held in Dharmagarh of Kalahandi district in September 2010.
The eye camp was organised by an NGO in collaboration with district authorities.
Pronouncing its judgment that was kept reserved since September last year, the Division Bench of Justice V Gopala Gowda and Justice BN Mohapatra ordered that the state government shall pay a damage of Rs 2.5 lakh each to all those persons who had lost their vision completely after the operation.
Similarly, the persons who had lost partial vision shall also be compensated after reviewing the extent of damage by the health secretary, the High Court said.
At least 25 persons had developed vision problems after the cataract operation and out of them 16 persons had lost complete vision.
The victims were taken immediately to the MKCG Medical College Hospital in Berhampur where a group of ophthalmology experts confirmed that the victims had lost vision after the mass operations held in the free eye camp.
After a PIL was filed in the High Court by civil rights activist Prabeer Das, the court had ordered for an inquiry into the bizarre incident which was monitored by the district legal services authority.
A total of 1,210 persons were operated in the camp which was held between September 9 and 23 of 2010 by the NGO Grace Vision with active support from the local administration.

9 Responses to Why We Often Feel Tested On the Things We're Teaching Others
Oh, I love the prism picture! Rainbows everywhere – it's how I have always seen life – rainbows in the air, in the garden, in my head. LOL I want to BE a rainbow, I think! This is a beautiful talk, Marnie! Thank YOU for being so transparent!
Thank YOU for coming along on this journey with me, my dear friend!
As always, breath of fresh air, Momma Marnie—giving me the lift of hope to not get lost in the fog. Thanks for the encouragement–it worked!! Loves!
Thanks Judy! Funny, I always feel that way about you, my fearless spontaneous friend!
Oh, my dear friend! It seems you are just one step ahead of me on this journey and as you write, I am in the phase you just came out of. =) Thank you SO much for sharing the things you are learning. I am in that phase right now. And yet, since I have focused on sharing light and seeing dots light up all over the world, new opportunities are opening up. I am facing some fears right now that i know i can do. Still scared, but know what a huge gift it will be on the other side, so I calm my fears and focus on the outcome. I am excited to share light with the world!
How grateful I am for you! You are beautiful, kind and wonderful! I am blessed to be your friend!
I was just talking with my sister about how the minute I think I have learned something it feels like God says, O.K. Janette lets find out if you really have learned this or not, and I am tested on it again. I know I do have a message to share. Thank you for your message today, and being a light bearer!
Hi Marnie…I love your message and your encouragement. What a sweet metaphor or analogy, with the crystal. You do such good work. Yes, those old familiar road blocks can be so demoralizing. I am actually feeling one as I write, so your encouragement was perfectly timed for me. Sooooo, I will dig deep to do what I have learned, and I will proceed. Thanks for your "light" message. I am grateful that you are in my life. As always….. Sincerely, Tina K.
hallo i love you message ,its encourage me a lot god be with you amen.
Thank you so much for this. I am right there dealing with transparency and feeling like I am being tested on the very things that I teach. Something in me wouldn't allow me to stop so I knew there was something more ahead but I couldn't articulate what I was experiencing. You brought clarity to my situation and have encouraged me to continue on even more.

What makes a good yarn store? Is it yarn selection? Is it the staff? Is it the coziness or atmosphere? Do you need all of those things to make a good yarn store?
I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to structures (houses, stores, buildings) filled with fiber. If there's a room with yarn anywhere in the vicinity, you can bet I'll make my way there sooner or later. So last week when I took my mother-in-law to the airport in a nearby metro-area I did the only thing a knitter would do: I googled all possible yarn acquisition sites.
I live in the Greensboro area of North Carolina, and though we have an airport here, my m-i-l was flying out of Raleigh – about an hour and a half away. I narrowed my yarn store search down to three options. Great Yarns in Raleigh would probably have been a good bet, but it's owned by the same woman who owns the yarn store in Greensboro. The chance for duplication was too great. Cozy in Durham seemed like a nice store in a college-y section of town. From what I could find out online, they stock lots of things in addition to yarn. An eclectic gift store, if you will. I really wanted just yarn. Then I read another blogger's description of a store in Cary. And I quote: "The yarn selection is DEEP." My decision was made.
The details:
Shuttles, Needles & Hooks
214 E. Chatham St.
Cary, NC 27511
(919) 469-9328
The store is an old house set close to a busy street. There is a small sign out front that you might miss if you're not looking. The bushes out front are large. But let's get to the good stuff.
The yarn selection is DEEP. My word! Knitters! I've never been to WEBS, and I'm sure that it is a whole other monster, but this was something to behold. Upon entering, the first thing that hits you is the musty smell. Old houses come with musty smells. After a deep breath to acclimate, the yarn! It's piled everywhere. There are many many rooms of yarn. It hangs from the walls. It sits on the floor. It lies in nooks and crannies everywhere waiting to be found.
I wish I could tell you exactly which brands of yarn they carry. Unfortunately I was too overwhelmed by all the yarn (and the carrying and minding of children) to take notes. They had Lorna's Laces. They had Henry's Attic. They had Lopi. They had Dale of Norway. They had Cascade, Plymouth and Brown Sheep. They had Jaeger. I could go on. There were also cones. Lots of cones. There was a room full of many varied books.
Here's the thing. There was yarn on the floor. I'll say it again. There was yarn on the floor. What I mean is, picture your stash. Now picture yourself rummaging through your stash to find something at the bottom. You've found it, then you're left with a small mountain of stash yarn at your feet. The whole store was like that. The yarn was on the floor!
I was interested in, and eventually bought some Dale of Norway Falk, but I could barely reach it without stomping over balls and balls of yarn. The organizer in me wanted to tidy up. Take that yarn out of those bags and put it away! Pick that yarn up off the floor and put it away!
Here's another thing. Poor Jerry. He brought a Lego comic book to read while I shopped, but there was no place for him to sit. There was one chair in the book room, but it was occupied. He had to sit on the floor, and there wasn't even much space for that, what with the yarn on the floor.
Upstairs there was sale yarn. All on the floor. Too mind boggling to go through. Too much yarn on the floor. And boy was it hot upstairs.
Did I like this yarn store? Yes. Yes I did! I really liked it! I was terribly overwhelmed with the whole experience, but if I am in the area again I'm sure to return. The owner and her daughter were very helpful in suggesting yardage for my project, even though they were preoccupied with ordering more yarn (presumably to put on the floor). They even took my phone number and said they'll call when they get more Lorna's Laces in stock.
I can't say this store is the greatest ever. It was fun to be in the middle of millions and millions of yards of delicious yarns, but it is not for the faint of heart (i.e. I would NOT take my mother there). Someday I will return. It will be a Saturday when my children stay home and play with their father. I will be prepared.
And since you've got to the end of my yarn store review sans pictures, here is a preview of what I've been working on, which I'll discuss more soon.
