2.) Refer to your layers palette and right click on your photo layer. Then choose Duplicate Layer. Name your layer (if desired) and click OK.
3.) Now activate your top photo layer (a layer is activated by simply clicking on it) and then go to Image and choose Adjustments and then Black and White (or Desaturate if there is no Black and White option).
4. Now that you have both layers, go ahead and link your layers so that they stay lined up. Just click on one photo layer and then holding down your shift key, click on the other. Then somewhere near your layers palette, there should be a little chain link icon. Click on that to link them together.
5.) Now choose your Eraser Tool as shown below (you can also hit the letter "E" on your keyboard, this will also activate your Eraser Tool).
6.) Now refer to your top menu and look for the drop down menu that says Brush. This will allow you to choose the shape and size of your eraser, as well as the hardness of the edges of your eraser. For this purpose, you will want a circle-shaped eraser, and you will want to choose a fairly small size (Master Diameter) (like around 75-100) and the hardness will need to be set at 100% (as shown below). Later, once you are ready to make your eraser larger, you can either go back up to this drop down menu and change your size, or you can use the bracket keys on your keyboard. (The " [ " will make your eraser smaller and the " ] " will make it larger.)
7.) Now making sure your black and white photo layer is active, you will simply begin erasing the area (in this case her shirt) that you want to be in color. This just erases that part off of the b/w photo and allows the color of the color photo layer to show through.
8.) Here is what my finished result of the photo will look like...
...and here is what my layers palette now looks like...
9.) Now, I have a personal preference of high-contrast black & white photos. If you are happy with the way your photo looks as is, you can simply leave it that way. If you want the high-contrast effect, here is how I did mine. Using your Blending Modes (you can see exactly how to do this in my Blending Modes Tutorial), simply duplicate your black & white photo layer and change the blending mode to screen. Then duplicate your screen layer and once. Then duplicate that screen layer and change the blending mode to Overlay (or Soft Light). Here is what your layers palette will look like:
10. Now that your picture is how you like it, you can begin building your layout. (For instructions on how to do this, you can refer to The Basics of Creating a Layout Tutorial.)
Again... here is our completed layout:
For my layout, I used:

The epic saga of Enies Lobby has finally drawn to a conclusion for both the manga and the anime. Arguably one of the best One Piece arcs thus far, it had all the right ingredients: comedy, psychological thriller, drama, adventure and hell of a lot of actions.
Were you satisfied?
If you were asked to give this arc a rating, what would be your response?
What did you like or hate about this arc?
Care to share your opinion?
As a tradition with the majority of my threads, this one is poll based as well.
My rating: 5/5
The Good: Fast pacing, rapid developing, overwhelmingly emotional, coupled with breath taking action with an ingenious blend of comedy, the entire arc left me speechless as I mouse scrolled through the chapters. Indeed, it was the greatest manga arc I ever had of the fortune of experiencing. With that said, I offer my whole hearted applause to Eiichiro Oda.
The Bad: The only detail that I found uncomfortable with is how, as it commonly occurs in all works of fiction, the straw hats escaped the supposedly inescapable without any long-term after effect or significant losses of any sort. Although the process was nothing short of journeying through the nine hells, the ending was just a little too perfect.
The Ugly: Kokoro.

Posted on 05/23/2013 2:35:59 PM PDT by marktwain
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia today dismissed a lawsuit brought by the radical anti-hunting Center for Biological Diversity and six other groups demanding the Environmental Protection Agency ban traditional ammunition containing lead components.
Traditional ammunition represents 95 percent of the U.S. market and is the staple ammunition for target shooters, hunters and law enforcement, with more than 10 billion rounds sold annually.
NSSF filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit last August. The court today agreed with NSSF that EPA does not have the authority to regulate traditional ammunition under the Toxic Substances Control Act.
EPA had already twice denied attempts by CBD to have the agency ban traditional ammunition, and the court had dismissed an earlier case brought by CBD seeking the same relief.
We are gratified that the court has found this second frivolous lawsuit, which is essentially the same as the one dismissed last year, was equally without merit, said Lawrence G. Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry. This was a waste of taxpayers' dollars and EPA resources spent in having to defend a baseless lawsuit.
CBD's serial petitioning of EPA and its repeated lawsuits were designed to cripple the shooting sports in America by banning the ammunition that millions of hunters and target shooters choose to use safely and responsibly.
"There is quite simply no sound science that shows the use of traditional ammunition has harmed wildlife populations or that it presents a health risk to humans who consume game taken with such ammunition," said Keane. "Banning traditional ammunition would cost tens of thousands of jobs in America and destroy wildlife conservation that is funded in part by an 11 percent excise tax on the sale of ammunition. The protection and management of wildlife is properly handled by the professional biologists in the state fish and game agencies, as it has been for over a hundred years.
In addition to NSSF, the National Rifle Association, Safari Club International and the Association of Battery Recyclers intervened in the case.
Organizations that joined CBD in its lawsuit were the Cascades Raptor Center of Oregon, the Loon Lake Loon Association of Washington, Preserve Our Wildlife of Florida, Tennessee Ornithological Society, Trumpeter Swan Society and Western Nebraska Resources Council.
NSSF was represented by Roger Martella and Christopher Bell from Sidley Austin.
Learn more about traditional ammunition.
About NSSF The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 8,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations and publishers.

"Losers' Pay" would be a start...
"Losers Pay would be a start..."
Sounds great until you are the looser because of a corrupt judge.
Some left wing judges simply make up the law as they go and they also like to ignore facts and will make up their own facts.
Loonie-Tunes Out
The EPA has been trying for several years to have lead-based ammunition declared as an environmental hazard so that it can be regulated by federal law. Another lame, short-sighted attempt at disarming the public. And the educated fools in that bureaucracy don't even realize that such legislation would also disarm the police and the military.
Heh. They threw away yet more debt/revenues needed by their socialist kind. Good. Have fun. Enjoy the slide toward bond collapse, repudiation, austerity measures, and finally, small government.
Shockingly forthright.
Actually, IIRC lead-based ammunition was specifically excluding from the act enabling the EPA, and EPA has, shockingly, informed tree huggers petitioning for regulation of this fact on more than one occasion.
Repeat offender?
Where do you get the idea you wouldn't have to pay the first time?
How about Obamacare?
It went all the way to the Supreme Court.
One SC judge decides to take it upon himself to basically rewrite the law so it was nice and legal.
Let me hear you argue how the SC decision proves that challenging Obamacare was without merit.
Loon Lake Loon Association. How appropriate.
Very good point. I love your user name.
Looser pays sounds great, but only if the courts work the way they are supposed to, and they don't anymore.
City and County govts are pretty much free to do anything they want, and you can't stop them.
Look at the Kelo (SP?) decision where it's OK to take your property and give it to someone else.
I had a court decision against me where the court said in part, it was my responsibility to stop the County from committing fraud and taking my property. Once they have committed fraud and taken your property you can't do anything about it.
No explanation as to how you are supposed to know the County is committing fraud before your property is seized by the court, but once it's seized by the court it's too late to do anything about it.
They would shift to alternative materials. Banning lead ammo is a narrlowly-targeted legal attack aimed at reloaders.
BTW, ChiFi's husband, Richard Blum, is a big time investor in tungsten ammo with the metal sourced from China (long thread, but worth it).
The Kelo case, albeit an abomination against the Kelo family, was correctly decided pursuant to the Tenth Amendment (and for the record, I'm such a pro-property rights guy that I think zoning law is illegitimate). To hold that the Federal government should be the sole guarantor of property rights is effectively to accede all power over property to the Federal courts.
Pursuant to Kelo, many States then passed property rights protections superior to the Constitution. The States can then duke it out in the court of Natural Law to determine the best balance between collective v. individual control of property.
"The Kelo case, albeit an abomination against the Kelo family"
It was an abomination against all property owners in the country.
All of these groups have held large protests and filed many lawsuits concerning the massive numbers of protected birds being sliced apart by windmills. /s
No, it was an abomination against all property owners in the Connecticut. Other States have property laws superior to Constitutional protections.
In case you are interested, here is an article on the background principle of selective incorporation, specifically as regards Kelo.

Looser pays applies only to civil cases and it only applies to the plaintiff filing the suit, since the plaintiff already collects damages from the defendant if the defendant looses the case.
If the defendant wants to file a counter suite against the plaintiff claiming there is no merit to the case go for it, but they are required to prove there is no merit to the case, just don't hand the defendant money because they win the case.
There are a lot of lawsuits filed where the defendant wins the case but the case had merit. One example would be where an individual files a suit against a multimillion dollar company and simply cannot match the amount of money spent on legal fees of the multimillion dollar company.
A corrupt judge can drag a case out for years swamping the person filing the suit in legal fees.
You have automatic looser pay you are opening the door to even more corruption in the courts.
You mean "property renters". Try not paying your semi-annual property rent to the REAL owners, and see what happens...
Look up the Center for Biological Diversity on the internet and you will see where their staff came from. A very incestuous network of environmental wackos with lots of foundations giving them tens of millions of dollars, perhaps hundreds of millions if you look further into each individual group (and then in the cumulative).
Here in Texas some of the democrat controlled counties have a new trick for taking someone's property to sell to someone else that wants the property.
File a suit claiming delinquent taxes are due on the property even though the taxes have been paid.
When the owner presents evidence in the form of receipts showing the taxes have been paid they will agree to dismiss the suit.
With the owner believing the suit is dismissed the county will then get a judgment against the previous owner of the property and an en rem (SP?) judgment against the property.
Since the suit against the owner is dismissed the owner is never notified of any kind of judgment.
Without knowledge of any kind of judgment the owner has no reason to file any kind of appeal of the judgment.
Since the owner hasn't appealed the judgment, the court will then seize the property.
The owner is then left with the option of paying the county the money they claim is owed, or the owner looses the property.
Anybody believe this is far fetched, they did it to me in Hardin County, TX.
From what I got out of an attorney the same thing has been happening in a number of counties.
I believe this is what was behind the attempt to take the taxing authority away from each individual school district.

Harlequins marched impressively into the Heineken Cup quarters with a comfortable 47-8 win against Connacht at the Stoop.
Harlequins marched impressively into the Heineken Cup quarter-finals with a comfortable bonus point 47-8 win against Connacht at the Stoop on Saturday.
The home side's progress into the last eight was serene in the end but the men from Galway began brightly at the Stoop and trailed by just two Nick Evans penalties to one from Matthew Jarvis after half an hour.
Quins turned up the heat towards the end of the first half though by turning down a simple shot at goal to kick for the corner and, after a driving maul was stopped just short of the line, the forwards scrummaged Connacht into submission and were duly awarded a penalty try.
And Evans made it 16-3 at the break by adding a further three points to the total with the final action of the half after another penalty was won by the pack in the scrum.
The visitors did not start the second half in as positive a fashion as the first and they found themselves with a 20-point deficit to make up two minutes in after Mike Brown set up Tom Williams to score in the corner.
And that was the cue for Connacht to collapse as both Johnny O'Connor and Fetu'u Vainikolo were sinbinned relatively harshly within the space of two minutes and that left acres of space for Brown to provide Williams with his second try and Quins' third.
The Irishmen were briefly down to 12 men after Ethienne Reynecke and Joe Marler were given yellow cards for exchanging blows off the ball but O'Connor grabbed a consolation try for them just minutes after returning to the fray.
That is all it was though as the hosts sealed a bonus point with quarter of an hour left on the clock, Ugo Monye raising the biggest cheer of the afternoon with a great solo effort to score on his 200th appearance for the club.
Replacements George Lowe and Ben Botica added the fifth and sixth tries late on to take the score past 40 points and add some extra gloss to a comprehensive win that takes the Premiership champions into the quarter finals and few will fancy facing them.
The scorers:
For Harlequins:
Tries: Penalty, Williams 2, Monye, Lowe, Botica
Cons: Evans 2, Botica 2
Pens: Evans 3
Yellow card: Marler
For Connacht:
Try: O'Connor
Pen: Jarvis
Yellow cards: Vainikolo; O'Connor; Reynecke
Harlequins: 15 Mike Brown, 14 Tom Williams, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Tom Casson, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 8 Nick Easter, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 5 George Robson, 4 Olly Kohn, 3 James Johnston, 2 Joe Gray, 1 Joe Marler.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Mark Lambert, 18 Will Collier, 19 Charlie Matthews, 20 Tom Guest, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Ben Botica, 23 George Lowe.
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Tiernan O'Halloran, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Matthew Jarvis, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 Eoin McKeon, 7 Johnny O'Connor, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Nathan White (capt), 2 Jason Harris-Wright, 1 Denis Buckley.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 17 Brett Wilkinson, 18 Ronan Loughney, 19 Mick Kearney, 20 Eoghan Grace, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Miah Nikora, 23 James Loxton.

Carole Larsen
Candidate for Orangeville Council
I was born in Salt Lake City, but I have lived in Orangeville longer, so I now consider myself homegrown. I am married to Gordon Larsen from Ferron. When we moved to Orangeville 31 years ago, I felt like I was coming home. We have raised four children here and are now the proud grandparents of five girls and one boy.
I have been the Orangeville Public Librarian for 27 years which has given me the opportunity to meet many of the great people of Orangeville. I started when the library was in the basement of the old school house, utilizing only one room, and was involved in moving into the new building that is the library today. I have made many friends through my work, not only with the patrons but also with my coworkers and have had good working relationships with them.
I have seen many improvements during the time that I have lived in Orangeville, that can be attributed to the past and present city leaders and workers. If I am elected, I would continue with the vision of making Orangeville the best place to live and raise a family. To do this we all need to be involved in community decisions. But in order to do this, we must work together, we can't work against each other. I would like to be involved in bringing Orangeville into the future but maintaining the small town atmosphere that we enjoy.
James Davis
I've felt like Orangeville has been a part of me for most of my life. I've had the privilege to visit family here for most of it. I moved here more than seven years ago under not the best of circumstances. I found myself a single parent and realized that it would be extremely difficult for my children to raise me alone, so we moved here to be close to family.
Everything happens for a reason it seems to me, and since moving to Orangeville I have learned the value of having family within walking distance of home. I have found new friends and neighbors and a community I believe very strongly in. Most importantly, I have found the love of my life in Orangeville. I now have three more children and am a grandfather twice over, all after three years of marriage.
In short, I have been very blessed in my life and I can trace most of those blessings to the fact that I am lucky enough to be a resident of Orangeville. I think I would be ungrateful indeed and set a horrible example for my children if I did not attempt to give something back for the blessings I have received. That's why I chose to become a candidate for City Council, and no other reason. If I can help this community I will, in any way that I can.
If elected to City Council I will roll up my sleeves and get to work building on the great things Orangeville city leaders have already done. I believe that I can be of help to this community and will do my best to give that help. If I am elected to City Council I will do my best to represent the interests of not only those who vote for me, but for those who chose not to vote for me. If I am not elected to City Council, then I will still be here, willing and ready to help in any way that I can. I have been fortunate to have parents who have taught me the value of work and I will work for this community in whatever capacity I am able. If elected, I will represent the citizens to the best of my ability. If not, then my back is still reasonably strong and I own a shovel and know how to start it. What needs to be done?
Jackie Wilson
Candidate for Huntington Mayor
Hi, my name, for those of you who don't know me, is Jackie Wilson. I was born Oct. 24, 1950 and I've lived in Huntington all my life.
As a young girl I spent many hours on the mountains and in the desert herding cows. I loved horses and rode in many riding clubs. I graduated in 1969 from Emery High School., where I received many honors and was a member of the drill team.
In September 1969, I married Boyd Wilson and we are still happily married and just celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. In our early years, I managed "Walt's" for several years. Then we started our family, Cody, now 32, Cacey, 30, and Cheyanne, who is 27. As my children got older I started working at Huntington Elementary, where I am now putting in my 24th year.
I am proud to say I have three sons, Cody, Cacey and Matt, three daughters, Cheyann, Kenna and Lindsay, the mothers of our six beautiful grandchildren, Brookelynn, Bradin, Kylee, Hunter, Payton and Daxton, the loves of my life who I spend as much time with as I can.
Through the years, I've been a member of the Huntington City Council prior to being elected Mayor where my duties included parks and beautification, cemetery and rodeo ground improvements and I also served as chairperson over Heritage Days. I now sit on the Castle Valley Special Service District board and the Emery County Boundary Commission.
I am very concerned about the citizens of our town and the future of our city.
Thank you so much for the support you have given me and I ask for your continued support. Re-elect me as your Mayor for the next four years.
Bob Mills
Candidate for Huntington Council
My name is Bob Mills. I am running for four year city council member. I have been on Huntington City council for two years.
I am a native of Huntington, and I have been both employer and employee. I have experienced the needs of both sides.
I believe we should preserve Huntington as a rural community and lifestyle. We need to upgrade our services to meet modern day needs and protect the safety of our community.
Thank you for your vote on Nov. 8.
Jeff Tuttle
Candidate for Orangeville Mayor
Hello, I'd like to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts and tell you about myself. I have lived in Orangeville since 1981, I met my wife here and we have raised four children here in this city. I started working in the coal mines and for the last 20 years I have been employed by Johansen and Tuttle Engineering.
I have been a member of the Emery County Search and Rescue for 22 years. I am serving in my second term as city councilman with my responsibilities being over the city roads, and the water and sewer departments.
I think Orangeville is a great place to live, I have seen many improvements in our city to our parks, curb/gutter, sidewalks, water, sewer, drainage and street projects that have benefited our community. I will continue this effort. I can remember the days when if you went too fast on some of our roads you might knock out your front teeth from a chuck hole or get stuck in the road after a storm.
I think we have a lot of great people who live in Orangeville. I also think we can work on some things here in Orangeville to make it an even better place to live for us and our children. I will do what is in the best interest for Orangeville City.
Please support me on Nov. 8, to keep this the best place to live.
Joe Trenery
Candidate for Ferron Council
I was born in California. I married Daria Anderson in 1967 and we moved to Ferron in 1968. We have two sons, Matt and Marc, and five grandchildren. Following the move to Ferron, I worked with the United States Forest Service for four years.
I started working in the coal mines, and I worked at the Wilberg, Cottonwood and Trail Mountain mines. I was the maintenance foreman and underground construction foreman for 27 years.
I started Trenery Tractor Service and I put in sprinkler lines on farms.
I have worked on the Peach Days celebrations for 15 years.
I've been on the Ferron City Council and the planning and zoning commission for two years. Along with the planning and zoning, I take care of the fairgrounds, city equipment and buildings, and Peach Days.
Cathy Cowley
Cathy Cowley married Paul Cowley 34 years ago and made Huntington their home. Cathy has, in the last three decades, filled her life with service beginning with the PTA while her sons were in school. She was a Cub Scout leader on both the local and district levels for 10 years.
She has many years of church service in leadership capacity. These last four years she has been on the Huntington Beautification Committee and has worked hard with the others on that committee to make Main Street beautiful. She cares about Huntington and the people who live there.
Mike Hurdsman
Candidate for Huntington Council
Mike Hurdsman and his wife Judy have made Huntington their home for themselves and six children for the past 32 years. Mike moved his family here when Utah Power and Light offered him an electrical apprenticeship during the construction of the first unit at the Huntington Power Plant. Mike worked at the plant in Union as well as management positions until he took an early retirement to start his own business.
He enjoys farming and working with the livestock. Hunting, fishing, rock hounding, genealogy, and archeology are among his favorite pastimes. He has been active in and supports many organizations, which include Utah State Archeology Society, Utah Bowmen Association, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Utah Mule Deer Foundation, and has been serving as the Chairman of Emery County Chamber of Commerce for the past two years. He has been involved in Boy Scouts of America for more than 25 years serving as varsity leader, assistant scoutmaster, unit chairman, and district positions. He has served in his church in several leadership positions as well as working with the youth in his ward. His wife and family are the love of his life.
Mike has served as state representative to the Republican convention from his precinct for the past two terms. He believes that government has too much intervention in our day to day lives and we are over regulated. He believes in individual owners property rights and that the natural resources of this great nation are the right of the people to use and develop for the needs of all. Our water, timber, coal, gypsum, sand and gravel, land and other resources are the wealth of this land and should belong to our people not the government. He believes that God creates these things for the use of man and we should and must be wise stewards over these things. He knows that our way of life here in this area is unique, but realizes that we must have growth to be able to keep what we have. Fewer people cannot keep paying more and more for constant rising costs in all the services we have come to enjoy.
Marc K. Stilson
Candidate for Orangeville Council
Marc Stilson grew up in Orangeville, served a LDS mission to Louisiana and graduated with a degree in civil engineering from Brigham Young University. For the past 11 years Marc has worked on various engineering projects throughout the state, including more than 30 dam projects. During this time he also spent two years in St. George working as project manager for the construction of Sand Hollow Dam. In February 2002 Marc moved back to Orangeville and opened a branch office of RB&G Engineering. He currently serves as Chairman of Emery County Economic Development Council which recently organized and hosted the 2005 Castle Valley Economic Summit. Marc and his wife Korinda have two girls and three boys and are expecting another new baby boy in November. He enjoys sports, the outdoors, and spending time with his family.
The most likely natural disasters that may impact Orangeville are earthquakes and floods. If elected, Marc's top priority will be to evaluate the preparedness of the city in dealing with these two potential disasters. He will focus his efforts on evaluating the flood plain that runs through town to determine if additional measures need to be taken to protect structures and lives within the community. Information, planning and disaster drills will also be considered to prepare for a major event such as a dam failure or major earthquake. He would also like to pursue the idea of organizing a city sponsored disaster relief team in case of a local event but also to be dispatched to render aid in case of a disaster in nearby communities or along the Wasatch Front.
Marc would like Orangeville to take a proactive approach to supporting our local businesses and our local elementary school. He would like to look for new ideas on how the community can support and add value to our local elementary school and find innovative ways of improving our local economy. He supports the city's parks and trails improvements and would like to continue work on these items by providing additional recreation and physical fitness opportunities for both youth and adults. Marc believes in community involvement and neighborhood unity. He would like Orangeville to support events that bring people together for recreation and service.

Rod Toomer has lived in Ferron for more than 20 years. He is married and has two little boys. He is currently working as a lab technician at the Hunter Power Plant in Castle Dale. He has been on the planning and zoning committee for Ferron City for two years.

Jo Sansevero
Candidate for Ferron Council
Jo Sansevero was born and raised in Emery (ValJo Hess); she attended South Emery Junior High School in Ferron and later Emery High. Jo finished high school in California and went to college in Memphis, Tenn. In 1976 Jo went to work in the electrical connector industry in Southern California. In 1983 she started her own connector business J-TECH, manufacturing electrical connectors for military and heavy industry applications. For the next 16 years she was very involved as a small business owner. In 1999 Jo sold her interest in the connector business and she and Lou returned to Emery County buying a home in Ferron.
Since Jo returned to Emery County and settled in Ferron she has become very involved in the community, civic and church activities. Jo has twice been appointed to the Ferron City Council, and looks forward to being elected to four more years of service to Ferron City and its citizens. During this four year term Ferron has built a new fire house, expanded the usage of the lower park which has resulted in increased revenues to the city, and made several additions to the Mayors Park this year which included; new picnic tables, new benches new lighting for the pavilion and 10 new trees planted which will provide ample shade in future years. After four years and a succession of proprietors Jo has reestablished the Millsite Restaurant as a positive revenue source for Ferron City. Jo, together with Gil Bowden and Mark H. Williams, was instrumental in starting up the Arapeen Trail ATV Jamboree. Jo drafted the city's ATV Ordinance to allow for and regulate ATV traffic on city streets and continues to work to further the Jamboree and its economic revenues to the city.
On a county level Jo has been involved in the Emery County Economic Development Council. This past year Jo has served as the vice chairperson of the council. She was instrumental in the establishment of the Emery and Carbon County Economic Summit and has served as its chairperson for the two years of its existence. The Summit is an opportunity for regional businesses and local entrepreneurs to meet and share ideas as well as learn techniques for expansion. It affords both businesses and the community an opportunity to grow. The Summit has just finished its second annual session and was voted a major success by the 160 people from all over the region who attended.
Jo has a leadership position in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, both the Ferron Old Mill Camp where she is finishing her second term as registrar and the county where she is the chairman of the fund raising committee. During her time with the DUP, Jo designed and procured and distributed the Ferron Afghan and more recently she was very involved in the compilation and distribution of the Ferron City history book, "A Peach of a Place." These two fund raisers have resulted in a very positive revenue picture for the Old Mill Camp.
Jo is also very active in her church activities and enjoys being a member of the American Legion Auxiliary.
Jo is the mother of two children Nikkole of South Jordan, and Vito of Laguna Hills, Calif., and four grandchildren all of South Jordan.
Carey Bloomer
Candidate for Clawson Mayor
I'm Carey Bloomer the current mayor of Clawson. I am seeking re-election and would appreciate the support of Clawson residents to serve again, and to complete projects the town council and I have begun.
Clawson is a great little town and I am grateful to live among the people here. I work with a dedicated town council who show by their many hours of service to our town that they care about our people.
Clawson has had a lot of growth the past few years. We need to grow, but with a general plan-so we can have some control of the growth. I would like to see more home based businesses in Clawson. The speed limit on Highway 10 needs to be lowered to ensure the safety of everyone. We all need to clean up our property. There are a few old houses that need to be demolished. We have too many junk vehicles littering our town.
I appreciate our county commissioners and the special service district for all the help they have given Clawson.
Gerry Hatch
Candidate for Clawson Councilman
Hi, my name is Gerry Hatch and I am running for a second term as councilman for Clawson City. I am married to Betty Hatch, director of the senior center in Castle Dale. I have nine children and 24 grandchildren. They really keep us running, but are the joy of our lives.
I've lived in Clawson for more than 20 years and have enjoyed watching it grow and develop into a pleasant town to live in. We have a new Town Hall, secondary water, are getting paved roads and a sewer system. I want to see Clawson continue to improve and become even a nicer place to live and raise kids.
There is still a lot to do and I hope that I will be allowed to help make more improvements to our town. We need our towns to be havens for not only our families, but everyone who lives in our borders. Working together for the betterment of each community is the way to achieve that goal.

Ed Rasbold
I have been a resident of Castle Dale since 1999. Being a native of New York has enabled me to appreciate the comforts of living in Castle Dale. I care about the future of Castle Dale and look forward to serving the citizens.
I am married and have four children. My wife is a native of the area and I thank her for the opportunity to settle here.
I am running for the office of city council because I have a strong desire to serve my community city. I believe that I have the ability to make some positive contributions to Castle Dale City.
My determination to see this community to continue to thrive is evident through my public service volunteer work. Some of which included numerous hours of serving on the volunteer fire department, and as an EMT when needed for community events. I have assisted in coaching several youth teams over the past years, and enjoy watching the community as they come together to support the youth.
I want to thank those that have supported me throughout this campaign.
Dan Whiteleather
Hi, my name is Dan Whiteleather. I am currently a Castle Dale City council member and have been for the past 16 years. Parks and recreation management have been my area of responsibility.
Some of my major projects include the resurfacing of all park and rodeo grounds, and building of the new rodeo grandstand, concession stand and city shop. I have also been a member of the Emery County Recreation Board since its inception.
I feel I am a fair and open minded person and would like to ask for your support for four more years as a Castle Dale City Council person.
Thank you.
Jerry Price
My name is Jerry Price and Clawson has been my home for the most part of 27 years. I am hoping to be re-elected as a councilman for the town of Clawson. My wife Trinidi and I, with our three daughters, Jeridi, Taijah and Taleigh, have lived in Clawson for the last three years.
In the past two years as councilman, I have organized the town picnics and have been in charge of the town's roads and signs. The last year I was able to secure a grant from the Emery County Recreation Board to build a softball field on ground donated to Clawson Town by Emery County. With the help of Castle Dale City, Joel Dorsch, Mayor Carey Bloomer, Clay Gasser, David and Tyson Hinkins, Parke Killpack, Dean Allen, Mike Jensen, Gary Price, and Nielson Construction, the ground work is nearing completion.
If re-elected I will continue to serve the people of Clawson and would like the opportunity to finish our softball field and have it playable for the 2006 season, I would appreciate your vote in the upcoming election on Nov. 8.
Glen Dale Johnson
Candidate for Green River Mayor
I am Glen Dale Johnson candidate for Mayor of Green River City. I moved to Green River in 1954, and graduated from G.R High in 1955 where I was senior class president. I married my high school sweetheart Darline Curtis and we were blessed with nine children, with one deceased and buried in the Elgin Cemetery.
Like others that chose to live in Green River, I worked at many jobs to just keep necessities for my family. In 1976 we decided as many have, that if we were going to be able to retire with any means of security I needed to go elsewhere for employment and I ended up at Utah Power and Light coal mines as supervisor over conveyor operation and maintenance. I became a very respected, responsible supervisor of men and gained much experience in budget, ordering, safety and emergency preparedness. I retired in 1995.
If reelected I will devote my time, my experience, my reputation, and contacts to help get good paying employment in Green River and hopefully you and yours will not have to leave Green River to get a good job. After all these years I still love Green River.

All my children have been active members of the Castle Dale City Youth Council.
I was appointed to the Castle Dale Council as the Youth City Council advisor in 2000, and continue in that position. In this position, I have worked closely with the Castle Dale City Council. I have helped plan and organize city activities such as the Easter egg hunt, summer barbecue and rodeo, pumpkin festival and the Christmas party. In 2002, I assumed the position of Emery County Youth Leadership Council chairperson.

I will be proactive in working with citizens and city council members in the beautification of Castle Dale City. I would like to advance city unity through city celebrations and city events. Castle Dale City has a wonderful infrastructure of parks and facilities and I would work hard to maintain our beautiful city. I work with senior citizens activities at the county fair and would like to see senior citizen programs expanded in Castle Dale.
Most of you who know me have seen me for the last 10 years volunteering and assisting with special events held in Castle Dale City.

Ed Bentley
Citizens of Green River-I am honored by the show of support I have received from you thus far. It is not over yet. I wish to let you know more about myself. I was born and raised in rural Michigan. Michigan is obviously much colder and more humid there than here in the desert of the American Southwest, but it is not much different than Green River. I lived in an area very much dependent on mining and tourism. Like Green River the economy was drastically affected when they lost the mines and the local military base. Unfortunately they did not capitalize on the situation and sunk into economic and social depression. To this day the economy continues to suffer and more and more people are leaving to seek livelihoods elsewhere in the big cities. This is a fate that I do not want to see happen to Green River. We have so much potential.
I have spoken with many of you. Many of you still have a dream for your families and our town. Some of you have been able to break free and have started to prosper. You are leading the way and paving a trail for others to follow It is time for our city to break free and to go onwards and upwards. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from Brigham Young University. I then entered the academy to become a sworn police officer and was then hired by the Utah Highway Patrol. Green River is my first assignment.
I have enjoyed living and working here among you. My wife and I were impressed with the community and felt comfortable buying a home here to raise our family. Our children feel safe here. (Safe enough even to wander around from time to time!) I am the oldest of five children. My wife is the oldest daughter of eight children. As the son of an Army serviceman I have lived all around the country. I have also had the opportunity to live in Venezuela. While living in Venezuela I was able to see what it was like to live where people do not have the freedoms that we have. I have also lived in parts of our country where the citizens have not exercised the freedoms that they have. This community has great potential.
We have done great things, but we are capable of so much more. I see the future of Green River as bright. I see a Green River with a strong foundation of industry. Small business owners will bring more families to our community and help keep our children here. I see a Green River bursting with pride, but working with its neighbors as the true heart of Castle Country. We are not only the geographical center of Castle Country, but we are the social center as well. It is time that we let everyone in the world know this! We already have a tourism base, let's strengthen it. We have been blessed with so many wonderful sights we need only to promote them.
Contrary to what we have been told this is not expensive. It does require some effort and hard work though. We have a rich heritage and history. People from around the world are interested in us and our area. We need only to introduce them. By cooperating with our neighbors we help ourselves too. There are things we need to do to strengthen our community.
Finally I wish to bring honesty, openness, and a cooperative spirit to the office of Mayor. As mayor I work for you, not the other way around! I will be your representative to the City Council, Emery County, our neighboring counties, and the State of Utah.
Mark Justice
Candidate for Huntington Mayor
I am grateful to the Emery County Progress for their interest in local government and their willingness to print this article.
If elected Mayor of Huntington, I pledge to its citizens that my first priority would be to put emphasis on basic services such as the fire department, clean-up, weeds, animal control, cemetery, rodeo grounds, parks and beautification. My administration would be positive and helpful. Secondly, I support policies, procedures and tax rates that encouraged and promote economic growth. We need to do a better job of supporting and helping our local businesses. Thirdly, Huntington City must be committed more than it is to community development and beautification. We can achieve our goals if we work together and cooperate.
Many people have expressed to me that it is time for a change in Huntington.
We have opportunity to do good, positive improvements in our community.
If we unite and work together we can achieve that progress.
I ask for your support
Thank you.
Elroy Mortensen
Candidate for Elmo Council
I am running for council because I feel it is important that we continue to work for improvements in our town, namely curb and gutter, and the firestation. Our town is growing and we need to keep up with the growth.
I have previously worked on the economic development board and the recreation board,. I hope to be able to serve the people in our community.
Kirt Rasmussen
Candidate for Elmo Mayor
I'm Kirt Rasmussen and I am running for Elmo Town Mayor. I was raised in Emery County. Seven years ago my wife and I chose to live in Elmo because it is a quiet and peaceful place to raise our family. I hope to help continue working to make our town a place we can be proud of. I appreciate the good hard working people who live in Elmo and look forward to working with them in the future.
Mike Williams
Candidate for Emery Mayor
After working 27 years for the Food and Drug Administration, I retired to Emery 10 years ago. My roots reach deep in this town, as do so many of our citizens. My two children and three grandchildren live close by up north. I have served Emery for the past eight years, and it is my privilege to again be running for mayor.
We've completed many projects, without giving up our "small town feeling." Some of our accomplishments include these grants: purchasing the Jaws of Life for our fire department; two grants for our playground; remodeling of the post office; two grants to protect and remodel our old church; three "catch basins" at the foot of the mountain to protect our town from future flooding; and significant CVSSD grant for piping, curbs and gutters.
Other progress noted in the past few years: worked closely with county commissioners to acquire, and double the size of, new senior center; sidewalk at senior center; fence around the cemetery; purchase of new snow plow/dump truck; fire department insurance rating increase, resulting in lower homeowners' premium rates; new riding lawn mower for maintenance of town; enlarged Emery Park pavilion and sound-system installed; computerized the Town Office functions; acquired new accounting system, thereby saving the town thousands of dollars; our reserve funds have tripled in the past eight years, due to conservative spending, even though we continue to make improvements in our town.
Our Youth Town Council is active and ongoing - we strongly support them.
I am associated with many worthwhile organizations, among them serving on the Board of Directors of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. Other positions I've held and serve as are Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center; Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Four Corners Community Behavioral Health; Vice President/President of the Emery County Historical Society, Board of Directors of Emery County Chamber of Commerce, and President of the Emery County Community Foundation.
New projects are in the works for Emery. A much-needed recreation center is being planned. Many activities can be "kept right at home" when we have our center. A committee is being formed to plan for Homeland Security for Emery - a plan to be self-sufficient until aid can reach us in the event of a disaster.
Serving Emery for the next four years will be an honor.

Oh, the excitement! It's just two weeks until the 2013 version of what has been a beloved Sanibel musical tradition for 25 years – the Sanibel Music Festival.
The first performance in the 26th annual Sanibel Music Festival takes place on Saturday March 2 at the Sanibel Congregational Church. Trio Cavatina, formed by three talented women musicians – Violinist Harumi Rhodes, Cellist Priscilla Lee and pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute – will perform Beethoven's Piano Trio Op. 1 No. 1 in E-Flat Major, Faure's Piano Trio in D-Minor Op. 120 and Ravel's Piano Trio in A-minor. The performance will begin at 8:00pm.
We look forward to this and the remainder of the season's schedule. As many of our annual guests at the West Wind Inn say, "Save March for Music." How about you?

I don
- 1 whole duck -
- 1 Cortland or granny smith apple, peeled -
- 1 orange, peeled -
- kosher salt and black pepper, for sprinkling -
- 1 clove garlic, crushed -
- 2 Tbsp apricot jam -
- 1 cup orange juice -
- 1/2 cup apple juice -
- 1 cup sweet white or pink wine* -
- Cherry Sauce -
- 1 15-oz can sour cherries -
- 1/2 cup orange juice -
- 1/3 cup apricot jam -
- 2 Tbsp potato starch, dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water -
- 1/4 cup sugar -
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice -
- 2 Tbsp fruit liquor -
- *use Bartenura Moscato or Malvasia as sweet white/rose wine. -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash the duck and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a 9x13-inch roasting pan and place the apple and orange into the cavity. Sprinkle skin with kosher salt and pepper and rub with the garlic all over. Smear jam over skin. Cover well and bake for 1 hour.
Remove pan from oven and pour out all the liquid. Add orange juice, apple juice, and wine. Cover well. Lower oven temperature to 325° and bake for 1½ hours more. Uncover and cook for 20 more minutes. Before serving, pour warm cherry sauce over duck.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until thickened. You may want to break the cherries up while stirring.
Herzog Wine Pairing:
Enjoy this recipe with Baron Herzog Zinfandel - this ripe & fruity wine won't taste bitter with all the sweetness in the duck's sauce and will hold up to the rich & bold flavors of the duck.

So, we're back?
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
Going to the hospital this afternoon.....
Merry Christmas to all...
My eyes... It's only eyestrain, nothing worse, but i've been told I need to limit my screen time, so if you don't see me around so often, that is why.
Thanks, but I've had a lifetime of coping with being VI. I see some totally blind people with guide dogs and I realise how fortunate I am to see at least something.
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
My scroll down column and scroll over have been blinking for about a week. Never said anything because I thought itr was just my old computer!
Tink and Mole - thinking of you both!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Ordered 1/2 size up but still felt narrow
"Based on the reviews I read, I ordered 7.5 even though my usual size is 7. The length fit fine and they looked very nice but they were still narrow to me. I wished these came in wide width. I had to return them."

Buy a 1/2 size up
"These shoes are gorgeous. I read the reviews and purchased a 1/2 size up...I typically wear a 7.5 and I bought an 8. I own other BCBG shoes and it's best to just buy a 1/2 size up, especially with the pointy-toed shoes because they do run short. I didn't experience any discomfort or any rubbing, but I was wearing tights. It might be different without them. Either way, I would recommend."

Very cute and stylish but, not comfy
"When these shoes arrived, I was very pleased with how they looked. Very stylish and not cheap looking at all. However, I wore them to work 2 days and my feet were hurting near where the top part of the shoes rubs against the top of my foot. It was too tight and I had to take them back."

CHICAGO — Dale Earnhardt Jr. thinks NASCAR fans are smarter than race teams give them credit for.
NASCAR's most popular driver said it was "impressive" how easily fans and media were able to figure out what teams like Michael Waltrip Racing — and possibly Front Row Motorsports — were doing to manipulate Saturday night's Richmond race.
MWR was fined $300,000 and and each of its three drivers were penalized 50 points after NASCAR said it fixed the outcome of the final regular season race, which sets NASCAR's playoff field.
NASCAR: Issues historic penalties to MWR
Officials are also looking into suspicious radio chatter from Front Row's David Gilliland, in which he was told to give up a spot to Penske Racing's Joey Logano.
MORE FALLOUT: NASCAR investigating Logano, Gilliland
"I think those spotters and crew chiefs and some drivers don't realize in the heat of the moment how accessible all this information is," Earnhardt said Thursday during Chase Media Day in Chicago. "No matter how much you think you can camouflage this — (all) smoke and mirrors — the media or fans can connect the dots."
Earnhardt, a self-described "NASCAR fan boy," said he was sad to see the sport's image take a hit and talked at length about the fallout from Richmond.
MWR "actually got off pretty easy," he said, especially Clint Bowyer, whose spin triggered a controversial series of events.
Earnhardt said he read about the penalties and thought, "What the hell?" when he realized Bowyer's points deduction did not affect his Chase standing. The 50-point penalty was only applied to Bowyer's points total before it was reset for the playoffs.
"I need to sit down and really think of why (NASCAR) chose to do it that way and see the logic behind it," Earnhardt said.
PHOTOS: The career of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Still, he said, at least some message was sent.
"If you do it again, I think you're asking for it," he added.
COLUMN: NASCAR punishment won't fix the problem
Earnhardt said he not only felt bad for NASCAR officials having to make a tough decision, but felt for friend Martin Truex Jr., who was bumped from the Chase as a result of the penalties, and teammate Jeff Gordon, who missed the Chase after Bowyer spun.
Earnhardt even felt sympathy for Bowyer, he said, because "I know what kind of person he is."
"I feel bad for him because he is part of something that is not a good reflection of his personality," he said.
BOWYER: Craving drink after awkward interviews
Past incidents — like when Paul Menard spun at Richmond and Bowyer spun at Bristol last season — led Earnhardt to believe NASCAR would not act this time. He was surprised at the major reaction both inside and outside the sport.
"It's not new," he said. "It's not like, 'Oh my God, what's happening to the sport? The sky is falling.' I didn't think it was that big a deal because it's been done before."
Like other drivers, Earnhardt called for NASCAR to step up its officiating in situations like Richmond. Even though NASCAR officials have said they want to leave rules in the drivers' hands — such as when drivers control the restarts — Earnhardt said the concept is "probably not very smart."
"We're going to try to work in that gray area," he said. "NASCAR's job is to patch those gray areas up and make them black and white, and we'll find the next gray area. We'll keep doing it and doing it, and that's the way it's going to go."

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Ferron City Council members opened the Oct. 2 meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. in the Ferron City Hall. Those present were Mayor Kent Larsen, Councilmembers Bryan Erikson, Jo Sansevero, and Laurie Pitchforth, City Treasurer Adele Justice, and City Recorder Brenda Bingham. The council's first item was to approve the agenda for the meeting and then read and corrected the minutes of the Sept. 4 meeting afterwhich the minutes were approved and accepted.
A city zoning clearance approval was the next agenda item to be discussed. A Ferron citizen requested the zoning clearance for a wood shop at 40 East 200 North. As there were no business licenses to approve, the above items were voted on and passed unanimously.
Item four was the donation to the Ferron Soccer League. John Doria requested a donation, the same as in previous years, of $100. The Council asked the number of children involved and Doria stated that about 70 had signed up. The request was moved and seconded and passed unanimously.
Next on the agenda was the Peach Days Review. Mayor Larsen asked Councilmember Pitchforth to have all the leaders of the different aspects of the Peach Days celebration to prepare a report and comments of this year's event. Larsen requested Pitchforth to also set up a meeting for all concerned to discuss what improvements could be made for next years celebration. Pitchforth said she would arrange the meeting and expressed her thanks to the Fire Dept. and EMS and stated that she felt the Peach Days was a great success even with the rain.
The next item to be discussed was presented by Councilmember Erikson. He stated that he had been to a meeting of the League of Cities and Towns and was presenting their recommendation that the Annexation policy of the city be reviewed. An Annexation plan for Ferron City needs to be in place by Dec. 31 as per the League's recommendation.
This discussion brought up the next agenda item, which was presentations by each of the council members who had been to this same League of Cities and Towns to report on their findings. Mayor Larsen was first to report, he explained that the League of Cities and Towns had recommended that all cities and towns standardize their forms. All city leaders need to review the policies and forms from other towns and come up with a format that is standardized. This recommedation needs to be addressed immediately as no personnel adjustments can be made before this is in place.
The council then ratified, moved, seconded, and approved the hire of a new on-call person in City Hall. This person was hired before the recommendation came from the League of Cities and Towns.
Councilmember Sansevero reported that the workshops she had attended were water related and she had learned a lot about how to deal with the problems that can arise with water. She then thanked the council for the opportunity she had to go to this conference.
Councilmember Pitchforth also expressed that it had been a good opportunity and experience to attend the conference. She stated that the workshops she had attended were very informative.
Next to report was City Treasurer Adele Justice. Justice stated that the workshop about Emergency Preparedness for the city was extremely interesting. She also attended a workshop about water hook-ups and disconnections.
Ferron City Recorder, Brenda Bingham was next to report. Bingham had attended a workshop about business licenses and it was very informative as to outlining a city's responsibility when issuing licenses.
Mayor Larsen reported that the city needs to establish written policy for public hearings and agenda items. Rules of conduct also need to be addressed in this policy. Larsen stated that in the past, some items have been scheduled for the council to address that really do not need council approval and can be dealt with in the city office. Larsen also stated that he intended to write a letter to the League of Cities and Towns expressing his opinion that for the next conference, rural issues needed to be better addressed.
Item 11 on the agenda was the August budget. The budget was reviewed and adjustments were made to areas that needed attention.
Council members began their reports. Pitchforth expressed her concern over the condition of the fairgrounds. After checking the budget, Larsen suggested making routine maintenance a priority at the fairgrounds. Pitchforth suggested looking at the parking arrangements at the fairgrounds to see what modifications could be made to better accomodate the visitors. Larsen then suggested the need to cleanup the pavilion area. Pitchforth requested that the cleanup person for the Peach Days be better compensated because of the rain and the mud.
Erikson began his report with a discussion of the "No Dumping" signs at the fairgrounds. The dumpsters are being used for large items such as appliances, old furniture and hazardous waste materials. Mayor Larsen said the dumpsters were installed to better accomodate the citizens of Ferron, so they would not have to make the trip to the county dump site or use those of the businesses, but this is being abused and large items are being dumped on the grounds. Erikson scheduled a meeting for the planning and zoning committee to discuss animals and agriculture items.
Councilmember Sansevero discussed conditions at the cemeteries and the water use there. Also, discussed was the ATV Jamboree that is being considered to be held in Ferron. She stated that the ATV riders could potentially spend a lot of money in the county, not only in Ferron. She reported that a meeting with the club is scheduled for Oct. 10 to discuss the city's concerns.
Mayor Larsen explained that one consideration for the jamboree would be the designation of roads in and out of Ferron for the ATVs to use to access the mountain trails. Comments were heard from the audience concerning the potential problems with this designation. Larsen then asked to clarify the time frame of the jamboree and stated that it is absolutely necessary to have enough time to allow the public to have input into this decision.
Larsen then announced the Ferron Youth City Council "Meet the Candidate" night and encouraged the public to attend. He alerted Sansevero of some headstone damage at the cemetery that needs to be addressed. Larsen alerted the council to possible concerns in upcoming meetings and to do the research necessary to make the decisions. Also, ordinace #8-1-3 will be on the agenda for the next meeting, so have discussion questions prepared. Larsen reviewed the dates of December meetings so all could prepare in advance as December is a very busy month.
When asked if there were any questions from the audience, the fire department representative requested permission to use an abandoned house in town for training of the fire fighters. Larsen replied that some investigation would need to be done first. Fireworks for next year's Peach Days were discussed and the decision was made to raise the budget for that display for next year.
The council adjourned into executive session at 8:50 p.m. The next meeting is Nov. 6 at 7 p.m.

text: The BEST look of this week has to go to Solange for the outfit she wore to DJ at Splendid's Soho store opening. It was simply fabulous and to top it off- I can totally see SkinnyHipster, A.k.a Me, in that outfit ;). The sexy Maki Oh skirt was featured on the Arise Fashion Week runway. I adore everything about this skirt- from its high slit to the sexy lace accent. I love how she didn't go over do things and kept it simple with a white tee & accessorized with a statement necklace and clutch. Lastly, she has on MY shoes- Christian Louboutin Bis un Bout heels that were featured on last week's post.

And as soon as the live show started, Ragheb Alama sang the happy birthday song for Ahlam, and the audience had his part of cheering the famous star as well.
Ahlam thanked her husband Moubarak for joining them on this day, and saluted everyone for the wishes and said eventually: "I am not happy because am a year older, but I am happy because I am with you all".

"These shoes are great! Loved the first pair I bought in tan - had to have another pair - so bought the "poppy red" - which is more "burnt orange" than a true red. They are sooooooooo comfortable you won't know they're on your feet. I'm on my feet walking around quite a bit on carpet. The true test is walking around outside on hard pavement - which I did today for over an hour. They passed the comfort test. Wish they came in more colors."
