WoW's Midsummer Fire Festival

Starting this Sunday, June 21 and running through July 4th, Blizzard will be putting on a World of Warcraft holiday event called "Midsummer Fire Festival". Every city will have festival camps where you can pick up quests. Players of all levels can earn gold and experience by visiting the flames around the world. Groups of max level characters can summon a new boss with epic rewards during the event.

Across Azeroth, brilliant bonfires have been lit to signify the hottest months of the year. The chosen Flamekeepers are eager to ensure they continue burning long into the days and nights of the celebration - and they seek the aid of able explorers in doing so. Traverse the land and delve into dangerous dungeons at their behest. You may return hot, sweaty, and a little sooty...but these spiritual guides understand well the need to reward adventurers beyond the promise of "enlightenment."

Cash for clunkers bill passes U.S. House

This is hotest news right coming now US release new car.read get more info

Legislation to provide tax rebates for purchasing new fuel efficient cars and trucks has passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act (H.R. 2751), also known as the “Cash for Clunkers” bill will give consumers vouchers of up to $4,500 to trade-in older gas guzzling vehicles. Washington DC – Legislation to provide tax rebates for purchasing new fuel efficient cars and trucks has passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act (H.R. 2751), also known as the “Cash for Clunkers” bill will give consumers vouchers of up to $4,500 to trade-in older gas guzzling vehicles. Eighth District Congressman Jim Oberstar supported the bill because it accomplishes three key goals. “ This legislation helps us reduce greenhouse gases, decreases our dependence on foreign oil and saves jobs in the struggling auto industry,” said Oberstar. “We can improve our environment and stimulate the economy at the same time.” “This is legislation that will put money directly in the pockets of consumers. In addition to the tax credit, this legislation will save Minnesota drivers considerable money at the gas pump,” said Oberstar. The Department of Energy estimates that a motorist driving 15,000 miles a year, purchasing gas at $2.34 a gallon would save $780 a year by switching from a car getting 18 miles per gallon to one getting 30. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to committee for further consideration. Summary of HR. 2751 The Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 Consumers may trade in their old, gas-guzzling vehicles and receive vouchers worth up to $4,500 to help pay for new, more fuel efficient cars and trucks. The program will provide for approximately one million new car or truck purchases. The agreement divides these new cars and trucks into four categories. Miles per gallon figures below refer to EPA “window sticker” values · Passenger Cars: The old vehicle must get 18 mpg or less. New passenger cars with mileage of at least 22 mpg are eligible for vouchers. If the mileage of the new car is at least 4 mpg higher than the old vehicle, the voucher will be worth $3,500. If the mileage of the new car is at least 10 mpg higher than the old vehicle, the voucher will be worth $4,500. · Light-Duty Trucks: The old vehicle must get 18 mpg or less. New light trucks or SUVs with mileage of at least 18 mpg are eligible for vouchers. If the mileage of the new truck or SUV is at least 2 mpg higher than the old truck, the voucher will be worth $3,500. If the mileage of the new truck or SUV is at least 5 mpg higher than the old truck, the voucher will be worth $4,500. · Large Light-Duty Trucks: New large trucks (pick-up trucks and vans weighing between 6,000 and 8,500 pounds) with mileage of at least 15 mpg are eligible for vouchers. If the mileage of the new truck is at least 1 mpg higher than the old truck, the voucher will be worth $3,500. If the mileage of the new truck is at least 2 mpg higher than the old truck, the voucher will be worth $4,500. · Work Trucks: Under the agreement, consumers can trade in a pre-2002 work truck (defined as a pick-up truck or cargo van weighing from 8,500-10,000 pounds) and receive a voucher worth $3,500 for a new work truck in the same or smaller weight class. There will be a finite number of these vouchers, based on this vehicle class’s market share. There are no EPA mileage measures for these trucks; however, because newer models are cleaner than older models, the age requirement ensures that the trade will improve environmental quality. Consumers can also “trade down,” receiving a $3,500 voucher for trading in an older work truck and purchasing a smaller light-duty truck weighing from 6,000 – 8,500 pounds.

TV producer Sam Simon says he's been told more than once that his private poker games are so entertaining, they should be a show.

He's putting that to the test with "Sam's Game," debuting Thursday on Playboy TV.

Among the players: Artie Lange, Norm MacDonald, Jennifer Tilly and Brande Roderick, a former Playmate of the Year and "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant.

Poker champions also take part.

According to Simon, the Texas Hold 'Em games may not always be stellar, but they will be funny — and that's comedy of the raw sort, along with unfiltered language to match.

"Sam's Game" is filmed at The Palms casino and resort in Las Vegas.

World Cup Qualifying: U.S. 2, Honduras 1

World Cup Qualifying: U.S. 2, Honduras 1

States Coach Bob Bradley made four changes to his lineup for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Honduras, dropping DeMarcus Beasley and Marvell Wynne in an attempt to tighten up the defense.

Mistakes by Beasley and Wynne led to two goals by Costa Rica in first 13 minutes of the Americans’ 3-0 loss on Wednesday. Jonathan Spector and Jonathan Bornstein replaced them in the starting lineup on Saturday night.

Bradley’s other changes included inserting Ricardo Clark in midfield for Michael Bradley, who is suspended, and putting Connor Casey at forward. Casey will take the place of Landon Donovan, who drops into midfield. Jose Francisco Torres, who started Wednesday but was replaced at halftime, is out of the starting lineup.

Update | 8:47 p.m. Well that didn’t work. Honduras 1, United States 0 in the fifth minute.

Update | Halftime, 9:20 p.m. The U.S. has to feel better about the end of the first half than it did about the first few minutes, when a ghastly giveaway by Clint Dempsey in the center circle put the Americans in another early hole. To be fair, that goal isn’t Bradley’s fault; Dempsey made a mistake and Honduras pounced on it. But, again, there seemed to be too much space in front of the back line, and for that it would be fair to blame the newness of a rebuilt back line with two new members.

Great half for Landon Donovan, who as usual seems much more comfortable running at players than waiting for the ball to come to him on the front line. He was dangerous coming up the left side, his driven free kick from the right side caused some trouble, and he stepped up and buried the PK when Honduras gave the U.S. some life.

Now the Americans are back on level ground. They just have to stop digging.

Update | 9:33 p.m. Benny Feilhaber on for Mastroeni for the second half. But don’t wait up for Torres; he’s not listed among the substitutes tonight.

Update | 10:19 p.m. Proving it happens to others, too, Mexico gave up an 11th minute goal in San Salvador and trails, 1-0, at halftime. That’s a score that would really help the U.S. Blanco on at halftime for Mexico.

Update | Postgame, 10:31 p.m. Brave performance for the United States’ performance tonight. It gave up an early goal and then really showed some guts to clean up its own mess. Landon Donovan showed some spark and converted a first-half penalty. Carlos Bocanegra threw caution to the wind and stuck his head in to score the winner in the 68th minute. Tim Howard controlled the penalty area and then threw his body around when things got dicey. Ricardo Clark cleared a ball off the line in the first half and swiped away another from behind a fallen Howard in the second.

The U.S. seemed to get tighter defensively as the game went on, which is a good sign for both the players and for Coach Bob Bradley.

Costa Rica won at Trinidad & Tobago earlier Saturday, so they stay on top of the group, but they and the Americans are starting to get a little separation. Here are the standings pending the result of the Mexico-El Salvador game:

Costa Rica 12
United States 10
Honduras 4
———-
Mexico 3
El Salvador 2
T&T 2

Remember: The U.S. and Costa Rica have played five games to the others’ four, but the bottom four will play Wednesday to put everyone at the halfway point. The next U.S. qualifier is Aug. 12 at Mexico City.

FRENCH OPEN 2009: Women's Final

FRENCH OPEN 2009: Women's Final

Svetlana Kuznetsova had waited nearly five years to win her second major tennis championship. She had slogged through three-set matches fraught with anxiety during this 2009 French Open tournament.

But on Saturday morning in Paris, Kuznetsova made short work of the women’s final against her fellow Russian opponent, Dinara Safina. She needed only 74 minutes to breeze through what was to be the hardest match yet, upending the top-seeded Safina with a 6-4, 6-2 victory.

“I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, losing to the winners,” Kuznetsova, a 23-year-old from St. Petersburg, said in her bubbly English on Philippe Chatrier court when accepting the trophy. “I had been playing many matches, and this time it happened. Really, I didn’t expect it to happen this year,”

At age 19, Kuznetsova had captured the 2004 U.S. Open championship, also over another fellow Russian player, Elena Dementieva. But she had twice finished as a runner-up in major tournaments, and had been known for squandering big leads.

This match had none of Kuznetsova’s trademark drama where she would seem to be in control only to fall behind, and then overcome her opponent again — as she did in the three-set marathon quarterfinal match against Serena Williams earlier this week.

Kuznetsova lost her serve on the first game of this match, but from there never lost her composure or control.

Instead, it was Safina, the younger sister of two-time major champion — and infamous emotional player — Marat Safin, who slammed her racquet to the clay court after she double-faulted — her seventh — to give the match to Kuznetsova.

Safina, 23, had shown little of the dominance she had exhibited in the spring season, when she had won 20 of her last 21 matches. That one previous defeat was also to Kuznetsova.

With an arsenal of tricky drop shots to go with her powerful groundstrokes that routinely wrong-footed Safina, Kuznetsova moved around the court with ease. Her leg strength might just be hereditary, since her mother is a six-time world champion cyclist and her father a five-time Olympic coach. Her brother, Nikolai, won a silver medal in the 1996 Olympics in cycling.

Kuznetsova seemed bouyed by meeting her idol, Steffi Graf, in the locker room before the match for the first time. Graf, a six-time French Open champion, was on hand to present Kuznetstova the trophy a little more than an hour later, and the two hugged on court.

After thanking the crowd and her family, Kuznetsova praised her fellow countrywoman, Safina, and said that one day she would get that first major championship. “I guess today I played a little better,” she said. “I am sorry for that.”

FRENCH OPEN 2009: Men's Final Preview

OPEN 2009: Men's Final Preview

Robin Soderling SWE (23) vs. Roger Federer SUI (2). For the fourth year in a row, Roger Federer is in the Roland Garros final, his 19th career final, matching Ivan Lendl's career record. However, for the first time, Federer will not have his arch-nemesis standing in the way of a major title in Paris. The new opponent is Robin Soderling, who executed one of the great tennis upsets of all time last Sunday when he dismissed World #1 Rafael Nadal (who had never lost a match at the French Open!) in four sets 6-2 6-7(2) 6-4 7-6(2).

When 4-time defending champion Nadal lost in the fourth round, most people thought that Federer became the prohibitive favorite to win the 2009 Roland Garros title. However, since then Federer needed 5 sets to get past a spirited challenge from Tommy Haas in the fourth round and another 5 sets to get past Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals. Federer was 5-0 and had never lost a set to the Argentine kid but the del Potro who competed on Friday easily won the first set and put up stiff resistance for nearly 3 and a half hours, finally succumbing 3-6 7-6(2) 2-6 6-1 6-4. And this wasn't even the best match of the day, that honor was bestowed upon the barnburner Fernando Gonzalez and Soderling threw down.

Soderling started off very well, winning the first two sets by blasting winners and serving big and got himself to within 6 points of winning during the 3rd set. Then Gonzalez managed to hold, break and hold and suddenly Soderling went through a bad patch and found himself down 0--3 and 1-4 in the fifth and final set. Amazingly, Soderling was able to win 5 consecutive games to clinch his first ever Grand Slam final. He and Gonzo combined for a mind-boggling total of 143 winners, 75 by the eventual winner of the match.

Sunday's final will be huge for both players, but there's no question more of the pressure is on Federer. Everyone expects him to win, since he is no longer facing nadal. If Federer does win, he can silence (most of) the naysayers who would deny him title of the Greatest Of All Time by winning his 14th major title and completing his career Grand Slam. If Soderling wins, he will ensure his name will be enshrined in the history books, as one of the other men who denied (or delayed?) Federer achieving from achieving this status and who beat and replaced Nadal as the King of Clay.

Head-to-head Federer has played Soderling nine times on multiple surfaces and only ever lost one tiebreak set to him but very many of the sets have been close, showing that even before his Paris breakthrough the Swede was a dangerous opponent. The new Soderling is even more lethal, because he surely believes he is on a Mission with Destiny and he now also possesses a powerful, fit body to complement his powerful groundstrokes and nervy serving (120-plus mph second serves).

However, Federer is the most talented player of his generation and at the end of the day he should be able to use his versatility and variety to come up with a solution to win the match. It is also likely that since Soderling is playing in his first Grand Slam final, mentally he will be satisfied with the Finalist label, while Federer will settle for nothing less than his hands on the trophy at the end of the day, for the fourteenth time in a major.

Yesterday, Bizarre Florida mentioned the strip club patron who sued a dancer over a kick to his face while he sat at the bar.

Now, we have the stripper’s side of the story, thanks to PalmBeachPost.com.

Sakeena “Suki” Shageer, 28, said she reacted instinctively when Michael Ireland smacked her “bum” (she is British) while she was up on the bar at the Cheetah Club in suburban West Palm Beach collecting tips.

Shageer said she is an old-fashioned kind of exotic dancer. “Back in the old day, guys couldn’t touch at all, especially smacking your bum that hard,” she said.

Ireland’s lawyers say he had a broken orbital bone, broken nose and has double-vision from the Sept. 26 incident.

"House" star Kal Penn's much-heralded road from the Fox series to the White House seems to have hit a pothole, or at least taken a turn into a cul-de-sac.
Despite announcing in mid-April that Penn's character had been killed off so he could accept a position as an Associate Director at the White House Office of Public Liaison, the actor, who was an early Obama supporter, has yet to actually start work for the administration.
"Though we look forward to him joining the team, Kal is not working for the administration at this time," Shin Inouye, White House director of Specialty Media told The Wrap.
In fact, Penn has no official start date with the Obama administration.
