As we reach fever pitch on the eve of the World Cup, football fans everywhere have an early reason to celebrate – adidas has today taken a big step towards kicking hazardous chemicals out of the beautiful game. Almost a year since we revealed the brand's lack of Detox action, the official Cup sponsor has finally moved back onside.
Back in 2011, adidas was ahead of the pack – one of the first global names to commit to rid its products of hazardous chemicals. But unfortunately the brand missed the target – setting no milestones and making no meaningful progress. Following the release of our latest investigation into World Cup products and after three weeks of people powered pressure, adidas has agreed to clean up its act.
Working with Greenpeace, adidas has laid out milestones towards its goal to be toxic-free by 2020. The brand has agreed to phase out 99% of all polyflourinated chemicals (PFCs) by the end of 2017, building up to 100% by 2020. These chemicals are used to make shoes, swimsuits, outdoor gear and clothing water and stain resistant. However, the bad news is that these dangerous substances are polluting our rivers and lakes while some of them can even impact on human reproduction systems. Adidas' agreement to ban the whole group of PFCs sends an incredibly strong signal to other sports and outdoor brands that are heavy users of these chemicals: another way is possible. Detox.
The brand has also agreed a clear way forward to ensure it gives the public their Right-to-Know about the chemicals being released into our rivers – publishing data from 80% of its supply chain by mid-2016, building to full supply chain transparency by 2020.
Once more, people power played a crucial role in making this happen. The Detox movement is growing, uniting football fans, parents and fashionistas, all brought together by one vision: a future free of hazardous chemicals. Thousands sent letters calling on adidas CEO Herbert Hainer to Detox Football. Volunteers held protests in 30 cities around the world and hundreds joined a giant #DetoxWave for change.
adidas listened and got back on the right track for Detox.
This really is a huge step forward for the industry. It is also a reason to celebrate on behalf of those communities who need brands like adidas to take urgent action and help clean up our rivers and waterways. For adidas' customers this is also great news. With these critical milestones the brand can ensure the boots, shirts and jackets that we buy and wear are free from these dangerous, polluting substances. Together we are convincing brands to clean up our clothes and today we have taken one more step towards a toxic-free future.
The spotlight is now on adidas' competitors Nike and Puma. If adidas can do it, what are they waiting for? It's time for them to stop holding back progress and get off the bench to join the ranks of brands acting now to clean up our future.
Thank you to everyone that supported the campaign and took action with us. Today we can celebrate together.
Help us spread the good news and congratulate adidas for acting to Detox our future.
Great news! @adidas listens to #PeoplePower and agrees to come clean. Thanks @adidas! #Detox

Good news that adidas decided to reduce chemicals. #DetoxWave died out after a few days. Good effort, though! I wonder if Greenpeace fans will support...

NATO science workshop assesses environmental impact on military operations
From 4 to 6 May, NATO's Defence and the Environment Experts Group (DEEG) brought together professionals from a range of fields at a workshop in Vienna, Austria, to address environmental risks in military operations.
Because NATO's missions are becoming increasingly complex, they require cooperation among a variety of specialized fields. The workshop aimed therefore to address the impact of environmental factors on NATO operations and achieve interoperability of disciplines to ensure successful missions.
Nearly 40 experts from 14 countries in NATO, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and the Partnership for Peace programme participated, representing the fields of environment; medicine; engineering; and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.
This was the second phase of a larger DEEG project, the first phase of which was held in June 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden. As a result of the event in Vienna, work plans, the identification of responsible authorities and timetables for addressing each major risk are being developed. The workshop looked at the following themes:
- Interoperability: risk management of environmental issues that might pose a concern to mission success;
- Bridging the communication gap between scientific specialists and the military; and
- Emerging challenges: what issues are on the horizon and how do we begin addressing them.
The participants shared their knowledge and experience, and discussed the different environmental and health related issues of military deployments with experts from defence ministries, armed forces and other governmental organisations.

Bars In Astroria Lyrics
So here it is.
I left the Bronx
I'm on the 1
I'm on the run
I'm going back to Queens
I walk through the door
And look who it is
I didn't think Id see you.
But I'm glad I did
I can't believe you didn't see this coming
You shoulda read my lyrics a little closer
Ask me how much I paid my lawyer
You shoulda read my lyrics a little closer
You've got that crazy look in your eyes
So here's the deal
I'm at the precinct, not released yet
And they're calling you a punk
I thought you hated cops?
911 speed dial
Keeping your phone unlocked
Don't forget, I know where you sleep at night
Somebody help me please, I swear to god Ill pull this trigger
And watch your soul flow out

Like bees to honey, New Yorkers swarm to Balthazar. It's one of my favourite NYC restaurants, and we were fortunate to have been there for lunch on Tuesday. It's never easy to get in, but once you're at your table, the charms of Balthazar take over. Opened by Keith McNally in 1997, it's reminiscent of a classic fin de siècle french brasserie, complete with red banquettes, aged world-weary mirrors and waiters sporting long white aprons. Magnifique!
Like the decor, the menu reflects the french classics. Gruyere topped onion soup, steak frites or Le Grand Plateaux de Fruits de Mer — 3 icy tiers of crab, shrimp, oysters, clams and lobster. Balthazar is animated from early in the morning to late at night. The food is simply prepared and delicious, prepared by chefs de cuisine Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson. Even the bread is wonderful, baked in the adjacent Balthazar Bakery. The ambiance is loud and bustling; the service polite and attentive. In a word, it has 'pazzazz'.
I ordered the Frisée Aux Lardons, which is also known as Salade Lyonnaise — a classic, almost archetypal French bistro salad, named after it's origin city Lyon. Basically bacon and eggs on salad! I'd always wanted to try it, so here was my opportunity. The dressing is easy to make with few ingredients, and with the runny egg, blends to create a lovely creamy sauce. The lardons, or strips of bacon, offer a crunchy texture and salty smoky flavour to the salad. The frisée has a slightly bitter taste but holds up well to the rich dressing. This Frisée Aux Lardons recipe, adapted from the beautiful Balthazar Cookbook, is easy to make and delicious. Of course, if you're ever in New York...
- Salade Lyonnaise (Frisée aux Lardons)
- 6 slices of stale brioche
- 4 heads of frisee, cored, rinsed, spun dry, and torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup sherry vinegar
- 1/2 pound slab bacon (rind removed), cut into 1/2-inch lardons
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 3 tablespoons fine herbs (parsley, chervil, chives, and tarragon finally chopped together)
- 6 large eggs
- Sea salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Trim the crusts from the bread cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place on a sheet tray and bake in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through to toast evenly. Combine the croutons in a large bowl with the clean frisee.
Prepare the pan for poaching the eggs: Fill a wide-straight-sided saute pan with water (about two-third fulls) and add the tablespoon of vinegar. Over a medium high flame, bring to a gentle simmer, and adjust the heat to maintain it.
In a dry skillet or saute pan over medium heat, brown the lardons well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add the minced shallots and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, to soften and lightly brown them. Without pouring off the fat, add the 1/2 cup of vinegar to the pan. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape any delicious bits that have caramelized on the surface of the pan. When the vinegar has reduced by half, about 3 minutes, turn off the flame. Add the olive oil, salt and pepper, and stir well to combine. Pour this warm vinaigrette with bacon into the bowl of frisee, along with the croutons and fine herbes. Toss well to combine. Divide the salad almong 6 serving plates, piled into small heaps.
Crack the eggs, one at a time, into a small saucer and then slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 4 minutes, resulting in a set white and a cooked but runny yolk. With a slotted spoon, scoop out the poached eggs, one at a time, drain, and position on top of each pile of frisee. Sprinkle with crunchy sea salt and a few turns of a peppermill. Serve immediately.

During the last 20 years, internet options have improved and continue to get better year after year. If a company has been stuck with one option, it's probably time to search anew. With so many advancements in technology, it's easy to miss out on things like key upgrades and great packages. Nevertheless, each option has its own limitations. For instance, availability could be an issue. The business internet service in White Hall, VA may be proficient, but have an inadequate distribution network. Therefore, before making a choice, it is imperative that a company conducts thorough research on the numerous ISP choices available in their immediate area. The most popular types of Internet services are fixed wireless, satellite, T1, optic, fiber, and DSL.
The majority of business ISPs in White Hall, VA do not offer Internet alone. They provide a number of services as a complete package. Therefore, it is better to look for an Internet provider that offers a complete package. Email, business web hosting, and business phone service can be included. Not only is such a package convenient, it's a money saver for a business as well. This type of package should not be difficult to find, as many ISPs offer a full service package. For example, they will manage various functions for a business like support and service. If the provider is well experienced with a professional staff, expenses should be cut-down, which eliminates the need to hire a separate staff. In due course, business operational costs are greatly reduced.
A company should hire an Internet provider that provides consulting services and personal visits to the business to properly evaluate any needs. The ISP will usually offer sound advice about factors that will improve the productivity of the company like making upgrades to existing technologies. A competent ISP firm will counsel a business on the amount of bandwidth it needs, and may also include options aimed at managing devices remotely.
ISPs in White Hall, VA usually offer various internet bundles based on the maximum speed of the internet connection. Bundles with slower speeds have low prices, but they may set back the business' operations. ISPs usually offer various internet packages based on the maximum speed of the internet connection. Therefore, it is important to choose an internet package that caters for peak internet usage so as to ensure there is good connectivity when internet activity is at its peak.
Many ISPs may have limitations on bandwidth based on the usage and the time of the day. It is important to enquire from the ISP on their policies on throttling and data caps before paying for a particular internet plan. There might be other limitations on the usage. For example, some ISPs ban hosting of some services on their network, so it is important to know all limitations beforehand.
Businesses in White Hall, VA should be cautious of providers who don't offer any security services. A good ISP should provide security services such as anti-virus, anti-spam and DDOS mitigation. Ensure that the internet provider provides the details of the amount of protection offered. The resilience of an ISP is also important. A good number of ISPs offer failover for internet connections in case their network fails. Failover might cost more, but it is important to consider it if a business relies on internet connectivity to generate revenue. Providers should also provide backups for data stored on their networks; this will ensure that recovery is possible in the event of failures in the ISP's network.
Any ISP will supply at least basic assistance. However, more extensive support may prove necessary if a company cannot operate without internet access. For instance, a business might run a shopping website or provide shipping services in White Hall, VA. Such a firm can benefit from using an ISP with 24-hour support. To evaluate the quality and speed of this assistance, business owners should call before signing up.
Service level agreements guarantee specific amounts of connection uptime. For example, a provider's SLA could assure businesses that they will be able to access the internet at least 99.9 percent of the time. The agreement also explains what happens if the ISP fails to deliver adequate uptime. Many companies deduct money from the monthly bill when this happens. This gives them a major incentive to prevent downtime.
Talk to fellow business owners and look at reviews of various business ISPs in White Hall, VA. Some individuals post reviews after only using a provider briefly or researching it. Try to find recommendations from people who have used an ISP for long periods of time. They're more likely to know about the company's reliability and technical assistance. It's often riskier to try a new ISP with no track record.
Certain areas of the country may offer limited choices when it comes to a business ISP. However, companies should still do an in-depth comparison before making their selection. This way companies can be certain of getting the most for their money. For instance, businesses in White Hall, VA deserve an ISP that is prepared for the rapid advances in future technology. A good ISP will be able to adjust their services to keep up with the ever-evolving internet.
Moving forward businesses will need to transition to an IPv6 connection for all their internet services. This means that business ISPs must already be thinking about these issues. IPv6 is set to replace the old IPv4, as it provides a limitless number of IP addresses for websites. IPv6 also makes it easier to configure the internet, which should ultimately lead to greater savings for businesses when connecting to the internet. Ask those ISPs if they have started using IPv6 before deciding which one to use for internet service. It just may dramatically reduce expenses and increase production soon.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market.

Stanford, Notre Dame and ... the University of Miami?
As news spread that a convicted Ponzi schemer said he plied University of Miami football players with everything from booze to prostitutes, university president Donna Shalala tried -- as best she could -- to spin the story away from the troubling allegations.
"Let us not forget who we are," Shalala said in a video posted on the university's website Aug. 29. "Nationally the academic achievements of our student-athletes are mentioned in the same breath and spirit as Notre Dame and Stanford. This is because we are first and foremost an academic institution."
Notre Dame. Stanford. And ... UM. Really?
We checked it out and rated her statement Mostly False.

Jingoism should have no place
There is definitely something to be proud of in the way Anil Kumble played his cricket in Sydney, writes Pradeep Magazine.cricket Updated: Jan 10, 2008 01:43 IST
For someone who loathes being jingoistic and believes that chest beating reflects a mindset riven with an inferiority complex, the last five days have been a mind-churning experience. Much as one hated the intimidating aggression of our rivals and squirmed at the way Indians love to hide behind the veil of "unfair play" as a cover-up for their inferior skills, there was still great admiration for the way Australians play their cricket.
Waking up the day after the loss, one expectedly finds the newspapers doing their bit to add to what the TV channels have been telling us —about how biased umpiring did us in. Then, one part of you wants to say why blame the umpires alone? Why blame the Australians? Why couldn't our team last two sessions on the final day. Even after having been literally mowed down by the umpires, we should have been able to save the match.
No matter how many dollops of jingoistic claptrap our media dishes out, the fact remains that in the end we just could not bat for 70 overs to save a Test.
And yet there is something within you that says you are not being fair. You are not being fair to a team that, despite their timid defeat in the first Test, had fought with a tigerish resolve on the first day of the Sydney Test. Had the umpires not intervened, India could have dismissed the best team in the world for around 250 runs. Even after the damning finger had done incalculable harm to India's chances, they still out-batted the Australians. It was an exceptional performance. Had the umpiring been fair, India would have, even by a conservative estimate, been ahead by at least 150 runs.
We can't blame the Australians here as the umpires are appointed by the ICC. Fair or unfair, they can't be accused of conspiring with the umpires to put India on the mat. This is something for which the ICC should take all the blame and introspect seriously why incompetent umpiring and handling of the game should spoil a Test match.
But India, despite all the wrongs done to them on the field, could have still salvaged a draw and been in a much stronger position to take a high moral ground and tell the umpires and the Australians of what they thought of them.
And yet, the images that are now stuck in the mind are those of a smug, arrogant Ricky Ponting appealing for a catch even after he had grounded the ball; of Michael Clarke standing his ground even after being caught in the slips and of the same man's word being accepted by the umpire that he had taken a fair catch in the slips.
Images of a self-righteous Ponting telling the umpire that Clarke had taken the catch and also that of Adam Gilchrist jumping in glee
behind the stumps after catching Rahul Dravid off his pads.
You would say what is wrong in all this. All players do it, not just the Australians. Yet something snapped within you. This is not cricket and this is not the way a champion side should play their sport.
The captain of the best team in the world should take lessons in grace and dignity from the man whose team he was sickeningly desperate to beat.
There is definitely something to be proud of in the way Anil Kumble played his cricket and if you are an Australian, there is something definitely to be embarrassed at the way Ponting played his cricket.

Nothing too exciting happened this week, oh who am I kidding, I read books 2 and 3 in the Twilight Saga (hurry up book 4!!!!) Which deserves a post all its' own. Thursday night I ventured out to a church ladies sewing night. I know, pick your jaw up off the floor, I ACTUALLY COMPLETED A SEWING PROJECT! Martha Stewart (and Emilie Barnes) would be so very proud. I made a pillow, which I'd intended to use as a throw pillow for my couch, but it turned out bigger than I'd envisioned, so it might go on my bed instead. Who cares, I completed something, and it's actually not grotesque! :) I'll do a post about it with pictures soon.

I'm so excited that you finished the books. I'll have to start adding you to my obsessive emails to friends after i read the quote of the Day for Breaking Dawn. Today's really ruffled my feather's. I just keep saying, "They are meant to be teasers, they want me to feel this way!"

Yay, glad you're back to blogging. I'm going to have to check out these books that all you girls are going crazy over.
I finally finished "Everything must change" by Brian McLaren. It was seriously like taking a small sociology course! I'm ready for some fun novels.
- Mon Jul 28, 04:02:00 PM
Yay! So excited you're blogging again!!
My SIL and I decided to read the book "Twilight" together (I think we bought it last Thur?) and I have seriously read ALL three books since then. And I am now obsessing over book number 4! I feel like a teeny-bopper about to see some boy band! 26 is definitely too old to be acting like this!
Your hair is adorable. Can't wait to see pics of your projects!

christal it is so hard to decide! part of me is totally team jacob, but the other part is team edward. i feel like the books did a better job of developing a more well-rounded relationship between bella and jacob...edward and bella, while of course they have a great relationship, i feel like the author didn't focus as much on creating DEPTH of relationship there.
at the end of the day, i guess i'm team edward. what about you????
and monica, i am so glad you got into the books too!!!

I love Edward. I can't get past that! I get mad at Jacob when he steals Bella away. haha. I have issues. It feels like real life, when it's all so fictional. In the end, we should all blame Bella, shes playing with everyones emotions. :) That's my two cents.
I'm SO excited for the movie!

yeah jacob makes me mad when he's mean to edward, and to bella. it does feel a little like real life, heehee. i too am SO EXCITED to see the movie!!!!

GOP candidate Rick Santorum's recent comments on President Obama's "theology" continue to generate conversation, and the Rev. Franklin Graham joins Morning Joe to discuss whether the president is a Christian, Christianity in the Middle East, government overreach with religious institutions, and why he thinks Santorum is a Christian.
Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham and a prominent evangelical leader in his own right, waded into contentious waters Tuesday when asked for his views on the religious beliefs of President Obama and the GOP hopefuls.
Graham, the CEO and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told a Morning Joe panel he couldn't say for certain that Obama is a Christian.
"You have to ask him. I cannot answer that question for anybody. All I know is I'm a sinner, and that God has forgiven me of my sins," Graham said. "You have to ask every person. He has said he's a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is."
But Graham also said he couldn't "categorically" say Obama wasn't a Muslim, in part, because Islam has gotten a "free pass" under Obama. Graham also said the Muslim world sees Obama as a "son of Islam," because the president's father and grandfather were Muslim.
According to Edina Lekovic, director of policy at the Muslim Public Affairs Council, being born in a Muslim family doesn't make one a Muslim. A person has to make an active choice to become a Muslim, Lekovic said.
Obama has said again and again that he is a Christian, both as a presidential candidate and as president.
"I'm a Christian by choice," Obama told a group of New Mexico voters last September, answering a question from a member of the audience. He said he has embraced his faith even though growing up, "my family didn't, frankly. They weren't folks who went to church every week."
In Chicago, Obama was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for years, but he quit in May 2008 after videos of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racially-divisive sermons surfaced on the Web.
"Our relations with Trinity have been strained by the divisive statements of Reverend Wright, which sharply conflict with our own views," Obama and his wife Michelle wrote at the time.
The debate over the president's faith was brought up again on the campaign trail this Saturday, when Rick Santorum told a Tea Party crowd in Columbus, Ohio, that Obama's agenda is "not about you. It's not about you. It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your job. It's about some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology, but no less a theology."
Related: Santorum defends 'theology' remark, Hitler inference; blames media
When pressed by reporters after Saturday's comments, the former Pennsylvania senator said he did not imply the president is not a Christian, but said the president was trumping religious freedoms.
Graham told the Morning Joe panel that he and Santorum share the same moral beliefs, and that he's confident Santorum is a fellow Christian.
"His values are so clear on moral issues, no question about it," he told the Morning Joe panel.
Graham spoke with a little less confidence about Gingrich's faith, and cast doubt on whether Romney's Mormonism is compatible with Christianity.
"I think Newt is a Christian, at least he told me he is," Graham said. He added that Romney's Mormon faith is not recognized as part of the Christian faith by most Christians, but he wouldn't give his own view.
Romney has stood by his faith, saying Mormonism's values are "as American as motherhood and apple pie."
"I believe in my Mormon faith," Romney said in a 2007 speech, "and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers. I'll be true to them and to my beliefs."

Egypt's Morsi ordered held over Hamas contacts, murder
Hours before rival protests, deposed ruler probed for 'anti-state acts, attacking police stations, army officers … and premeditated killing'
CAIRO (AP) — An investigating judge has ordered the detention of Egypt's ousted president over alleged contacts with Hamas to help in his escape from prison in 2011, the official state news agency reported Friday in the first official word on Mohammed Morsi's status since he was overthrown by the military on July 3.
The announcement came hours before mass protests were set to take place across the nation in response to a call by military chief Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi for a show of popular support for his anticipated crackdown on Morsi's supporters and radical Islamists loyal to the ousted leader who have been attacking security forces in the strategic Sinai Peninsula.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which Morsi hails, also called for mass protests on Friday.
The rival rallies and the announcement that Morsi faces accusations that could carry the death penalty on conviction further raised the specter of violence between the two camps.
Starting legal proceedings against Morsi, however, could also halt repeated calls by Western governments to free Morsi or file charges against him.
The military and the police have pledged to protect Friday's protesters, and the army deployed tens of thousands of troops across the country, supported by armor and helicopters.
The MENA news agency said Morsi has been detained for 15 days pending the completion of the investigation into the accusations. His detention can be extended as the inquiry continues. The news agency indicated that Morsi has already been interrogated.
Senior Brotherhood official Essam el-Erian rejected the detention order, saying Morsi continues to enjoy immunity as the nation's "legitimate" president, and he can stand trial only as part of a constitutional process that allows that.
The detention order, he wrote on his official Facebook page, "lays bare the fascist nature of military rule … our response will be with millions in peaceful rallies in the squares."
The case against Morsi is rooted in the mass jailbreak of more than 30 Muslim Brotherhood leaders from a prison northwest of Cairo during the 2011 popular uprising that toppled Morsi's predecessor, autocrat Hosni Mubarak. There have been many reports in the Egyptian media that the Brotherhood collaborated with Hamas, its Palestinian wing, and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon to arrange the breakout.
Muslim Brotherhood officials have said they were aided by local residents in breaking out of prison, not foreigners. However, a court in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia has heard testimonies from prison officials and intelligence officers strongly indicating that Morsi and his Brotherhood colleagues were freed when gunmen led by Hamas operatives stormed the Wadi el-Natroun prison.
Hamas has consistently denied any involvement. On Friday a spokesman for the militant group, Sami Abu Zuhri, condemned Morsi's detention order. "The Egyptian decision is an attempt to drag Hamas into the Egyptian conflict," he said. "We call on the Arab League to bear its responsibility in facing the incitement against Hamas."
Morsi's only account of his jailbreak came in a frantic phone call he made to Al-Jazeera Mubasher TV moments after being freed. "From the noises we heard … It seemed to us there were (prisoners) attempting to get out of their cells and break out into the prison yard, and the prison authorities were trying to regain control and fired tear gas," Morsi said in the call.
By the time they got out, the prison was empty, and there was no sign of a major battle, he said.
Other Brotherhood leaders gave similar accounts of the jailbreak, in which at least 14 members of the security forces were killed and the jail's documents and archives destroyed.
The Brotherhood has been demanding that Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, be reinstated. His ouster in a military coup followed days of nationwide demonstrations, when millions turned out to demand his resignation after just one year in office.
Egypt's military, which views Hamas as a threat to Egypt's national security, has been holding Morsi in an undisclosed location since deposing him.
The MENA report said Morsi was being investigated over allegations of collaborating with Hamas "to carry out anti-state acts, attacking police stations, army officers and storming prisons, setting fire to one prison and enabling inmates to flee, including himself, as well as premeditated killing of officers, soldiers and prisoners."
Friday's surprise announcement about Morsi comes as Egypt's divisions appear to grow deeper, with Islamists stepping up their campaign against el-Sissi and state media whipping up sentiments against the Islamists.
On Thursday, the spiritual leader of the Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, said ousting Morsi was a worse crime than if el-Sissi had destroyed the Kaaba, Islam's holiest site — an attempt to fire up the religious fervor in the pro-Morsi camp ahead of Friday's rallies.
It was not clear what el-Sissi meant by seeking a mandate against violence — and how far the military would go. The most explosive move would be if troops were to eventually try to clear the two major sit-ins by Morsi's supporters. The largest has been outside Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, where crowds some nights have grown to tens of thousands. Several thousand had congregated at the site by midday Friday.
A more limited move would be for troops to take tougher action against any sign of Morsi supporters engaged in violence. Some Islamist protesters have been seen with weapons — though their opponents have been as well, and each accuses the other of sparking clashes. Another possibility is that the military would detain Brotherhood and other Islamist leaders who already face arrest warrants, including Badie.
On Thursday, military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said el-Sissi's call was "not a threat to any specific political group." He said the military respects peaceful protests.
But he said any violence or terrorism will be "dealt with decisively and with force" — signaling a likely tough approach on any sign of violence, which Islamists' opponents have largely blamed on the pro-Morsi camp.
He said a national reconciliation conference and a system of transitional justice, called for by military-backed interim President Adly Mansour, are the only way out of Egypt's current standoff.

2.8 V-6 Fiero Idler Pulley Kit, Stop the squeal!!!
2.8 V-6 idler pulley kit
2.8 V-6 idler pulley kit installed
Stop that annoying belt squeal with this new idler puller and longer belt kit for the 2.8 liter V-6 Fiero! Pontiac should have installed this in the factory!
This simple to bolt on and install idler pulley provides about a 75% increase in surface contact with the alternator pulley thus eliminating belt squeal. It also greatly increases the contact surface on the drive (crank) pulley. Easy to install in the car. Fits all V-6 Fieros. With or with out A/C. Just remove the two bolts, install the idler pulley assembly, reinstall and tighten the two original bolts. Install the new longer belt, tighten and you are done. No need to over tighten the belt now to stop that annoying squeal common on most all Fiero 2.8 liter V-6 engines. Carry your old belt for emergencies as the pulley will not be in the way if you need to reuse the original belt in an emergency.
This idea of using an idler pulley and a longer belt was first thought of by John Allen of Shelburne, MA. He used a different mounting method than my kit but he gets the credit for coming up with an innovative solution to this common problem on the V-6 Fiero.
Using this kit will eliminate the need to over tighten the alternator thus greatly reducing the wear on the alternator and water pump and increasing their service life. Also eliminated is the need to over tighten the bolt for the alternator adjustments which leads to the failure of the aluminum alternator bracket. Belt slippage is eliminated with even moderate belt tightness reducing wear on other components driven by the belt.
Replacement parts:
Idler pulley - Dayco 89007 or equivalent
Standard serpentine belt - Dayco 5050470 or equivalent
Power pulley serpentine belt - Dayco 5050440 or equivalent
You may also want to consider the reinforcement plate for the alternator bracket. This bracket greatly reduces the pressure on the factory alternator bracket and in some cases can be used to hold a slightly broken alternator bracket together.
NOTE: I now have them to fit engines with the Crank Power Pulleys. If you have an aluminum power pulley on your V-6 crankshaft order the power pulley kit and the belt will be shorter to work with your power pulley. Select power pulley from the order box below if you already have the aluminum power pulley on your engine.
If you would like to upgrade to a power pulley on your V-6 Fiero see my other power pulley web pages below for complete power pulley and idler kits:
Bolt sizes:
Thru the years several have asked what the bolt lenghts are because they are missing a bolt.
Top bolt is a M10 x 75 (If need be buy an 80 mm long hex bolt and cut off 5 mm or use a few extra washers)
Bottom bolt is a M12 x 60 hex bolt
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping is $10.00 (Midwest USA)
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.

Lieutenant: All hands on deck for July 4 weekend at Incline Village
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Regional law enforcement is pulling out all the stops to ensure Incline Village is covered for Fourth of July Weekend.
Along with increased foot and vehicle patrols, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office will bring a fleet of eight motorcycles to the community, said Lt. Jeff Clark, commander of the Incline Village Substation.
On Lake Tahoe, Clark said the Marine 10 and Marine 20 rescue vessels will be out, joined by boats from the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and U.S. Coast Guard.
Further, the department's gang unit will be here for the weekend, and a mobile WCSO command post will be stationed at Ski Beach, he said.
While the uptick in patrols is common for the holiday weekend, it follows the Incline Village General Improvement District's decision to staff the entrances to Ski, Incline and Burnt Cedar beaches until 10 p.m. on Friday, July 4.
The move restricts access to beach-only residents and their guests, effectively disallowing members of the general public to get an up-front view of the eighth annual Red, White and Tahoe Blue fireworks, scheduled for 9:30 p.m.
"I'm really concerned about that," Clark said Wednesday. "… But IVGID has made those rules, and it is a private beach. We're going to try and keep the peace and ensure that everyone understands that they certainly can put their lawn chairs on Lakeshore and enjoy the fireworks."
That's possible, Clark said, considering the stretch of Lakeshore Boulevard between Country Club and Village boulevards will be closed to through traffic from 8 p.m. July 4 until the crowds have dispersed.
Further, the eastbound lane of Lakeshore will be closed between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m. on July 4.
Considering the potential that people will have to be denied access, IVGID is planning increased security and beach patrols for the Fourth. Further, RWTB has hired extra security through High Sierra Patrol for the beach crowds.
"One thing that I want to make clear — none of this is costing taxpayers anything. We're not paying any overtime," Clark said. "Without any other events happening — there are the fireworks in Sparks, but nothing is needed to be manned in Reno — it's allowing us to be fully staffed in Incline."
The Nevada Highway Patrol also will have a minimum of five troopers patrolling Incline for the weekend.

Poll finds that Hispanics lack knowledge about census
A recent Pew survey found that the Census Bureau has a ways to go in educating the public about the census, and new data from Ipsos and Telemundo shows that the problem is particularly acute among Hispanics.
AdWeek has more on the new survey:
The survey found that the proportion of those who have never heard of the Census is slightly higher among Hispanics than it is among the U.S. population at large (18 percent vs. 11 percent). And the proportion of those who have heard of it but know nothing more about it is also higher among Hispanics than it is among the total U.S. population (31 percent vs. 23 percent).
The survey found that only half of Hispanics know either "a little" or "a lot" about the Census (52 percent), compared with two-thirds among the U.S. public at large (65 percent).
That said, most of the Hispanics polled indicated they believed the Census was important, with 84 percent agreeing that they and their families intend to be counted.

Lorna Mitchell has a new post to her blog today talking about static methods and how to use them correctly in your code (as discovered accidentally in her own code).
I was confused recently to realise that I had accidentally called a static method in PHP dynamically from another part of my code; I expected PHP to output warnings when this is done. On closer inspection I discovered that: static functions can be called dynamically and dynamic functions generate an E_STRICT error if called statically.
She illustrates with some sample code that, when run with E_ALL and E_STRICT throws a warning from the strict side about calling a non-static method statically. She also talks about why it throws this warning for the non-static call on a static method. She also explains why, when a static method is called dynamically, no warning is thrown.

What happens when you have a local farmers market nearby where you get fruits and vegetables at a very low cost?.....There will be more fruits and vegetables at home than required, and sometimes aiming to the bin! That's what happened quite a few times at my home recently. The farmers market nearby is a whole sale market where we get loads of stuffs as cheap as chips.....Recently I had asked my HD to get some Bananas along with other stuffs and he bought more than dozen bananas! I am not much of a banana fan; I eat it once in a while but not so frequently to finish them all....So I had to think of options of how to use up the bananas without wasting any.....I used them in fruit salads, cornflakes, prepared some pancakes, drop scones and sometimes had them for breakfast!....I was still left with a few bananas which started developing black spots on them.....Then the thought of banana bread that recently appeared on many blogs struck me! Yes, I am Baking it........The Banana Bread, something that I was longing to try.... I then started googling for the recipe....googled and googled and got confused which one to follow since there were numerous amount of recipes........I wrote down many recipes, added and subtracted ingredients to my liking and finally referred www.Joyofbaking.com for the final recipe to see what I wrote down was almost the same.
I fell in love with banana flavoured cakes during my college days where I used to have banana muffins for breakfast. But after making the banana bread, I realised that the one I had in college just had the banana essence and dint have any banana in it. The recipe for Banan bread given here is very simple to follow and can be modified to suit your personal taste – you can omit the nuts if you don't prefer them, or add more nuts, omit the cinnamon and add the spice of your choice, or omit it completely..... In this recipe I have used cinnamon powder and for nuts I used Brazil nuts even thethe original recipe calls for walnuts.. There is a story behind the using of Brazil nuts. There were only just enough amount of walnuts for baking. Lucky me, thought myself. Got all ready for baking, heated the oven, placed the walnuts on the sheet and popped it in the oven...When I was setting off with the other ingredients, came a phone call!! Guess who it was....Oh, not a surprise and not a minister...It was just my sis. But why do I have to mention it here?.....My sister, I don't know how she does it, but always calls me at the worst possible hour......while I am sleeping early in the morning, or at midnight, or I am busy with something and running around like a headless chicken .........The phone kept ringing......I picked the phone and we started talking (The oven is still ON with walnuts in)....the talking went on for sometime until I sniffed a charred smell and made me think 'Hey, what's that funny smell all of a sudden?'......'Oops my walnuts'.....I dropped the phone and ran to the kitchen, and opened the oven, just to find my only walnuts turn into charcoal and smoke all over....So I had to find some substitute for the walnuts and used ended up using brazil nuts.... To be frank, even though brazil nuts are one of my favourites, I thought it just din't click in this recipe...I thought the walnuts would give it the best crunchy bite... And for the cinnamon, I have been having too much of cinnamony stuffs, that I got bored of the taste. I am looking forward to baking banana bread again, but making sure I omit the nuts and cinnamon and add a tad more of vanilla extract.
The Bread, or rather a cake, was moist and had a true Banana flavour with a hint of cinnamon. It was deliciously crispy as soon it came out of the oven, but later on got moist, but yummy. The cake was quite dense cake and we loved it with tea. I tried toasting the slice of bread and drizzled with honey....It was great that way too...Well, while you choose the banana, go for the one that is really ripe, because the flavour of the banana intensifies as the banana ripens. My husband thought they were sweet enough for him, but I thought it was slightly less sweet for my taste. I would try adding a cup of sugar next time than ¾ cup. For checking the doneness, poke the bread at different place using a skewer. Since there is lot of banana in the bread, it will stick to the skewer and give a false idea
Banana Bread
Recipe adapted from: www.joyofbaking.com
½ cup chopped nuts of your choice, preferably Walnuts or pecans
1 ¾ cup (250g) all purpose flour
¾ cup – 1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp Baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (113 g) butter
450g banana, mashed (1 ½ cups), 4 Large ones
2 large eggs, lightly beaten with whisk
1 tsp vanilla extract/essence
Preparation: Courtesy of www.Joyofbaking.com
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and place oven rack to middle position. Cover the base and the longer side of a 1 kg loaf pan with a baking paper. Set aside.
2. Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Let cool and then chop coarsely.
3. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nuts. Set aside.
4. In a medium-sized bowl combine the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold the wet ingredients (banana mixture) into the dry ingredients just until combined and the batter is thick and chunky. (The important thing is not to over mix the batter. You do not want it smooth. Over mixing the batter will yield tough, rubbery bread). Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes (It took me 1 hour and 10 minutes). Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the bread from the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread can be frozen.

text: Share: May 1, 2012 Widely credited with launching wildlife conservation in the United States, Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) was a forester, writer, philosopher, and educator. A graduate of the Yale School of Forestry, Leopold began his professional career with the United States Forest Service, where he championed the principle of grounding land-management decisions in sound scientific information.Leopold wrote many articles, essays, and books in his lifetime, but his greatest work was A Sand County Almanac (1949). This volume presents his ideas behind the "land ethic," which he described as a new relationship between humans and the natural world that would recognize soils, waters, plants, and animals as full participants in an ecological community with people.Leopold operated at both local and national scales, whether attempting to restore the native flora and fauna on his own Wisconsin farm or working with public and private entities to set aside the first of many designated national wilderness areas. The ideas, principles, questions, and concerns he raised continue to challenge and influence conservationists and individuals committed to responsible land management.At Cary Institute, we strive to enact many of the principles that Aldo Leopold so presciently put forward and to encourage the application of rigorous science to decisions that affect humans and the natural world on which humanity depends.
