At first glance, Only God Forgives, director Nicolas Winding Refn's follow-up to his highly acclaimed 2011 crime drama Drive, appears to be more of the same: Ryan Gosling once again stars as a man of few words who gets dragged into the criminal underworld, with Bangkok replacing Los Angeles this time.
Ten minutes in, though, you realize that the new movie is an entirely different beast — a more primal, brutal, near-plotless experience.
"There's a record I really love called Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed," Refn says. "It's an album he made after Transformer, which was a wonderful, lyrical record. But with Metal Machine Music, what you hear is what you get — just guitar feedback mixed at different speeds. I thought it would be interesting to make a film that worked in a similar way, a movie almost designed like a pin-up magazine that was purely about what arouses me and what frightens me."
Like Reed's record, the result is much less accessible than Refn's previous films. Only God Forgives, which opens Friday, co-stars Kristin Scott Thomas as Gosling's monstrous mother and Vithaya Pansringarm as a cop who metes out justice like an avenging angel. The movie was booed by some critics when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the same place where Refn won the Best Director prize for Drive two years earlier. Among the most common complaints was the film was laughably pretentious, hollow and needlessly violent.
"A lot of people have seen the film and immediately dismissed it," says Thomas, whose flamboyantly evil character was designed as a cross between Lady Macbeth and Donatella Versace. "But then they wake up the next morning, and the movie is still in their heads. People watch movies on different levels, but the surface level of this one is not the most interesting. It's a film that needs a great deal of personal interpretation. It has this way of getting into your head, because it's so beautiful but also so frightening. If you can give into it and stop worrying about plot and stuff like that, you will have an amazing experience."
Thomas, who is usually cast in tony, upscale dramas ( The English Patient, Gosford Park), admits she initially thought her agent had made a mistake when he sent her the script and she read it. But she took the role after watching some of Refn's previous films, including Bronson and Valhalla Rising. Her volcanic performance as a manipulative, demanding shrew with a voracious sense of entitlement and no redeeming qualities is unlike any she's given before.
"It was hard to play, because she is so outrageous and unpleasant and horrible," Thomas says of her character. "There is a scene in which Ryan meets me at a restaurant for dinner and brings a prostitute as his date. Nicolas said we needed something really horrible for me to say to her. He asked us 'What's the worst thing you've ever heard someone say to describe a woman?' Ryan suggested that word [a profane sexual slur]. But I couldn't say it. I just couldn't. I kept flubbing the line, and we had to do multiple takes. You start feeling down when you have to be mean to people all the time. I wanted to have something nice to say!"
Unlike Thomas, Gosling didn't have much dialogue to wrangle: His character in Only God Forgives speaks even less than his taciturn driver in Drive.
"Silent acting is the oldest form of acting in the world," Refn says. "But it's also the hardest to play, because we're used to using words to make the audience understand what's happening. Silence makes it much more about interpretation. Because there was so much attention paid to Gosling's stillness in Drive, there's this perception that his performance in this movie is just the same thing.
"But Drive was designed entirely around that character's silence. This one is very different. Ryan and I talked about the idea of a man who is chained to his mother and controlled by her. It's almost as if she's put a spell on him and has taken away his willpower. He's like the sleepwalker in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It's an extreme and heightened reality.
"People tend to forget that Hamlet is a man who has no will of his own. He's constantly pushed around by other people who are taking advantage of him. But audiences are used to seeing male protagonists in movies be all about action and decisiveness. That's what defines the gender. Just because you reverse that doesn't mean you remove the urgency of the story. It just becomes quiet. Filmmaking has become so traditional and conventional. This movie requires you to engage with it in a different way than most other movies and interpret things for yourself. That's when art becomes interesting."
Although there isn't anything quite as graphic as the elevator scene in Drive, Only God Forgives has moments of hair-raising violence, although a lot of the brutality happens outside the frame this time, making you think you've seen more than you did.
Still, there are sequences in which the camera doesn't look away, including a surreal torture scene inside an elegant karaoke bar that is as hard to watch as the ear slicing in Reservoir Dogs.
"There's a great satisfaction in watching cinematic violence," Refn says. "It's designed in a way that feels like this great release. It arouses us. We fear it, but we also accept it as a savior. It can be very pleasurable or very horrifying. The violence in this film has a sexual aesthetic to it. The character of the policeman is like God walking the Earth, the Old Testament version of God. Even though we're taught not to enjoy the oldest form of justice, which is an eye for an eye, we're still rooted in it and take pleasure from it."

When do your baby's first teeth appear and how can you help ease your child's pain.
Although the arrival of two tiny white dots on the bottom row of your baby's gums often seems like an exciting milestone on your child's way to walking, talking, graduating from college, becoming a high court judge and so on, the experience of teething is often no fun for either parent or child.
However, whilst it's easy to imagine why a baby cries in agony as these little molars and incisors begin to push their way through, don't think it's going to be non-stop pain from the first moment until the last. Whilst many people claim the bigger teeth hurt more, often, by the time your toddler's mouth is sprouting these larger teeth, he or she will be able to cope with the pain in different ways and be more easily comforted.
What happens when?
What are the signs of teething?
Some babies will just be a little irritable, but usually there will be days when the teething gets to your child more than others.
Red cheeks, dribbling (and therefore sometimes coughing when they are on their backs and dribbling), chewing on anything they can find including their hands, ear pulling, being generally out of sorts, runny nappies and sometimes a rash on their bottom, being off their food, and sore-looking gums are the main common signs for teething.
Some babies get symptoms rather like a cold and might even have a runny nose. They may be prone to small colds between six and 12 months anyway, and this coincides with the time they will suffer from their first bouts of teething.
Some babies may also have a raised temperature, although there is some disagreement among heath professionals as to whether this is a cause of teething or, again, of minor colds which can also afflict growing babies.
What can you do to ease your baby's suffering?
Each baby is different and it's worth bearing in mind all kinds of remedies to ease your baby when he or she is teething as what works for one baby might not for another, or might work when your baby is teething with less or more need for pain relief. DON'T give your baby sugary biscuits to chew on as, even before the teeth come up, it is possible to create bad habits for sweet tastes and to begin the process of tooth decay.
Most babies will encounter some bad teething bouts, but there will be days when it's only from changing a nappy or seeing very rosy cheeks, that you notice your baby has some teeth coming through.
Teething can bring them down or disrupt sleeping habits, but if your baby is generally unwell for a longer period of time (more than a few days) then check in with your GP or health visitor.

Breaking in…againPosted by Rusty Banks in Uncategorized
Oh, that's close to Philly, right?
In Nebraska, if you pick the right direction, you can drive for hours and still be in the same place. It's opener there, in the wide open air. So when my wife scored a sweet gig at Millersville University in Millersville, PA, I was very excited to be a mere hour or two out of Philadelphia, and hour of so from Baltimore, and three hours from New York or D.C. That's not to mention having a bit more financial freedom to pursue the composition side of my career more than the teaching side.
So when does a perception become a real thing?
When we first got here, I quickly noticed how people in the Lancaster area didn't really perceive Philly as all that close. I chuckled to myself. "Imagine what they'd think of the Midwest," I mused to myself. After getting settled in a bit, I went to a Network for New Music concert in West Philadelphia. It was an amazingly well-performed concert that I thoroughly enjoyed. One thing I found odd, however, was how "outreachy" it was. One performer actually took time to explain what an English horn was. Now, this isn't even west of Philadelphia, it is in the western part of Philadelphia. Whoa. Not a small world at all, it seems. A week later, I found out I'm not even in the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Composers Forum. I'm actually in the same jurisdiction as I was in Nebraska– at large. (To be fair, I should point out that I was assured any project that would take place in the jurisdiction, across my county line, would be eligible for affiliate programs). Turns out I'm not a Philadelphia area composer after all. So I decided to find a bit of work in Philadelphia, to connect me to some people, and help pay for some of the networking I would be doing there. I enjoy teaching guitar, so I sent letters and resumes to a few places. One place wrote back saying I should reapply if I ever move close enough. Whoa.
Anything but local: A road warrior is born.
A nice thing about moving away from some place is that people want you to come back. Since moving to Pennsylvania, I've gotten to do several cool things in Nebraska. Also, being from Alabama, I'll be returning there quite a bit. I like to joke that if I could move six or seven more times, I could tour most of the year. It doesn't seem like so much of a joke now. And really, what does one need to do a concert in an area? I say about 25 friends, who will each bring one of their friends to your concert. Guess I better get out to Philly and make myself 25 friends"¦

Most days, only a few women joined Betsy Cunningham's "Women in Black" anti-war protests. Sometimes she was all alone.
Through heat, rain and snow, she and her black-clad companions stood silently on the corner of Pratt and Light streets near Baltimore's Inner Harbor every Friday for more than a decade, objecting to war. They have been yelled at, spit on and threatened with arrest.
But after 12 years of persistence, Cunningham and the group of self-described "little old ladies" have done something rather large: They have expanded free-speech rights for all Baltimoreans.
"People sometimes yell at us, 'Get a job!'" Cunningham, a lawyer who lives in Charles Village, said before a demonstration Friday afternoon. "I have a job. My job is for peace."
This week, Baltimore officials approved a payment of $98,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union to settle a long-standing federal lawsuit over protesters' rights in Baltimore. In settling the suit — in which Cunningham was the lead plaintiff — city officials agreed to loosen restrictions on when and where demonstrations can take place.
The new rules allow groups of up to 30 people to protest or pass out fliers without obtaining a permit at all city parks and 10 designated locations, including the downtown McKeldin Square.
The new locations — previously off-limits to protesters without a permit — include Rash Field, Kaufman Pavilion, the area west of the Baltimore Visitor Center on the Inner Harbor, and the grass field between the World Trade Center and the National Aquarium. The rules also provide for "instant permits" to be issued by police when larger-than-expected crowds attend a protest.
"It's very satisfying," said Ellen Robbins, 68, of Oakenshawe, a longtime member of the Women in Black. "It was surprising because everything in the world has been going the wrong way. To have something go the right way is quite encouraging."
Their demonstration this week was larger than normal: About 15 women gathered at McKeldin Square on Friday. But unlike previous Fridays, this event was hardly silent.
The women shared a celebratory cake and stories of their years together: How they got started after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when many of them felt the world had become so crazy and dangerous that they had no other choice but to pick a corner and advocate for peace. How they frequently braved rainstorms. How passing motorists sometimes honked in support and sometimes gave them the finger. How it was always the veterans who appreciated them the most.
"One veteran, he crossed the street and kissed all our hands," said Katharine LeVeque, 81, a retired social worker. "They know what war is about."
They recalled that day in 2003 after the start of the Iraq War when Baltimore police officers approached them and told them to move along. It was then that they decided to sue.
"It was a very frustrating day," said LeVeque, of Charles Village. "We decided we needed to do something about it. They thought they could tell us what to do. We didn't think they could. We figured they would look silly if they arrested five little old ladies."
About 10 of the women were told to move that day, and five agreed to sign on to the federal lawsuit, which the ACLU filed on their behalf. Cunningham says her name got top billing because "the letter C happened to be at the top of the list."
City officials immediately implemented interim rules — allowing up to 25 people to demonstrate without a permit in McKeldin Square — but those rules were never made official and enforced only sporadically, according to the ACLU.
As the federal lawsuit wended its way through the court system, the women continued their silent protests. In 2009, they were forced to move again, when Baltimore police officers threatened to arrest them.
"He really did threaten to take us to jail," LeVeque said of one of the officers. "I thought, 'You are going to look really dumb.'"
Police brass ordered retraining on the interim rules for those officers at the time, and City Solicitor George Nilson said this week that police will be trained "aggressively" in the coming weeks on the new rules. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake endorsed the new rules as striking the proper balance between free speech and the need to maintain crowd control.
David Rocah, an attorney at the ACLU of Maryland, said the settlement should serve as notice to Maryland's other jurisdictions that have outdated and unconstitutional restrictions on free speech.
"The rules that are in place now can serve as a model for other jurisdictions around the state," he said, adding that settlement "should serve as a cautionary tale to other jurisdictions lest they be next in line."

UNDATED, WI (WTAQ) - More than half of Wisconsinites who plan to vote in November believe that the Green Bay Packers will make it to the next Super Bowl – and over a quarter think the Pack will win it.
That's according to poll results released this afternoon by the firm of Public Policy Polling.
It surveyed 842 likely voters in the Badger State on Tuesday and Wednesday.
81% said the Packers would at least make the playoffs in January. 87% gave quarterback Aaron Rodgers a favorable rating.
Packers' coach Mike McCarthy got a positive approval rating of 76%.
Also, Wisconsin voters may not be ready to welcome Brett Favre back into the Packer family. 40% of those surveyed rated the retired three-time MVP quarterback favorably and another 40% gave Favre an unfavorable rating.

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Find Your Happiness
101 Inspirational Stories about Finding Your Purpose, Passion, and Joy
Jack Canfield
Mark Victor Hansen
Amy Newmark
Foreword by Deborah Norville
Some people pursue happiness, others create it.
~Margaret Bowen
We're all familiar with our constitutional right to pursue happiness. As a child, I recall more than once telling my not-at-all-amused mother that I was "pursuing my right to happiness" when I made a particularly large mess. She very cleverly informed me that if I wanted to enjoy life or liberty, I would clean it right up too! Who doesn't want to be happy? Not only does being happy beat the alternative, happiness has some pretty attractive benefits. Research has found being happy adds about nine years to your life!
Chances are you picked up this book in hopes of reading some stories that can help brighten your own day or put you on a new path that's got a bit more joy or a little more laughter than the road you currently travel. Inside this book are 101 stories specifically chosen to show you there are many roads to happiness. After you read these stories, you'll be much better equipped to find the path -- and the destination -- that's right for you.
Some people pursue happiness, others create it. Take a look at Margaret Bowen's quote and ask yourself, "Who's more likely to be happy? The person chasing, or the one creating?" If you need a hint, you may find a clue in these words by Henry David Thoreau that I had on a poster on my wall during high school and college:

Reid among 7 NFL coaches sacked in firing frenzyThe Associated Press | January 01,2013Quite a day for NFL sacks.
Seven coaches and five general managers were fired Monday in a flurry of pink slips that were delivered the day after the regular-season ended.
There could be more, but so far the sent-packing scorecard looks like this:
Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Lovie Smith in Chicago, and Ken Whisenhunt in Arizona, all coaches who took teams to the Super Bowl, Norv Turner in San Diego, Pat Shurmur in Cleveland, Romeo Crennel in Kansas City and Chan Gailey in Buffalo.
Three teams made it a clean sweep, saying goodbye to the GM along with the coach San Diego, Cleveland, Arizona. General managers also were fired in Jacksonville and in New York, where Rex Ryan held onto his coaching job with the Jets despite a losing record.
Reid was the longest tenured of the coaches, removed after 14 seasons and a Super Bowl appearance in 2005 a loss to New England.
Smith spent nine seasons with the Bears, leading them to the 2007 Super Bowl a loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Turner has now been fired as head coach by three teams. San Diego won the AFC West from 2006-09, but didnt make the postseason the last three years.
Both Norv and A.J. are consummate NFL professionals, and they understand that in this league, the bottom-line is winning, Chargers President Dean Spanos said in a statement.
Whisenhunt was fired after six seasons, including taking the Cardinals to a Super Bowl loss to Pittsburgh after the 2008 season. He had more wins than any other coach in Cardinals history, going 45-51, and has one year worth about $5.5 million left on his contract. GM Rod Graves had been with Arizona for 16 years, nine in his current position. A 5-11 record after a 4-0 start cost him and Whisenhunt their jobs.
Gailey was dumped after three seasons with the Bills; Shurmur after two; and Crennel had one full season with the Chiefs.
Reid took over a 3-13 Eagles team in 1999, drafted Donovan McNabb with the No. 2 overall pick and quickly turned the franchise into a title contender.
He led them to a run of four straight NFC championship games, a streak that ended with a trip to the NFL title game. But the team hasnt won a playoff game since 2008 and after last seasons 8-8 finish, owner Jeffrey Lurie said he was looking for improvement this year. Instead, it was even worse. The Eagles finished 4-12.
When you have a season like that, its embarrassing. Its personally crushing to me and its terrible, Lurie said at a news conference. He said he respects Reid and plans to stay friends with him, but, it is time for the Eagles to move in a new direction.
Shurmur went 9-23 in his two seasons with the Browns, who will embark on yet another offseason of change the only constant in more than a decade of futility. Cleveland has lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons and made the playoffs just once since returning to the NFL as an expansion team in 1999.
Ultimately our objective is to put together an organization that will be the best at everything we do, Browns CEO Joe Banner said. On the field, our only goal is trying to win championships.
Crennel took over with three games left in the 2011 season after GM Scott Pioli fired Todd Haley. Kansas City will have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft as a result of having one of the worst seasons in its 53-year history. The only other time the Chiefs finished 2-14 was 2008, the year before Pioli was hired.
I am embarrassed by the poor product we gave our fans this season, and I believe we have no choice but to move the franchise in a different direction, Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement.
Gailey, the former Dallas Cowboys coach, compiled a 16-32 record in his three seasons in Buffalo, never doing better than 6-10.
This will probably be, and I say probably, but I think it will be the first place thats ever fired me that Ill pull for, Gailey said.
Smith and the Bears went 10-6 this season and just missed a playoff spot. But Chicago started 7-1 and has struggled to put together a productive offense throughout Smiths tenure. His record was 81-63 with the Bears, and he took them to one Super Bowl loss and to one NFC championship game defeat.
Receiver and kick return standout Devin Hester was bitter about Smiths firing.
The media, the false fans, you all got what you all wanted, Hester said as he cleared out his locker. The majority of you all wanted him out. As players we wanted him in. I guess the fans the false fans outruled us. I thought he was a great coach, probably one of the best coaches Ive ever been around.
The fired GMs included Mike Tannenbaum of the Jets; Gene Smith of the Jaguars; A.J. Smith of the Chargers and Tom Heckert of the Browns and Graves of Arizona.
You hope that those guys that obviously were victims of black Monday land on their feet, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. Youve got guys that have been to Super Bowls and won championship games and all of a sudden theyve forgot how to coach, I guess.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This fruit forward Cabernet Sauvignon shows off Long Meadow Ranch's terroir. The nose offers concentrated dark red fruits, black tea smokiness, sweet cedar bark, and black pepper. The full, pleasing entry introduces plush, soft tannins that persist to the finish. Seamless and sweetly extracted, this wine reveals layers of flavors in the
progression on the palate. Its youthful style allows it to open beautifully, whether in your glass or over time in your cellar.
"An extraordinary Cabernet that stands out even in this great vintage, and among its Rutherford peers. Quite dry and tannic in youth, it shows an astringency that strongly suggests the cellar. Underneath are powerhouse flavors of blackberries, black and red cherries, spices, tea and cedar. Really defines balance and elegance in a Napa Cabernet. Decant if you drink it now, but it should develop for years to come."

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

Italy removes Stagno di Cagliari from the Montreux Record
Progress at the last of Italy's Montreux Record sites
The Secretariat is pleased to announce that Italy has completed the formalities for the removal of its last Ramsar site that has been on the Montreux Record of sites "where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring or are likely to occur" for quite a few years. According to documentation provided by the Administrative Authority in the Ministry of the Environment and Territory and the Sea, managers at "Stagno di Cagliari" on the island of Sardinia have made substantial progress in resolving the problems for which the site was added to the Record in 1990, and after consultations with the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) it has been removed from the Record as of 25 November 2008.
"Stagno di Cagliari" (Ramsar site no. 134, designated 14/12/1976) represents a typical humid environment of the Mediterranean biogeographical region characterized by the presence of brackish, salt and freshwater. The site comprises a large, coastal lagoon, converted to 2,000 ha of salt pans, and a dune system. The lagoon is fed with fresh water by the Cixerri and Mannu rivers. Vegetation consists of extensive reedbeds and salt-tolerant plants. The lagoon supports rich fish and invertebrate faunas and is a critical habitat for numerous important species of breeding, wintering and staging waterbirds.
The site was included in the Montreux Record in 04/07/1990 for excessive anthropogenic disturbance, increasing industrialization associated with urban and agriculture effluent from the city of Cagliari and its surroundings, and eutrophication.
Restoration and ameliorative measures have been taken since then."Stagno di Cagliari" was granted a co-financing under Life Nature'96. An institutional entity, named the "Intercommunal Office for the management of the SPA Stagno di Cagliari", was established and carried out several activities for the recovery of the natural lagoon ecosystem and various other measures aiming at sustainable management of the site through updating the management plan and simultaneously increasing monitoring activities and environmental education initiatives. Environmental investigations were conducted to check the state of environmental health of potential targets of contamination.
A further protection to the site was given throughout international recognition status: "Santa Gilla" pond has been designated "Special Protection Area" under Directive 79/409/EEC as well as proposed as a Site of Community Importance under the Directive 92/43/EEC. The wetland was also included in the list of sites important for bird life in Europe under the IBA Program (Important Bird Areas)
The site shows a remarkable recovery since the problems were faced. More information is available in the questionnaire provided by the Italian Administrative Authority (PDF).
The Montreux Record was created by the Parties in 1990 to highlight those Wetlands of International Importance that require urgent conservation attention. Sites are added and removed from the Record at the request of the Party concerned in collaboration with the Secretariat and members of the STRP. There are presently 55 Ramsar sites on the Record, and over the years 27 sites have been removed from the list because of improvements in their situations. The Guidelines for listing and removing a site were defined by Resolution VI.1 (1996) and can be seen at caxref:2169.

Breath of silence
1 Kings 19:1-4, (5-7), 8-15a
For more commentary on this week's readings, see the Reflections on the Lectionary page, which includes Villegas's current Living by the Word column as well as past magazine and blog content. For full-text access to all articles, subscribe to the Century.
When the angel of the Lord told Elijah to go to Mount Horeb, Elijah knew he would encounter God. After all, Horeb was where God spoke to Moses with fire and to Israel with a storm. But for Elijah, God didnŌĆÖt show up as expected.
On the mountain, Elijah endured a fierce wind and an earthquake and a fire, ŌĆ£but the Lord was not in the windŌĆ"not in the earthquakeŌĆ"not in the fire.ŌĆØ Not, not and not. The storyteller makes it clear to us, the readers, that God will not be found this time in the grand spectacles of power. Instead, silence: ŌĆ£After the fire a sound of sheer silence,ŌĆØ or as another translator puts it, ŌĆ£the sound of faint silence.ŌĆØ
IŌĆÖve been learning to pay attention to the silence, to the God who comes to us in moments of speechlessness. Like last Sunday, when Kendra said at the end of her congregational prayer, ŌĆ£And now, O Lord, hear the prayers we offer in silence.ŌĆØ As I sat in the quiet stillness, I could hear the faint breath of the person sitting in the pew behind me, her gentle inhale and exhale.
I remember that when Jesus came back from the dead to be with his disciples, the scriptures say that ŌĆ£he breathed on them and said to them, ŌĆśReceive the Holy Spirit.ŌĆÖŌĆØ In our prayerful silence, I wonder if I can hear the Spirit in my neighborŌĆÖs breath, as the life of Jesus circulates through our bodies at rest in GodŌĆÖs presenceŌĆöthe church as the body of Christ, alive with the breath of the Holy Spirit.
In their prayer guide, the Benedictines describe the moments of quiet during their worship as ŌĆ£liturgies of silence,ŌĆØ which are ŌĆ£a constant epiphany of the SpiritŌĆØ in which the praying body opens itself to the God who announces her presence in wordless stillness: the Holy SpiritŌĆÖs breath.
A sound of faint silence.

St. George » Good quality of life is a term you're likely to hear when you talk to someone about the lure of Utah's southwestern corner.
And, while some might highlight the web of bike trails or redrock hiking, parks or golfing, almost everyone mentions the area's clean, often crystalline air. Protecting that air quality here has become a rallying point for business, government and advocates for health and the environment.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"Lots of people move here for the quality of life and clean air," said Gail Bunker, a member of the St. George City Council. "We've got to have good air quality to have people participating in these [outdoor] activities."
"As a city, we're trying to protect the citizens. We want to be proactive, ahead of the curve."
In other parts of the state, cleaning up the air is not a matter of choice but necessity.
In Utah's urban heart, the Utah Division of Air Quality has a small army of specialists working full-time on solutions to sooty and dusty pollution on the Wasatch Front that violates the federal Clean Air Act and worries health advocates.
Up north, Cache County is brainstorming fixes for the nasty episodes of microscopic soot called PM 2.5 that sometimes blights the valley basin in winter. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency wants the plan done by the year's end.
East, in the Uinta Basin, the EPA already has put state and local leaders on notice that unexpectedly high ozone or smoggy pollution in the winter is a problem requiring speedy attention.
Taking action » Here in Washington County, preserving air quality is not mandated but mainstreamed.
Prompted by the super-hot, super-dusty building boom a few years ago, local agencies started fielding complaints about the plants that make construction materials and the construction itself. They zeroed in on the visible signs of pollution, especially dust that has died down along with the building boom.
Meanwhile, state regulators focused on invisible ozone, or smog, that is created by vehicle exhaust and other airborne chemicals that become hazardous after cooking in the sun. Over a five-year period, the state logged 33 "yellow" air quality days at the St. George and Santa Clara monitors and 71 at Zion National Park.
At greatest risk for health problems are retirees who'd moved from northern Utah and children whose families had settled here to be near grandparents and good jobs Outdoor recreationists grouse about the dust too.
St. George Mayor Dan McArthur responded with the Southern Utah Clean Air Task Force and, in recent years, an annual air-quality summit.
"I hate mandates," he said, sharing the idea behind trying to build a consensus around the problem.
"We don't want to be more strict than we have to," he said, "but we want to make sure we have clean air."
Local groups — from the Citizens for Dixie's Future to the Associated General Contractors — came together and developed a carrot-and-stick approach. Bryan Rodgers represents the area's 100-company construction industry on the task force.
"We just wanted to make sure we're invited to the table when any kind of regulations are discussed," he said.
Now trucks are required to cover their loads, keep dirt off the roads and water work sites. Construction crews must stop jobs when the wind gets strong enough to stir up the dust.
An intensive education program by the trade groups reminds members to limit idling and play by the same anti-pollution rules their competitors face.

Buying a home is a very personal decision. When you work with Rockland Trust, we take that decision-and our relationship with you-as seriously as you do. That's why we offer you the widest possible choice of residential home mortgage programs.
Your interest rate remains the same for the term of the loan. Shorter terms generally have lower rates.
After an initial fixed-rate period, your interest rate adjusts annually to an index such as the one-year U.S. Treasury Bill or LIBOR, plus a margin. There are caps on the amount that the rate can adjust up and down at each adjustment. In addition, a lifetime cap limits the amount that the rate can adjust over the term of the loan.
If you're purchasing a "luxury" or higher-priced residence, you may require a jumbo mortgage. Jumbo mortgages are specialized home loans for amounts that exceed $417,000, the maximum loan amount established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Rockland Trust offers loans up to $2,000,000 for qualified buyers.
Looking to build? Rockland Trust offers financing solutions specifically designed for new home construction or remodeling of an existing home. We offer a collaborative approach between the buyer, builder, and Rockland Trust in order to make the construction of your home as seamless as possible. These loans feature competitive rates, a 12 month interest only payment period, and much more. Please call 800.222.2299 for more information.
If you're in the market for your first house or condo, Rockland Trust can help you arrange financing through programs such as Buy Cities, FHA, and Mass Housing. There may be limitations based on your income, but we'll work with you to determine the best loan program for your situation.
If you qualify, you can rely on Rockland Trust to meet virtually any home mortgage need. We offer programs for a range of special borrowing situations:
* Tax deductibility: Interest on any portion of the credit that is greater than fair market value of the house is not tax-deductible. You should consult a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest and charges.

Got my true size without trying them on, definitely a little slim in the legs, but perfect in the waist. Im 6'0" 160lbs and went with the size 30. I'd agree with Danny, I could have gone up a size to get a little looser fit and worn a belt. Overall super comfortable, the flannel lining is perfect for wearing in the winter or on a cooler summer night.

I am a 30x32 pants size and was wondering which size I should get in this pant: 30 or 32?

I would go with the 30 unless you plan on layering up underneath.

These have a slim fit to them... I would go one size up unless you want the tighter fit.

I'm gonna be real honest with you: That's the most romantic thing I have ever heard in my life. I know, I know. It's rushed. They're 18. It's ridiculous. But love is ridiculous. And wonderful. And powerful. It's the deepest thing in life. Love is deeper than reality. This is a show that opened with Kurt Hummel getting tossed into a trash dumpster. He crawled out, he came out, he found love, he moved to the city to follow his dreams, and now his boyfriend is standing in front of him holding an engagement ring and asking for forever.
And Kurt Hummel says yes.

NORWICH, Conn. (AP) — Norwich is offering to handle sewage outflow for five other towns in an attempt to help pay for its $96 million treatment plant upgrade.
A utility spokesman tells the Bulletin (http://bit.ly/VD9ouh ) that officials from Bozrah, Franklin and Sprague will tour the plant Monday and begin talks. Norwich hopes to have agreements in place within a year with those towns as well as Lisbon and Preston.
Norwich will pay for $24 million of the upgrade. State grants and an increase in sewer rates will cover some of the rest.
Utility spokesman Mike Hughes says that sharing services can save the other towns money and spur economic development.
Sprague First Selectman Cathy Osten says Norwich's plan is one of several options her town is looking at to improve its own plant.

(Reuters) - BlackRock Inc
Net income at the New York-based company totaled $729 million, or $4.19 per share, up from $554 million, or $3.08 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding a one-time tax benefit from a charitable contribution, earnings were $4.15 a share, beating the analysts' average forecast of $3.82, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
During the quarter, BlackRock generated $11.9 billion in long-dated net new business, including 11 funds that each raised more than $1 billion.
Total net long-term flows, however, were tempered by rare outflows - $963 million - from the company's iShares exchange-traded funds.
Much of that weakness came from the iShares flagship emerging markets equity, fixed income and commodities funds.
BlackRock, the largest U.S. provider of exchange-traded funds, bought iShares from Barclays in 2009. The unit now accounts for roughly 22 percent of its total assets under management.
The company's retail business had net long-term inflows of $5.1 billion, largely because of strong investor interest in the unconstrained fixed-income and multi-asset income offerings.
The company ended the quarter with assets under management of $3.9 trillion, including new money and market gains, and generated record base fees of $2.2 billion.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
1999 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner
This 1999 review is representative of model years 1995 to 2004.
By Ann Job of MSN Autos
A perfectly good, though rather uninspiring, Toyota compact pickup gets a makeover and is reborn the Tacoma PreRunner. Based on the rugged style of desert racing trucks, the PreRunner looks like a 4X4 but it's only a 4X2. Best of all, this sporty-looking truck is priced thousands of dollars less than a comparable 4X4, and you get better fuel economy and lower insurance rates, too.
Ivan "The Ironman" Stewart helped develop the Toyota Tacoma PreRunner, and it shows. A Toyota race truck driver and winner of the Baja 500 and 1000 desert off-road races, Stewart was invaluable as Toyota engineers sought to put the same pizzazz in the ol', rather plain Tacoma compact pickup.
Introduced in 1995, the Tacoma hadn't changed much—until the PreRunner was added in the middle of the 1998 model year. Now, the PreRunner is known as the trailblazer in a new truck segment—compact pickups that have the sporty look of 4X4s but carry more affordable 4X2 price tags.
Quickly copied
A few months later, Nissan North America Inc. added the Frontier Desert Runner, another 4X2 compact truck styled to look like a 4X4.
What's in a name?
Truckish ride
Off-road, the PreRunner surprises its occupants. With only rear-wheel drive, the tester kept up with 4-wheel-drive sport utes on rutted trails and grassy fields, and given a good head of steam, the PreRunner even scaled a tall mound of loose stones. The truck wasn't quite as graceful about it as the tenaciously clambering 4-wheel-drive SUVs, but it accomplished the same exercise, nonetheless.
All the while, the truck's stiff off-road ride conveyed a certain, above-it-all, rugged attitude that seemed comforting.
Lighter weight than a 4X4
Tacoma an early standout Toyota couldn't have picked a better truck on which to base the sporty look. In 1996 and 1997, automotive researcher J.D. Power and Associates named the Tacoma the top compact pickup in initial quality, following a survey of owners who had their trucks for three months. But in 1998, it lost out in the initial quality study to the Dodge Dakota.
V6 provides tire-squealing power
The Toyota's torque was higher, too, at 220 lb-ft at 3600 rpm. The Desert Runner has 200 at 2800 rpm. But the only transmission offered in the racing-inspired PreRunner, oddly, is a 4-speed automatic.
Approximately 400-mile range
The base engine for the PreRunner is a 2.7-liter double overhead cam 16-valve 150-horsepower four cylinder that's rated at 18 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.
Simple, car-like interior
The interior is more akin to what you find in a car. Controls and gauges are laid out in a simple, no-nonsense style and everything is easy to reach. There's little flourish or flair here, however—no wood or shiny silver touches.
Watch the entry and exit on this truck. The PreRunner sits higher above the road than a normal 2-wheel-drive truck would.
Cramped, awkward rear seating
I was conscious that as I rode back there I didn't have a head restraint. My head rested on the back window. And I had to sit upright, since the back cushion was a straight pad attached to the back of the cab.
Getting in and out of the back also wasn't easy. The front passenger seat did move forward to allow more entry room, but the Tacoma PreRunner doesn't come in a 3- or 4-door model. The competing Mazda's B-Series compact truck offers a 4-door model.
Pricing details
But if you really want more than just a sporty look, you can get an Xtracab model and add the optional Toyota Racing Development package. It includes sport suspension, differential locks and eye-catching tires with white raised letters. The TRD package, as it's called, isn't offered on regular cab PreRunners.

Title: Store 3.0
Type: Survey Report
Author: Deloitte
Opt-In: No
Traditional retailers are finding it harder to keep pace with evolving consumer attitudes and expectations — and may not have time to catch up. They have come to a crossroads where they need to rethink how they can transform their stores, strategies, and operating models into a store of tomorrow — a Store 3.0™ — to attract the loyalty and larger share of wallet of customers.
Deloitte conducted a survey in September 2011 of 39 retail executives to understand how they are adapting their brick-and-mortar stores to a next-generation format. The survey results show that few retailers are leading the transformation to a Store 3.0™ environment. Many are grappling with how to create a well-integrated future store strategy — one that is attuned to the needs and expectations of the evolving consumer, brings the right technology into the physical space, and can deliver a highly satisfying experience. Plus, retailers are unsure about the roles and responsibilities of their sales associates in this new environment.
We believe that retailers who combine the best of both retail worlds — the sensory experience of a brick-and-mortar store with convenient access to extensive online information — can gain the upper hand in an intensely competitive environment.

One trip to Spain can never be enough. Every region is so different from the next, it is as diverse a country as you will find. From the sun baked plains of Andalucia to the peaks of the Pyrenees. In majestic Madrid, the Prado gallery houses haunting El Greco paintings, and 20th-century art fills Frank Gehry's Guggenheim in Bilbao. It's easy to pack your Barcelona visit with Gaudi's eccentric mosaics, while in vibrant Seville the royal palace Alcazar drips with Moorish influence. Spain is a destination that has more to offer than meets the eye.
Discover the rich variety of Germany's 16 states: from Rhineland Palatinate's castle-dotted vineyards in the west to the north coast's rolling dunes, thrashed by the North Sea. In summer, hike the Black Forest's velvety woodlands streaked with purple heather. Down south, the first snow lures skiers to the pointy Bavarian Alps, grazing the Austrian border.
If you love the great outdoors head straight for Switzerland's snow-capped Alps, rippling mountain-framed lakes and winding meadow trails. Take France, Italy and Germany's best bits, mix them all together and you'll soon see why people return to Switzerland again and again. Head to Switzerland's picturesque towns to sip coffee and people-watch on historic squares, surrounded by Romanesque and Gothic architecture.
Explore the French-speaking Wallonia region located in the south of Belgium. Flemish (similar to Dutch) is the main language in Flanders, which occupies the northern part of the country. You might want to learn a few words but most residents of Brussels speak very good English. A string of resorts and the ports Ostend and Zeebrugge line Belgium's 40 miles of North Sea coastline. Inland, you'll discover picturesque Belgian cities and towns with well-preserved medieval architecture.
Discover Denmark's 3,000 miles of unspoilt beaches. Head north of the capital to coastal Kronborg Castle, the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ferries link the many islands, and Denmark's small size means you're never far from services. You'll find that even outside the main cities, the Danes are generally helpful and friendly, and the majority speak at least some English.
Explore Portugal's distinct regions, from the lush vineyards of the Douro in the north to the craggy coastline of Alentejo in south-west Portugal. Enjoy holidays on the sandy beaches of Portugal's Estoril Coast and play golf in the Algarve. Or visit the mid-Atlantic Azores islands for whale watching and nature trips.
Austria may be small but it's also packed with variety, from grand Hapsburg palaces to mountain-framed alpine-green pastures. Stick to the cities to sip cream-smothered Viennese coffees in chandelier-lit cafes or trawl contemporary art galleries in fast developing Linz. Head for the great outdoors for lively après-ski chalets or ski down Tyrol's snowy Alps.
Watch windmill sails turning hypnotically around in South Holland. Or mingle in the hip bars and contemporary design shops of buzzing second city Rotterdam and you'll soon admire how the Netherlands combines the best of the old and the new. Drive through flower-strewn lowlands and pass picturesque canals to funky capital Amsterdam with its exciting blend of culture, history and late-night partying.
Explore the waterside royal palaces of Stockholm, Sweden's elegant and sophisticated capital, and the jewel in Sweden's urban crown. Test Gothenburg's fast developing gastronomic reputation in the west, or see the modern architecture that's springing up all over 13th-century Malmö. Gaze up at medieval Uppsala's twin-spired cathedral, Scandinavia's biggest.
Head to Norway to discover pristine natural beauty, from the deep blue fjords and vast wilderness of the Jostedalsbreen glacier in the southwest to the sparsely-populated Arctic islands. Cosmopolitan Oslo is packed with museums and eclectic bars, but escape the capital to find remote villages of wooden houses nestled deep in the mountains. Visit in summer to make the most of never-ending days under the midnight sun.

49 U.S. Code § 60139 - Maximum allowable operating pressure
(a) Verification of Records.—
(1) In general.— The Secretary of Transportation shall require each owner or operator of a pipeline facility to conduct, not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this section, a verification of the records of the owner or operator relating to the interstate and intrastate gas transmission pipelines of the owner or operator in class 3 and class 4 locations and class 1 and class 2 high-consequence areas.
(2) Purpose.— The purpose of the verification shall be to ensure that the records accurately reflect the physical and operational characteristics of the pipelines described in paragraph (1) and confirm the established maximum allowable operating pressure of the pipelines.
(b) Reporting.—
(1) Documentation of certain pipelines.— Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this section, each owner or operator of a pipeline facility shall identify and submit to the Secretary documentation relating to each pipeline segment of the owner or operator described in subsection (a)(1) for which the records of the owner or operator are insufficient to confirm the established maximum allowable operating pressure of the segment.
(2) Exceedances of maximum allowable operating pressure.— If there is an exceedance of the maximum allowable operating pressure with respect to a gas transmission pipeline of an owner or operator of a pipeline facility that exceeds the build-up allowed for operation of pressure-limiting or control devices, the owner or operator shall report the exceedance to the Secretary and appropriate State authorities on or before the 5th day following the date on which the exceedance occurs.
(c) Determination of Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure.—
(1) In general.— In the case of a transmission line of an owner or operator of a pipeline facility identified under subsection (b)(1), the Secretary shall—
(A) require the owner or operator to reconfirm a maximum allowable operating pressure as expeditiously as economically feasible; and
(2) Interim actions.— In determining the actions for an owner or operator of a pipeline facility to take under paragraph (1)(B), the Secretary shall take into account potential consequences to public safety and the environment, potential impacts on pipeline system reliability and deliverability, and other factors, as appropriate.
(d) Testing Regulations.—
(1) In general.— Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary shall issue regulations for conducting tests to confirm the material strength of previously untested natural gas transmission pipelines located in high-consequence areas and operating at a pressure greater than 30 percent of specified minimum yield strength.
(2) Considerations.— In developing the regulations, the Secretary shall consider safety testing methodologies, including, at a minimum—
(3) Completion of testing.— The Secretary, in consultation with the Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and State regulators, as appropriate, shall establish timeframes for the completion of such testing that take into account potential consequences to public safety and the environment and that minimize costs and service disruptions.

What dreams do you have for the world?
Society is not a constant, it is always evolving, always changing to best fit the world. But all these changes always begin dream. Like Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of equality or Nelson Mandela's dream of freedom.
It will be interesting to document the dreams we have for society, as only once these seeds are sown, can real change happen. This is precisely what I aim to do, to collect the dreams you have, which can be idealistic as well as practical, so maybe one day, when you really do have a daughter (or daughter's daughter), someone will make them come true.

Muy bonito y asentador el modelito. Te felicito!!!
I love the gathered treatment on the back, so many sweaters have a plain back that flatters only straight figures.
This sweater is lovely!
I'd like to see the front of the pattern
What does the front look like?
I wonder what the front looks like - back is great!
I wonder if the front looks as good as the back? Could this be knitted in a double knitting yarn - i live in the UK not sure how yarns compare to USA yarns.
Hi, I'm in the UK too :-) one of my Debbie Bliss books says that 'fisherman' weight yarn in the US is equivalent to UK aran or 10ply, so I think dk would be a bit too fine. I guess you could adapt, using smaller needles and working out the tension?
Yes, I wondered too if the front is the same as the back? thanks
Why is the front hidden? What's wrong with it?
For any Ravelers who want to see the front, the pattern is posted on Ravelry with pictures of the front.
Off to look now, thanks :-)
The back is fabulous. What does the front look like?
I'd probably buy this pattern if I could see the front.
Yes, me too. I added this to my wishlish and would probably buy if I could see the front.
Before deciding to purchase this pattern, I need to see the front.
I'd like to see the fron of the pattern
I went to Ravelry to see the front of the sweater. Here's the link. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rivulet-2
Thanks for posting that link. Makes a big difference when you can see both front and back. I really like the changes to the front bands that yarncollector made (shown in the Ravelry pics) and wish I had the skill to make those changes myself. Since I don't, I wish someone would offer this pattern with those changes, because, otherwise, the front is pretty plain compared to the very attractive back.
Hi, the back looks really interesting - would it be possible to add a picture of the front? :-)
Can we see pattern front please?I don't want to order it if I do not know what the front looks like.Thanks.

Bad blood rarely boils over during spring training games, but it happens. If not for Ubaldo Jimenez, we may have made it through an entire spring training without a bench-clearing incident. Jimenez, who now pitches for the Indians, drilled former teammate Troy Tulowitzki in the elbow on Sunday. The Indians insist the ball got away from him, but Jimenez reportedly threw his glove to the ground and started walking toward Tulowitzki once he drilled him. Couple that with the fact that there is a history between the two and that would make for quite the coincidence.
To say Rockies manager Jim Tracy is upset over the incident would be a massive understatement.
"It's the most gutless act I have seen in 35 years of professional baseball," Tracy said angrily according to the Denver Post. "I have lost all respect for him. To do something like that and walk down off the mound, and if there's any suggestion whatsoever that the ball got away, I don't want to hear any of that (expletive). He intentionally threw at him. He should be suspended. I am going to be very disappointed if he doesn't get suspended. He deserves to be.
"Are you kidding me? Five days before opening day and you are going to take a potshot like that? It was the worst I have seen. I have lost respect for him and that's a very difficult thing for me to say."

Kering Is Sharing
Last month, PPR, the French luxury company that holds stakes in brands such as Alexander McQueen, Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, and Christopher Kane (see our Kane profile), changed its name to Kering—a word that Laurent Claquin, the head of Kering's American operations, says better reflects how they like to do business. Ker means home in Brittany, ing denotes action, and, of course, it sounds like caring. Yesterday evening, at a sprawling loft in Chelsea, Kering hosted its coming-out party, and the likes of Graydon Carter, Julie Gilhart, and Cecilia Dean all came to toast the swap. "We're changing the identity of the group," said Claquin. "It's a new name, a new signature, and we really do care—about our brands and our people."
The group tapped blogger Garance Doré to help get their message across via a series of five short films—one of which played at the party. "I was nervous! This was a new way to do an interview for me," said Doré, who speaks to the likes of François-Henri Pinault and Christopher Kane in the films. "I'm going to London to do Sarah Burton next."
After nibbling on caviar and sipping glasses of wine, guests were treated to a performance by musician Oh Land, who was dressed in a full Saint Laurent look—complete with one of those giant floppy fedoras. "It was a little more challenging than I thought," said the singer of bouncing around onstage in Slimane's Spring '13 minidress, which boasted what she accurately described as a really, really long train. So what does the chanteuse think of the new title? "When I heard it, I thought it sounded very edible. Very yummy. It's better than PPR. PPR didn't sound edible."
