Michelle Obama is planting an organic garden at the White House. If the nation's first lady can dig dirt, can't you? What better way to get fresh, locally grown, organic vegetables and herbs?
Plus, you can't beat the price. For a couple of dollars in seeds, you can enjoy an entire summer's worth of crops. In fact, gardening can save you hundreds of dollars in food each season you grow your own.
Follow these Top Ten Tips to get started.
Six major U.S. baby products manufacturers agreed to remove the toxic chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) from baby bottles, in an agreement reached with the Connecticut Attorney General.
Said Environmental Working Group, the non-profit research institute that's been advocating BPA-free products, "The action represents a critical breakthrough in protecting infants from the hazards of the synthetic estrogen and plastics component, which leaches easily into formula and food from BPA-laden food packaging.
"The industry agreement effectively recognizes that BPA is too dangerous for infants."
At least as far as baby bottles are concerned. Says EWG, "there is much more to be done. Other states and the federal government must take additional steps to see that this toxic hormone disruptor is removed not only from plastic baby bottles, but from the linings of cans for infant formula and other foods and from other sources of exposure such as sippy cups and bottled water bottles."
Todays deal underscores the need for the Congress and the Obama administration to overhaul federal chemicals policy to protect infants and children from exposures to toxic chemicals, said Environmental Working Group (EWG) Executive Director Richard Wiles.
When the public is forced to rely on state actions to achieve nationwide protections, we know the federal system is broken, Wiles said.
In their news release, EWG reports that U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) will soon re-introduce The Kid-Safe Chemicals Act in the Senate, with companion legislation to be offered in the House, according to California Congressman Henry Waxman (D). The legislation proposes a major overhaul of federal toxics chemical law, requiring that manufacturers demonstrate that chemicals are safe for infants and children before they enter the market.
The Toxin-Free Toddlers and Babies Act sets an upper limit of 0.1 parts per billion (ppb) of BPA in bottles and cups. The measure also proposes to bar can linings and jars found to leach 0.1 ppb or more of BPA into any liquid, food or beverage designed for children 3 and under.
Charmin, Kleenex Cottonelle, Quilted Northern and Scott are among the toilet papers and tissues that do the most harm to forests and the environment, according to a new report by Greenpeace.
The non-profit research group evaluated dozens of brands of toilet paper, facial tissue, paper, towels, and napkins according to three criteria:
How much recycled content they contained
Using 100% recycled content helps protect forests because it significantly reduces the demand for trees, especially trees coming from native forests.
How much of that was post-consumer waste
To get the top ranking, at least 50% post-consumer waste needed to be used in manufacturing the product.
How the paper was bleached
The top-ranked products are not bleached using chlorine, which can create the toxic byproduct dioxin.
Given how jittery the economy is, it's easy to get the jitters yourself when it comes to going green.
Isn't it great to know, then, that choosing the greenest option when you shop can actually be the most economical way to shop, too?
This was brought home to me in spades this morning, when I was stocking up on cat food. Now, there's nothing particularly 'green' about the food I feed my cat Midnight - nothing organic or free range or locally grown. But I had a choice between the package it came in. I could either buy individual four-pound bags, or one large 10-pound bag (which is far less energy and resource intensive to produce).
When I looked at the price difference, it was easy to make up my mind: one 10-pound bag actually cost $20 less than three four-pound bags! Twenty bucks! I couldn't believe it. ...
You don't need to be a complete vegetarian for your diet to help protect the planet. Just eat less meat. Here's why:
World Wildlife Fund estimates that, every year, an area of the world's rain forests larger than the state of New York is destroyed to create grazing land. In Latin America, says the United Nations, some 70% of forests in the Amazon basin have been cut down to raise cows.
If you've ever driven by a feed lot, you've probably had to hold your nose. No wonder. About 1.4 billion metric tons of solid manure are produced by U.S. farm animals each year - 130 times the quantity produced by people.This figure includes pigs and chickens as well as cattle, but cattle are the single largest source.
Two-thirds of the beef cattle raised in the U.S. are fattened up using hormones like steroids, testosterone and progesterone. When the cows pee, they can pollute surface and ground water with all these chemicals, affecting the ability of frogs and fish to reproduce, too. ...
If you're in the market for a new cell phone, consider one of these "green" models that were featured at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Cost: $9.99 with a two-year contract; buy through T-Mobile.
Motorola's MOTO W233 Renew is constructed of plastic made from recycled water bottles and can be completely recycled. It comes in packaging made of 100% recycled paper and includes a prepaid shipping envelope so you can easily recycle your old mobile phone. PLUS: Motorola pays to offset the carbon emissions created during manufacture and distribution, along with the first two years you use it. (Its carbon offset payments are going to support methane gas capture at a landfill in New Bedford, MA). ...
For Valentines Day, birthdays, anniversaries or other special occasions, giving flowers often seems like a gift from Mother Nature herself.
But when flowers are doused in pesticides and transported long (i.e., energy-intensive) distances, their eco-appeal quickly evaporates. The health impact conventionally-grown flowers has makes them even less desirable.
Consider this: Seventy percent of U.S. flowers are imported from Latin America, where growers in Columbia, Ecuador and other countries use pesticides that have long been banned in the U.S. A 2002 survey of 8,000 Colombian flower workers revealed exposure to 25 carcinogenic or highly toxic pesticides that are not used in the United States.
Often, women flower growers suffer impaired vision, asthma, and miscarriage or give birth to babies marked by lower birth weights and higher blood pressure. Thirty-five out of 72 Ecuadoran children tested by the Harvard School of Public Health experienced organophosphate pesticides in the womb while their mothers grew flowers. These children later suffered both higher blood pressure and poorer spatial ability than kids who escaped prenatal exposures. Overall, according to a study by the International Labor Rights Fund (ILRF), two-thirds of Colombian and Ecuadorian flower workers suffer work-related health problems ranging from impaired vision and neurological problems Some women give birth to stillborn infants, or see their children die within a month after birth.
Meanwhile, the International Labor Organization estimates that 20 percent of flower workers in Ecuador are children, who are more vulnerable to chemical hazards than adults because their immune systems and vital organs are still immature. According to Environmental News Network, roses can contain as much as 50 times the amount of pesticides that are legally allowed on the food we eat. The U.S. requires imported flowers to be bug-free, but unlike edible fruits and vegetables they are not tested for chemical residues. So even if youre not growing these flowers yourselves, you may still be bringing the chemicals used on them into your home.
Fortunately, shoppers have a whole bouquet of alternatives to conventionally grown flowers and plants. ...
Any day is a good day to eat chocolate as far as I'm concerned. But on no day is it so special as on Choc bar Valentine's Day, when heart-shaped boxes full of cocoa-based delicacies can keep people (well, me) happy pretty much all day.
That's particularly true if the cocoa is produced organically. Cocoa powder is derived from cacao seeds that grow in pods on the cacao tree. The tree's botanical name, Theobroma cacao, means "food of the gods," nomenclature with which I wholeheartedly agree. Cocoa "beans" are only called that once they're removed from the tree. What does any of this have to do with the environment? The cacao tree grows in the rainforest. Ideally, cacao trees will be grown on small farms, in the shade, to keep rainforests intact and reduce pesticide use.
Even better is organic cocoa that is also produced according to Fair Trade principles, ensuring that farmers are paid a decent wage for their work and no child labor is involved. In countries like Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa, children are being used like slaves to produce cocoa, with profits going to fund the country's civil war.
Online, at natural foods stores and food coops, and increasingly at local grocery stores, you can find organic, fair trade cocoa and chocolate. Here are some brands to look for: ...
Toxic chemicals keep turning up in lipstick.
Previously, I reported on dangerous lead levels in lipstick.
Now, according to research done in Canada, two other chemicals used in lipstick and other personal care products pose a significant threat to human health. The chemicals, known as D4 and D5 siloxanes, have been linked to uterine tumors and reproductive damage in various animals. In addition to being added to lipstick, the siloxanes are found in body lotion, hair care products, baby bottle nipples, cookware and home cleaning products. Because the chemicals persist in the environment and resist degrading, health officials worry they pose long-term risk to people and the planet.
As Canada moves forward to assess actions needed to reduce the use of these toxic chemicals under its Chemical Management Plan program, Environmental Working Group says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has yet to ...
What peanut butter products are safe to eat?
Earlier this month, products containing peanut butter produced by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) were discovered to be tainted with salmonella. Over 488 people have become ill; six have died.
The government has issued this list of products consumers should avoid. It is quite extensive and probably includes some of your favorite brands, so please review it carefully.
The FDA says so far, no brand name peanut butter sold in grocery stores is linked to the outbreak. Your Jiffy, Skippy and Peter Pan should be safe.
Many schools do not serve peanut butter because so many kids are allergic to peanuts. Schools that do serve peanut butter that they got from PCA have had their supplies recalled.
The FDA says you would be wise to avoid foods like processed cakes, candies, cookies and ...
Tis the season for snow and ice only fun if youre a penguin or like to walk with an ice pick.
For the rest of us, the big challenge is dealing with frozen precipitation once it hits the ground, especially if we want to be "eco friendly." These tips will help.
Whats wrong with rock salt? Many consumers use rock salt to clear a path through the snow around their homes. But this is not ideal for the planet.
Excess salts build up in the soil, just as they do with chemical fertilizers.
Salt residue prevents plants from absorbing moisture and nutrients.
Salts can leach heavy metals, which eventually make their way into water supplies.
Salt on grass or sidewalks close to roads can attract animals, which may be hit by cars if theyre licking the salt from the ground.
Plus, salt can burn our pets if it lodges in their paws.
Yes, salt does effectively melt snow. But is there a better way? ...
Environmentalists will be decked out in a hundred shades of green over the next few days as they celebrate Barack Obama's inauguration with no less than three "green" balls -- and I'm going to two of them!
The Green Environmental Ball: Maximum Celebration, Minimal Impact kicks things off Satuday, January 17 at 8 p.m. in the Mellon Auditorium, just a stone's throw from the White House. Various speakers will include Chris Paine (producer of the film 'Who Killed the Electric Car?'), Margie Alt, Executive Director of Environment America, and Graham Hill, Treehugger founder and now a muckety-muck at The Discovery Channel (The Discovery Channel's Planet Green network is the prime sponsor of the event). But the highlight of the evening will no doubt be the performance of Wyclef Jean, the Haitian-born Grammy Award-winning "musician/producer/social activist."
Every facet of the Green Inaugural Ball has been designed to reduce its impact on the environment, say event organizers. That means the "heavy hors d'oeuvres" will be organic, many of the drinks will be organic, throwaways will be at a minimum and recycling will be done to the max (hence the mantra of the party). Event organizers are even purchasing carbon credits to offset the transportation of all truck deliveries and staff commutes....
As much as I love the product variety at Trader Joe's, I hate the packaging waste.
Everything - apart from a few bananas - comes wrapped in excessive plastic or paper. What gives? On a recent shopping trip there, all the fresh produce seemed to be hermetically sealed: one barrel was full of pairs of zucchini trapped on small polystyrene trays bundled in plastic. Another featured pairs of apples similarly presented. Elsewhere, the store was selling over-sized boxes of organic tea bags - the tea bag was the same size, but it was encased in a large cellophane wrapper, then packed in a box that seemed to be 30% bigger than the standard size. Is that ok because the tea is organic? ...
Saving energy makes sense any time, but particularly now, given our short supplies of oil and the pollution and climate change we create when we burn any fossil fuel.
Still, you may be among the millions of people who have not yet incorporated energy conservation into your daily routine. Why not? The number one reason for most people is money - not necessarily real money, but definitely the perception that it will require a lot of money to put energy-saving strategies to work in your home.
I say "perception," because that's often what it is. Many consumers are under the generally false impression that adopting 'green' (i.e., energy efficient) technologies is beyond their financial reach. And especially during these economic hard times, even the suspicion that something will cost more is enough to deter its purchase.
That's why the concept of Green ROI - return on investment - is so important. Green ROI offers a way to calculate what the purchase of a green product is worth both in the short term and a longer way down the road. In other words, if you spend xx $$$ on a green product today, how long will it take you to realize a gain - in real dollars - and make the purchase worthwhile?
Well, consider a few of these Green ROI calculations, courtesy of GreenandSave.com, and based on a ten-year performance period: ...

Creativity is definitely a collaborative process. In this case, the idea was to have Jay DeMerit try to fit the names of all seven dwarfs into his recent interview with Temryss Lane (watch the interview HERE if you're not sure what I'm talking about), and the collaboration came between Jay and I after a sunny Whitecaps training session in Orlando last week. We had pitched the 1-on-1 interview to Vancouver's PR Director and I was following up with Jay to discuss the specifics and the timing of meeting him at the team hotel, and we both thought that adding some kind of gimmick to the proceedings would make things a bit more fun.
As the team captain and a veteran of the professional game, Jay has become more than accustomed to these standard sit-down interviews, so some variety here would be a good thing for all parties involved. My first thoughts were about the various goofy games the characters in "Super Troopers" played, primarily when the one guy (pretty sure it was Foster) had to fit "meow" multiple times into his interaction with a motorist (played quite ably by Jim Gaffigan), but there wasn't a real logical connection there. Being at Disney World, however, we quickly came up with the idea of the seven dwarfs, though I don't think either of us could name all of them off the top of our heads. Going through the ones we did know, we figured "Doc" and "Happy" were going to be pretty easy, then came up with possible uses for "Dopey" and "Grumpy" as well. The team left shortly thereafter, and the rest was going to be up to Jay.
Our next task (besides researching the whole list) was trying to keep the secret from Temryss, who was conducting the interview. I told her we were going to try doing something a little different, and for her to just to keep the interview going as she normally would, but it quickly became apparent what was going on when Jay lost it after dropping "Bashful" the first time (the first clip in the video). By the time the second clip happened, she was onto it, and when Jay threw "Grumpy" in there, she couldn't hold it together. As Temryss was wrapping up the interview, Jay had fit six of the seven in, and I was off camera pointing to the word "Sneezy" on a piece of paper. He thought quickly, and came up with the sneeze at the end, but hadn't really thought out what else to say to conclude, so that funny exchange (clip three in the video) resulted. All in all, it was a blast to collaborate with such a funny guy, and made for a great time throughout the entire production process. "Work" can indeed be fun.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Juan Agudelo returned to New York Red Bulls practice here on Friday, walking a little taller. Literally.
The 19-year-old striker scored the US Olympic team's opener in their 2-0 win over their Mexican counterparts in Texas on Wednesday – his first goal in a US shirt since his strike against Argentina nearly a year ago.
And Agudelo gives full credit to the bleached mop rising off the center of his scalp.
"It was just a play that we drew up the day before at practice, actually," he explained to MLSsoccer.com. "Just a near-post cross off a corner kick and I was able to get my head on it with the Mohawk."
If that 'hawk looks like an homage to a certain Wesley Snipes movie to you, you're not alone. Apparently Agudelo's 'do immediately reminded US Under-23 head coach Caleb Porter of the Stallone/Snipes sci-fi action classic Demolition Man.
And right there, folks, is where the generation gap between the 37-year-old coach and the teenage striker becomes apparent.
"Caleb told me about that – I didn't really know about Demolition Man," Agudelo admitted.
Fair enough. He wasn't even a year old when the movie came out in 1993.
"I searched on Google images and it was like I was staring at myself," he continued. "It wasn't what I was going for, but that's the way it worked out."
Maybe it's time to add "Simon Phoenix" and "Demolition Man" to Swagudelo's growing list of nicknames.
WATCH: Agudelo on his time with the US U-23s
De vuelta en Orlando, Fla. para el juego pretemporada entre FC Dallas y Toronto FC, me topé con Zarek Valentin, el defensa del Montreal Impact que nos compartió su alegría por la victoria que obtuvo con el equipo preolímpico de Estados Unidos sobre México en un crucial amistoso esta semana… pero ojo, se le está olvidando el español por estar aprendiendo francés.
I promise you this was not set up.
Whitecaps forward Eric Hassli spent today's post-practice media availability talking up his teammates as players but also citing new sense of camaraderie among the team as a reason for their impressive preseason form (they've been the best team here in Orlando, at least for my money). And then, as if on cue, this happened. It's like the soccer gods willed it to offer proof to the world that what Hassli spoke was the truth.
There's no doubt that the Whitecaps will fare better in 2012 than they did last year and that they now seem more like a team that 11 guys wearing the same colored shirt --that's the Impact's problem now. We'll just have to wait and see if their good times will roll all the way to MLS Cup.
Being a referee is not just a thankless job; sometimes it can be downright dangerous. One AR found out the hard way when he became collateral damage on this rough tackle.
My trip down to the Disney Pro Soccer Classic has been a trip of many firsts: my first time in Orlando, my first trip to Disney. Add my first NBA game to the list as I just spent an evening with the guys from Sporting KC basking in the vertically-gifted glow of Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard.
For the Sporting KC players, staff, ownership and family, it was a fun night away from the tedium of the practice field and the hotel. For me it was an opportunity to see a bit of live sport that wasn't soccer --a very rare treat-- and to catch up with a few players I hadn't seen in a while like CJ Sapong, Kei Kamara and Chance Myers. I also got to see Aurelien Collin rock a leather vest over a sleeveless shirt while wearing sneakers covered in metal spikes; who knew Mad Max had a French cousin who played centerback?
Teal Bunbury was also in the house, fresh off of the U.S. Olympic team's victory over Mexico last night in Dallas. Unfortunately for him rookie Dom Dwyer was also there to. Check out the clip above and you'll see what I mean.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Lionel Messi. Arjen Robben. Sebastian Velasquez?
Real Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman made that lofty comparison of the Colombian-born, South Carolina-raised rookie attacker who has been impressing in preseason camp.
It's that left-footed unpredictability that has Beckerman – and all of RSL – excited.
"He's got that lefty whatever it is," Beckerman said on Wednesday night. "I can't pinpoint it but Messi has it, Arjen Robben. These lefties. Fabián [Espíndola] has it. They're able to skin players."
Not bad company for a guy who played junior college ball. But then again, not even Messi or Robben scored 55 goals over 33 games, like Velasquez did at tiny Spartanburg Methodist College.
What do you think? Is Velasquez the real deal?
Not much to add to this one.
While most of us where tuned in to the USMNT's (surprise?) win over Italy at a bar, online or on our couches, the MLS players that are here in Orlando for the Disney Pro Soccer Challenge took in the game from their hotel rooms.
While the scene played out at team hotels all over town, Kevin Ellis and Dom Dwyer's room might have been the only one with an MLS camera in it. Check out their predictions and first-half thoughts in the clip above. You'll also find out why Kevin Ellis is, also surprisingly, pro-Italia.
Last night was my first matchnight of the preseason and it did not disappoint with both Toronto FC and FC Dallas coming out victorious over their non-MLS opponents at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. I took particular pleasure in two things: Ryan Johnson's tough-angle goal against BK Hacken and the sight of David Ferreira back on the pitch.
While the former was pure entertainment Ferriera's return was a reminder of what FC Dallas was missing in 2011 and a warning of what they'll have in 2012. Opposition beware.
Speaking of opposition, FC Dallas' opponents for the night were local USL side Orlando City, who featured a pair of soccer siblings: Dustin (brother of Dax) McCarty Maxwell (brother of Leonard) Griffin and John (brother of Wayne) Rooney. Last night the latter was living in the shadow of his older brother as a large man in a "Rooney" Manchester United jersey sat almost immediately behind his spot on the bench in the first row of the stands. No doubt John Rooney is a big boy and his own man but that type of thing must be maddening after a while.
Back in MLS land, I had the pleasure of witnessing the Houston Dynamo staff, who were in the press box for last night's matches, absolutely dominate a half-time session of trivia game Sporcle. Steve Ralston and Dominic Kinnear not only know their soccer but baseball as well. They also have an encyclopedic memory for 1990's alternative rock that any radio DJ would be jealous of but with one exception: they didn't know the name of Lit's big hit.
But you can't fault them for that because no one remembers what Lit's big hit was.

A scream for help. No doubt tough living in an oblamer suck up household.Hope she survives and can become the conservative she wants to be.
What a minute, why was a Drug Task Force searching the scene? DTF´s do not repond to OD calls, normally just 1 or 2 patrolmen and the EMT´s.
I am grateful that my family is not involved with drugs or the police. I hope she gets some help in jail. And I hope her dealer gets some jail time as well.
#2- Hey it´s Jon Bon Jovi´s daughter not some schmoe´s.
With a father like that, she didn´t stand a chance.
My son went there and came out a flaming liberal. Can´t believe it happened there....they are sooooo much better than the rest of the riff raff. Biggest mistake we ever made to send him there!!
too bad .....even bad things happen to those on the left......
I´m sorry some L-Dotters are being less than graceful about this sad incident. Sometimes, it doesn´t matter how hard a parent tries with their kids...the minute they get out the door, they have powerful influences working against them. We thought we did everything right with our daughter, but she still went sideways when she left for college. Thank God, she turned it around and is now married to a wonderful man and working hard to finish her degree. Don´t always jump to blame the parents.
#8 am not so sure there are a lot people blaming the parents... these people live in a bubble and believe trouble is someone else´s problem.....never their´s........if trouble does find them..it is always someone else´s fault or someone else caused it....
#8 ... Considering the "profession" of her father, I´m willing to bet the house she grew up in a drug-infested atmosphere.
Wow! She should not have eaten those brownies that someone put on her bed. From now on, she will have to be a lot more careful. They will tell the police to get out of there and go after some real criminals--after all, this is a private matter.
Honestly, sending your kid off to college is the worst thing you can do. All you get upon graduation is an indoctrinated liberal.
Can you get through college now on heroin and marijuana? Is it that easy?
How long before we are reading about the escapades of the Obama girls.Sex, drugs, anad rock and roll on the way.
Jon Don Corleone can go to New Jersey, for all I care.
I hope that the OD was painful enough and that the legal troubles are bad enough that she turns her life around and goes on to lead a happy, healthy, productive life.

Llandovery townsfolk bleat about Royal jokers!
6:10am Wednesday 26th September 2012 in News
A STORM has erupted in Llandovery over cut-outs depicting the Royal Family as a flock of sheep.
Some shops are displaying the cutouts of sheep - with faces of the Royals stuck on - to advertise Llandovery's Sheep Festival this weekend.
But former Llandovery town clerk Terry Leyman said some people felt it was in "baaaa-d taste" and revealed he had raised the matter with Trading Standards and Dyfed-Powys Police.
"I'm speaking up on behalf of residents," he said. "Everyone I've spoken to think the fact the Royal Family are being portrayed as a flock of sheep is absolutely disgusting."
But newsagent Martin Davies said his customers regarded the cut-outs as an amusing way to advertise an important event in the town.
"I don't think it's treasonable," he joked.

Can Apple start making their product in the U.S. again? The answer is YES.
Last fall, we pondered whether Apple could start building iPads and iPhones in the U.S. Our conclusion was: YES, Apple could indeed start assembling products in the U.S.
Some key points:
1. Labor costs are not the key factor. As Michele Nash-Hoff (President of ElectroFab) and Curtis Ellis (of the American Jobs Alliance) have explained, labor is a small part (probably less than 10 percent) of Apple's cost of manufacturing, far less than capital equipment and components. With wages rising in China and U.S. manufacturing workers actually being far more productive, the labor cost differential become very small.
2. Apple is the rare product that competes on quality, not price. While it may or may not cost more in total to assemble iPads in the U.S., Apple is not competing against dozens of similar products. And so, retail price is not the key criteria because consumers are already buying iPads due to their unique quality and attributes, not "low sticker price."
3. Thanks to high productivity and top quality, U.S. manufacturing offers its own cost-savings and benefits. U.S. manufacturers are recognized as being the most productive, efficient, and safe in the world. A state-of-the-art U.S. manufacturing facility would offer its own cost savings by virtue of its incredibly productive and streamlined assembly processes.
Okay, so why are we analyzing the Apple production process today? Because Apple CEO Tim Cook was quoted this week at an All Things Digital Conference as saying he'd like to see his company make more components, and possibly assemble them, in the U.S.
Specifically, Cook said:
"There are things that can be done in the U.S., not just for the U.S. market but that can be exported for the world...On the assembly piece, could that be done in the U.S.? I hope so, again, one day."
There are stumbling blocks to a possible reshoring of Apple products, though. Andrew Nusca at Between the Lines says that American companies can always "go overseas for greater flexibility, lower price and sheer speed." He also cites the potential shortage of skilled high-tech workers in the U.S. who can tackle the logistical and competitive needs of such competitive, state-of-the-art production.
But these are battles worth fighting. For starters, a high-tech facility COULD produce in the manner required by Apple for rapid market response. And as for worker skills needed in such a high-tech industry, the Alliance for American Maufacturing (AAM) has repeatedly urged that the U.S. needs to prioritize such training in order to compete successfully in the 21st Century.
All of this is a battle worth fighting, and a very necessary one if the U.S. is to maintain a solid middle class economy. Apple can do it, and so can the U.S. The question is who will take the big step first?

Wilson, Ethel Davis
Wilson, Ethel Davis 1890–
A Canadian novelist, Wilson centers her novels in British Columbia. She uses a shifting point of view to examine the "equations of love" between people, particularly those of the working class. She also examines the role of memory as it plays upon the tension between changing time and static space.
Helen W. Sonthoff
The distinctive element in Ethel Wilson's fiction is its tone. It seems as if the centre of each book were not a main character, or a theme, or a plot, but an attitude toward the life of the tale. The subject matter with which Ethel Wilson deals varies considerably in event, character, setting. So does the form. But the tone, though not the same in each work, has certain recognizable characteristics.
It is, for one thing, quiet. It is persistently undramatic, allowing no sustained plot interest, no profound involvement with any character. Moments of wonder or sharp delight are followed by ordinary distractions; moments of concern or intense sympathy are commented on with wry humour. The tone is often funny, urbane, curious, inclusive. And what it primarily does is to render any subject matter in such a way that the reader's journey through it is very like his journey through any natural landscape, any ordinary day of his living. Meaning, in these novels as in living, comes upon him and fades. He encounters these characters as he might people in his own life, watching their surface, their manner and acts, knowing them, drifting away, doubting, hearing again, sometimes losing sight of them entirely. Should he for a moment lose himself in a scene or a gesture or mood, he will be brought back to his role as observer; he will have restored to him a perspective that persuades him to regard this fiction with a kind of equanimity.

W. H. New
[The Innocent Traveller] explores innocence, independence, and order, and in presenting the character of Topaz it interprets both twentieth-century life and the necessary relationship that must exist between people in any society whose stability is, like this one, precariously founded in time.
Mrs. Wilson has in various places and in various ways been likened to Willa Cather, Jane Austen, Proust, Defoe, Blake, Butler, Trollope, and Bennett: an awesome group…. Mrs. Wilson's success in creating live people leads to one of the comparisons; her concern with time, her social consciousness, her irony, and her control of words lead to others. But the observation of likenesses only serves to clarify the nature of individual parts of a novel, and all those listed here exist in The Innocent Traveller not separately, like borrowings, but unified into a work of art. (pp. 22-3)
Hetty Dorval, the first of Ethel Wilson's works, studies the nebulous influence which the experienced title character has on a young girl. It is not just an opposition between youth and age, or between innocence and sophistication. What it explores, with reference to the whole question of morality and amorality, is the extent to which Hetty, though using the worlds through which she moves, can be an individual by exempting herself from ordinarily accepted codes of behaviour. The two novellas which make up The Equations of Love...

C. M. McLAY
Ethel Wilson's short story "Mrs. Golightly and the First Convention" concerns a theme popular in these days of women's liberation, the initiation of an ordinary housewife with three children into her society, her movement, within certain defined limits, from innocence to experience, and her achievement of an individual identity. Mrs. Golightly's aim, expressed at a moment of recognition when it seems unattainable, is to be "a woman of the world."… The deliberate simplicity of the theme, the concentration of wish, recognition, and fulfilment within one or two days, the play of contrast and repetition and the surface naivety of the style all contribute to the total effect of a tale which, however slight it may at first appear, has a definite and continuing appeal and makes a serious statement about life.
The essential simplicity of theme and style conceals the sly sophistication of Mrs. Wilson's approach.
In those days when a man said rather importantly, I am going to a convention, someone was quite liable to ask What is a Convention? Everyone seemed to think that they must be quite a good thing, which of course they are….
The tone of the "historical note" and the choice of language in phrases such as "a very good thing" satirize both our desire for information and the vague flatness of our everyday diction. Moreover Mrs. Wilson cleverly turns the argument on us...

P. M. Hinchcliffe
There is nothing provincial about Ethel Wilson's writing. Her novels and stories display a sensibility that is sophisticated and urbane. They are patently the work of an artist who has no patience with any kind of cultural or moral narrowness. Even if her characters are not always aware of their place in a larger world, Mrs. Wilson herself is, and she makes sure that her readers are aware of it too. But she has always been a determinedly regional writer…. A few of her stories are set outside British Columbia, but her home ground is Vancouver and the river valleys and mountain lakes that make up what dwellers on the British Columbia coast call "the Interior", and which they regard as their hinterland. Her novels and stories are filled with loving descriptions of Vancouver's streets and mountains and with favourite scenes from the Interior, like the marriage of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers and the flight of migrating geese, repeated again and again.
These scenes never take over the stories in which they appear because Ethel Wilson's centre of interest is not topography. It is the moral and effective lives of her characters, most of them women, who are all solitary persons to some degree, and who never merge with or are overcome by the landscapes in which they are placed….
Just as her stories are set in the enclosed spatial region of British Columbia but with a constant awareness of the rest of the world outside...

Extra Votes for Parents?
"If [governments] are not ready to stand up proudly and give voice to the rights of children, then they should put into place reforms that magnify the voices that already exist. The most important would be reforming an electoral system that disenfranchises all those younger than 18 by allowing their parents to cast additional votes for each of their children. Maybe only then when they have to actually look their electorate in the eyes will there be sufficient resolve to make child rights the priority that a commitment [the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child] made 20 years ago stated it should be."
- Miles Corak, former research coordinator and lead researcher of the 2005 UNICEF Report Child Poverty in Rich Countries, writing in yesterday's Toronto Star
Positive Body Image
The curriculum – which was developed by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (EFTO) – recently won the Canadian Medical Association's Award for Excellence in Health Promotion. It consists of a video, curriculum materials designed for each grade level, and a brochure for parents.
According to the EFTO, parents play a key role in determining how children feel about their bodies and in promoting healthy body image in general. Parents can remind kids that genetics have a lot to do with a person's weight, size, and body type; reinforce the idea that all bodies are acceptable; challenge put-downs related to physical appearance and be a positive role model with regard to body image; encourage kids to tune into their own internal hunger and fullness cues; promote exercise and healthy eating as ways to nurture your body; and celebrate the uniqueness of all people.

Just got back from a 3 night stay here and would stay at Linne Hostel again no problems. Had a twin room with a TV. It was basic but clean. The kitchen was clean and was really useful as we made our own lunches to take out to save money. There is a supermarket just round the corner for this.... More

Quality Price Value I love this product and use it for almost every look. My only problem is that I can't sharpen the pencil. I have a large pencil sharpener, but this is too big. Any idea's or suggestions let me know... otherwise great product.

Thank you, thank you!
I rarely indulge in indecorous displays of emotion, but I'm feeling unusually warm and full of fuzzy feelings. Might be all the wine I consumed last weekend and the sticky toffee pudding I've been tucking away since Monday afternoon… And so:
Many, many thanks to the Sacasa-Castillo family for hosting Thanksgiving this year!
The house was bursting at the seams with siblings, cousins, friends, a soon-to-be family member (welcome, Daniel!), and a troop of children—all small, but mighty enough to strike fear in the hearts of even the most stalwart of enemy ranks.
Eager volunteer cooks and dishwashers neatly arranged themselves in the kitchen and I must congratulate everyone—myself most especially—for not breaking down, stomping off, or spewing out briny language. In the span of a few hours we tackled a Bruce-sized bird that definitely needed a bigger boat, mashed potatoes, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, fried shallots, (twice, as I burned the first batch), gravy, apple galette, chocolate cake, and a stack of plates at least six feet tall.
Gold stars especially to the mini-chefs Alexandra Sofía, Mariana Lucía, Carolina Cecilia, and Leonte Andrés who really put their nimble little fingers to use in the making of desserts for dinner…doughnut muffins for breakfast…and popsicles in case you had any room left.
Oh, and Emmita, who just sat around and allowed her roly-poly self to be pinched and squeezed all weekend.

are you sure that # is right for the irfb4115?; I remember bob say it is lower then the fdp2532 mosfet;
also; I've noticed the quality of the 4115 is MUCH better (identicall to the qualify of the irfb4110) then the fdp2532 mosfet;
as per fechters post
IRFB4115, apparently the next up from the 4110.
150v, 104A, 9.3mOhm and comes in a TO-220AB package that fits most controllers.
maybe the resistance is much higher once they are very hot?
steveo wrote:Are you excited?
I am ...
i just got word .. that i will have 200v capasitors installed from factory .... fingers crossed!!!
The power supply portion of the controller will be able to be operated from 86v - 200v ... ..
the resistors on the unit would need to disipate 11watts

AcuRite® 20'' Galileo Glass Thermometer
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
- Thick, sturdy mouth-blown glass construction
- Colorful, liquid-filled bulbs descend and ascend with temperature changes
- Liquid magnifies temperature readings
- Degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius
- Measures temperatures from 60º F to 96º F; 16º C to 36º C
- One-year limited warranty
- 20.4"H x 1.5"D with 3" base
Galileo Galilei, the pioneer of modern astronomy and physics, (1564-1642), discovered that liquids change density as the temperature increases or decreases. Based on this principle, the colored glass spheres inside the Galileo Glass Thermometer have been precisely weighted so that they respond to temperature changes. When the temperature rises, the liquid inside the Galileo indoor Thermometer becomes less dense and the colored spheres floating inside will sink towards the bottom. When the temperature of the room cools, the process is reversed and the spheres will rise from the bottom. One-year limited warranty. It's more than accurate, it's AcuRite.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2
Rated 5 out of 5 by CBJEEP Great Thermometer
I bought two of these, the 20 inch one and the 13 inch one. I have always wanted one. I put the big on in my house and gave the smaller one to my girlfriend thinking she could put it up out of the reach of her cat. It is a very nice looking thermometer. Stands out in the room. It also works great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy777 One of my best purchases!
My Galileo Thermometer is a beautiful addition to my home decor as well as being functional, and quite accurate I might add. Thanks!

Link Checking Thread - Google Backward Link Posts
Posted 03 February 2005 - 10:57 AM
The blog is fairly new, about 3 weeks old. I had submitted it to a few blog-related directories, which are the links that I find in G when searching on "family webwatch". I was excited yet surprised to see those links show up so soon, but confused with the link: results.
Posted 11 February 2005 - 11:46 PM
I have read through most of the posts on this topic however, I have not found any that explain wether a link is more viewable to google as a web design by http://link or web design by (link). Does it matter?
Posted 12 February 2005 - 12:19 AM
Google views all links.
What they show has nothing to do with what they view as noted in this thread:
Posted 12 February 2005 - 09:18 AM
Posted 27 February 2005 - 09:13 AM
Please for leniency, I'm new and I don't know all rules etc.
Sorry if some subject which I open was in past.
I have trouble which google indexing. On search.msn.com I have about 65 external links but according google link tool I haven't any link. Why? Google visit my page regulary for 1 year...
If you would like to show it:
my page: www.polpott.com
main keyword : polish pottery
Thank you so much
I wainting for you response
Posted 27 February 2005 - 09:24 AM
As we've been saying here for some time, you can pretty much disregard what the Google link: command shows. Even they admit that it will only show a selection of links pointing at your site, though nobody knows quite what criteria they use in determining what to show you and what doesn't get shown.
The bottom line is that they know about far more links to your site than they will tell you about. I use Yahoo! to check my backlinks because it seems to be the most reliable at the moment.
You can be pretty sure that any links Yahoo knows about, Google also knows about. Even if they won't tell you that they do with their link: command. If you want to be 100% sure pull up those pages linking to you in Google's cache. As long as the page, and the link pointing to your site, appears in Google's cache you can rest assured that they know about it.
Posted 27 February 2005 - 09:29 AM
There are other ways to find out which links Google is aware of. For example: polpott.com -site:www.polpott.com shows pages containing your domain name (most of which are probably links) outside of your domain itself.
Posted 14 March 2005 - 02:35 PM
I am also new here and although I have read the newbie section I don't know all of the protocols here. If I do something wrong please let me know so I can correct it.
It appears that Google is not including links in their "backward links" from websites that they include in their database. For example, when I do a search on Google for tmi salt pure (my new client's site, so SEO's please don't contact them or send them solicitation emails) it shows results including sites that have links to my clients site including:
<edited links - not needed>
However, when I check for links to my clients site on Google link:http://www.domain.com it shows six links but does not include any of the sites that have links that showed up when I did a search for tsi salt pure.
My concern is there are great links to my clients site (that have been there for years) that are not being counted by Google which lowers the pagerank, which lowers my clients ranking. I dont believe that pagerank is the be all and end all but it does influence rankings.
My question is, what can I do to get these valuable links included in my Google link list. In addition, I have been snubbed by website owners who say that there are not enough links to my clients site for them to add a link from their site.
Edited by Scottie, 14 March 2005 - 02:53 PM.
Posted 14 March 2005 - 02:47 PM
Just because a link doesn't show in Google, that doesn't mean it "isn't counted".
Webmasters who refuse to link to your site simply on the basis of it not having enough inbound links according to Google's link: command are -- shall we say? -- "shortsighted" and not very aware. I lump them in the same group who won't link to a site that shows a PR of less than 4.
Posted 01 April 2005 - 07:53 AM
I have 36 bonafide backlinks most with a PR of 4 or better. My PR is 0/10. I am a brand new site probably in the sandbox.
Is this all normal?
Posted 01 April 2005 - 08:02 AM
Although, if you want to check your backlinks, best use msn link:domain.com or yahoo linkdomain:domain.com , as they will show you more data.
Posted 01 April 2005 - 08:41 AM
Posted 21 April 2005 - 10:11 AM
link:t-shirtsusa.com/ I get no results
If I search for the phrase "t-shirtsUSA.com" I get 27 pages with the phrase that link to my site.
One of those pages is my own site and contains the phrase
"Deep discounted T-shirt screen printing"
If I search for that phrase on google it returns no results.
It seems to be that although google has indexed the pages it is not returning correct results.
Does someone have an explanation
Posted 21 April 2005 - 10:21 AM
The link: command at Google has been broken for a long time now, as you'll discover when you read through some of the older posts on the forums. They show random backlinks with no rhyme or reason.
I use Yahoo! instead for that. (ie linkdomain:yoursite.com to get all links pointing to your site.)
Posted 21 April 2005 - 10:58 AM
A simple question, hopefully with a simple answer.
I have many links to my site but Google does not register these links at all - Why is this and is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks very much.

The tube portion goes through a concrete upright post and the main support (horizontal) cable is fed through and hooked on to the drum. With the other end of the wire or cable anchored it could be tensioned using a wrench (spanner).
