Casa Francia is a beautiful country home near the historic village of Palaia in the Tuscan hills between Pisa and Florence. Palaia is located in the Valdera region of Tuscany known among other things for its truffles.
The buildings and grounds were lovingly restored in 2011-2012. Extensive use of original materials has retained the charm of the property evoking the feel of a bygone era. The property features traditional wood beam and brick ceilings and terracotta floors.
This home is ideal for a large group of friends or multi generational family gatherings. Family friendly with elegant but at the same time comfortable furnishings and a game room. Up to 12 guests can be accommodated at Casa Francia – eight in the main house and four in the Casetta – literally "the little house". Both houses have air conditioning and heating throughout.
The property is situated on 7.5 acres of woods, fruit trees, and olive groves with stunning views across the fields in front of the houses. Surrounded by working farms, you will experience the Tuscany the locals live. There is a large (12m by 6.5m) infinity pool with ample outdoor furniture. Outdoor patio areas around both houses provide a wonderful setting for al fresco dining. Additional outdoor amenities include a BBQ and pizza oven.
Casa Francia is in close proximity to many of the major attractions of Tuscany. It is located a few minutes outside of Palaia, a village whose history can be traced back to the 10th Century and in close proximity to a number of other medieval villages such as Lari with its ancient castle sitting in the center of town. Pisa is 30 minutes away. Florence, the walled city of Lucca, Viareggio and the coastal beaches, and the Etruscan town of Volterra (made famous by the Twilight series books) are all within an hour. Siena is a two hour drive and makes a nice day trip.

We are a family of three from Los Angeles, California. I was born in Italy and my parents and all my family still live there. After many years of traveling to Italy to visit my family and renting a variety of villas, we decided to purchase our own home.
Since we live so far away, we started off determined to purchase a completed house that required little to no work. Ah, the best laid plans! The second we set foot on the land at Casa Francia we fell in love and we were doomed! The property, as near as we could tell, had been abandoned for somewhere on the order of 40-50 years. You can imagine the task we had set ourselves! If you visit us (and we hope you will) you will see pictures of where our journey began, all the way through what it is today. It's been a tremendous, if somewhat bumpy ride.
Our journey began in the summer of 2009 when we signed the initial contract to purchase Casa Francia; an old farmhouse built is 1885 that once formed part of a larger farming concern called Fattoria di Pozzo and housed the tenant farmers. The lower floor housed the animals and had a trough where the animals fed under what today is the beautiful arched living room. The Casetta used to be the barn and is now a lovely two bedroom guest house.
Building permits were received in early 2010 and the purchase closed in late 2010. Renovations began in April 2011 and after a few bumps in the road while having to amend permits, meeting additional seismic requirements that changed in the middle of the game and numerous encounters with Italian bureaucracy, we finally finished in the fall of 2012. We think you will agree that it was worth the wait!
Owner purchased this villa in 2009
Our property manager can also provide a variety of concierge services, such as breakfast or dinner at Casa Francia and various tours ranging from simple hiking to truffle hunts, to golf. Check them out on website follow the links below:
We recently traveled to Italy with 5 other couples and spent a week at Casa Francia. We chose Casa Francia because of it's ideal location and the fact that it provided six separate (and beautiful) bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathroom.....and we were so happy that we did because it was truly an amazing experience. After venturing down a very interesting driveway we all arrived at what we came to call our own little piece of heaven. The home was truly spectacular from it's views, to how it was decorated, to it's location. While we spent most of our time outside on the patio, the interior of the home also provided several very comfortable living areas.....so with 12 people everyone had a place to enjoy. In addition, the kitchen was well equipped and the facilities including laundry, air conditioning (if needed) and security exceeded expectations. The location of this home is also ideal as it was an easy day trip to many places including Florence, Sienna, Pisa, Lucca and the beaches. The property manager was also an added plus as she was very responsive and available to help with making arrangements to see the area, grocery shopping and preparing meals. All in all a truly wonderful vacation that we will all never forget.
From the very first moment, we arrived at Casa Francia I knew it was going to be the perfect place to stay. Christina greeted and welcomed us with open arms and proceeded to show us each of our rooms, they are lovely and spacious and more than comfortable with everyone having their own private bath. The rest of the house and casita has lots of ambling rooms for dining and for visiting or just kicking back and relaxing. The terrace, where we dined most days, has that beautiful picturesque backdrop reminiscent of the Tuscany postcards that are so famous. The pool area was equally as beautiful and was a refreshing start and end to our day.
Soon, we would meet Christina's fun and spirited family and discover that they were going to be our chefs for the week, which I might add, turned out to be the best chefs in Tuscany. We started each day with a smorgasbord of breakfast choices and then after touring around the local countryside during the day we would come home to the smells of mouth watering Italian meals being prepared for our dinner. It is truly hard to say which meal was the best as each came with it's own special flavors and was truly a delight to the senses with each bite being better than the last.
Christina was great in mapping out and guiding us around for lots of fun-filled days. She and her sister keep us on track for discovering and exploring a new region each day including a wine tasting and a most interesting cheese factory tour. As much as we scouted around, I'm ready to go back and pick up where we left off as there's so much more to see and do and plus I miss Christina's sweet Italian family.
Also, I want to say "hats off to the owners" of Casa Francia, whom we were fortunate enough to meet prior to our travels; we could not have asked for a more perfect place and region to stay and I loved calling it home for a week. Finally, thanks to our dear friends, Scott and Julie, for making it all happen. It was truly an incredible time and the best vacation of our lives. All I can say is grazie, grazie, and grazie.
The Lacey's
Our week-long stay at Casa Francia included a group of ten family members, among us our 1 ½ year old grandson. Upon our arrival, we were treated to a variety of appetizers and libations, all homemade and scrumptious. An equally delicious dinner followed, cooked in the Italian tradition and served to us on the deck at sunset. The view is breathtaking and personifies everything Tuscany. The tone for our stay was set this first night, and we were thrilled with each passing day that followed.
The Casa itself is beautiful in both structure and furnishings, and its five bedrooms, each with its own full bath, served everyone's needs. Even the Cassetta, which had two full bedrooms and baths, was equipped with a beautiful kitchen and amenities, along with a family room featuring French doors displaying the breathtaking scenery. They provided a crib and a high chair for our grandson, but he was more interested in the fantastic pool at the Casa.
As glorious as the accommodations were, the staff as Casa Francia went about their tasks with much heart and grace. While we celebrated family, Christina and her family meshed beautifully with ours. They offered advice and aid in planning day trips (Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, and Florence are all easy trips from the Casa) and accompanied us when we were in need of a guide. We especially enjoyed tours of the local cheese factory, Formaggi della Famiglia, and the winery, La Spinetta, which were both spearheaded by Christina. Additionally, Christina was always eager to accommodate with grocery shopping, food requests, and necessary appointments.
We woke each morning to a beautiful spread of Italian cold cuts, cheeses, pastries, cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. Evening meals were also prepared with much care and attention and never failed to delight us with one savory dish after another. Our family heritage is from Northern Italy, as my grandfather is from Carrara which is situated near Casa Francia. The meals prepared for us were reminiscent of our Nonie's Sunday dinners, evoking cherished memories of our childhood. We were in heaven.
Throughout our stay, Christina and family demonstrated a desire to please their guests and were pleasant in the process of doing so. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We were miles from home but found a new home at Casa Francia. We cannot wait to return.
This is a fabulous home, really well appointed and equipped, in a great location for day trips to places like Pisa, Florence and Lucca. We were a family if just 4 but there is plenty of room for a larger party with various separate seating areas in and outside the house. The air con is very effective - vital as it was scorching hot! The pool is very large for a private pool with stunning views across the valley, and sunsets in the evening. The village of Palaia is a short drive away, and we went further to Pontedera to catch trains to Pisa and Florence. Nearest supermarket is 9km away so if you want a place close to amenities this may not be for you. The local manager, Cristina, was very helpful. We so enjoyed our first foray into Italy, and our adventures were enhanced by staying in this lovely villa
Loved this place! There were 9 of us, parents, adult kids, and young grandkids. There was plenty of room for everyone and the great thing was that there were so many different gathering areas if someone needed to find a quiet place. Unfortunately, British Airways stranded us in London so we arrived a day late. Cristina, the property manager was so kind and gracious. She continually stayed in touch letting us know that she was on standby for whenever we arrived. She and her sister had prepared dinner for us and had to put everything on hold for a day. It was still wonderful! The house was clean, modern, comfy beds, all the amenities you could hope for. Wifi was sporadic, but seems that is typical for Italy. We were so centrally located, so each day we went a different direction: Florence, Cinque Terre, Lucca, San Gimignano and one day we stayed around just so we could enjoy the pool and beautiful view after a trip to the market which was about a 20 min. drive. Cristina was great for anything we needed. She shopped for all the basic necessities for us, so upon arrival we could prepare breakfast, lunch and snacks. That was huge for us getting in so late in the day. She is also ready to set up tours and activities for whatever you may desire. Wish we could have stayed longer to see it all and do some of the wine tours. That was not a priority with the little ones :)
I would highly recommend staying here if you love tranquility and beauty all around. Do be sure to read all of the instructions, which we did not do at first and didn't realize the dryer had a water reservoir that needed to be emptied. There is a complete book of information and instructions. Every detail has been covered. It is a warm and welcoming 'home away' from home!
We absolutely loved our time at Casa Francia. The house truly felt like a home away from home. Myself and several of my relatives traveled to Italy for my 50th birthday and the house was an absolute delight. It was a perfect combination of traditional and modern. Every room in both the Villa and the Cassetta were beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. We loved the kitchen which was fully stocked with everything we needed from coffee in the morning to full dinners we prepared several evenings. We used both the large dining room table as well as the spectacular outdoor terrace for meals and to relax with a glass of wine. The views are stunning and the area peaceful and private. We spent almost every morning and evening on the patio area or by the beautiful pool. Our party included 5 adults and the main house provided more than enough space to spread out and enjoy. The house could have easily accommodated several additional guests with comfortable sleeping arrangements and bathrooms for everyone. Cristina, the property manager, was always available to offer recommendations including an Agriturismo which offered one of the best dinners of our entire stay as well as shopping and general directions. We visited many nearby towns including Palaia, Volterra, San Gimignano and Florence all of which were an easy drive from Casa Francia. The pool area also offered a wonderful setting to spend one of our day's just relaxing and taking in the amazing views including an incredible sunset. There were so many beautiful aspects to the property it was difficult to tear ourselves away to go site seeing. Highly recommend this property and we definitely plan to return.
Casa Francia is approximately 2 km from the village of Palaia. Palaia is part of the province of Pisa and traces its history back to the 10th century. It is a lovely little village with a beautiful clock tower and several lovely little churches.
The area is known for its beautiful countryside and gently rolling farms. There are several olive oil producers and wineries in the near vicinity. Local activities include hiking, horseback riding, golf, not to mention truffle hunting! Palaia lies in the Valdera region, well known for its truffles.
Within a short distance the area is dotted with many other charming medieval villages, such as Certaldo, Lari, Marti, San Miniato and many others, all well worth a visit.
Pisa is 30 minutes away. Florence, the walled city of Lucca, Viareggio and the coastal beaches, and the Etruscan town of Volterra (made famous by the Twilight series books) are all within an hour. Siena is a two hour drive and makes a nice day trip.

At CES, Otterbox has unveiled its new range of iPhone cases called the 'Symmetry' series. According to Otterbox, these cases are a "fusion of protection and style".
The protective cases are thin, combining two materials into a single piece. Otterbox calls the series one of the slimmest, most protective cases in its class. They have a raised edge on the front to protect the touchscreen glass and use synthetic rubber in a honeycomb coring on the back to absorb shock to defend against drop damage.

Date of Stay: August, 2013
We stay at this park every summer. We love the fact that it's so close to the beach. The sites are good size ,and I don't feel like were being packed in. There is grassy areas next to each RV, along with a picnic table and grill. The sites are level, concrete pads, with a joined spot for tows. There is a park store that carries a few trinkets, and items, plus a community room. On the property is a small playground for the kids, and also rinse off showers. The park is well maintained, and I picked up after. I enjoy this park, and can't think of anything I don't enjoy here. Again, the people are friendly, the park is clean and best is the views and fact that it's close to the beach! A++ Dellanera!
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We enjoyed our 1 night stay here. Easy for 40ft plus tow. It was in town, so it was a little packed in. But there seemed to be space between the sites. The sites had level concrete pads, with an adjoining spot for tows. The pool was nice and relaxing at the end of the day. The park owner is very nice. The park is clean and well groomed. The Metro rail is right outside of the park entrance, although we didn't try it. We would stay here again, if we were back in Phoenix/Tempe.

Hi all, new to this forum was once on the e39 forum having owned a 528i auto lovely motor till my parther wrote it off, but hey not to worry she`s still in one piece. Bought myself a lovely 330d auto in topaz blue with grey leather. The power on this thing is unbeliveable, you wouldn`t think its a diesel apart from the tickover sound before you launch it with the accelerator pedal.

The United States already dominate some of the world's biggest team sports - could football be next?
In the wake of their performances at this World Cup, one Brazilian columnist has already predicted that they could make the final by 2026.
It's not as far fetched as it sounds.
In many ways, the USA have been the most impressive nation at this World Cup so far - bar none.
In terms of collective effort, team work, spirit, belief and old fashioned guts, Juergen Klinsmann's team topped them all.
Their talents, when measured on an individual basis, were modest but they epitomized all they is great about a true team. They worked for each other and never gave up, fighting until the final whistle. And remember they were without the talents of Jozy Altidore (injured) and Landon Donovan (controversially excluded by Klinnsmann).
Look at who they faced. Ghana, Portugal and tournament pacesetters Germany and Belgium, and, they lost nothing in comparsion in any match. It was also no coincidence that all of their games were brilliant spectacles, and the clash with Belgium will be remembered for a long time.
They faced an unprecedented onslaught against the Red Devils but refused to lie down, and were a whisker away from getting an equaliser after being 0-2 down in extra time.
The USA even had the audacity to come up with one of the best free kick moves in this tournament so far - probably the best set move since Argentina's against England in 1998.
And their travelling army of fans have lapped it up. The USA have drawn more supporters to Brazil than any other nation and they have certainly made their presence felt. The atmosphere inside the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador on Tuesday was electric, as the American supporters sang, cheered and chanted for almost the entire two hours.
"Of course we love our own sports but it's fun to take on the world," one fan from Kansas told the New Zealand Herald. "You realise how big it is when you come to a World Cup."
Thank goodness the Americans only started taking soccer seriously in the last 20 years or so. With their resources, sports science know how and general aptitude for sport, one senses they could be a big threat in the coming years.

woud this be a good setup?
im new to hotrods and am going to be building an engine for my car this summer
im going to get an early third generation camaro and put a fourth generation 6 speed transmission in it, but for the engine this is what i am thinking about
the problem is i dont know if its a good setup or not. my friend who knows alot more than me about cars helped me out by looking through a jegs catalouge and helping me out or whatever
i will buy as much stuff from ebay or used as i can as long as its good and will work good cause i dont have much money. aobut 4000 or so for the engine
looking for a fairly high reving street/strip engine that wont kill fuel economy but doesnt need to be perfect cause i've got a 'beater'
383 stroker kit from jegs
gear drive kit
edelbrock performer rpm 64 cc heads
crane energizer cam with 282*/.470" my friend said that will have a nice sound to it and wont be too bad on the street
crane enrgizer aluminum rockers
jegs aluminum radietor
stealthram or superram whatever i can get from ebay
what other stuff do i need to have a strong running motor that will rev fairly high and will last a while?
sounds good, stay with a conservative manifold, however, you're done at around 5500-6000 with those cubes and that cam.
If you want to wring out that stroker to the upper rpm range, your budget will have to be much higher than $4k to get the valve train and sub assembly to handle it.
Remember to be realistic about where you will be driving the car (rpm range). For a street car it is very unusual for it to ever see anything above 5500-6000 rpm.
Remember...torque is king.....
The stroker kit is the key, the performer heads are great but make sure the springs can handle the lift put out by the cam. IF the car is going to be a daily driver you dont want to get too crazy, I would go with an off-idle intake, try to get as much torque and HP out of it that you can within the low to mid-range cause like already said you arent going to get above the 6k range all that often. Hope this helps!!
ok cool so should i not get an aftermarket intake and stick with a tpi or something?
i say high rpm's i guess just because i dont wanna be having to shift at 4500 RPM when i'm having fun or whatever, would rather be able to go a little higher, but not worry about blowing anything up
is that the biggest cam i could go with?
i love the sound that big camshafts make....
by the way what else do i need to upgrade or replace to have the engine run good and be able to have fun with it without always worrying if everything will hold up?
water pump? fuel pump? that sort of stuff that usualy isnt talked about in an engine plan but is needed for the engine?
sorry i am a newbie to this and dont know what i need or dont need

Edelbrock makes great intakes in a variety of rpm ranges, just pick out the one that gives you the best performance you are looking for, just remember if you go with anything other that an off-idle intake you will have to obtain a stall converter to match the rpm start range of that intake.
The bigger the cam you go is not always good unless you have the money to upgrade other components. Going higher in lift produces a rougher idle, for the most part is not bad, but you can drop manifold pressure which is a big deal in regards to your engines vacuum requirements. Some big cams cause manifold pressure to become so low that it wont operate power assisted brakes (brake booster). Other things to keep in mind when choosing a cam is that on computer controlled engines you might have to get a chip upgrade, or on carb. engines you will have to upgrade the carb, other things are the power band ranges in the cam regarding torque. Also, cams require a certain compression ratio. These are just some of the things to keep in mind when selecting a cam.
If your going to go extreme in the HP you might want to consider a higher flowing water and oil pump.
Hope this helps!

are the edelbrock intakes for carburator or do they have tpi intakes?
say no to gear drives
'74 Gran Torino Project
351W, c6 trans, 9"
whats bad about the gear drives?
Edelbrock makes a wide variety of intakes for all applications, I have seen intakes for TPI, you just have to research the right one for you. If all else fails call Edelbrock's Tech line and let them know what your doing.
Your gonna wanna know what rear gears are in the car befor you stuff in any ole cam,match the cam to the entire setup.
A car with a small cam thats matched to the setup is better than a huge cam that was just stabbed in and don't fit the setup.
ok well with that setup what gears should i get?
remember ill also have the six speed from the fourth generation f bodies in there instead of the crappy 5 speed that the third generation cars came with. most of my driving will be at 40 mph or 60 mph if that helps
id also prefer something that will accelerate fast rather than something with a huge top end. and i will be using it for drag racing on the weekends. what do you recomend?
(i'm the friend that was helping him out the other day)
go on AIM so we can chat more.
Anywho, a 3.42:1 gear set might be a little better for fuel economy, but the 3.73:1 would probably be ok..
Ya probably wouldnt want to go with like 4.10:1's or higher, but see what other people have to say though.
I think for the most part, your combo sounds good. I am not a fan of geardrives either as they can sent bad harmonics through your valvetrain. I like that you are going with a stroker, and the 6 speed will be nice. The edelbrock heads are great for the street, I used to run a set on my 68.
As far as gearing goes, you have to remember that that T56 has a double overdrive. I'm not sure what your 6th gear ratio is, but I highly recommend that you go to a site like www.smokemup.com, where they have a complete chart for speed/Rpm range. It helped me a lot as I just rebuilt the 9 inch in my car. Anyways, if you have a 0.50 overdrive like some 6 speeds have, you might want to go with something like a 4.10. If you gear it too high, your 6th gear will be useless. especially if you are running a larger cam. It all depends where your motor will run good. I had 3.70 rear gears (just changed to 3.89's) and a 0.68 overdrive in my tko five speed. I was running 2000 rpms @65 mph. I can say that this was probably too low a rpm for MY engine with its monster roller cam. If I had a 6 speed in it, I couldn't use 6th gear unless I really moving. your motor will probably run great at a 2000 rpm cruise. You should find out which T56 you are getting, because there are several different ratio T56's out there.
oh yeah the LS1 T56 and the LT1 T56 are different gearings, correct?

No reply needed on this statementOne thing I love about this site is you can teach people to learn. That was honestly the idea of this site. When JD had his old site, it was about learning. It was about teaching people the fundamentals of this business. Over the years, it has diminished and people are not looking to become better handicappers, they are just looking for that score. I have always had a problem with that recently. Trends. I never got in this buisness for the money, I got into it because I loved the competition of the beating the line. That was a thrill to me. I took my bumps and I took glory too. Had rough weeks and months, but I was always grinding to be a better handicapper. I always tried to teach what I learned from my mistakes to others. I have noticed over the last few months that my desire to cap games is not where it was when I entered this buisness. That is when I realized that I need to step back trying to help others, but help myself. But, lets be honest...nobody really cares about that. Pregame will always be a part of me and Ill still be around, just not as transparent. There used to be a day where I loved coming into this forum posting information and picks, Im not on that level anymore and its not right for me to contribute to something where im not 100% dedicated to give the best to everyone. Believe it or not, to those that follow me and email me, thank you. Ill always be there to answer questions. If anyone else needs advice, ill give the same. If JD or RJ needs anything, they know im here for them and can email me. Ill always be there for them. Good luck Pregame. Its been fun. Take care and cash them tickets.

Halo you are a solid capper and anyone that has followed your plays or what you have been able to do in the tourneys knows that. You are a great asset here and part of the reason a lot of people posts is due to the hard work and dedication you put into running great capping contests.

Created by celebrated perfumer Francis Kurkdijan, this blend makes good on its name, charming both us and the people around us. The fruity floral scent balances heady Moroccan rose with tart berries to create something you'll want to year-round.
I really like the packaging on this... it would look super cute setting out. That being said, Iit just didn't work for me... I think I have a tough chemestry to blend with because it smelled good in the tester... going on just the sample alone, it was sweet and fruity... like a highschool dance.3
Great smell, didn't last too long. I typically use Chanel perfumes, and I usually still notice the smell well after I put them on. This one didn't seem to last as long, and the smell was very fruity (which I enjoy, but isn't my absolute favorite). If I were to buy this one, I would keep it in addition to my favorite scents, and use it on a trip to the beach or something where I just need a light burst of playful scent.3

CLAIM: Rihanna is "Interested" in Rekindling with Chris Brown
RIHANNA IS 'INTERESTED' IN REKINDLING THINGS WITH CHRIS BROWN!!!!" reads the headline of a piece from MediaTakeOut, where someone seriously needs to learn how to unlock the caps key. The site says it "spoke with a person close to Rihanna today who told us some EXPLOSIVE NEWS."
MediaFakeOut's "insider" claims "Rihanna is 'open' to the idea of dating Chris Brown again," but noted, "The court wont (sic) allow them to commuicate (sic), but I can tell you Rihanna misses him." "Things went really badly in that relationship," says MTO's source in classic understatement, adding, "But they've both grown… she's open to see where things lead."
The only thing that's "explosive" here is how MediaFakeOut, once again, bombs. MediaTakeOut, of course, is the same site that previously (and wrongly) claimed Chris Brown was dating Kim Kardashian. (Yeah, still not happening.)
Nevertheless, even if Brown's restraining order was lifted, and he was allowed to get within yelling distance, Rihanna is currently NOT "open to the idea of dating" Brown, nor is she "open to see where things lead." The singer's interest in "rekindling things" with the rapper who beat her is about the same as MTO's accuracy – ZERO.
A source close to Rihanna tells Gossip Cop that MediaTakeOut's tale is… "NOT TRUE." Now that's how you use caps! It should also be noted that MTO used an old photo (above) of Rihanna and Brown to illustrate its story and convey that she's interested in rekindling, but the picture is obviously misleading because Brown is not allowed near Rihanna nor is she interested in jumping back into his arms, in a pool or anywhere else.

Manchester United midfielder Anderson says he can be the BEST in the Premier League - if he can avoid injury.
The Old Trafford midfielder has played three times on the club's pre-season tour of South Africa and the Far East.
Anderson told the Daily Star Sunday: "I think everybody knows that if I don't have these injuries I can be one of the best midfield players in England - but when I have an injury I can do nothing.
"We know I've had many problems at Manchester United but now I am back after 25 days of holiday and the knee feels good."

Frank Stubbs, Fans' Diarist, July 14, 2010
Considering how much I enjoy football and every last moment of the experiences and emotion that goes with it, I thoroughly enjoy the summer break.
A chance to take in some sunshine and enjoy many of life's 'other' entertainment, my location move has taken up much of my time on this occasion, with only the fantastic Isle of Wight Festival to report as a quite stupendous weekender.
This year however, has been one of those that comes around every four years, South Africa playing host to our sport's biggest international tournament.
Being English, of course I wanted my country to do well in the tournament. Unfortunately that wasn't to be. Looking at the facts, whatever way you look at the first half of the Germany game, it should have been level at half time. A glaring error that yet again emphasises the need for technology, if only for those relatively rare 'over the line' decisions, changed the whole attitude and tactics both teams would have taken into the second period.
Although we all like to think we are at times, we are not football coaches or managers. With plenty of time on the clock and dominating the game for the first time however, wasn't having every player bar one in front of Lampard as he took that free kick just a little bit naive?! If the ball hit the wall we were in trouble. Is that just me?
The rest of course is history, overall however we can have absolutely no complaints. Throughout the tournament England were at best mediocre.
For me the best team at the tournament ending up taking the crown and if there are any Gooners out there who couldn't see massive similarities between Spain and our own brand of football I'd be amazed.
In every match they were patient and stuck to their footballing beliefs and style. In the end it paid off.
It is extremely interesting to me how the pundits have slated Holland for their tactics yet when commenting on our own game teams are praised and encouraged to play in exactly the same way to stop our team from playing. Hypocrisy methinks.
Finally, a rarity. Is it only me who thought Howard Webb had a pretty good game? A very difficult game to referee considering what was going on, it was obvious he did everything he could to make sure the whole spectacle wasn't spoilt by sending someone off and only made one or two visual errors.
Me praising a referee? Now there's a turn-up!

Everything was perfect!
This apartment was fantastic, much better than we had expected, couldnt be better :)
Both of us loved it, we spent lot of time on the balcony, the wiew was beautiful!!
The wi-fi worked as we were told
Everything worked, the host were very kind, we Will definitly recommend this apartment and Will definitly stay there again!
It made our stay at budapest complete!
Couldnt be more central, everything was near!
Thank you so much!!
Nice and clean appartement. Fine location and a Nice host. Recommanded!
Very nice, I recommend. Lovely spended time in Budapest.
We were very pleased with our stay at Cibere. Arrival and departure were handled efficiently and the apartment was more than adequate for our needs. We particularly enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river and the central location was excellent. Bianka was very accommodating in arranging the airport transfers. The only downside was the loft sleeping area ceiling height which was not quite high enough to fully accommodate my 6'1" height.
First we would like to mention the location of the apartment is great, peaceful and yet close to the center. Nonetheless we find the price/quality proportion unfair. Although it is an okay apartment, we found the pictures of the apartment misleading. The apartment is not as good as it looks. For example the couches and the bed were uncomfortable and there are less plants in the apartment than is shown on the pictures. The bathtub is old en therefore difficult to clean.
Over all ok. Really lot of rules, and that is fine but in that case I think the appartment and the host should meet them themselves and they did not. And I do not like to be surprised with extra fees that somehow is not included in the price. But, over all, ok.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral im Herzen Budapests, genau gegenüber der Oper. Eine Mertrostation ist nur wenige Meter entfernt. Wir haben von dort aber fast alles zu Fuß gut erreichen können. Die Wohnung ist für vier Personen optimal und gut eingerichtet. Die Küche etwas spärlich. Da wir aber sowieso die guten Cafes und Restaurants in der Nähe genossen haben, tat dies der ganzen Sache keinen Abbruch. Leider hat das WLAN nicht optimal funktioniert, sodass meistens hierrüber kein Empfang möglich war. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch die Mitarbeiter der Vermietung war top. Ein Transfer vom Flughafen und zurück (gegen Entgelt) wurde organisiert und man konnte sich jederzeit mit Fragen an das an 7 Tagen in der Woche geöffnete Büro wenden. Das App. ist für einen schönen Städtetrip optimal.
Ottima posizione centrale, appartamento carino e ben organizzato con tutto il necessario per soggiornare comodamente (compresa l'asse da stiro!!).
un pochino rumoroso perchè molto centrale, ma molto comodo per spstarsi e visitare la cittaà.
Ottima posizione il centro è facilmente raggiungibile a piedi. A 4 minuti della stazione Nyugati (metro blu 3). Casa Pulitissima e confortevole. Ottima accoglienza ben organizzata soprattutto per il nostro arrivo dopo le 01:00 di notte. Consigliatissima.

Dear Annie: My bullheaded 50-year-old daughter has taken gossip from 32 years ago to make my life a living hell. I have four grown children. My older daughter called everyone she could think of and told them I molested my son when he was 5. My daughter never checked to see whether it was true. I have never been arrested for this or had charges filed against me. She further told all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren that they should never stop at my home.
Kids in the Kitchen
We were glad to see the Kershaw County Sheriff's Department conduct a sting operation recently that resulted in five area businesses being cited for selling alcohol to minors. People under the age of 21 have many ways to get alcohol, and we don't delude ourselves into believing that such an effort will wipe out underage drinking, but it's one more step that will make it more difficult for people to buy alcoholic beverages illegally.

I am constantly hearing that the trees on downtown Broad Street obscure the signs on the stores and for that reason should be cut down and replaced. This has happened entirely too many times, and it would be a matter of time before we repeated the same problem again. My suggestion, following the example of downtown Sumter and downtown Greenville, would be to let the trees grow even higher and remove the bottom branches, thus offering a clear view of the store signs and in the meantime providing the shade and beauty that tall trees offer a city.

"I told you so!" Merkel tells U.S., Britain
German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent a clear "I told you so!" to the United States and Britain at the weekend, criticising them in unusually frank terms for resisting measures that might have contained the current financial crisis. The conservative leader of Europe's largest economy reminded her partners that she had pushed for steps to boost the transparency of hedge funds during Germany's presidency of the Group of Eight last year. "We got things moving, but we didn't get enough support, especially in the United States and Britain," she told the Muenchner Merkur newspaper. Merkel expanded on her point in a speech in Austria, suggesting that both Washington and London were only now coming around to her view.

One of the lessons I learned rather late is that "life isn't fair." I hadn't really known that until I was 21 years old and employed at a scientific trade journal. Suddenly I saw how hard work, competency, and smarts didn't always reap rewards. That was eye opening. Another lesson I picked up at that job was life doesn't offer do-overs. That is, unless you're George Lucas.
On Friday, September 16, Lucas—the mighty maven behind the Indiana Jones quartet, "American Graffiti," and countless technical breakthroughs—is going to release his most famous work, yet again, on DVD and Blu-ray. The newly restored "Star Wars" saga—all six films—is going to be re-released. Or, should that be re-re-released. Or, more accurately, re-re-re-released. Well, you get the point. Mr. Lucas can't seem to leave a good thing alone.
One of my most favorite things about blogging rather than straight reporting is that I get to speak directly to you, the reader, about eventsthat amuse me, or bemuse me, or have moved me. This week's blog goes beyond just simply having touched me; it is a meditation on the events of 9/11/2001 and how I was never the same again. Our country—the whole world—was shaken awake on that clear Tuesday morning, and we have never really rolled over and gone back into our pre-9/11 slumber.
What is it about dolls and flooding that seem to go hand-in-hand in my life? Longstanding readers of this blog might recall when my basement was flooded more than a year ago and my Titanic doll was launched to float facedown in the murky, rising tides.
Now we were visited by Hurricane Irene, and that houseguest did not act like a lady at all. Like an angry, bombastic toddler, she rushed through my hometown, leaving branches and trees and power lines in her wake. My family and I are among the 500,000 New Jerseyites who lost power. I must tell you that living like a frontier woman is not what it's cracked up to be.
Everyone loves Lucy, but especially now, during her centennial year. The "wacky redhead," as she was often billed, was born in Jamestown, New York, on August 6, 1911, so August is the 100th anniversary of her birth. Over the years, doll companies have issued some stunning renderings of her best-loved, funny bits, and this year, as well, more are on hand to commemorate the celebration. I know that I shall be picking up one—or maybe two, perhaps three? (I must confess, I feel like I'm on the chocolate-factory assembly line here. I'd just love to grab hold of all the great products as they come down the manufacturing conveyor belt, a Lucy fan let loose in the proverbial candy store!)
It's difficult to believe, but MTV has turned 30 years old this month. When it first launched, the network functioned as a video jukebox. It was the repository for some really cutting-edge, mind-blowing musical montages. It was also the dumping ground for some pretty schlocky, low-rent efforts. (We're talking cheesy, clunky musical outings that make Rebecca Black's self-produced "Friday" look like a spark of genius.) But over time, the network reinvented itself, inspired many vocalists who have raised the video format to a work of art, and cemented its standing as a pop culture landmark. Oh, it's also given us "Jersey Shore"! So, much for evolution.
Over the last year we've been building a new, home-based ritual: the family movie night. With the invention of the DVD and the arrival of its sleek, sophisticated cousin, the Blu-ray player, it really does feel like "Hollywood on the Hudson" in my house. The images are crisp; the choice of movies is enormous; the amount of fun is immeasurable. All it takes is a trip to the library (films are free), a visit to Redbox (rentals for a mere buck each), or crafty buying on eBay, and the gamut of family entertainment is rich and rewarding. My kids love it! We all get to sit together, munch on popcorn, talk at appropriate pauses, and enjoy a movie night-out, without having to leave our living room. And best of all, we can create our own theme events: like a doll double-bill.
It's an unavoidable fact of life: we all are going to die one day. Yes, that's a "downer" way to begin this week's blog, but it's the truth, and perhaps we all need to remind ourselves of that. On Thursday night, July 21, Elliot Handler, the co-founder of Mattel, passed away. He was 95 years old. His age shows that he had a long life; and the way that his family and friends have praised him in quotes to the press reveals that he had a happy life. That's what we all want in the end, isn't it? A long and happy life.
Recently, Kate Beckinsale talked to reporters about life as an action figure. The actress, who was once heralded as an heir apparent to the likes of Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave, and Judi Dench, karate-chopped those comparisons when she became the leading lady in a string of big-budget horror movies and martial arts flicks. The seemingly well-groomed hothouse flower was, in reality, an angry, aggressive Venus flytrap. Beckinsale laughingly said, "There used to be an aroma of tea and crumpets around me when I entered a room. That's not there anymore."
My friend Cam and I have a weekly ritual. For us, it holds the same allure as a Victoria's Secret runway show has for Charlie Sheen and Drew Carey. (Yup, the eyeglass-wearing comic is notorious for his model-chasing ways! Go figure.) It's the equivalent of Monday-night football for "Cheeseheads" and "Gang Green" fans, "Big Blue" diehards and feisty folks who have sworn allegiance to the "Patriot Nation." I'm talking about "Hoarders" on A&E, an absolute swamp for the senses, but somehow it functions like a siren call for collectors who always fear they are simply one purchase away from being pulled into this pull-no-punches documentary. (By the way, it's the king of these gawking-at-garbage programs, outjunking "Buried Alive," "Clean Sweep," and even "Clean House," despite the effusive Niecy Nash on board.)
This morning my phone rang and the voice of my pal Cameron shouted into the earpiece, "It's happening again! We are being declared mentally unfit and incompetent."
For those of you who have been following my blogs, you are familiar with Cameron—a loud, proud, and totally devoted doll collector of the male persuasion. Despite constant promises NOT to buy another doll, the poor fellow just can't help himself. He has never met a fashion doll, celebrity likeness, pop culture icon, or impulse purchase that he can resist.

In British Columbia, salmon are sacred. For centuries, they have nourished First Nations and settlers alike, and continue to sustain virtually all of the wildlife we cherish in B.C.: orcas, eagles, bears, seals and sea lions, wolves and even our forests. Wild salmon make life possible on the West Coast. So why are our federal and provincial governments trying to kill them? I do not speak of simple neglect. I mean actively working towards the destruction of wild salmon.
After my meeting with the Health Minister Rona Ambrose in November, 2014, I was under the impression that labelling genetically modified foods was up to the scientists at Health Canada. But when I asked two of Health Canada's senior officials about it, I was told that it's not a health and safety issue; therefore it is not within their mandate. Shouldn't the Ministry of Health and Health Canada be looking for conclusive proof that GMOs are safe? I think that is a better way to look out for the health of Canadians.

Global Activism: Pictures help transform communities and connect kids around the globe
Each Thursday on Global Activism we hear about an individual who's decided to work to make the world a better place.
Ryan Ansin is the founder of Every Person Has a Story (EPHAS). The organization runs photography clinics for people in developing countries so they can learn to document what is happening in their communities. Then EPHAS pairs them up with kids and schools around the United States who help support projects in those communities. It's a unique way for American kids to learn about life in places like Rwanda or Haiti.
Ryan got the idea while he was working in film production, making videos for non-profit organizations. He was asked to make a video for a foundation in Cambodia that worked with victims of sex trafficking. But in the process he realized that he wasn't the best person to make the video.
We talk with the founder, Ryan Ansin, about how his projects are transforming these communities.
Chicago Public Media (WBEZ) has not independently investigated any persons or organizations that appear on the Global Activism series and does not endorse any such person or organization.

So I did this wicked awesome ride down Mount Wilson with Linnea and my brother last Friday. We climbed for three hours and then dropped over 4000 feet in 45 minutes, with 2600 of those feet coming on an awesome sidehill singletrack run, full of crazy-tight switchbacks and steep drops on the low side. Obviously we totally ripped, and I was only scared a few times, when there was a hundred-foot precipice to the left and the trail was only six inches wide.
Then I watched the helmet cam, and it turns out I'm kind of a wuss.
Hoegee Trail Mt Wilson Helmet Cam from colin reuter on Vimeo.
I was just complaining about how cameras don't adequately convey pitch and speed, or maybe it's just that by 2009 we've all seen so many insane bike videos that every time we shred the tiniest bit of gnar we think it's gonna come out like this.
In other words, I feel Thom's pain, but here is a video with some stuff I did set to some music I like, I hope you like it too.
King of Burlingame is coming up fast and only has 13 spots left at the time of this writing. Several 'cross nemeses/victims are on the prereg list so I'm hoping this whole vacation-to-business-trip-(to-50/50-grind-to-fakie) thing works as a surrogate for doing real base training.

If I heard correctly last night, the folks at NPR's Marketplace will be doing a piece on geodata collection with one of the data vendors on tonight's edition. I suspect it's NAVTEQ as its marketing department has done a great job of getting stories on its field workers in most of the big papers.
Too bad they couldn't run it during Geography Awareness Week!
So, "wind up your radios" and tune in.

I have personally used the above link before and had much success in ridding my desktop of trojans and viruses that AVG just would not touch.
These people are great! It is a free site and you have to be patient if you decide to listen to them and let them help you get rid of the junk. They give great instructions and walk you through exactly what you need to do to get rid of the really stubborn stuff. They help so many people so somtimes it takes them a day or a few hours to get back to you. I did a lot of reading at the site on my own that helped me even further.
I give them kudos for cleaning my machine! I have kept HijackThis and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (free software that they ask you to download to help and they tell you how to use) on my machine since and run them ever so often to make sure my machine stays clean. You need to know what you are doing though to run those programs, so I am not suggesting that anyone use them without the help from those tech guys.
Good luck!

Mayor Contends a City Tax for Pre-K Offers Stability
Regardless of pledges to expand pre-kindergarten from Albany, Mayor Bill de Blasio said he's forging ahead with his call to fund universal, full-day pre-kindergarten and after-school programs in New York City with a tax on residents earning more than $500,000.
Paying for the program through this surcharge on the wealthy, he said at a Monday press conference, is a more stable funding stream and provides New York City with the ability to implement the programs quickly.
"The fact that it's a dedicated tax is reassuring to many people -- that it's not fungible, it's not moveable, it's not for other things in education, it's just for these two things and it will remain just for these two things," said de Blasio. "All of that is the reason why we need it in this form."
De Blasio spoke at the Union Johnson Early Learning Center in East Harlem. He was flanked by several union leaders who threw their collective support behind the expansion of pre-kindergarten and after-school programs.
De Blasio said the tax would raise approximately $530 million each year for five years to fund pre-K and after-school programs in the city. He said that he believed five years was enough time to make the programs fully operational, at which point the city could find resources within its budget to sustain the programs.
The mayor would not respond directly to questions about a report in Capital New York that Governor Andrew Cuomo planned to announce an increase in funding to expand pre-kindergarten.
Cuomo on Monday said he would not outline any proposals for expanding pre-K in his State of the State address on Wednesday. The governor did reiterate his support for expanding pre-K in general.
"I am in agreement with the mayor that pre-K is the direction this state has to head," said Cuomo. "I said that in the state of the state last year. I said it in my first year."
While Cuomo has been loathe to endorse raising taxes, on Monday he wouldn't elaborate on alternatives to funding an expansion of pre-K. He said he was still on "step one" of the goal to build support for expanding the program.
"Once we get there on the goal, the question becomes 'How do we pay for it?' And that's going to be a broader conversation with the legislature when everything else is on the table," Cuomo said.

The killing of a cat in Ngongotaha has led to pleas for residents to report roaming dogs.
Rotorua District Council animal control supervisor Kevin Coutts said he was "extremely concerned" about the killing of the cat in Kinder Pl on Saturday night.
He said an animal control officer attended the scene and "had no reason to believe" anything other than a dog was responsible for the death.
However as nobody saw or heard anything his team had nothing to go on when it came to identifying the killer, he said.
Mr Coutts said there had been no other reports of attacks recently.
"We are hoping it was an isolated incident," he said. "It happens. Dogs are prey animals. Cats run, dogs will chase them."
He said a dog that killed a cat would probably not attack a person but it was a concern when any animal was killed.
"It's a concern that dog owners are not being responsible. If you see dogs roaming contact us."
Legally dogs are not allowed off their property without being on a leash, at any time of the day.
Mr Coutts said if residents were able to catch and tie up a roaming dog, an animal control officer would come out day or night.
"We can also supply dog traps, we do it all the time. We have half a dozen of them and are continually moving them from one property to the other."
He said although cats were allowed to roam wherever they liked, owners should consider keeping them inside at night.
"Wherever there's roaming dogs around Rotorua, there's a concern for cat owners."
A Kinder St resident told the Rotorua Daily Post her neighbour, the dead cat's owner, was distraught at its death.
She said she had heard of another cat being attacked in the area about a month ago, which luckily survived.
"People need to report these things. Too many people think it's a one off [and don't bother], that's wrong," she said. "Ring the council and keep your cats inside."To report a roaming dog, call Animal Control on (07) 348 4199.

Design and Evaluation of an Internet Site to Educate Women with Disabilities on Reproductive Health Care
- Cite this article as:

Women with disabilities often do not receive adequate reproductive health care. In order to improve their health, they need to be better informed. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if the Internet can effectively be used to educate women with disabilities about reproductive health. A time-series design was utilized in which the knowledge of each participant was tested before and after she toured an Internet site on reproductive health. The women were also surveyed for demographic data and for their comments on the site. To be included in the study, a woman had to be over the age of eighteen and have a mobility impairment. Twenty-six women from the United States and Canada participated in the study. Like other Internet users, they were predominately white, highly educated, and relatively affluent. They used the Internet primarily for communication (e-mail). One of the most significant findings in this study was that, although the women surveyed were highly educated, they had fundamental deficits in their knowledge of reproductive health. Thus, although these women did not match other women with disabilities demographically, they shared a need for education on reproductive health. A second significant finding was that the web site was effective in increasing the participants' knowledge of reproductive health. This was indicated by the statistically significant 10.00% increase in post-test scores over pre-test scores and by the women's positive feedback. Thus, the Internet site developed for this pilot study did prove to be a valuable education tool. As the Internet continues to expand and users continue to diversify, health education sites of this type should become even more effective in helping women with disabilities to break down traditional barriers and lead healthier lives.

A weapon is a tool which can be used during combat to kill or incapacitate, to destroy property, or to otherwise render resources non-functional or unavailable.
It may be used to attack and defend, and consequently also to threaten or protect.
There are essentially three facets to classifying weapon types: who uses it, how it works, and what it targets.

City wants penalties for conducting public business on personal accounts
EL PASO, Texas - The City of El Paso's Ethics Commission will evaluate how to penalize city officials and employees who conduct city business on personal electronic devices or accounts.
City Council on Tuesday passed a resolution that requires all City employees, volunteers and elected officials to forward any email, text message, or instant message to their city email, if they receive it on a personal account or device.
The resolution is an effort to comply to a new state law which says all communication about government business, no matter the device or account it's sent, contained, or stored is public record.
Any City staff who is communicating about public business, must also respond to those emails via their city accounts. City Rep. Emma Acosta said a resolution is not enough.
"I don't know that a resolution really does anything. A resolution doesn't really have any substance to it. It's like a policy that you write and that's it. We need to impose sanctions on those individuals that maybe do not forward their emails to the City server," said Acosta.
City Council voted to take the resolution to the Ethics Commission, who has 30 days to review it and make suggestions on penalties for violator.
It's still unclear how the City will monitor or ever know if someone has violated the policy. Some government watchogs have said measures like this are often unenforceable, because there's no way the City can know if someone did not forward emails to their City account.
The new resolution doesn't force the city to release documents that were requested before it passed and the city has refused to turn over.
Last September, ABC-7, El Diario, and government watchdog, Stephanie Townsend Allala, requested emails from the personal accounts of city representatives dealing with the baseball stadium.
The City released thousands of emails, but withheld others and is currently suing Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who in an opinion, said the City should release some of the withheld emails. The City is still refusing to release them and has spent about $7,000 on the litigation.
City Attorney Syliva Firth said the resolution is not retroactive.
"It would be effective once passed by mayor and council so it's just a forward document. It has nothing to do with what happened in the past," she said Tuesday.
It's unclear how the City will resolve the issue.
"Next week our outside counsel will be visiting and we'll be present to discuss the item with city council. We're still working and looking for a resolution," said Firth.
Officials said City stall will be trained on the new policy, including how to handle social media.

University of California, Berkeley
Berkeley, CA: Aside from its many Nobel Laureates (who get parking spaces especially for them), the really low numbers (26.6 percent acceptance rate), and the really high numbers (GPA, SAT, ACT), which apply to many excellent schools, the University of California, Berkeley, or Cal, has many other important qualities for students.
When I toured Cal, aside from its strong programs, the most obvious plus to me was the location. Berkeley is an exciting, stimulating college city, perfect for the liberal-minded, independent student. It seems a smaller, Western alternative to New York City. However, the campus itself is not small. It spreads across thousands of acres sprinkled with shockingly beautiful greenery, buildings, and sunshine.
A gentle wind is a common visitor, gracing the large student population.

"Lord, I'm in." In 2007, Pastor Matthew Cork uttered these words after witnessing the poverty and persecution of India's Dalits--the "Untouchables," the Slum Dogs--and among the world's most exploited people. The gripping new book Why Not Today, tells how Matthew and the members of Friends Church in affluent Orange County California answer God's call to join the fight against human trafficking. This global battle gets personal as Cork commits to an audacious vision--$20 million from Friends Church over 10 years to build 200 schools. The church even took up the challenge of communicating the story worldwide by producing the film NOT TODAY. The book, like that movie, brings a worldwide problem to life through personal stories. Why Not Today inspires, engages and informs readers, showing how they can join the fight on behalf of "the least of these" and the time to do it . . . Why Not Today?

PEX Radiant Heating
Hey Guys,
I just purchased a foreclosed house, which had all of the heating on the first floor removed. I decided to install a pex radiant heating system on the first floor, where the pex will be installed in circuits between the joist in the basement, below the subfloor. I purchased all of the equipment including the oxygen barrier pex, a 4-port manifold, some aluminum transfer plates and all of the equipment for the installation.
I'm trying to do as much of the work myself and I just finished installing all of the circuits below the subfloor and it looks like this: http://corvallisdowntownliving.com/S...taple%20up.png
(This isn't my actual install, but it looks identical to this with 4 equal length circuits covering the entire first floor).
All of my lines are connected to the return and supply side of my manifold, like so: https://www.houseneeds.com/shop/Imag...lds_xlarge.jpg (again, not my actual install, but identical equipment)
Next I need to hook this up to my furnace. My furnace is set up for 2 zones, one for the upstairs and one for the downstairs.
I've been told I need a mixing valve to help regulate the temperature between the supply and return lines, but I'm not exactly sure where to install this.
Can someone tell me what I need between the manifold and the furnace? If you need more information please let me know and I can supply you with pictures later tonight.
Thanks in advance for the help. -Justin.
Mixing/tempering valve. the circ pulls through it.
Thanks Beenthere.
Another question...which I feel stupid asking but anyways..how do I thermostatically control this system?
Get a Taco zone control panel. Both zones will have their own stat and their own circulator.

Immigration attorneys (sometimes called "green card lawyers") represent people who want to come to the United States, whether it be for schooling, work, or just a visit. Immigration lawyers can also help undocumented immigrants found living in the U.S. without permission. Immigration laws govern who can enter the U.S., how long they can stay, what they can do while they are here, and how they can become American citizens. If you are not a U.S. citizen and want to apply for a green card or other visa, or if you are already in the U.S. and have been threatened with deportation, an immigration lawyer can help you.
