Wednesday, April 18, 2012 EPA Protects Clean Air Nationwide from Fracking
Agency Finalizes New Safeguards to Curb Cancer-causing Pollution Contact: Jeremy Nichols (303) 573-4898 x 1303
Additional Contact:
Mike Eisenfeld, San Juan Citizens Alliance New Mexico Energy Coordinator, (505) 360-8994
Denver—The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency adopted new safeguards to protect people from fracking throughout the nation today, finalizing standards that will keep cancer-causing compounds out the air, curb global warming pollution, and ensure that up-to-date emission controls are used across the country. "These rules are a major American public health milestone. With our clean air literally being fracked away across the nation, these rules promise to safeguard our communities and keep the dirty process of drilling in check," said Jeremy Nichols, WildEarth Guardians' Climate and Energy Program Director. "Although we are disappointed that EPA may condone wasteful drilling, on the whole, this is a win-win plan that protects people and promotes responsible energy development." The safeguards target toxic air pollution, ensure cost-effective clean air technologies are used throughout the oil and gas industry, and strengthen a critical safety net for public health. "We are pleased to see the EPA taking such strong steps for our health and welfare," said Mike Eisenfeld, San Juan Citizens Alliance New Mexico Energy Coordinator. "We can't frack our way to clean air, and although we still have work to do to keep people safe, we're making progress in keeping poisons out of our air and promoting clean energy." Spurred by a settlement agreement reached with WildEarth Guardians and the San Juan Citizens Alliance, in a lawsuit where they were represented by the public interest law firm Earthjustice, the EPA's rules today follow through with a mandatory duty under the Clean Air Act to keep air quality regulations up-to-date with science. Most, if not all, of the final safeguards reduce air pollution by encouraging the oil and gas industry to recover more oil and gas, a "win-win" solution. Among the highlights of the EPA's final rules, they would: - Generate a net savings of $11-19 million annually due to increased recovery of methane, otherwise known as natural gas. - Reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by up to 290,000 tons, an industry-wide reduction of around 15%. VOCs react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, the key ingredient of smog and contain other toxic compounds. - Reduce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, by 1.7 million tons, which is equal to 33 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This will be like eliminating the carbon dioxide emissions of 8 coal-fired power plants. - Reduce toxic air pollutants, such as benzene, a known carcinogen, by 20,000 tons, around a 25% reduction. Current regulations are woefully outdated, with some not updated since 1985, and fail to adequately protect public health and welfare. Compounding these outdated standards it that oil and gas drilling and fracking is taking a heavy toll on air quality. In many parts of the western United States, for example, drilling and fracking has pushed ground-level ozone, the key ingredient of smog, above health limits. In western Wyoming and northeast Utah, smog levels have been higher than in Los Angeles. Additionally, in western Colorado's Garfield County, drilling has increased by more than 132 percent since 2004, brining more than 7,000 new wells to the region. According to the State of Colorado, oil and gas operations in the County are responsible for more than 67% percent of all benzene emissions—a known carcinogen. Studies by the state show that Garfield County residents face higher health risks because of this, in some cases facing an "unacceptable" cancer risk. These findings were confirmed by a peer-reviewed study slated to be published in the Journal, Science of the Total Environment, which found that people living near fracking face increased health risks due to benzene and other toxic compounds. Unfortunately, current federal regulations fail to limit benzene and other toxic emissions from fracking in order to protect public health. Although WildEarth Guardians and the San Juan Citizens Alliance are disappointed that the rules postpone requiring green completions for two and a half years and do not directly regulate methane, they admit they are a major step forward. "More work needs to be done to ensure people are fully protected from drilling and fracking," said Nichols. "This is a risky process, we can ill-afford to wait for people to get sick or worse before taking steps to keep harmful air pollution out of the air we breathe." Nationwide, the safeguards will be the first step toward protecting communities in a number of states with oil and gas operations, including California, New York, Pennsylvania, Alaska, and Texas. Because state air quality regulations must at least be as stringent as federal regulations, the final rules will provide a critically important safety net for public health.

For years, Lizza Nelson waged war against a dark and debilitating condition.
"It was just constant suffering. Like, constant anguish," she said.
Like many Utah women, Nelson was depressed. In fact, the beehive state has the highest rate of depression in the country, and women suffer from it at least two times more than men.
"It's like being paralyzed but, oh it's awful," Nelson said.
Experts say, genetics, a chemical imbalance in the brain, or even bad weather can cause depression. So can trauma, sudden change, and societal pressures. In nelson's case, it was the pressure she felt to be perfect.
"I remember being very competitive in school like I had to get straight A's and I had to be the best at everything I did," Nelson said.
She's not alone. Doctor Kris Doty, associate professor at Utah Valley University said many Utah women have a problem with perfection, and for some, the despair started on Sundays.
"I used to be a crisis worker in an emergency room in a pretty busy hospital and on Sundays we would see LDS women come in after church in acute anxiety or depressed states," Doty said.
That spawned a study. In a research sample of depressed women who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Doty found that 20 out of 20 were perfectionists, even when it came to their faith.
"I think it gets really sticky when you think I have to be spiritually the best," Doty said.
But Nelson still tried, sending her into a spiral.
"If you put a stigma on spirituality equals happiness, righteousness equals cheer, then if you're struggling with it then of course your mind is like well I guess I'm wicked. I guess that I'm doing it all wrong. I guess I'm not measuring up, I'm not righteous," she said.
A conclusion she came to after sensing judgment from others.
"I think there is a lot of competition with each other for whatever reason," Nelson said.
Doty agreed. She said many Utah women are doing a song and dance, putting on a show, all to showcase a perfect family dynamic.
"I don't see women who fit that, but I see women who are trying to fit that, and it just, it doesn't need to be," Doty said
She also said it's not synonymous with spiritual teachings.
"It is not the doctrine, I've looked at general conference addresses in recent years and there's no one lashing these women on the backs, they're just... I'm not even sure why it self perpetuates but it does," Doty said.
She said it needs to stop.
"We just have to get to the point where we can create an atmosphere where it's ok to fall down and we just get up and we dust ourselves off have a little laugh and move forward," she said.
That's a problem for perfectionists, but a problem Nelson has vowed to solve. She drove out her depression a year ago and now that her load has been lifted, she's all smiles.
It's important to note, we reached out to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for comment. They respectfully declined to participate in time for our series to air.

Chicanos, Latinos, Hispanics: The Invisible Ones (Memorial Day 2012)
Friday, May 25th, 2012Hispanics, The Invisible Ones
By Jaime Andres Pretell
In the US, the Hispanic contributions are all but invisible in the Mall in DC.
If you scroll through the museums, you have:
African American Civil War Memorial Museum
Anacostia Museum
Lillian & Albert Small Jewish Museum
National Jewish Museum
National Museum of African American History and Culture
National Museum of African Art
National Museum of the American Indian
National Museum of American Jewish Military History
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Yet, there is no National Museum of the Latino/Hispanic.
Yet Latinos have played a huge role in the formation of this country.
It seems having been ruled by Spain first has created a coat of invisibility for the millions of Spanish descent, Indigenous descent, African descent and Mestizos/Criollos, who come from those cultures. The US ignores its largest minority, forgetting that Mestizo Americans, who are Native American as well (but ignored in the Museum of the American Indian) are the largest indigenous population in the US. The US ignores the contributions of the Spanish and their descendants in all their wars, starting with the very independence of this country if Spanish Louisiana an Cuba hadn't provided financial and battlefield assistance that allowed this country to exist in the first place (but completely ignored in the Museums that deal with the American Revolution). The US ignores the huge presence of Afro-Latinos and other Afrodescendientes from the Spanish speaking diaspora (but I bet they won't be represented in the upcoming National Museum of African American History and Culture, as they have failed to be represented in other African American museums in the area).
Hispanics/Latinos have sent more soldiers to die, per capita, in wars of this nation than any other ethnic group. Yet we are still invisible. So when will we wake up?

LAKE LEELANAU -- The Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) Trails now has a new resource to groom the Leelanau Trail for skiing between Traverse City and Suttons Bay.
The new grooming attachment, called a Ginzu groomer, is designed to groom for both classic and skate ski techniques.
The Leelanau Trail is generally groomed once a week, usually on Fridays or as needed.
TART has also made an agreement to groom Leelanau County's Veronica Valley Park on a trial basis. Veronica Valley is located in Bingham Township on County Road 641 (Lake Leelanau Drive) and Maple Valley Road.
The initial groom was on Tuesday. Officials hope people will take advantage of the new trails.
The 93-acre park was formerly a golf course. The county purchased the property in 2008.

Someone Really Doesn't Like Eric Chavez
You probably can't see this unless you click on the below image or click this link to his Baseball-Reference.com page, but someone has sponsored Eric Chavez' baseball-reference player page and put an ad up that says this:
Death, Taxes, and Chavy flailing at high cheese sponsor(s) this page.
Some things never change. Chavy in the 2001 playoffs: whiffing on face-high fastballs. Chavy in the 2006 playoffs: whiffing on face-high fastballs. Chavy, when are you gonna learn that you're not supposed to swing at that??? For cryin out loud.
That is awesome dedication to player hatin' right there. If you're willing to pay cash money to air your grievances about a player that you cannot stand and display it on his virtual baseball card, you sir are a hater extraordinare. Bravo. Bravo.
Who would you do this for?

This is the second in a series of blog posts intended to help you determine when your four-legged family member might benefit from a visit with a veterinary specialist. Last week we visited the world of veterinary ophthalmology. This week, the focus is dermatology.
Veterinarians who specialize in dermatology devote their professional lives to diseases of the skin and ears. Itchy, scaly, bald, and greasy are just a few of their favorite adjectives. When should your pet be evaluated by a board certified veterinary dermatologist? I strongly encourage you to consider this when:
To find a board certified veterinary dermatologist in your community or learn more about this specialty, visit the American College of Veterinary Dermatology.
Have you and your pet ever visited a veterinary dermatologist? What was the reason and what was the outcome?

Weight Watchers could be coming to the Boca Grande Community Center, if enough islanders show interest in the program.
Marta Howell, executive director of the Friends of the Boca Grande Community Center, has already claimed a spot as a charter member.
"There have been a few people out here who have done so well with the program, and they are an inspiration," she said. "But Englewood and Port Charlotte are a long trip, especially for people who work on the island. It would be almost impossible for many of them to make it to a meeting off-island."
Several members of the community have expressed an interest in having meetings on the island.
Howell has already had Susan Forbes, a member services specialist from Venice, out to look at the Community Center facilities.
There is a meeting scheduled for Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. in the Houghton Room, formerly the Reference Room.
The Community Center is looking for at least 30 people to come to the informational meeting. If you are interested, contact the Friends' office at 964-0827.

Jen and Enrique to tour together in the US this summer?
Espectáculos | 10/03/2012 - 11:40 pm - Tiempo de lectura: entre 2 y 4 minutos
Detalla Enrique Iglesias gira de verano en EU
Cancún, Quintana Roo.- Si de calentar el verano se trata, ¿qué mejor pareja que Enrique Iglesias y… Jennifer López?
Ambas estrellas latinas están ultimando detalles para la gira de verano que harán por distintas ciudades de Estados Unidos.
"Estamos planeando la forma de hacerlo, no sabemos las ciudades, sería alternar su show con el mío. Vamos en el proceso de definición de cómo será", dijo Iglesias, en exclusiva.
Pese a que declinó revelar más detalles, pues todavía están en el proceso de concretar ciertos aspectos, el equipo de trabajo del hijo de Julio Iglesias confirmó que es un hecho que será una mancuerna muy atractiva para los fans de los dos.
El intérprete de I Like It, quien actuaría anoche en el Moon Palace Hotel y Resort de Cancún, expresó su opinión acerca de la expareja de Marc Anthony.
"Hay muy buena química con ella; es un encanto, es trabajadora, luchadora, me hace mucha gracia, porque lo que es en el mercado en inglés comenzamos a la vez (a mediados de los 90), en la misma época", comentó el novio de la ex tenista rusa Anna Kournikova.
De hecho, ambos grabaron el tema Mouth 2 Mouth el año pasado, y ninguno esperaba que se filtrara en la red, pues no terminó de convencerlos.
"Esa canción no tenía que darse a conocer, no estaba planeada para ser sencillo… y bueno, se dio a conocer".
El madrileño, de 36 años y quien continúa con el Euphoria World Tour 2012, suena actualmente en la radio con I Like How It Feels, además de que acaba de hacer con la cantautora Dev una colaboración en la canción Naked.
"El resultado de las ventas del disco Euphoria (más de 2 millones de copias en todo el mundo) es un trabajo de equipo. Me alegra que a la gente le siga gustando.
"Siempre estoy componiendo, siempre estoy viendo qué cosas nuevas puedo hacer, y no sé si este año haya álbum (en estudio) nuevo. Estoy planeando una canción para el verano; si se da, será nueva, muy nueva".
Enrique Iglesias externó su alegría porque volverá a cantar en su natal Madrid el próximo 4 de mayo, después de más de una década sin presentarse ahí.

Details Enrique Iglesias summer tour in the United States
Cancun, Quintana Roo. - If this is the summer heat, what better couple Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez ...?
Both Latin stars are finalizing details for the summer tour that will make for different U.S. cities.
"We are planning how to do it, we know the cities, would switch their show with mine. We in the process of defining how it will be, "said Iglesias, exclusively.
Although he declined to disclose further details as they are still in the process to realize certain aspects, the team of the son of Julio Iglesias confirmed that it is a fact that will be a dumbbell very appealing to fans of both.
The interpreter I Like It, who would act last night at the Moon Palace Resort Cancun Hotel and expressed his opinion about the former partner of Marc Anthony.
"There are very good chemistry with her is a charm, working, struggling, makes me laugh, because what is on the market in English began at a time (the mid-90), at the same time," said the former boyfriend of Anna Kournikova Russian tennis player.
In fact, both recorded the song Mouth 2 Mouth last year, and none expected to seep into the network, it did not quite convince.
"That song did not have to be known, was not intended to be simple ... and well, was released."
The Spaniard, 36, who continues with the Euphoria World Tour 2012, currently playing on the radio with I Like How It Feels, plus they just did with the singer Dev collaboration on the song Naked.
"The result of Euphoria album sales (over 2 million copies worldwide) is a team effort. I'm glad that people follow him like it.
"I'm always writing, I'm always seeing what new things I can do, and do not know if this year has album (under study) again. I am planning a song for the summer, if given, will be new, very new. "
Enrique Iglesias expressed his joy that will sing in his native Madrid on May 4, after more than a decade without appearing there.

People are never happy..I hope this is true!!..Jen is not known for touring in the US, it is safer for her to go out with another big act. I like most of his songs, and he is nice on the eyes, so this is perfect.

Jen's concerts never last longer than 60-80 minutes (Puerto Rico, Mohegan Sun, her concert in Athens).
So I think it's a good thing that it's a joint tour: you will get 60-80 minutes of J-Lo AND 60-80 minutes of Enrique - for the same price (I think).

He got some nice songs, but I have never seen a performance of his that I liked.
If it really has to be with someone else, I prefer Pitbull.
Anyway, I'll wait for more details.

Totally agree. I think it's a great mix and a great way to hedge her bets and really get some momentum.
LMAO at you guys complaining, though. So first it's "she never tours" and when she plans one it's "she has to tour solo" Get a grip, guys! Her LOVE? album sales, unfortunately, do not justify a solo tour and you know Jen is going to have a massive show. This is a great way to make that happen.
If they are still hammering the details, I guess this won't be the announcement? Remember that Enrique was going to tour with Brit and then he backed out, so it needs to be hammered in there really well, lol.

When Jen came to Brazil, she said she would like to do a concert in Brazil, but that would be after the American Idol and the US Tour. So, I believe it's gonna happen. Of course I'd rather a solo tour than a joint tour, but I'm happy either way. I gotta see her in concert!

Sweet can't wait to see if it happens hope it does! Just suprised she isn't going on a solo one. But I don't mind either way. She could go right after idol and tour all summer. I wonder about that movie and if she is gonna get the role and all of that stuff as well but I can't wait for this. I am sure if she got the movie role though maybe she could work something out because they also said something about shooting that in the fall.

@Jenrox - massive album sales are not necessery for touring. Big touring acts nowadays are not mainstream and commerical, but yet they sell tour without problems. Kylie minogue last album sold less than Jens yet she had top 10 tour in 2010. I beleivee jen is capale to tour solo, since she never toured in Europe where she actually has biggest fanbase. And I believe general public doesn even know that she didn t have wolrdwide tour, probably think their citites were skipped, or actually didn t even think about fact that se never toured..
Also madonna had her biggest sticky and sweet tour but yet her album underpeformed in whole world..

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Proverbs - Chapter 10
Rabbi Dr. Gidon Rothstein
Love Conquers All (and other Proverbs)
This chapter starts with the introductory phrase, "Proverbs of Solomon," indicating that it is the start of the second section of the Book. In this section, the chapters have less of a thematic connection, and often contain a series of individual lessons.
Solomon starts by saying that a wise son makes his father (or, possibly, his Father) proud, but a foolish son pains his mother. Ill-gotten gains will not help a person, but the merit of giving charity can save one from death. A person lacking in Torah will make himself false scales, both literally and metaphorically. Those who judge justly will be richly rewarded.
The wise son gathers his crops at the proper time, while the foolish son sleeps through the harvest. (Sounds a little like the fable of the grasshopper and the ant, doesn't it? Well, Solomon did tell us in chapter 6 to look to the ant and emulate her ways.) The wise embrace G-d's commandments, while the foolish consider them a burden. The former will be secure, while the latter will be broken. A person who entices others to sin brings evil to the world, but the words of the righteous are a source of life.
When people quarrel, even things supposedly "forgiven and forgotten" get brought up again, but when people act with love towards one another, all their past indiscretions can be overlooked. (It's the same with G-d: when we please Him by improving our deeds, He will overlook our previous mistakes.) A wise person acknowledges the error of their ways when it is pointed out to them, while the foolish deny and deny even as they're suffering the consequences of their actions. (Rashi gives an example of each of these. David acknowledged his sin when the prophet Nathan brought it to his attention in II Samuel chapter 12. The Pharaoh of the Exodus, however, suffered plague after plague rather than change his ways.) The actions of the righteous rush them towards life, while those of the wicked lead to sin, and therefore death. (Rashi contrasts the righteousness of Solomon himself with his descendant, the evil King Menashe. Solomon built the Temple, a source of life, while Menashe desecrated it with idols.)
If a person fails to rebuke others for their misdeeds, going so far as to flatter them for their actions, then he is misleading them and not doing them any favors. A gossip will not be respected by others for this repulsive habit. Verbosity invariably leads to sin, so you'd be wise to speak little. Righteous people carefully choose their words and their prayers bring much good into the world. Foolish people perish because they refuse to listen when others try to correct them.
Material blessings come from G-d and, no matter how hard we work, we cannot walk away with more than He has decreed for us. Foolish people carry out sinful acts without even thinking about them; the wise consider their actions and proceed accordingly. The wicked will receive that which they most fear, while the righteous will have their hearts' desires. (Rashi gives us an example of the wicked receiving that which they dread. The builders of the "Tower of Babel" in Genesis chapter 11 feared being scattered across the land, the very fate they brought upon themselves. That is the very definition of irony.) The wicked disappear suddenly, as if in a whirlwind, but the righteous stand fast.
The righteous can expect to ultimately see joy; that which the wicked hope to see will not come to pass. The righteous may be down from time to time, but they will not remain there. Conversely, the wicked constantly skate along the edge of disaster. The words of the righteous are pleasant and spread wisdom, while the wicked speak lies and it's only a matter of time before their tongues get them into trouble.

LD 27 candidates debate on September 9
by Carolyn Classen on Sep. 08, 2010, under Life, PoliticsComing up on Thursday Sept. 9, the Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission (CCEC) debate between "clean" candidates running for LD 27 State Senate and House of Representatives. There are 2 open seats in the House race as both current Democrats Rep. Phil Lopes and Rep. Olivia Cajero Bedford are termed out.
Ms. Cajero Bedford just won the Democratic nomination for State Senate in that same district, and faces little opposition in the General Election, only write-in Republican candidates Duke Schechter and Jaime Vasquez.
The CCEC debate is at PCC West campus
West Campus Student Lounge
2202 W Anklam Rd
at 6 p.m.
and the video of this debate will be available online w/in 72 hours, at http://www.azcleanelections.gov/home/video/generaldebatevids2010.aspx
However there is lots of opposition for the 2 Democrats Sally Ann Gonzales and Dr. Macario Saldate nominated in the August 24 house primary. Their websites are: http://www.votemacariosaldate2010.info/, and www.www.votesallygonzales.com. Gonzales is President of Guadalupe Community Development Corp., and is a former 2 term District 10 House Rep.(1996 to 2000), former Tribal Council member & Secretary of Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona (1992 – 1996). Dr. Macario Saldate IV, is the Director of Guadalajara Summer School,and a retired UA Educational Foundations & Administration professor.
Republican Robert Compton, a service technician at Hamstra heating/cooling company (www.thatcomptonguy.com) is making his first bid for public office. Green Party candidate Solberg ran before for this seat in 2008, and is the owner of Kent's Tools (a small business on Grant Road), www.kent4house.org. Chaplain Gene Chewning (www.votechewning.com) ran for this seat in 2006 as a Republican, and is now an Independent seeking one of the these two House seats as well. So there's one of each– Republican, Green, and Independent, facing off with the 2 Democrats.
All candidates are participating in the "clean" elections program.
Choose between 2 of these 5 candidates for LD 27 House of Representatives. LD 27 has
the following registered voters: 40,600 Democrats, 16,156 Republicans, 800 Libertarians, 295 Greens, and 24,290 Independents, for a total of 82,151 voters (from Pima County Recorders website, click here.)

Continual coverage of the trial of Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
5:50 p.m. Testimony done for the day
Nicholas Pontarelli's testimony has concluded and court is done for the day. Testimony is scheduled to resume Thursday morning.
5:15 p.m. 'I was in shock'
Kathleen Savio's next-door neighbor Nicholas Pontarelli wasn't allowed to testify that he didn't see any scratches or scrapes on her arms the afternoon before prosecutors believe she drowned in her bathtub.
Pontarelli is testifying about what happened the weekend Savio, who he called a "second mother," was found dead in 2004.
He said on Monday night, he and other family members entered Savio's home after Drew Peterson called a locksmith to the house.
Pontarelli saw an open carton of orange juice with the cap off on the kitchen island, which he closed and put it in the refrigerator.
"She was the type of person who would put it away and would be on the kids about putting stuff away," he said.
He entered the bathroom where Savio died after his mother screamed and saw her body but didn't touch anything on the tub, Pontarelli testified.
"I just kind of stood back; I leaned back against her bed," he said.
Then he left the house. "I was in shock."
The next day, Pontarelli said he saw Peterson, Peterson's wife, Stacy, and Peterson's son Stephen enter the home and remove items. Peterson owned the home with Savio.
4:50 p.m. 'The issue has been resolved'
Judge Edward Burmila has returned to the bench.
"The issue has been resolved, and the juror will remain seated," he said.
Nicholas Pontarelli's testimony has resumed.
4:40 p.m. Juror knows witness on the stand
Judge Edward Burmila stopped the proceedings and ordered attorneys and a juror to meet him in his chambers after one of the jurors said he knows the witness now on the stand, Kathleen Savio's next-door neighbor Nicholas Pontarelli.

Kick off 14:00 GMT at Stadio Carlo Castellani, Empoli
International Friendly
Italy - Macheda 88'(pen)
By Jamie Bradbury in Empoli
Click here to watch highlights of the match. A late penalty from Manchester United forward Federico Macheda gave Italy an unlikely victory over England Under-21s in Empoli.And it was a defeat that Stuart Pearce's young side didn't deserve as Leicester City defender Ben Mee was also sent off for the foul that presented the Azzurrini with their only shot on target in the second half from the spot. Despite a difficult start to the trip to Empoli which saw nine players from the original squad pull out, and then travel problems on the way to Italy that forced Pearce to abandon training plans, England were bright throughout.And with so many players missing it gave a chance for new players to impress, with a first cap for Joe Bennett, full debuts for Josh McEachran and Mee and Under-21 bows for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jay Rodriguez and Jon Howson.Italy, who for much of the game played like the away side, saw Roberto Soriano and Gianvito Misuraca both have chances inside ten minutes, but the first was off target and the second well dealt with by Frank Fielding in the England goal.That was the only save Fielding had to make during the 90 minutes as England began to take charge.But the story of the Three Lions' week got even more frustrating, particularly for Jack Rodwell, as the Everton midfielder - filling in at centre back due to the squad withdrawals - pulled up with an injury after 12 minutes. Burnley midfielder Jack Cork came on as his replacement highlighting his versatility and alongside Mee ensure that Italy were given little chance in front of goal.At the other end efforts were few and far between but England forward trio of James Vaughan with Aston Villa pair Marc Albrighton and Nathan Delfouneso either side tried their best to get in behind the Italy defence. Albrighton was looking his usual lively self and had a fierce drive from the right, but cut across the ball and it drifted wide.Henri Lansbury, who went in goal in the last game in Germany after Jason Steele was sent off, had a decent attempt from a 30-yard free-kick, though the keeper Carlo Pinsoglio was happy to see the ball go over.England were controlling the play, with the tidy McEachran working well alongside the industrious captain Fabrice Muamba and Lansbury. Meanwhile, debutant Bennett was enjoying his first foray at Under-21 level, showing composure at left-back as well as some neat turns and Cork's coolness under pressure at the back allowed him to take care of anything Italy had to offer. Albrighton was presented with a glorious opening inside the first minute. A good England passing move orchestrated by McEachran set the Villa man up inside the area but his control, for once, let him down.Macheda, who is on loan at Sampdoria, was having a quiet afternoon under the watchful eyes of Cork and central defensive partner Mee, but did manage to open up space for a shot on the left. Fielding was untroubled, watching the ball hit the side netting.Pearce then handed out three debuts with half an hour left. Burnley's Rodriguez, Leeds United's Howson and Southampton's Oxlade-Chamberlain all coming on.Rodriguez's first touch was good, beginning an England attack on the right and he almost latched on to a Chamberlain pass in the area minutes later, but was held off by Michele Camporesi.Chamberlain, whose dad Mark represented England at Senior and Under-21 level and actually scored against Italy in the first leg of the 1984 European Championship semi-final, was soon demonstrating his potential on the left.At every opportunity the 17-year-old attacked right-back Alessandro Crescenzi with confidence and almost set up the opener, but Luca Caldirola cleared from danger.He was also played into a good position for a shot by McEachran but hit a tame snatched effort at Pinsoglio when he probably had more time.McEachran then split the Italian defence with a glorious through-ball for substitute Scott Sinclair but the keeper was out to narrow the angle.Sinclair then fired another arrowed effort from a Kieran Trippier pass that was sneaking inside the post, but Pinsoglio saved well.And England were to rue their missed opportunities with three minutes left as a long ball forward caught out the defence.Italy substitute Niccolo Giannetti was through one-on-one but Mee raced back to challenge. Unfortunately, though, it was deemed unfair by the Spanish official who pointed the the spot and reached for his red card.Macheda dispatched well, to the delight of the home crowd, ending England's visit in disappointment.

Give your dog the ultimate in comfort, warmth, and support with our Dream Lounger Dog Bed. Crafted by Orvis, using their years of experience crafting dog beds, with a core of the same TEMPUR material as our mattresses. Available in 3 sizes, and your choice of a quilted or fleece top, this bed will make a great addition to your home—and provide your dog a wonderful new place to relax.
Personalize with embroidery, up to 15 letters; allow 2 extra days for delivery.
We received this today in the mail and literally within 30 minutes of opening the box, our one year old 80 pound German Shepherd was sound asleep on it!!
My wife and I have had a Tempur-Pedic mattress ourselves for 2 years and wanted our pup to experience the same comfort as we do.
We got the X-Large sage fleece and although that is made for dogs over 100 pounds and our dog is only 80 pounds, our dog stretches out long to sleep and doesn't curl up like most dogs. So, keep in mind how your dog sleeps as you order your size.
The only thing that was a bit disappointing is on the pictures on the website, it looks like the fleece is a light brown, but in real life, it is a light gray color.
But bottom line, my dog is on this bed asleep as I type this review now, so that's all the proof you should need :)
Hope some more lucky dogs out there can experience this bed!!
This is a great bed except when the cover needs washing. It washes fine using cold water soap and drying on low. The problem is getting the cover off and on again. It fits way too tight and I have to struggle with it a lot to get it back on. The manufacturer needs to use an inch more fabric!

What can you observe in a Chinese factory?
Posted by: Omnitech (IP Logged)
Date: August 18, 2012 12:53AM
Here is a list of things that anyone can observe easily when visiting a Chinese factory:
Is the production floor clean? Are products in direct contact with the ground? Is the office organized? Or do they have papers all over their desks? Are the workers' toilets clean? Are there lines on the ground, and nameplates for each department? Do the workers wear protective equipment (masks, gloves…) when they perform dangerous operations? Are the operators afraid/nervous when you stop and look at them? Do the workers perform only 1 simple and repetitive operation, in front of a conveyor belt? Is production organized in islands (bad) or in line (better)? Is there a lot of work-in-process in the workshop? (You can read about the different types of production organization). What operations are they performing? If it is only packing, you are wasting your time (the real action is somewhere else). What other customers do they serve in your country? Have a look at the labels on the packing line, and then at the shipping marks in the cartons warehouse. Do they agree to show you the latest designs they developed for their other customers? Would they give you quotations for these proprietary designs? Does the showroom contain branded items? If some designs were developed for a specific customer, would they accept to make them for you too? To finish on a lighter note: make sure you don't go as far as the pointy-haired boss in the below cartoon.

track pants and sweaters? wtf haha! i wear t shirts and jeans with a fresh pair of kicks daily
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Staying on topic... Ordered the 4piece 3dcarbon kit today. Front lip, side skirts, and rear diffuser. I'm having 3dcarbon paint it so I don't have to deal with that hassle again. should arrive at my door in a few weeks!

Thanks!! My scorche double din dash showed up, I'll get pics of it when I unwrap the packaging!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
working on some little things today
decided to pull off the rear emblems. i read that there wasn't post holes on the mazda 2 portion but that was false... will be doing a light sand and blacking them out today. the front emblem is a PITA! i'll have to remove the front bumper to get it off since it doesn't use the usual clips it has 4 screws (assholes) i also removed the front license plate frame and put the cover on... much cleaner imo. oh and put on a Corksport license plate frame!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Looks like you will be the first to learn the truth about these cars.

Stoked to see how this is gonna look!
Another knocker, kIck this game around like soccer!
I'm starting to get nervous!!!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Major downfall of the 2 is it doesn't come with projector headlights. I could have been an asshole and fitted hid but I wanted to try something else first. I picked up these bulbs in hopes they would pair nicely with the Corksport led fog lights and they do :-)
Second, my scosche stereo installation kit finally arrived! I can finally use my pioneer in dash again!!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
i can buy a pair of projector headlamps for roughly $1k. ouch!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
no, retrofit your headlights, with aftermarket projectors. Your bulbs are H4 so the Morimoto Mini Projector would be a direct drop in with no cutting.
Heres a pic of my retro for an example:
the light output is incredible, and they are bixenon so you can keep your high beam functionality
EDIT: For more info check out theretrofitsource.com
they have everything you need
ohhh shittt! hahaha... NICE! that might be something i will do.
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Yea, they make a huge difference. If you ever decide to do a retro and want some info/advice on it, feel free to PM me.
until then, ill be following your thread
will be something for the future.... needs to get suspension sorted out first! thanks for the advice fellas!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
will i be taking the headlights apart when i retrofit? if so, i'll just paint then. i f'ing hate chrome!
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Yup.... Lol
I don't know how to do a retrofit, as in not sure how much if any cutting required, but you will have to at least remove that shield in front of bulb.
Retrofits might just drop in (from front). Dont quote me on that though.
Japan has hids in the headlights I believe. Not sure why we didn't get the option.
Because usdm is a buncha cheap bastards!
We have our first retrofit mazda2 on mazdas247 in the 2 sub section. He posted pics last night!
I better start moving faster!!!!!
What do you guys think of air suspension?
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
Looks like i can get into air suspension for roughly $3100. might be worth it with this being a daily driver. save up and do it right? i got about 10 guys on my local forum begging me to bag the 2.
my car: Shrek Jizzus Christ
it does have a solid rear axle... i read that installing airbags on a front solid axle is a bad idea, but the rear would be fine.. please tell me if i read wrong

Hey all,
I was wondering everyone's opinion or possible experience with CC on a sport bike? I started carrying several months ago and am quite use to it. XD9 Sub Compact, inside the waist at about 4 o'clock. I've carried while riding my sport bike, Yamaha R6, and it's felt very comfortable, even crouched over riding freeway speeds.
With the colder weather, I typically have two shirts, leather jacket, etc concealing it. I rode to work this morning, with only a t-shirt and lighter jacket. My work policy prohibits firearms in the building, so I always take it out and lock it in the rear seat. Then after work I discretely get it back out, and holster to ride home.
I realize that as it warms even more, I will lose the jacket and riding down the road I know it will be visible as my shirt flaps in the wind. This isn't much a concern to me, as Utah is an open-carry state so I know I will be within the law if it is visible to the public as I ride down the street. One concern I do have however, is arriving and leaving work. If I ride away from work, a block or two away and a co-worker sees it on me, could it create an issue at work with HR since 'he had it at work'. Leaving it in the parking lot is both within the law and work policy, but I'm afraid breeze could expose it close to work and visible to co-workers and might cause issues. My goal would be to keep it concealed as much as possible close to work proximity for this reason, but curious if anyone else has been in this position.
Does anyone else CC on a sport bike with an exposed back in the wind? And how do you keep it concealed in placed you definitely do not want open-carry to show?

Bill Gates doesn't like the liberal arts, Steve Jobs does
So Bill Gates lets us all know what he really has in mind on standards and the liberal arts. In a speech to the National Governors Association in late February, he suggests that higher education spending be devoted largely to job-producing disciplines.
In his view we should drop funding at the higher ed level for the liberal arts, because there is not much economic impact/job creation impact from the liberal arts.
Its in Apples DNA that technology alone is not enoughits technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing, and nowhere is that more true than in these post-PC devices.
I very much appreciate the view of Carol Geary Schneider, president of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, who argues that
the basic lessons of a liberal education are in fact crucial to the long-term employability of nonacademics. And to the extent that they might be taken as a cue to de-fund programs that arent part of a pipeline, Schneider said Gatess comments veered dangerously toward an unenlightened view of the value of higher education.Its my understanding that the Gates Foundation wants to prepare students for work, life and citizenship, Schneider wrote in an e-mail reply to an Inside Higher Ed request for comment. But Gatess remarks today seem to shave off two-thirds of that vision, while emphasizing a view of work-related learning that is much too narrow and unsettlingly dated. His call to focus on specific fields and departments, rather than whole institutions, implies a sharp dividing line between general education and specific majors that is, in fact, a relic from before the Cold War.
And the Gates folks led the entire country down the primrose path to national standards--standards that lopped in half Massachusetts' emphasis on literature in K-12 grades? I am not looking for our education system to manufacture Microsoft users. For a very smart and a very skeptical country, we are sometimes so facile.
Perhaps we could file this one under who would you rather talk with, go to the museum with, go to a concert with, share books with...

Meg knows this and likes to take me along when she is out of town for any length of time.

So far we have spent a good bit of time in Adelaide and the West Coast of Australia and we have been to the United States as well.
For the most part I sit around in hotel lobbies and work however. I usually have a lot of stuff to do no matter where I am and I want to get done before Meg gets back so that we can have some time together. Right now I am a bit less employed than usual and I am just killing time and going around Melbourne looking at the place. I was here when I was a kid, for a rugby competition. My club team won the local tournament back home and that qualified us to to come here and play for some big cup. Instead we got the snot beat out of us by some kids who all seemed to twice as big as any of us and just as fast. I actually played fairly well myself.
