Awesome chapter, Hanzou is a badass and that's all.
Signature by me.
I am surprised by how many people liked the last couple chapters, I thought that this chapter was immensely disappointing. The whole samurai code of ethics just felt unnatural here and seemed very forced to me. There was no real battle and Hanzou's power was basically reduced to him being a human biological weapon. What happened to the days when experience and a vaste array of skills where what set powerful ninja appart from the rest. Just as we saw with the Kin Gin brothers I don't really see anything particularly special about Hanzou his greatest power seems to be something he inhereited from another beast.
In my opinion there hasn't been a single good battle since this war began. The battles in the Chuunin exam were all far more interesting, intense, and believeable than the battles we have been shown in the war sofar. Even mid level characters like Kidoumaru seemed to possess far more interesting and complex skills than what we have seen from the supposed elite characters like Hanzou and the Kin Gin brothers. I was hoping that Hanzou would fight more like Orochimaru or Jiraiya, with a great array of learned skills, not just one or two abilities that have no apparent depth or complexity. Based on this battle I don't see how Hanzou could have possibly competed with Orochimaru individually let alone all three Sanin. I can only assume that they were all far weaker back then or Hanzou was simply lucky enough to catch them off guard without a way to deal with his poison.
As I have said many times in the past, when characters primarily relied upon 1 major technique early on in the series it was tolerable because back then almost all the battles were between kids but now that they are adults that just doesn't cut it. Having a character who relies on a poison sack would have seemed threatening against kids back in the chuunin exam but now we are dealing with mostly S-Class characters. Sasori used a deadly poison too but that was just one small element of his otherwise massive repertoire based on this battle I can't think of a single S-Class ninja who would realistically be threatened by Hanzou yet we are supposed to believe that he was able to take down Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru all at once?
To me the appeal of bringing these dead legends back to life is to show us what made them so great to begin with, give us some great battles, and provide some frighteningly challenging opponents for the protagonists. So far I haven't seen any of those criteria met. Its a shame, the chapters leading up to this war were some of the most promising in the series, yet ever since I have become less and less interested. I want to see the fights between these experienced be full of intense moments, a wide array of skills, with shocking surprises and intriguing twists. Danzou vs. Sasuke was an excellent example of what I want to see in a battle. Danzou showed us why an old ninja should be feared even against an overpowered youth like Sasuke. Jiraiya vs. Nagato was an excellent example of what a battle between two experienced S-Class ninja should be like, both using a wide variety of skills coupled with strategy. When I see the dead Kages and S-Class ninja of the past fight, I expect to see battles of epic proportions, battles that rivial the great battles I mentioned above and others like Sasuke vs. Deidara, Orochimaru vs. the 4-tails, Kimimarro vs. Gaara, etc.
The battles that have taken place in this war have been some of the least interesting, and most anticlimatic I have seen in the series sofar. If all the battles play out like the ones we have seen so far, it is going to be a very long year.
why are you talking like if hanzou used all of his power\techs etc?
he was going to use one that was supposed to kill them all. but he didnt. then he lost.. because he didnt really want to win.
not only that, it was clear thad an edo tensei ninja simply cant be as powerfull\deadly\mean as a regular ninja. they are just dolls.
and naruto (even the battles) isnt just about jutsu. if you cant "read" the other part, wrong manga my friend.
artifice was right in that these battles haven't seemed anywhere near the levels of the excellent 1's he mentioned. Got to say though, I would include the Sakura, Chiyo vs Sasori fight but take out the Danzou vs Sasuke fight. Just didn't think that much of that fight. His real skill shown was taking Uchiha eyes and being a really tough old bastard.
But to be fair, some1 else have mentioned that Madara has not really planned this part but it was the last minute arrival of Kabuto, which is why they could be doing so badly. It could be that this is just the prelude to the more elite battles with w. e. Madara's plan's are. In which case I do hope it will serve a very specific purpose and do so well in the long run.
We already saw the whole self sacrifice thing, I could understand it the first time but when Kabuto chose to get serious I was hoping we wouldn't see a repeat. Again, if we are in for a lot of these strong characters simply choosing their own demise I really don't see why we have to go through the tedium of seeing it happen repeatedly. Sasori willed himself back to death, that was enough. Like I said it is not simply about having better fights it is about having intense situations, the fear of war, being faced with an overwhelming opponent. Remember the first time Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura encountered Orochimaru? That was intense, you could feel their fear, they were vulnerable, it was a dangerous situation and it showed. This war seems like more of a game than the Chuunin exam did, the only characters who have been seriously harmed have been unknown characters and even in those cases their deaths didn't seem to carry any weight. In the Chuunin exams and retrieval of Sasuke, I started to care about a lot of characters who seemed irrelvant before I had hoped to see something a long those lines in this war but sofar no luck.
This battle is mostly to show the characters' ideology. It fleshes out Mifune's character (or rather just reinforces his representation of samurai honor). It shows what made Hanzou truly badass, and why he sank to the level he was at when he allied himself with Danzou. Hanzou started to use ninja techniques, too, but Mifune prevented it with his speed/swordsmanship. Doubtlessly, he would have been far stronger, but the point of the fight was that Hanzou had become "dull" like his ideals. He was once far stronger than Mifune, but this time couldn't win.
It's true that the Sannin were far weaker at the time they fought Hanzou. However, I'm sure he was stronger back then, too. That's going to be true of nearly every fight we see with these Edo zombies. The new generation will have grown stronger, and the Edo bodies will merely be a shell of their former glory, because that's the true "weakness" behind Edo Tensei (aside from possible betrayal). The Kin Gin brothers didn't show much power outside of their sacred weapons and Kyuubi chakra, so that was a bit of a letdown, but Darui still put on a high-level show to take them down. Kakashi has his work cut out for him with the Seven Swordsman, but Zabuza and Haku were clearly off their game when they were beaten, as well.
Most of the epic fights in past battles were between only a few ninjas, and took many chapters to both build up and conclude. Oftentimes, they had pre-existing skillsets, or otherwise simply had enough time to demonstrate them. In these battles, we're most likely only going to see the techniques the characters were famed for in their time, get a glimpse of their personality/ideology, and then move on to the next fight. Most often, they'll be beaten by a character who's taken over their role in the modern Narutoverse, and typically this character will use their "famed" technique, as well.
A lot of what created the tension and pressure in previous battles was the fact that there wasn't a whole army of ninajs around to defend our heroes. Right now, we're probably just going to see characters spam their big moves in conjunction with one another, or else use a lot of teamwork to wrap things up quickly. Two or three chapters is close to the longest fight we've seen, and it's just long enough to get a hurried backstory, see a few flashbacks, and get enough action panels to warrant a fight. When it's all said and done, this war's going to fill several volumes worth of pure action pages, so I'm glad that we've got a bit of talking/backstory to fill in all that fighting, or it'd be dull to read. The tension may be low, but that's not what it's really about. The true tension is simply not knowing what Madara's up to, or when he/Sasuke/Naruto/Kabuto will join the fray. That's when things will get truly epic; the rest of this war is build up for the main heroes/villains and wrap-up for all the side characters.
Seriously, this is pretty much a farewell speech by all our favorite characters. We won't see anything really new or original from the heroes, until Naruto/Sasuke step in, but at least a few of the villains are fresh faces to keep things rolling until all the good guys from all the villages say their piece.

Stroke Health Center
Vascular Dementia
In this article
Who Is at Risk for Vascular Dementia?
Some risk factors for vascular dementia can be managed; others, like age and gender, cannot. Among all factors, high blood pressure carries the greatest risk; vascular dementia almost never occurs without it.
Likewise, a high risk of stroke goes hand in hand with risk for vascular dementia. One-quarter to one-third of strokes are thought to result in some degree of dementia. People who smoke, consume excessive amounts of alcohol, have diabetes, or heart disease also have a higher rate of the condition.
Vascular dementia most commonly occurs in people between the ages of 60 and 75. Men seem to be more vulnerable than women, and the condition affects African-Americans more often than other races. People whose age, sex, or race puts them at increased risk of vascular dementia have that much more reason to manage risk factors within their control.
Vascular Dementia Treatment
Currently, no available treatments can repair the damage of vascular dementia once it's happened. Nonetheless, diagnosis provides important knowledge and the opportunity to prevent further damage.
Prevention typically involves bringing high blood pressure under control through exercise, diet, and medication. The same goes for diabetes if it exists. Patients should stop smoking and curb the use of alcohol.
Though medical options are limited, behavioral interventions such as cues and reminders can improve the quality of life for everyone involved. Family members and friends can place notes in visible locations around the house with daily plans and instructions for how to use basic items. Stepping up communication, reminding the person with vascular dementia what day it is, where they live, and what is going on in the family, can help keep them connected to the here and now.
Prognosis for People With Vascular Dementia
If the conditions that cause vascular dementia go untreated, the prognosis is not good. A person with vascular dementia may seem to improve for periods of time until another stroke takes away more brain function, memory, and independence. Eventually, untreated vascular dementia usually ends in death from stroke, heart disease, or infection.
Although vascular dementia is a serious condition, catching it early and preventing further damage are the best medicine. People with vascular dementia can work with their doctors and families to detect and manage the condition.

Python Defender 2
Python Defender 2 - 0.10
Erik Martin (neccarus)
I have learned a lot over the past months, and am applying what I have learned, to the creation of this game. So far there isn't a whole lot to do, but I have basic movement set up. All the menus will be custom made, primarily to suit my purposes. I currently have plans for 10 different playable ships that the player will unlock as the proceed through the game. Along with that, there will also be different types of equipment the player can attach to the ship, I am hoping to implement a tuning system of sorts, where the player can actually modify the different attributes of the equipment once it is on their ship. There is still a lot for me to work on, and I have plans of moving more of the code into class's and methods.
Updated the structure of my player and AI objects to inherit from the Ship class. No new content, but I spent some time learning how to use Trig to manipulate objects and such, so I have some new plans. Read more at my home page.

They had only 3 losing seasons in 9 years with Smith (2 of which were 7-9). They also won their division 3 times. They went 3 times in 9 years to the playoffs and missed out twice because once of a tie breaker (2012) and once they went 9-7 and the Eagles had a 9-6-1 record (2008).
In the 9 years prior to Smith they had 2 winning seasons.
Record over 9 years before Smith:
59-85 plus playoffs 1-2
Record under Smith:

I am glad the Bills didn't pick him up. Really glad. Now I can only hope that the Jets stick with Ryan. If Smith would have gone Buffalo we'd be toast.

They Call Me Jru
From Jru:
My name is Jru and you might know me from the treesit in Encinitas when I was on t.v. like every day for a week. Glad that's over and of course it would've been nice to save the tree, but here's the good news: This coming friday at La Milpa Organica Farm in Escondido we're having our third full moon music party. This time we'll have daytime demonstrations and workshops starting at 4pm and we'll be planting over 100 native oaks. Come learn how to do it and stay after dark for the music. There will be several bands from reggae to rock to fusion. After 8pm the Cricket Lounge One Star Orchestra will be recruiting anyone from the crowd to join in with makeshift instruments, guitars, mandolins, tamborines, harmonicas and banjos and what not.
I would be happy to help represent any green cause. Current workshops include worm bin construction, recycled jewelry making, a presentation by my good friend Theophilos on the realization of the fourth dimension and a presentation by my friend Dan from resurf.org.
Thank you for your support during the treesit and I hope to see you all soon.
No word on if Jru will attend Wednesday night's council meeting where the whole Orpheus tree drama will be publicly discussed by policy makers.
Bloggers note: I emailed Jru and I offered to give up my evening and come on down to city hall to give him a time donation so that he might have his say, which should be interesting.

Sweet. Great Job Jru and Kevin-ReplyDelete
Come on Jru. This is your time to have undivided media attention for trees cause. Thanks for all that you've done. We, who realize the importance of tree, appreciates the focus on preservation more than the common N.County SUV driving YUPPY will ever know. Luckily the children learned an important lesson about trees and questioning the unfounded actions of Government employees.
Hopefully, they will learn the lesson of accountability. We shall see.
I will be there. It should be the best council meeting of the year.
I cant wait to hear the answer to Fred's question. Who gave the order to remove the trees instead of a simple trim?
Chain Saw-Woops Again Frenken or Whats Going On? Hazeltine.
We demand an answer to a simple question.
Be there or B-square.
- Voting ResidentMarch 07, 2009 8:38 PM
I just read the N. County Times article. Its obvious the Parks Department Staff are clueless.ReplyDelete
Both Frenken and Hazeltine need to get get axed just like the tree they careless about and murdered over the years.
I got an email back from Jru. I have to admit that I was surprised that he said he was even going to show up at the council meeting. I will be very interested in what he has to say.ReplyDelete
I don't think this will be the best meeting of the year, but it should be interesting to see. Most of the people involved or speaking out on this issue, on either side, haven't put together a complete or coherent argument.

What important lesson did the children learn about trees?
For you, is it ever ok to cut down a healthy tree?

Maggie is showing her usual lack of leadership by allowing two meetings instead of one. Staff comes first, citizens, second.ReplyDelete

Maggie just goes for whatever staff wants. I think it is a good idea for Orpheus to be worked out first and then for the policy to be heard after they have some time to think.ReplyDelete

The lesson children hopefully learned is that trees are at the wim of careless humans, and without proper respect and care we could have a treeless community.
answer to your second question- Yes. If there is good reason. Many times there is not a good reason and the trees could easily be trim.

Jru..Jru..Jru...or wahtever your name is...go back to somewhere/nowhere and do some REAL work..not just showboating your "greeen" ideas which went absolutely nowhere!!ReplyDelete
YOU are in it for the 3 seconds of fame...I guess Santa Barbara figured your "cause" as well!
Jru had no idea he would garner such press. Circuit City could have taken some tips from him on news worthy public relations if that was the case. The only way they can get national media attention is to close 500 stores. Kind of surprised we had to get a surrogate a tree hugger though, seeing how much we all love trees here. Well, most of us anyway.ReplyDelete
"we could have a treeless community"ReplyDelete
That seems like overstretching the implications of the Orpheus tree removal.
Not sure what The Guy Without a Job (aka Jru) will add to the meeting. He deserves some thanks though, since without his treesitting, the issue wouldn't be on the agenda.ReplyDelete
I agreed with Fred's request to know who signed off on removing and "replacing" the trees, but mostly so that it informs the discussion that will follow about an Urban Forest Management policy. For that reason, the Mayor was correct to have the Orpheus Park discussion prior to the meeting about the UFM policy.
A cynic might say that the City Manager made the decision to remove the Orpheus Park trees before he had to go through the process that should be the result of a reasonable UFM policy. But the staff report on the matter doesn't really say who gave the go-ahead for removal, which is unfortunate. Nor does it give any indication how far down the "chain-of-command" a decision for tree removal has been delegated.
It seems like the Staff Report could be rewritten to provide more clarity.

Maybe its just me, but it seems like trees are being downed at an alarming rate all around Leucadia.
As mentioned, Jru called attention to the tree issue and as a result hopefully some positive change will occur.

What park are you talking about?
I am talking about Orpheus Park and Leucadia Road Side Park. I beleive both are clearly within Leucadia.

Leucadia starts at the base of Athena Street - there used to be a sign on the highway. Now, people talk about Leucadia like it starts just north of Encinitas Blvd. - wrong! Central School is in Encinitas, as is the Pannikin.ReplyDelete

The roadside park trees were diseased and a threat to those of us that live in the area. You wouldn't understand as you don't even know where Leucadia is and care more about the trees than human life.ReplyDelete

My view and based on firsthand discussions, the view of the vast majority of residents that live within one mile or so of Orpheus park:ReplyDelete
1. Jru is a transient who came to our area, lived in a tree, stirred shit up and left all his trash behind when he unsuccessfully completed his mission.
2. Our kids should be in school learning about math, science and language and not out of class celebrating Jru and his cause.
Jru may have good intentions, but the trees he was attempting to protect were fast growing landscape trees that needed to go. There were essentially ugly bushes. The focus should be on the much more significant "crimes" against trees such as cutting down the Torrey Pine on Orpheus near the fire station cutting down the healthy Cedar in roadside park.
Let parents teach their children about environmental ethics, not teachers hired to teach the 3Rs.

Union Street is the line of demarcation for Leucadians vs. Encinitasans, which would mean the park pretty much sits on the border of the two.
But what's the point of so finely splitting hairs? When the City Council meets, they decide upon issues that impact the communities that make up the city, all five being unique.
Leucadia's boundaries depend on how far back in time you want to go. Since Leucadians settled the area first, they got to name the streets within their territory after Greek gods. That is why Vulcan Ave goes all the way through Encinitas to Cardiff. That is also why Saxony and Neptune go half way through "Old Encinitas". I don't know when "Encinitas" drew the line at property that is now the Pannikin, but they did. I doubt if a Leucadian did it. Things like incorporation sought to eliminate Leucadia altogether, but because our communities are stubborn and appeciate their heritage we've kept our names and hung of to what we have left - boundary wise. Prior to incorporation to the north, Leucadia went to the center of the Batiquitos Lagoon. Not so now. Some big wig in Carlsbad swooped down on it in 1986. Now the entire lagoon is theirs. And yes, that was one person's decision too. Who's? Ha. We'll never know.ReplyDelete
The last effort to remove Leucadia would have been Redevelopment. Fortunately, we still have enough life to fend that off. Twice now. So when people get their knickers in a twist about Orpheus Park not being in Leucadia, I just say whatever. We've been encroached upon from all sides from day one.
The Pacific side being the slowest.

Well said. It is interesting to note that those on the Southern hill in Leucadia have drawn their boundries as the see it benefiting them. When the condos were developed next to what is now this park they were Encinitas all the way.
This nut in the tree and the weedy tree he was sitting in will soon be forgotten and won't mae the history books of either community.

At this point, Leucadia is a state of mind. And in the mind of the three stooges, it needs to be spanked and marginalized. But for those Leucadians and Encinitans, in the spirit of our ancestors who danced with wolves in diaphanous white robes, De Wald would have developed every inch with hundred story butt-ugly condos.ReplyDelete

Questions to Answer in the Agenda Packet on the subject of the Orpheus Park Trees
Submitted by Sheila S. Cameron, for the record, on behalf of many citizens in the community
We request that the Staff report on the Orpheus Park Trees respond to the following questions:
1) What prompted the decision to cut down the Trees in Orpheus Park?
2) When was that decision made?
3) What alternatives, if any were considered?
4) How did Staff arrive at the decision to cut down the trees?
5) Who made the decision to cut down the trees?
6) Why?
7) WHY after 9 days of negative publicity and reporting in 3 local newspapers, all local television stations, and even the national news, was the 11th tree, the last tree that was not blocking any views, cut down?
8) Who made that decision?
9) How can you justify cutting down trees to preserve views when the City has no protective view ordinance?
10) Where is the Master Plan for this Park? It was the first Park Master Plan in the City of Encinitas – so where is it?
Cost Questions:
1) What was the annual cost of pruning the trees before removal.
2) The cost of the cutting and removal of the 11 trees?
3) The cost of planting the 22 new trees?
4) The cost of replanting 2 magnolias that were planted in the wrong location (right where 2 of the trees had been removed) and then moved?
5) The cost of purchase of new mulch around the trees?
6) What is the cost for installing the mulch?
7) The cost of hand watering for the new plantings?
8) The projected cost of pruning the new plantings?
9) The projected service life of the new plantings?
Additional questions about the 22 "new" trees:
1) Why were the replacement trees not properly planted in holes at least 3 times the diameter (4 times is better) of the containers with the topsof their root balls exposed above grade?
2) Why were plastic arbor guards installed to protect the trunks from string trimmers and mower damage when the turf should have been removed to 3 (or 4) times the diameter of the root balls?
3) Why were the chippings from the removed trees taken from the site, paid to be disposed of when they are a valuable resource that could have been utilized on site?
4) Why were such large container size trees planted? Three 5-gallon size trees could be planted for the cost of one 15 gallon tree or 9-10 five gallon for the cost of one 24" box tree? Actually, the smaller trees are less likely to have defective root systems or have other structural problems and would grow faster.
5) Why weren't the loquats transplanted with tree spade? This could probably have been done at less cost than planting the new trees.
6) What was the design intent of the new plantings? How does it benefit the community?
7) Why were no native trees used?
8) Who determined what trees were to be planted and where they were to be planted? (mostly in the shade)
9) Why were two high-water use tree species (magnolia and So. Live oak) from the east coast, planted when we are in a drought condition and faced with reduced water availability?
10) Why are new trees planted at the front of Orpheus Park creating a safety situation where there will be no visibility into the park from the street by the public or Sheriff's deputies?
11) Why was no consideration given to the views of homeowners on the South side and East side of the park?
Finally, we request that all the 22 "new" trees that are inappropriate for Orpheus Park be removed and placed in some other parts of the City. Perhaps the Magnolias can be returned to where they were purchased or given to private owners in another City.
Thank you.
Thank you for posting on the Leucadia Blog.
There is nothing more powerful on this Earth than an anonymous opinion on the Internet.
Have at it!!!

For Immediate Release Wednesday, September 13, 2000
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced the awarding of $3.1 million to fund the hiring of 44 officers in 24 communities across the nation.
"These grants will help deploy frontline officers devoted to community policing and to help citizens solve on-going problems, " said Attorney General Janet Reno. "Community policing helps law enforcement agencies evolve into problem solving agencies and improve the quality of life in communities across the country."
Today's grants were awarded under the Universal Hiring Program (UHP). UHP grants provide funding for 75 percent of the total salary and benefits of each officer hired over three years, up to a maximum of $75,000 per officer.
"The additional officers COPS has funded have made a big difference in our nation," said Thomas Frazier, Directors of the COPS Office. "Police chiefs, sheriffs, and criminal justice experts tell me that more police doing community policing means less crime in their neighborhoods."
To date, the COPS program has funded more than 109,000 officers. President Clinton and members of the House and Senate have proposed continuing the COPS program for an additional five years to add up to 50,000 officers to the beat. The officers hired with today's grants are the latest installment toward this goal.
The COPS program is the Administration's initiative to add 100,000 officers to the beat and advance community policing nationwide. Community policing is a crime fighting strategy that encourages law enforcement to work in partnership with the community to solve crime problems.
In this award announcement the following 14 states received funding: Arkansas, California, Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Missouri, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Vermont.

Bought these for using the car in the winter (They'll never see snow though).
Excellent for grip, the acceleration is absolutely amazing. An amazing tire! Drypavement - I ran a 0-60 time of 3.1s with these and my summer tires best was 3.4, this was unheard of!
I can't say they handle well, but that is comparing them to my summer tires so I'm sure they do just fine. I can pull 0.78g with my car around a turn I usually get 0.88g with my summers.
My only complaint is at about 100km/hr, if I floor it (I have 580 horsepower stock) the car feels like it starts to float - little worrisome, but once I stop accelerating they're fine. I've never taken them past 160km/hr but they're fine at that speed.

Hometown 'blade runner' signs with Fathead
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - 24-year-old Blake Leeper has dealt with his share of hurdles after being without legs; he has worn prosthetics since he was nine months old.
"Being born without legs, the doctors said I would never walk," Leeper told us.
But since 2009, Leeper, also known as the 'American Blade Runner', has had more ups and than downs. In 2012 Leeper won a silver and a bronze medal in London at the 2012 Paralympic games, making the Dobyns-Bennett High School graduate an icon in the world of sports.
In late October Leeper's stardom reached new heights when he signed with Fathead. "I really think it will help a lot of lives and it will change a lot kids' aspects on life," said Leeper.
Leeper is the first para-athlete to be picked up by the company that makes wall decals, murals and graphics of sports icons.
He believes this opportunity will give him the chance to encourage younger disabled athletics. "It's not only for me, but for all of the kids all around the world. To see me when they are going through a challenge or a situation and feel like there is nobody to relate to, there's nobody they can look up to, they can go to Fathead." said Leeper.
Leeper tells News 5 that signing with Fathead is just the beginning of a legacy that he hopes to create for para-athletes around the world. "[Being the] first disabled athlete to be part of Fathead is huge. I'm the first but hopefully I won't be the last," said Leeper.
Leeper is in Kingsport visiting family this weekend. He lives in San Diego, where he is training and he hopes to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janerio.

Emery County Commissioners met in their June regular meeting. Jan Bodily from the Four Corners Behavioral Health presented their annual area plan. Four Corners provides outpatient services, crisis care, drug and alcohol treatment and rehabilitation, psychological/social services, case management, community support, consultation services and mental illness.
Bodily reported they haven't had much change with their services. They are waiting for their funds from the state and they don't anticipate a lot of change.
Commissioner James Nelson said he feels good about the annual report. Bodily said they are proud of keeping services the same in spite of cuts in the budgets.
Commissioner Nelson voted to approve the annual report. Bodily thanked the commissioners for their support.
Clerk/auditor Brenda Tuttle presented the independent audit report to the commission. She said they didn't receive any management letter issues and the county received a clean audit report. The audit takes about two weeks to complete and was prepared by Kimball and Roberts.
The commission approved the right of way grant for the Wilberg Mine-Deseret Mine Coal Haul Road. It is a 30 year right of way over mostly SITLA land and some Bureau of Land Management land.
The county approved the tax rate for the year. Rates include for general operations, .003524; library-.000407; recreation-.000063; state assessing and collecting-.000168; local assessing and collecting-.000302. Projected revenues for tax year 2012 include; general operations $6,699,376. Library-$773,736; Recreation-$119,768; state assessing and collecting-$319,380; local assessing and collecting-$574,124 for a total tax revenue collection of $8,486,384.
The scrap metal bids for the recycling of metal at the Emery County Landfill were opened. Simms Metal Management out of Salt Lake City received the contract for $151.23 per ton.
The county approved a contract with the state of Utah and Emery County to establish a standard countywide process to create and maintain a master address list and assign a managing agency/office to create a standard data structure and provide web accessible updates on a regular cycle as defined as county addressing project.
Under the citizen concerns Trenton Bennett wondered about the situation with the building inspections for the county. Currently Sunrise Engineering does the building inspections and Bennett wondered when that was advertised and when that contract was awarded and for how long was the contract awarded.
Commissioner Jeff Horrocks said in the past they have had county building inspectors which are costly. The county has found that contracting with Sunrise Engineering saves the county money. Commissioner Horrocks said they haven't received any complaints about them and the work they do. There isn't currently any plan to bring back a county building inspector.
Bennett said he wondered when the building inspections contract is going to be advertised so someone else could bid to do the work. Bennett said he feels it's better if the county has their own person to do the inspections. He is a contractor and has heard complaints.
Commissioner Horrocks said it can be put out to bid. Ray Petersen, public lands director asked how long is left on the current contract with Sunrise. Commissioner Horrocks said he didn't know, but he would have County Attorney David Blackwell look at the contract to see when it expires and report back at the next commission meeting.
Commissioner Nelson said he was on the committee which hired a recovery specialist to help keep plants and animals from being listed on the endangered species list. He feels this is a good idea. Commissioner Nelson reported the national guard training in the county went well and he was taken up on a helicopter which was a great experience. The conservation districts are working to fight weeds in the county. Dining with the Dinosaurs was held at the museum.
Commissioner Horrocks cautioned everyone to be aware of the dry conditions in the county. Each city can decide for themselves whether or not to allow fireworks in their city. The county is adhering to the fire restrictions in place with the state and forest service and BLM.
Denise Allen was hired as a part-time assistant librarian for the Emery Library working 12 hours per week.

The third batch, a compromise between the two, was just right. Oil makes the bars chewy, but I used as little as I could get away with. I replaced some of the maple syrup with brown rice syrup, another natural sweetener with the thickness of honey and a mild caramel flavor that doesn't dominate the granola. I tossed in a variety of seeds rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids: pumpkin seeds for protein and copper, sesame for calcium and zinc, sunflower seeds for vitamin E, and omega-3-rich flax seeds to help bind the granola. You'll be proud of yourself for eating these satisfying snacks that showcase local, seasonal maple syrup.
3 cups oats
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
1/2 cup dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, or raisins)
1/2 cup pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
3/4 cup Maine maple syrup
1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Heat the oven to 325F. On a baking sheet, combine the oats, coconut, and chopped nuts, and toast for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes to ensure even toasting. Once toasted, combine the oat mixture with the seeds and dried fruit in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the maple syrup, brown rice syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Remove from heat and pour over the dry ingredients. Stir until uniformly coated.
The granola will not be set firmly when it comes out of the oven. Let it sit undisturbed in the baking dish for at least 6 hours. This is hard, because it will smell wonderful, but it must cool completely before being cut into bars. When ready to cut, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the granola out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board. Cut into 10-12 bars and store in an airtight container.

All photos/art by David Foster
Designer Matthew Mead has a flair for creating home ideas that recast familiar items in inventive ways. Consider the garden trellis. In his Concord, New Hampshire-area home, he's used them as headboards and towel racks, and most recently in the entryway. "Because its intended purpose is for vines to hang over it," he explains, "I figured why not try it as a rack for jackets, hats, and mittens?"
Mead chose a simple pine trellis about 5 feet tall, which he painted with a mossy-gray semigloss latex. "I wanted a paint with some sheen, to give the rack protection from the jackets," he says. He added a 6×6-inch mirror, attaching it to the trellis with epoxy glue (double-sided carpet tape works fine, too).
For the hangers, he used white porcelain doorknobs — "you can get a bag of them at a flea market for five bucks" — which he screwed into the lattice.
The most involved part of the project was mounting the rack. Mead hand-cut 2-inch dowels and screwed them into the back of the rack. "I wanted some light behind the trellis," he notes, "to make it look three-dimensional."
Next, he predrilled the wall holes; because the rack is light, only a few of the mounting screws had to hit studs. Then he inserted 3-inch Sheetrock screws through the areas of the trellis where he had attached his wall spacers.
Less than $150 (trellis $35 to $100)
"I think the whole reinvented outside/inside thing works really well," says Mead.

Use the same frying pan to sear the meat for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to slow cooker with all the pan juices.

Here are some points to help your sex life during or after cancer treatment.
Learn as much as you can about the possible effects your cancer treatment may have on your sexuality. Talk with your doctor, nurse, or any other member of your health care team. When you know what to expect, you can plan how you might handle those issues.
Keep in mind that, no matter what kind of cancer treatment you have, you'll still be able to feel pleasure from touching. Few cancer treatments (other than those affecting some areas of the brain or spinal cord) damage the nerves and muscles involved in feeling pleasure from touch and reaching orgasm. For example, some types of treatment can damage a man's ability to have erections. But most men who cannot have erections or produce semen can still have the feeling of orgasm with the right kind of touching. This makes it worthwhile for people with cancer to try sexual touching. Pleasure and satisfaction are possible, even if some aspects of sexuality have changed.
Try to keep an open mind about ways to feel sexual pleasure. Some couples have a narrow view of what sexual activity means to them. If both partners can't reach orgasm through or during penetration, some may feel disappointed. But for people treated for cancer, there may be times when intercourse is not possible. Those times can be a chance to learn new ways to give and receive sexual pleasure. You and your partner can help each other reach orgasm through touching and stroking. At times, just cuddling can be pleasurable. You can also continue to enjoy touching yourself. Do not stop sexual pleasure just because your usual routine has been changed.
Try to have clear, 2-way talks about sex with your partner and with your doctor, too. The worst enemy of sexual health is silence. If you are too embarrassed to ask your doctor whether sexual activity is OK, you may never find out. Talk to your doctor and tell your partner what you learn. Otherwise, your partner may be afraid that sex might hurt you. Good communication is the key to adjusting your sexual routine when cancer changes your body. If you feel weak or tired and want your partner to take a more active role in touching you, say so. If some part of your body is tender or sore, you can guide your partner's touches to create the most pleasure and avoid discomfort.
Boost your confidence. Remind yourself about your good qualities. If you lose your hair, help yourself to look and feel better by shaving your head with an electric razor. Or try out different kinds of hats to find one you feel comfortable wearing. Eating right and exercising can help keep your body strong and your spirits up. Talk to your doctor or cancer care team about the type of exercise you are planning before you start, or ask to be referred to a physical therapist. Find something that helps you relax – movies, hobbies, or getting outdoors. Get professional help if you think you are depressed or struggling, or if anxiety is causing problems.

Favourite flavour of Quest bars
Posted by Umbridge on Sep 21, 2012
I like the quest bars a lot, and this one is my favourite. It's so nice to have a fruity, rather than a chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter protein bar (like most of the bars on the market, it seems). The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of five is because 1) it doesn't have the most friendly ingredient list for some people with IBS (it has a fermentable form of fibre that can cause IBS symptoms), and 2) the nutrition facts subtract the calories from fiber. I don't like this and find it misleading, but I realise it's a fairly common practice.
Personally Not a fan- Lemon but not lemon
Posted by 5685696938055253913 on Feb 13, 2014
I wasn't a fan of these bars , to me the taste was artificial and it left me with an unpleasant aftertaste. If you like that fake-ish lemon taste you may like these.
Wonder Bars !
Posted by 5162120842993449999 on Sep 13, 2012
I have found these protein bars balanced in every aspect...They kill hunger pains and not saturated in heavy syrups or sugars like most on the market.Highly recommended !
Posted by 5378305177773116382 on Aug 07, 2012
With even some lemon zest.
Not edible...
Posted by 5393873050094288168 on Mar 29, 2014
Terrible soap-like taste, won't be able to finish the box... Love some of the other flavors of Quest bars, though, like Apple Pie and Coconut Cashew.
Posted by Reviewer1687335 on Apr 29, 2014
This gets pretty boring . . . but yet another winner from Quest Nutrition! They have, or at least should have, the protein bar side of the market cornered - I love them!
Really nice taste and texture

Good protein bar. Nice fresh taste.

Chili powder kicks up the flavor in crispy, batter-fried fish ready in just 30 minutes.
For tartar sauce with extra zip, simply stir 3 tablespoons spicy green salsa into 1/2 cup mayonnaise.
Coleslaw and oven fries would be great accompaniments to the fried fish.

Scale RulesRules for Drafting
To create technical drawings such as those presented by the traveling exhibition, Doodles, Drafts, and Designs, draftsmen needed drawing instruments with specialized scales. Most often, their goal was to represent a real-life place or object at a reduced proportion. Thus, drafting rules like those shown on this page were typically marked for making drawings at scales such as 1/8-inch to 1 foot. Sometimes, instead of marking the increments throughout a scale, only the first and last segments of a scale were subdivided to the desired proportion. These were called open divided or architect's scales.
Rules for drafting sometimes had plotting scales. These were divided into equal increments of a useful length, such as 1/2-inch, that could be directly transferred to a drawing such as a surveying map. At both ends, plotting scales typically had diagonal scales. These allowed users to reasonably accurately estimate the decimal division between two markings on a scale. Instruments in this category also may have a line of chords. This projected the distance between the end of a quarter-circle arc and each of the degrees along the arc onto a straight line. Finally, the scales for measuring lengths on rules for drafting were often divided into multiples of 1/10-inch, called chain scales, which were advantageous for activities such as construction or machine work.

The Green River High School golf team concluded their season recently in Moab. They competed against Monticello and Whitehorse high schools. Green River finished third and did not qualify as a team for the State tournament. The Pirates were led by Senior Kaden Robertson. He was named the Region 19 champion for the fourth straight year. Kaden shot a tournament best 79. The closest golfer to him was Monticello's Rhett Adair at 90.
Following Kaden for Green River, was Earl Nelson at 105, Adrian Lucero at 124 and Brittney Bastian at 136. The Pirates improved with each tournament and have had a successful season. Whitehorse high school won the region tournament followed by Monticello.
Green River senior, Kaden Robertson qualified for the 1A state tournament as an individual. The state tournament was held on May 15-16 at the Roosevelt Golf Club in Roosevelt. Kaden opened the first day of the tournament with a 75 putting him in third place. The second day, Kaden really warmed up to the Roosevelt links. He shot the low round of the tournament with a three under par 69. He could not however catch the leader and came up two shots short of the medalist title.
With his second place finish at state and a strong region season, Kaden was chosen for the third straight year as a member of the High School All-State golf team. He was able to travel to Salt Lake and play in the Hidden Valley Country Club All-Star invitational golf tournament. He played against 42 of the best senior golfers in the state. The tournament is a one of a kind challenge, pitting senior golfers from all classifications 1-5A, in the state.
The tournament was held on May 23. The event is a 27 hole event. After the first 18 holes the best 15 golfers move on to a nine hole playoff. Kaden shot an excellent score of 76 in the morning. This was remarkable due to the cold, windy weather and the fact that he had not played the course before. After the morning round, Kaden stood tied for third place. He qualified for the afternoon round. Kaden struggled on the afternoon nine. The greens were very fast and the pins were very difficult. Kaden shot a 45 in the afternoon and finished 12th overall.
The pros at the Hidden Valley country club stated that the course was set up tougher than when they hosted the State Amateur and that the scores were all good. Kaden was awarded a $150 contribution to the college bookstore of his choice.
Kaden was also honored as a three time member of the All-State team at a banquet later that night.
Craig Bolerjack of CBS sports and KJZZ, was the keynote speaker and he encouraged the young men and women to stay close to their parents and remember what golf teaches them about integrity and honor and use those lessons in their lives.
The Green River golf team appreciates their coach Dale Richards and the Green River golf course for their support.

Outreach By Design
By Rachel Herzl-Betz
Rachel Herzl-Betz is the T.A. Coordinator of Outreach for the Writing Center at UW-Madison, where she has been a tutor since 2012. She is also a PhD candidate in Literary Studies, with a focus on Victorian Literature, Disability Studies, and Rhetoric.
This August, when I began my work as the Outreach Coordinator for the Writing Center, I found myself fascinated with an unexpected challenge. Every year, tutors from our Writing Center have the pleasure of giving presentations and creating collaborative writing lessons for more than 150 classes, student groups, workshops, and events across campus. As the new coordinator for these efforts, I assumed that I would be caught up with new genres of writing and discovering new campus buildings. Instead, I found myself wondering at the wobbly line between creation and adaptation.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The paving has begun on the Moore cut-off road. Emery County Commissioner Gary Kofford updated the commission on the progress of the road. Last summer the price of asphalt skyrocketed and was unavailable to complete the Moore road project. The contract for the asphalt had to be extended to July 30 of this year. The original bid for the asphalt was $62 per ton. The Superpave asphalt which is used on Utah Department of Transportation projects still isn't available so Nielson Construction and UDOT have worked out an agreement to use another similar product. A change order was approved at commismission meeting which allows the contract to go from $62 per ton to $65 per ton. Nielson Construction has waived the fuel adjustment for the contract and this price is locked in. An estimated 680,000 tons of asphalt will be used on the road.
Paving starts at the T intersection at Moore.
Kofford recently spoke at the Democratic convention and updated attendees on the road, "Tuesday they started asphalting Moore Phase 5 and 6, this is under the Special Service District number one. We started asphalting 16.2 miles of road. Nielson's has the contract and are producing asphalt at the normal rate. Yesterday they completed 6,000 feet of both sides of the road. They are doing two lifts. They will go through and put on two inches of asphalt in two 14 foot strips making the road 28 feet wide. Then they will add an additional two inches. The last lift will be two strips 15 feet wide. The finished road will be 30 feet wide. Wednesday they had a little trouble and were only able to put down about 8,400 feet in one lane. The other lane was finished halfway and they had to quit for the day. Today my understanding is that they are out past snake rock. The way they are going they will probably be done by mid-June.
"Nielson's has a new asphalt machine and beautiful equipment. Emery County is fortunate to have Nielson's Construction in Emery County. On May 9 there will be a posting on the UDOT web site for Phase 7 of this Moore Road. About 2.5 to 3 miles from the intersection in Moore out to State Highway 10. This will be to build up the grade, move some utility poles and at the same time finish it up with asphalt. There will also be some re-alignment of a couple of bad turns. We will actually go through the town of Moore and come back in by the pump house eliminating two bad turns.
"When it gets done anyone heading to I-70 or Green River, this will be the way to go. I usually go through Price, and from Castle Dale to Green River and back is about 192 miles. Yesterday I clocked 154 miles going the other way through Moore. So it makes a difference and the road was gravel. Anyone heading to Green River or I-70 this will be the way to go.
"The Moore road construction has been going on for about eight years. Phases I and II were STIP funding through UDOT. The following phases three-seven have been earmarked federal funds. This funding was procured for the road by Rep. Jim Matheson. When you add all these up and the county share was about $4 million dollars and the federal government put in over $20 million. Think about the amount of employment that has generated in Emery County.
"Nielson's has had a hand in all the contracts save one which Brown Brothers had," said Kofford.
Commissioner Kofford said the Moore road project is running very smoothly and efficiently. "There are usually four-five trucks waiting to unload their asphalt on the road. There is a steady stream of trucks out there. Some of the coal trucks are on the haul too and they load at Consol and take their load to the rail and then go to the Nielson asphalt plant and pick up a load of asphalt and take it to the Moore Road and dump and then continue out to Consol for another round. That paver is constantly advancing and moving, it never stops. It's amazing how much road they've paved in a week," said Kofford.
"The lay down machine moves at a rate of 30 feet per minute. The asphalt is tested for compaction and a level of 93 percent is the desired density. When we first started the ashpalt then the roller being used was too heavy and it actually compacted the asphalt too much and it was cracking. But adjustments were made and the project is moving along. Core drills are taken and then taken and cooked to determine density. The inspector for the job is Nathan Johansen from Johansen and Tuttle. He has been qualified through UDOT and has attended special schools and training. The job also has to meet Bacon and Davis wage standard requirements. Another requirement is safety meetings. On a job like this training requirements are 1,000 hours. This is tough to get on a job that's moving swiftly like this one. It's all very interesting the different requirements required to build a road," said Kofford.
