Skip to comments.Whittington Back in ICU (FNC Reporting Minor Heart Attack)
Posted on 02/14/2006 10:09:50 AM PST by be-baw
I just heard from a local radio reporter (during Rush newsbreak at approximately 1:00 p.m) that Whittington "may have taken a turn for the worse," and was put back into intensive care.
They will be vultures on a death watch for this man. They are evil.
Reporters asking WHY White House doctors are being consulted on this case....sheesh.
good news. Docs waiting for scar tissue to form.
Why is the WH involved!
JMJ --- WH doctors were on site and helped treat him originally.
I hate our press.
I agree. The press is going to go crazy with this. They will accuse the VP's office and the hospital of a cover-up, even more so than they already have.
How many birdshots are lodged in his body?
Welcome to FR. Nice name. You did see where it was caused by a piece of the bird shot right?
Be seeing you around.
Some reporter just asked if this is a private matter, why is the White House involved. If the WH wasn't involved, they would spin it as them not caring.
Time to get it re-calibrated then...is it still under warranty?
I work with a lib, and even she admits that the press - especially the narcistic White House press corp gaggle of wackos - have gone off the deep end. She actually said to me yesterday, to paraphrase: "Enough about Cheney... What are we going to do about that guy in Iran?!?! He's nuts!!"
Hmmm, even some on the left are "getting it." :-)
Double WOW. A lib worried about the nut in Iran. Simply amazing.
No reasonable person is going to hold this tragic accident against Dick Chaney if Whittington dies.
We're talking the Washington DC press corps here - they will go into hyper-spin.
>>The liberal media will probably try to tell us that this has something to do with the fact that the man was shot by the Vice President.
It's a coincidence<<
Actually it is directly related. Read the thread.
Mega dittos to that, Skywarner.
They're absolutely despicable.
We'd best not detect ANY glee in their reports.
Somebody better put 24/7 protection on this elder.
Nothing better for the liberals and the MSM to see this guy expire in the hospital right now.
At the very least, we should make David Gregory be a taster for him.
Sorry. My bad. It just seemed too bad to be true.
Prayers up for Mr. Whittington And Vice President Cheney.
** clearing throat **
See post 45.
What in the world would make you say that /sarc
You must have one hearty constitution and the patience and tolerance of Job. ;)
This is totally off the subject, but I've always been interested in the evolution of the English language. I don't recall seeing press conferences referred to as "pressers" before late last year. Does anyone know the origin of this term?
"May be totally unrelated to accident."
Since when has the truth mattered to the jackals?
Husband said this is not bad at all... that he'll be fine.
He said they are treating him very conservatively, which is appropriate.
You know that will happen.
I can detect the glee in their reports, everytime an American team loses a medal in the Olympics.
Another not so serious conspiracy response: The elderly gentleman had better watch out for liberal Bush/Chaney media trying to create news.
"I don't recall seeing press conferences referred to as "pressers" before late last year. Does anyone know the origin of this term?"
I don't know, exactly, but I remember hearing the term from Public Relations flacks at least two decades ago.
I have too, up to this point.
Now, they'd best behave appropriately and politics be damned!
Oh, the Vice President must be feeling just terrible. My worst fear has always been hurting someone in an accident. Prayers for Mr. Whittington.
I think age has a lot to do with it. And I would think that risk of infection would always be a concern, regardless of age. But now that this birdshot has moved, it is getting worse. My prayers are with both families.
this certainly won't help stop the story
Your post won't be the only place that theory gets floated, I think.
David Gregory as food taster still a good precaution. The left will stop at nothing. This is all about retaking the House or Senate. Power is the only thing that matters to the RATS and their media handmaidens.
Upper heart chambers reacted to foreign substance in heart muscle.....filibration as a result. but which can be easily treated.
Gregory was still at it again today with McLellan. The media is relentless.
Media: Can this be fatal?
The leftist's impeachment jihad had just one catch, what to do with Cheney....don't think for one minute that they will not use this to their advantage!
That's an easy prediction ... they're already massively ugly.
"Not so serious response: If you wanted a conspiracy theory- A Republican loyalist agrees to be shot to give Vice President Cheney an excuse to resign so President Bush/Karl Rove can pick a new VP for a Presidential run."
WOW! Puts my tinfoil beanie to shame!
Why do you hate America?
"Upper heart chambers reacted to foreign substance in heart muscle.....filibration as a result. but which can be easily treated."
True enough, but in a 78 year old man, nothing can be taken for granted. If he's in the hospital for a week, there are all sorts of complications that can come up.
It ain't easy being old.
Called a silent heart attack. Wouldn't have been picked up if the doctors hadn't been probing the area.
How did it move to the heart if it didn't get inside the heart chamber? It sounds as if it slightly penetrated the heart wall, but that contradicts the statement that it moved.
Doctor now explaining to the Press that this was NOT a typical heart attack that most people thing of
Democrats have a whole lot in common with Islamofascists and it's easy to mistake our news media for Pravda.
Actually, I think BoT made a good point. Why does asking a question, good or not, or making a point, equate to hating America?
I just heard this on ABC News on the radio..they broke into Rush's show...
BTW..my husband told me this morning that the guys that he works with that are dems...were "celebrating" last night..thinking this would get Cheney out of the VP office...
I for one, am worried about Cheney...I am sure he feels awful...and NOW with this...the news said that one of the pellets moved into his heart causing the attack...
If so...I am sure NO ONE could be harder on Cheney than he is on himself...
I am concerned that even the docs are using the term "BB"...BB shots are MUCH larger than birdshot.
I just heard this story on the radio.

We recently introduced our newest high percentage cacao content dark chocolate—Choclatique's Elephant…Seriously Strong Chocolate (76%). Over the last couple of months, many have asked us about its origins… and why "Elephant?"
When chocolate and coffee were first spreading across Europe, many of the importers were looking for ways of differentiating their products and brands in the marketplace. The old tin-lined wooden boxes (similar to tea boxes from Asia) and burlap bags that the beans were shipped in really didn't tell enough of the story to the consuming public.
Animal-style logos appeared on the scene right around the turn of the 20th century. They were designed and put in place on smaller retail containers in stores selling chocolate and coffee throughout the British Empire. The story that they were trying to convey to the public was that their brand of chocolate (or coffee) were both strong and "full-value." The early logos that the importers used to portray strength were large animals—rhinoceros was a favorite. But, how many rhinos on packages of chocolate can be on the market at the same time without creating general confusion? Elephant and hippopotamus caricatures were next to be seen, followed by horses, eagles and even a few non-animal logos like clipper ships and tall mountains. But the consumer kept coming back for the products portrayed by rhinoceros and elephants.
At Choclatique the founders have a "thing" for elephants. I have traveled to over 130 countries in search of great chocolate sources and have spent many months in Asia where elephants have been an important part of the history and culture of the region.
I have a favorite place just outside of Bangkok which is one of the few elephant refuges in the world where you can spend hours in close contact with the very strong, but playful pachyderms. Look closely, and you'll see that we're all smiling! Yes, elephants smile and they laugh, too!
Tasting Chocolate
When seriously tasting chocolate, you should allow the chocolate to slowly melt in your mouth to savor the flavor. With Elephant you'll get big, rich chocolate flavor with the essence of ripe cherry, berry, wine and then more deep chocolate over complex layers of tart citrus, tropical red and yellow fruit and roasted nutty notes. This is all held up by the solid, rich and intense deep chocolate base. This high cacao content, medium-bodied, very intense chocolate is smooth on the tongue and palate with a long, pleasant chocolate finish.
We have found these tastes to be right in sync with the flavors that Americans love when eating chocolate. Oh, and by the way, people really love the look of the beautiful, detailed custom mold we had designed just for our Elephant Chocolate.
Choclatique's dark chocolates—Private Reserve (64%), Ebony (72%), Elephant (76%) and Q-91 (91%) are never bitter or brittle, and they have a naturally intense dark chocolate flavor which requires the use of less sugar. When you tastes our Elephant Chocolate you will see (and taste) the "fruits" of our labor.
If you love elephants, too, and want more information about how to help save these big, gentle creatures, check out Windy Borman and "The Eyes of Thailand" at: dvaproductions.com

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State and Ole Miss both are struggling, but right now there is much more at stake for the Rebels.
The Bulldogs (7-15, 2-8 SEC), losers of eight in a row, had their postseason hopes dashed long ago. Ole Miss (18-5, 7-3), on the other hand, has put itself in strong position for an NCAA tournament bid, but the Rebels have been swerving off course of late, losing three of their last four games.
The most recent setback was Saturday's 98-79 loss at Missouri. Ole Miss is treading dangerously close to the NCAA bubble, and if it wants to make its first NCAA appearance in 11 years, the defensive intensity had better pick up.
"We're not playing with an awareness, any toughness," seventh-year coach Andy Kennedy said. "We're not talking to each other out there."
In losses to Missouri, Florida and Kentucky, Ole Miss gave up an average of 87.7 points per game. Mizzou shot 47.3 percent from the field and grabbed 22 offensive rebounds.
"We didn't fight them at all," Kennedy said. "They wanted the game to be free and easy, and we let them play free and easy."
Well, the fighting part isn't entirely accurate. Reginald Buckner was ejected from the game after throwing a punch during a skirmish with Missouri's Alex Oriakhi.
Ole Miss now must travel to Texas A&M on Wednesday; the Aggies have lost six of their last eight. Because of his ejection, Buckner might be suspended by the SEC for that game.
Bulldogs in freefall
As for MSU, it was overwhelmed by Florida in an 83-58 loss on Saturday as junior guard Jalen Steele sat at home. The Bulldogs' most experienced player was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.
That leaves first-year coach Rick Ray with only six available scholarship players, but low numbers have been a problem from Day 1 with this team. With games against Missouri and LSU this week, it looks as if the Bulldogs' skid could continue.
But Ray was encouraged by some of the things he saw from his young team in the second half.
"When we get ball movement and work through the ball through the paint, we are a much better offensive team," he said. "Even though we were down, we kept competing and did some things well."

A bit upset
"I love the shoes, they are true to size and fit well except for the zipper in the back of the shoe. It does not stay up no matter if I'm walking or sitting and that is upsetting. I have to constantly pull the zipper up so the shoe doesn't slip off my foot."

Whoooo Are You?
by gwilson on Mar.12, 2010, under Uncategorized
When the CSI television show kicks off each episode with The Who singing "Who are you? Who-ooh Who-ooh?", I'm often reminded that some of the most satisfying moments in science come when a mystery is solved and we come to understand something that was beyond our knowing. In the TV show, the discovery is often the identity of a killer. In the microbiology lab, it is often the identity of a microbe. Sometimes, that microbe can also be a killer!
The traditional way for identifying bacteria is through completion of a series of biochemical tests conducted using tubes and plates of special growth media. That was one of the things that drew me to microbiology – instead of trying to provide names to structures penetrated by pins stuck through cat muscles or plant leaves, test results in the micro lab were unambiguously black and white, or at least red and yellow. I may nothave been sure whether the pin was in the semimembranosus or the pectineus, but I sure could tell the difference between red and yellow!
Today microbiologists still conduct the tests using tubes and plates, especially in the typical college teaching lab. But the BIMS program is committed to exposing students to the tools that are used in hospitals and research labs to do things more quickly and accurately. So, once students believe they know the identity of the bacteria they have isolated from nature, we follow up to confirm identity using a rapid ID system like those used in clinical labs. This approach comes at a cost, but the experience is worth every penny.
There are many to choose from, and those schools exposing students to rapid ID systems typically choose to use either Enterotubes or API strips, which are on the "lower-tech" end of the spectrum. We have decided to go a bit more high-tech and use the BD-BBL Crystal Rapid ID system. Students place a colony or two of their purified unknown into the dilution broth and fill all 30 wells with inoculum. A panel of 30 dehydrated media is snapped into place, enabling the inoculum to rehydrate the media, and the panels are tossed into an incubator overnight. Ten-digit numerical codes are derived from the results and fed into a computer that spits out an identity. Most recently, my students have used the panels for identifying bacteria contaminating foods – meats, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Who are you? When our students look at their plates of unknown bacteria and ask that question, they will find the answer is easy to determine using Crystal panels. We fully believe by the time they graduate, BIMS students will be capable of answering the same question for CSI. All it takes is the right tools, methods, and skills – something we are committed to providing.

JLo would love Gangster Franco
March 28, 2012 14:54:40 Posted at March 28, 2012 14:54:40 Photos:
I love Gangster Franco. I just wish Gangster Franco had happened before JLo decided to get with her backup dancer. Then again, James Franco actually has a career of his own. That would probably turn her off. Gangster Franco's stylings however, well, as you can see, JLo'd be all over it.
Needless to say, everyone's pointing to Kevin Federline as the inspiration behind the Gangster Franco look. Which inspired me to google "Kevin Federline cornrows". And guess what came up?

I'm sure many people on this message board have spent alot of $$$ to get a certain figure that you couldn't get from a shop or other place.

I paid $20 for Admiral Motti . . . wish I hadn't !
The three most expensive pieces in my collection by category are:
Ship- Collector Fleet Super Star Destroyer $80 (but it was Birthday Money I pretended not to have)
Figure- Long Saber Dagobah Luke- $25 (one of the first I ever bought when I didn't realize there were other resources besides TRU and Comic Book Shops)
Playset- Micro Collection Death Star World (the 1983 one) "about $100", and worth every penny I might add- this toy rocks!!!!
For a POTJ figure, no more than 12.00 As for the others, i will have to think about it.
I thought about it. I spent 150.00 on my carded Yakface years ago.
I ended up shelling out 60 dollars for the new Ywing. I was on ebay looking for one and I had found one for 30. Being my ignorant self, I didnt read the additional info and went ahead and bought it now. Well that was cool untill I found out I had to shell out another 30 for the shipping and handling. Because it was coming from Taiwan! Learn a lesson folks, read the S&H costs!!!
Also I spent $30 on Ree Yees
And if one of my friends happen to buy a figure or vehicle I havent found yet...I give them a little extra for the effort and consideration. I am just nice that way
Is this just POTJ stuff? Figure: Sandtrooper ($7.99), Item: B-Wing ($39.99).
Vintage Figure: Han in Carbonite ($95), Item: Y-Wing ($20).
POTF2 Figure: Buff Lando (this hurts, $35), Item: AT-AT ($79.99).
SOTE Figure: Dash Rendar ($5.99), Item: Outrider ($19.99).
E1 Figure: Sidious Holo ($10), Item: Queen's ship ($29).
El fin.
I think the most I've ever spent on a single item was the 12" Biker Scout with Speeder Bike, which set me back $125.
I didn't even spend that much on my vintage A-Wing and AT-AT!
$45 for the R2-D2 with holo Leia. But as I look back on it...it was a good buy. Sorta.
Then I won an Eopie off SleezeBay for $75
Yeah...I know...but I couldn't help myself :p
I spent $17 for holo sidious and admiral motti. I also got the queen's starship for christmas for 90. And of course the AT-AT for 70-80.

Great chapter.

I see the start of an addiction! Oh boy, this is gonna be a good one.
Great chapter.
Mashiro sure can creep you out sometimes. He looked like some zombie....lol

Good chapter, and some great facial expressions. They should be more okay in the future, they were mostly screwed because the first chapter of Reversi is extra long, and Mashiro got caught up in the first chapter of new PCP, so they had an extra 30 pages to deal with on the weekly, on top of the already expanded by 40 pages schedule. And with extra assistants... should be okay from here on out.

The characters from Monster High are starring in their first DVD movie, Monster High Ghouls Rule. The story goes that the ghouls are getting ready for Halloween and reaching back into fashion and monster history to dress up for the holiday.
The Frankie Stein doll wears a blue, black, and white dress with matching earrings and black boots. The doll comes with a lightning bolt mask, a blue bucket for collecting candy, a party cauldron, and hairbrush. Frankie's black hair is streaked with white, reminiscent of the Bride of Frankenstein.
This gorgeous doll will be a must-have for every Monster High fan and fashion fan. Frankie's dress reminds us of John Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood. The look has been given a contemporary Monster High twist. You can't help think of Betsey Johnson channeling Karl Lagerfeld. This doll is a wonderful imagination-inspiring toy and collectible. Monster High fans will like being able to play out the Halloween storyline from the new DVD.
Given the sophistication and elegance of the costumes, though, these dolls will appeal to collectors as well, and for kids they combine elements of play and display, which is what will appeal to girls who love the dolls but may not want to engage in younger fashion play.
As with all Monster High dolls, there's an element of humor in the storyline and the details of the clothes and accessories that really appeals to its fans.
Monster High Ghouls Rule Frankie Stein is for ages 6 and up.
Additional Ghouls Rule dolls include Draculaura, Cleo de Nile, and Clawdeen Wolf. Each is sold separately.
In addition to being gorgeous, these dolls and their storyline also have a message for kids: Everyone is different, and those differences should be celebrated. Delivering that message through the monster theme with style and wit has certainly contributed to the popularity of Monster High.

I accept this
Ryan Lambert
April 03 2009 01:46PM
With Vancouver almost certainly poised to hound the Flames for the rest of the year, I guess any win's a good one.
Another kind of uninspiring win, sure — the Flames look pretty bad and basically let Dallas have the run of the place for vast stretches of the game — but it was in fact Calgary that emerged with the 2-1 win. They didn't play badly and while the offense continues to be underwhelming, at least Jarome Iginla is scoring again. He usually kickstarts it all, so if he's on track, the rest of the team probably isn't too far behind.
So that's all I'm going to worry about at this point. And hey, the Flames are technically back at the top of the division because while they have the same number of POINTS as the Canucks, they have two additional wins, both of which might be the difference between a third- and fifth-place finish.
Worrying about anything else, least of all what the Canucks do, is counterproductive, so I guess the point is that Calgary just needs to focus on playing their own games and making sure they're succes.. oh god no everyone's hurt.
Robyn Regehr: Didn't make the flight to Minnesota.
Adrian Aucoin: Day-to-day.
Dustin Boyd: Sent down to clear cap space.
Oh yes, this whole "winning the division" thing will be a lot tougher than I thought.
The Good
Defense — The last three games, Calgary has allowed two, two and one goal. Granted, it wasn't against the stiffest competition in the world, but come on. They've only given up 62 shots in three games! That's fine by me.
Miikka Kiprusoff — One goal against on 30 shots? I'll take it.
Jarome Iginla — Second goal in as many games and both have been vintage Iginla. If he's choosing right now to round back into form, then he couldn't have picked a better time. He's the engine that makes this team go, so
D.. Dion Phaneuf? — Two points, a plus-2, and not on the ice for any goals against? That has to be a typo, right? Good for him if it's not, but I think someone at the NHL stats department might've just dropped the ball.
The Bad
The offense — Hmm, Marty Turco has been absolutely awful lately. Let's not get any pucks toward him, guys, okay? Last thing we'd want to do is hurt his feelings. Christ. Get in his face, run him if you have to. He's been playing like garbage for a month, and a good percentage of the Flames shots were low-percentage ones from the perimeter. Blerg.
The Ugly
The FlamesNation comment section — I'm not sure if it's just me that's having this kind of trouble, but I can't read the comments on any posts, and haven't been able to for the last few days. I'd ask you to let me know if you are also experiencing this inconvenience but, well, how could you? When I click on the comments link, as I often do (I need to know what kind of praise I am being lavished with at any given time), I just see this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare comment_number() (blahblahblah secret internet words) on line 22
Yes I am also having that problem.
Not much of a commenter TLP - but thought I'd at least test your comment-y thing.
Look at it this way, for every flame defenceman that gets injured now, we essentially have to send another forward down to clear cap space to bring up once. We're at 16 skaters now - so I figure we're only one bad break away from dressing the defensive powerhouse of Curtis Mcelhinney and a Cymbal-banging monkey. At least that'd spice up some of the, fairly dry, hockey the Flames have been lapsing into.

The April meeting of the Emery County School District Board of Education was held at Cleveland Elementary School. Business Administrator Jared Black briefly reported on the progress of capital projects the district will be completing over the next few months. Major projects include the track resurfacing at Emery High, a new lunchroom floor at Ferron Elementary, asbestos abatement at Cottonwood Elementary and Ferron Elementary, and fixing the heating and cooling systems at Green River High.
The members of the board considered the warrants and minutes for the February Board meeting, and financial reports from February 2009. The warrants, minutes and financial reports were approved as presented.
Superintendent Kirk Sitterud recommended to the Board that the following individuals be approved Tom Guymon, assistant track coach at Emery High; Kaylynn Cornett as drill team advisor at Emery High; and Brianna Robinson, cheerleader advisor at Canyon View Junior High.
Sitterud presented a request for unpaid leave on behalf of Schaly Ungerman, a preschool assistant at Cleveland Elementary. Sitterud explained that she is requesting unpaid leave from March 10 to the end of the school year for family reasons. She does not qualify for Family Medical Leave. Board member Nanette Tanner asked about what happens to the position in the meantime and Sitterud responded that a substitute would be used. The leave was approved.
Sitterud presented one policy revision to the board: Electronic Device Use by Employees. Sitterud explained that the revision of GBEE would match our policy to the recent rule change by the State Board of Education, allowing for the "appropriate use of two-way radios" when a school bus is moving. This type of communication is often necessary in the transportation department, especially when route changes, schedule delays and emergency notifications need to be made. The action was approved.
Black, business administrator, presented a service agreement for board approval which would allow the district to participate in a PrimeTrust plan through the Precision Retirement Group. Black explained that this plan would allow the district to pay longevity and retirement payouts into either a 401(k) or a tax-free medical trust account. The determination of which account the money goes into is made based on an interview the employee has with a representative from Precision Retirement. The medical trust option would provide tax-free money for medical expenses during retirement, which should be a tremendous benefit to many of the district's employees. The action was approved.
Black presented a quit claim deed for board approval. If approved, he explained that it would deed 3.36 acres of land near Canyon View Junior High to Huntington City so that a road can be built on it. The road would then be owned and maintained by the city. This is the road that would provide a new access route to the school. Members of the board reviewed maps of the proposed project. Marie Johnson then made a motion to approve the quit claim deed and authorize Black to sign it on behalf of the board.
The next item of business was the appointment of negotiation team members for upcoming meetings. Board President Laurel Johansen appointed herself and Johnson to the classified team and Sam Singleton and Tanner to the licensed team. Black will participate on both teams. She also extended authority to Superintendent Sitterud to appoint district office personnel to chair negotiations meetings.
Principal Ed Clark of Cleveland Elementary was invited to present an update of Cleveland Elementary School to the Board. Clark thanked the board for coming to Cleveland Elementary. The school is in consideration for a No Child Left Behind national award and was recently named a Gold Medal School of the Month in Utah. The school has experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment from a year ago and that trend should continue into next year, when the projected enrollment is 184.
Principal Clark also recognized the quality teachers and staff working at Cleveland Elementary. Principal Clark also reported on some of the vocational programs in the district. Novell scholarships were recently awarded to three Emery High students. Only six scholarships are given statewide, so having three go to Emery High is impressive.
Other vocational awards recently received in the District include: Nikki Carter as the State Imaging Technology winner, the automotive program placing second at a competition in New Mexico, and Jesse Malan representing Utah at the National Range Management Competition. Clark expressed some concern over vocational funding next year, noting that we will know more in the upcoming days and weeks. President Johansen and other members of the board thanked Principal Clark for his work. President Johansen noted the standard of excellence at Cleveland Elementary.
Sitterud reported on budgetary cuts for the school district. Final numbers have not yet been received, but it does look like there is a cut of 17 percent in ongoing money. Much of that will be backfilled with one-time funds, but it is still looking like a 7-8 percent overall cut for next year, with a strong possibility of further cuts a year from now.

Comments: I've had the traditional hockey bags for years, you know the ones with the outside skate pockets (ala bauer ccm itech). Those bags always tended to fall apart due to all the different compartment seams. Therefore I started looking for a basic bag with a central compartment, and inline skate pockets so the bag isn't so wide. This reebok bag fits the bill nicely. It is a bit of a throwback bag with one central compartment, but has some modern upgrades like end skate pockets that are very deep and big enough for the largest skates. There is also a side zippered compartment that you can throw all your small stuff into (like tape, laces, wax, etc.), the pocket runs almost the entire length of the bag which is nice. The carry straps are nice a wide and also adjustable length so it is easy to carry on your shoulder.

Switzerland 1865 – France 1925
The ball (Corner of the park with child playing with a ball)
[Le ballon (Coin de parc avec enfant jouant au ballon)] 1899
oil on card, laid on wood panel
panel 48.0 (h) x 61.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Bequest of Carle Dreyfus 1953
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
A most ordinary scene of everyday life—a child playing with a ball in the park—is dramatised by the artist's high viewpoint, patterning and reduced range of colours. We look down on a little boy or girl (opinions differ) dressed in a white smock and straw hat, running after a red ball. Its circular shape is accentuated in the larger yellow hat, and repeated in another light brown ball lying in the trees' shadow to the left. The image is split vertically into shade on the left and sunlight on the right. It is divided again diagonally, into an ochre foreground and green and black upper ground. The light brown earth or grass is rounded like the curvature of the Earth itself, and we, the viewers, see it as a bird would, or as though from a tower.
The dynamic rendition of the floating smock is echoed in the child's shadow, which seems to move ahead of the trees' dappled shade reaching across the grass. Two women, one dressed in blue, the other in white, lead the eye on an opposite diagonal axis, from the child to the upper left. Like most of Vallotton's paintings, there is little colour or tonal modulation; rather he employs flat planes broken up into decorative shapes. The graphic quality comes from his other career: Vallotton made dynamic black-and-white wood engravings, with no half-tones, just positives and negatives.
Like most of the Nabis, Vallotton admired Japanese woodblock prints, and adapted many themes and stylistic conventions from them. Ukiyo-e depicted 'images of the floating world', the ephemeral, sensory pleasures of city life. Unlike Vuillard's and Bonnard's images of public gardens however, Vallotton did not decorate each view with ornamental patterns. He reduced rather than augmented the visual elements, and smoothed paint into a material parallel to reality.
Vallotton's is an outsider's view, and never one of unalloyed delight. He was born in Switzerland, and in Paris was named the 'foreign Nabis'. The child's playground is not rich green grass, but has been burnt dry and brown by the summer sun. He plays alone, supervised by the adults glimpsed in the background. The deserted ball hints at other children, now gone. It is a city pleasure for the offspring of the bourgeoisie, this solitary ballgame, and any pastime less rowdy or companionable can hardly be imagined.

For a Hollywood night out at Rockwell Lounge, Selena Gomez rocked Somedays Lovin 'Moss Heart' floral maxi dress from the brand's "Marmalade Skies" collection. The perfect finishing touch was a simple black pump for this high-slit dress with pink and red accents.
At an event for her New York & Company Spring fashion line, girly girl Eva Mendes accessorized her blue and black frock with matchy-matchy mint heels and a ladylike bag and one of her signatures—a taupe turband.
Ever the trendsetter, style star Nicole Richie opted for three trends in one look: dark florals, a fringe clutch, and a turtleneck (it's having a comeback moment). Whatever Nicole does, we do.
We're also loving Jenna Dewan-Tatum's Peter Som for DesignNation pajama-esque pants. They make look like dandelion-bespeckled pantalones, but they're actually whimsical pineapples. Either way, they work and you can score your own pair for $50 at Kohl's.
We love anything Zoë Saldana wears that shows off those super caliente legs and this Givenchy number is no exception. With an added sheer lace panel element, it's a one of our all-time favorites on her!
For a movie photo call in Madrid, Spain, Lily Collins opted for a high-collared Dolce&Gabbana vestido that was both feminine and sexy. Plus, keeping the hem slightly below the knee works for day or night.
If you're looking to translate this trend into a more daytime-meets-casual vibe, try a patterned jean like Jessica Alba did here. It's both unexpected and versatile.

It's Draft Day Open Thread: Threat Level Feaster
June 30 2013 12:29PM
It's been asserted by more than a few people that today is "The Most Important Day In Calgary Flames History", which, by the way, isn't true, but is one of those fork in the road moments for the organization, and need not be taken lighlty.
Flames fans, rightfully so, are TERRIFIED about the developments about to unfold today. Many of them are looking at their watch and wondering if it's too early to hit the sauce. For the record, I'm writing this now because it's too early for the liquor store to be open.
In an effort to kill time and to agitate an entire fanbase, I thought I'd take a minute to offer a little bit of a Draft Primer that touches on the picks held and some of the rumours surrounding the Flaming C.
Those Three Firsties
photo via Mika Kylmäniemi
The Flames, as you all no doubtedly are aware by now, hold the 6th, 22nd, and 28th draft picks in the first round. There's been endless debate as to what should happen to those picks, and needless to say, none of us anywhere have any damn clue as to what is going to happen. The Flames drafted Mark Jankowski last season, so the brass has set a precedent of erratic behaviour that really none of us have a read on.
That said, assuming none of the picks are traded (more on that later), there's a fairly good consensus that the 6th overall pick should yield one of Elias Lindholm, Valeri Nichushkin, or Sean Monahan, with the outside possibilities of Alexsander Barkov or Rasmus Ristolainen getting casual mentions as well.
Jay Feaster, allegedly a GM, has said some petrifying things regarding this pick. As an example, he's been quoted as saying that it will be a factor if the player selected isn't willing to come over to North America right away (via Ryan Rishaug), likely speaking to either Nichushkin or Lindholm, both of whom are better options for the Flames than Sean Monahan, but you know, ENIGMATIC, so...
Another dumb thing that's been rumoured relatively heavily this morning is the 6th pick going to Philly in exchange for Braydon Coburn and (something else). I don't know what the other piece involved would be, but it's not going to be Sean Couturier, and Braydon Coburn is not worth giving up the 6th pick for, so if this happens, I hope you've got your Jager Bombs ready. We're going to need to drink to forget.
There's whispers of a deal between the Flames and the Winnipeg Jets as well. there's no word as to what or who is involved, but it's got to be Olli Jokinen, because why wouldn't it be? Don't trust whatever you see, and if you happen to be in Jersey right now and see Jay Feaster, hit him. Right in the mouth. When you do it, you can say something awesome like "I'm supposed to tell you that Lanny sent me" or something. I don't care, just knock some sense into the man.

On the positive side, there have been rumours as well that the Boston Bruins, inexplicably, are looking to move young Tyler Seguin, and that the Flames are in on him. I'm not sure where the rumour originated from, but it's been talked about enough to talk about here, so shut up and listen!
The deal seems to be Seguin for the 6th, and the adorable Johnny Gaudreau. I know you all know that Flames Nation is high on Johnny Hockey, and if he were traded, a lot of you bought your Gaudreauby Baker shirts and are now nothing but rags to you, but make no mistake, if the Flames could pull off THAT deal, it's a total win. The Bruins allegedly souring on Seguin is their own misguided vision, not Calgary's.
There's a lot of bunk rumours out there that Seguin has a bit of a coke problem and some attitude, and certainly some of the things he says and does will not make him seem like a generally good person, but rumours are rumours, and hockey is hockey, and Seguin can play hockey. He had an off year (this season doesn't count anyway), but this is a Number 1 center waiting to happen, and the relative uncertainty surrounding Gaudreau makes the risk worth it.
22 and 28
No one has a damn clue what's happening with these picks. Our own Ryan Pike and Christian Roatis have profiled several potential targets for the Flames at these picks, and do a better job profiling any of them than I would, so you should check those out if you haven't yet.
The stronger likelihood here is that these picks get dealt. I don't know to whom or to where, but while distressing, it's a lot less to be concerned about than mismanaging the 6th pick. Still, have an extra shot or two ready just in case.
The Flames will also strut their stuff at the podium for picks 67, 135, 157, 187, and 198. There's not a whole lot to note in here, because drafting past even the second round is pretty volatile. Of note, with that third round pick, there's an outside chance the Flames could draft Jordan Subban, but this is mostly interesting because of the name, and not as much because of the player (not that he isn't good)
Also, assuming the team didn't foolishly draft a goalie in the first round (oh yeah, a real possibility. We all joke, because we've run out of tears), this might be where the team selects a goaltender, if they truly believe they need one, which, I don't know, I guess you can never have too many. If a Jussi Saros or Calvin Petersen is still available, it's worth a look at.
Eh Vinny
Pic via Jennifer Kuhn
According to Elliotte Friedman, the Flames are one of the teams interviewing newly employable Vincent Lecavalier today. There are apparently about 8 or 9 teams interested in Vinny (including Atvomobilist, one of the worst and poorest teams in the KHL), but you'd have to believe only a portion of those teams are doing more than kicking tires.
The Flames, I'm sure, would love to sign Lecavalier, and honestly, if it were on a one year deal (two max) at a responsible dollar figure, I'd be okay with it. It seems unlikely that that would be the case, however, as the more teams in on him, the higher the price tag, at which point Feaster and friends should just casually bow out. The team is finally absolving itself of a bad contract era, and bringing in a new one is no way to usher in a new aeon of Flames hockey.
Drink Up
I know I haven't presented an overly rosy portrayal of how this day could shake out for your Calgary Flames today, but I just really don't trust the decision makers on this team. Given the rumours swirling around the team, some dumb quotes by Jay Feaster, MARK JANKOWSKI, and so on and so forth, it's hard to have any kind of confidence inspired.
That's why I'm off to go stock up on supplies. The draft kicks off at 1 PM Calgary time. Make a game out of it. Do your own thing. Me, I'm going to build a bunker out of empties and I'm preparing to hide in it until Connor McDavid is draft eligible.

Found the link to colgate's roster for 2013-14, he's on it
lol Harrison doesn't even have a complete page on Eliteprospects. I'll put it this way: the page of a guy I went to elementary with and who is playing goal in some backwater local league has more information on it than Harrison's.
This has been an... interesting draft, but I have to say, there's potential for it to really turn out. The first round actually isn't half bad, and Eric Roy has the potential (there's that word again...) to be something real interesting.
On the other hand, there's the possibility that Monahan is the only pick that ever sees the NHL...
June 30 2013, 07:35PM
Yeah. It's really rare that you can't find any info on a guy anywhere. CSS didn't even rank this kid.
June 30 2013, 07:41PM
According to Pat Steinberg, Harrison played 17 games in "Dexter Prep" and scored 13 goals and 30 points.

Flames pick defender Rushan Rafikov in the 7th round. Played mostly in the MHL.
Jets take Kichton
June 30 2013, 07:52PM
Final pick is John Gilmour, who is almost 20 years old already. He played for Providence this year.
Underwhelmed by today's draft.
Honestly, I like those last two picks for the Flames. Well enough, anyway.
Rafikov represents a departure from form (and FINALLY another European). And who wouldn't like a Russian named Rushan? Gold.
As for Gilmour, I imagine the Flames have seen a lot of him with viewing Jankowski and Gillies. Hard to blame them for flipping a 7th rounder for him, if they think there's something there.

Just watched more highlights of Monahan and Nischushkin...Sad Panda that we didn't get the big Russian...big body but so fast with the puck and acceleration - you can't teach that to anyone. Monahan is decent but everything looks half a step slower in his game after watching Nischuskin. Even if the big N is a bit flaky I actually would have bought a few Flames tickets just to watch him skate this year. Monahan will do suffice for the Flames but I saw no real Wow Factor to his game...hope I am wrong on this one.
Just thinking about a Terravainen - Shinaruk - Nischuskin line could have looked on a Flames roster...sigh.

Beating the summer heat
Using large-diameter, low-speed fans to make your plant more comfortable
Summertime and the factory is even hotter. Here's a look at one option for making conditions more tolerable and safer for your workforce.
With all their heat-producing machinery and processes, manufacturing facilities can be very hot, uncomfortable, and unsafe workplaces. This can be especially true in the summer months. Studies have shown that improved occupant comfort leads to increased productivity and that worker productivity decreases as temperatures rise above 77 degrees F.1
A comfortable environment also improves employee retention, which is a critical factor in an industry that's struggling to find workers.
The following FAQs provide answers about improving your operation's comfort using large-diameter, low-speed fans.
1. When it comes to working indoors during the summer, what are the optimal environmental conditions to ensure employee comfort and expected levels of productivity? How can that type of environment be maintained as summer temperatures escalate?
Feeling comfortable depends on more than just air temperature. Human thermal comfort takes into account numerous environmental factors, including temperature, thermal radiation, humidity, and air speed as defined by ASHRAE Standard 55-2010 (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers), along with personal factors such as activity level and clothing.
When the temperature and humidity rise, the body's ability to cool itself decreases. Reducing the amount of clothing worn is greatly valued, and incorporating natural ventilation where applicable can help. Granted, in the manufacturing industry, reducing activity level generally is not an option, and many jobs require protective clothing. However, applying gentle, nondisruptive, nonturbulent airflow from large-diameter, low-speed fans can aid the evaporative cooling process and help to maintain employee comfort even in hot conditions.
2. How do fans help address uncomfortable humidity levels?
Large-diameter, low-speed fans do not increase or reduce the amount of humidity in the space, nor will they change the temperature of the air. The airflow provides a cooling effect on occupants, similar to a natural breeze. Additionally, a fan can distribute or even out any humidity or temperature discrepancies so the vertical and horizontal temperature and humidity levels are the same. Achieving this effect requires the right number of properly sized fans, appropriately placed.
3. What's the best way to maintain a comfortable working environment in a large workspace, such as a 10,000-sq.-ft. shop floor? Alternatively, what's the best approach to maintaining suitable work conditions in a confined area, such as a welding cell?
Given the number of factors involved in laying out an effective system for occupant comfort, this question is not easily answered without adequate information about the climate, type of conditioning if any, obstructions in the space, amount of process heat involved, and the presence of natural ventilation, to suggest a few. Fan manufacturers have trained experts who can help determine a space's specific needs.
4. How do I get an idea of what sort of cooling system makes sense for my facility?
Numerous factors are involved in choosing an appropriate cooling system for a specific location. One factor is no more or less important than others, and you must weigh all of them.
- Building envelope – A poorly insulated building requires more air conditioning, which is expensive to purchase and install.
- Occupant density – Does it make sense to air condition a 30,000-sq.-ft. building with five occupants?
- Local climate – Consider San Francisco vs. Death Valley; what's appropriate for my climate?
- Local utility costs –Electricity is a lot more expensive in some parts of the country than others.
- Activity level – Will workers be mobile or stationary?
- Budget – Upfront costs vs. long-term costs. The right kind of system has to be affordable to install and operate, plus provide sufficient comfort for the building's occupants.
5. What can be done to minimize the noise generated by large fans?
Unlike small, high-speed fans that generate upward of 85 dBA, properly engineered industrial large-diameter, low-speed fans typically create sound levels of less than 55 dBA—the quiet end of the range for household dishwashers.
However, a fan's decibel level does not tell the entire story. Clearly distinguishable tones (single frequencies) can cause a sound to seem louder than its actual dBA, thus causing significant annoyance even at theoretically acceptable dBA levels. Once a tonal noise has been heard, it is more easily recognized, even at lower sound levels. In other words, both sound quantity and sound quality should be considered before a fan is installed to prevent occupant noise complaints.
In addition to the high-pitched electrical noise sometimes caused by placing the fan's variable frequency drive far from its motor, gear reducers and bearings can create tonal noises in the 400 to 2,000 Hz range that are problematic in sound-sensitive areas. While not as unpleasant as electrical noise, mechanical tonal noise can still be a significant source of occupant complaints. For sound-sensitive applications, it is recommended that fans with high-quality bearings and direct-drive motors (without gears) be used.
6. How much energy is needed to run fans? What sort of an impact will it make on my company's utility bill?
Energy usage depends on the size and number of fans, horsepower of the motors, hours of operation per week, and the local cost of electricity. With typical hours of operation during the summer months, a 12- to 24-ft. large-diameter, low-speed fan uses, on average, 7.1 to 11.6 kWh of energy on a daily basis, which is less than an air-conditioning system and more applicable in most warehouse facilities.

Global Warming Impact on Human/Mammal Health by 2100 Predicted

Matthew Huber of Purdue University
(Source: arcticstories.net)
The paper describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if global temperatures were to rise a certain amount over the course of this century
A Purdue climatologist has published a paper that questions, "How much
can humans physically handle?"
Matthew Huber, a Purdue University climatologist, wrote a scientific paper that describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if expected
rises in global temperature
were to occur by the year 2100. Average estimates from certain models land in the 3 to 4 degrees Celsius range, while others predict 10 or even 20 degree hikes.
Using a measurement technique called "wet-bulb temperature," Huber and Sherwood were able to model what would happen to humans if the 3, 4, 10 or 20 degree increases were to occur by 2100. The wet-bulb temperature method consists of a thermometer bulb wrapped in wet cloth and ventilated, which represents the most perfect scenario for a human to withstand increasing global temperatures: a naked, healthy adult standing in the shade while drinking gallons and gallons of water. Any other scenario that strays from this perfect example would place heat-related stress on a person or mammal to some degree depending on the increase in global temperature.
"We intentionally were trying to explore the upper limit of what humans can possibly stand," said Huber. "Essentially we were assuming a perfectly acclimated person, in perfect health, not performing physical labor, and out of the sun, and were then asking, 'What would it take to kill them quickly?' A real person would be profoundly uncomfortable, miserable and/or sick long before we reach the limit discussed in our paper. Infants, pregnant women, and the elderly would be especially vulnerable long before we hit the limit discussed.
"Thus, the global mean temperature increase of about >10°C that causes widespread heat death in our paper probably is a significant overestimate of the threshold at which substantial harm [would come] to societies and individuals would suffer harm and/or reduced productivity. Put in more prosaic terms, large parts of the world would be violating OSHA and international health standards for work long before we approach this >10°C threshold. But we wanted to be sure we had a limit set by physical and thermodynamic laws and not by human ones (since those are mutable)."
According to Huber, it's most important for the world to set a goal of what temperature increase to avoid. He believes avoiding a 2 degree Celsius increase by 2100 would be impossible by this point, but maybe a 6 degree (and definitely 10 degree) increase is preventable if the proper actions are taken.
If a 10 or 12 degree global temperature increase was achieved by 2100, Huber said people would likely be dying in the streets or running to air conditioned-only locations. However, increased air conditioning can lead to power grid issues, and the grid is strained enough as it is.
What would the world be like if we hit a 12 degree Celsius increase?
"My nightmare," said Huber. "I'm in Oklahoma on a hot summer day. Under a heat lamp. Running. Wrapped in plastic."
There is much debate over whether climate models are correct or not, so Huber's method of basing his results of off many of them (which have varied results of 3 to 20 degree Celsius predicted hikes by 2100) have caused scientists to be skeptical.
"The models aren't perfect," said Huber. "The thing to ask is, are they biased to produce a world that is too warm or
too cold in the future
? For 30 years, climate modelers have compared simulations of past climate change (glacial intervals, greenhouse climates such as the Eocene) against data and found that models get the general climate right but that they are systematically biased to be somewhat too insensitive to forcing. In other words, what modeling of past climates tells us is that these models are—if anything—biased to underpredict future climate change."
Another question addressed is whether humans can adapt to the increase in global temperature. Huber seems to think some can through burrowing, staying near bodies of water, reducing activities and becoming more active at night.
"The most direct way for humans to respond physiologically, which would take thousands of years if at all (we are most likely to change our behaviors) is to get small and skinny, to decrease our volume and maximize our surface area so we can lose heat more effectively," said Huber.
Earlier this week,
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson
said that manmade global warming has been overexaggerated, and that humans could easily adapt to rising global temperatures.
He also blamed a lazy press, illiterate public and fear-mongering advocacy groups for the bad light placed on the oil industry.
"We have spent our entire existence adapting," said Tillerson. "We'll adapt. It's an engineering problem and there will be an engineering solution."
Huber and Sherwood's
was published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

"Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?... So why the f*** doesn't it do that?" -- Steve Jobs

UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board meeting 2013, UNDP Segment
Statement by
Mr Peter van der Vliet
Deputy Permanent Representative of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the UN
UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board Annual Meeting / UNDP segment
New York, 10 June 2013
Thank you Mr President and thank you Mrs Clark for your opening statement. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs Clark on her re-appointment this morning.
The Netherlands would like to comment on 4 issues that are of particular interest to us, namely on the draft strategic plan, on the results framework, on increased focus, and on UN system-wide coherence.
First, on the draft strategic plan
UNDP has a very well chosen title for its next strategic plan, as it expresses a spirit for change and new approaches, which we strongly welcome.
We support the general direction of the new strategic plan, its focus on promoting voice and participation, addressing inequalities, building resilience and supporting sustainable human development.
We appreciate the attention for recovery in post-conflict situations and trust that UNDP's work will be based on its commitment to the Peace and State Building Goals and Transformative Agenda.
We fully support the human rights based approach of the draft strategy plan. In this regard we would appreciate clarification on how UNDP's work in the context of UNAIDS, especially safeguarding the rights of sexual minorities, will be reflected in the strategic plan.
UNDP's areas of work are broadly defined and have linkages with other UN organizations, civil society and the private sector. We would welcome more systematic attention in the strategic plan for the coordination and division of labor with other actors.
For example, in the area of sustainable and inclusive productive capacities it would be very useful to have an idea of complementarity with organizations such as the World Bank and UNEP. The same goes for other strategic areas.
The draft strategic plan expresses the intention of UNDP to become leaner and more cost-effective. We fully support this and also welcome the development of a systematic and coherent view on the required UNDP presence at country and regional level in 2014 and beyond.
A final comment on the draft strategic plan: in order to see the relative importance of the areas of work, the integrated budget and resource plan will be the proof of the pudding. We look forward to receiving a draft as soon as possible.
Secondly, on the results framework
We appreciate the generally consistent approach towards impact, outcomes and outputs in the results framework.
We expect that reporting on progress will require considerable efforts and suggest to take a balanced approach that doesn't overly burden the organization. We would also like to emphasize that an analytical narrative, on UNDP's contributions to change processes at corporate level, is instrumental to explain UNDP's achievements
Furthermore, we would be interested to know whether UNDP in progress reporting expects to be able to cover 100 % of its activities and expenditures ?
We welcome the attention for results-based management and would be interested to hear what measures UNDP will take to strengthen a culture of results-based management in the organization.
Thirdly, on increased focus
The Netherlands welcomes the reduction of the number of outcome areas in the new strategic plan and the steps that have been taken to focus country office programs. The cumulative review shows progress in the reduction of outcomes of country programs and increased alignment with corporate outcomes.
UNDP's program delivery depends largely on non-core contributions. The evaluation of UNDP's strategic plan 2008-2013 rightly mentions that UNDP's funding model presents challenges for sustainability and focus of country programs. We appreciate efforts for improvement so far and urge UNDP to further develop measures that avoid fragmentation in-country and strengthen sustainability and scalability of projects.
Fourth, on UN system-wide coherence
We are pleased to see UNDP's commitment to Delivering as One reflected in full compliance with the Management and Accountability System.
We welcome the follow-up actions of the QCPR, in particular the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the establishment of the new funding methodology for the resident coordinator system.
For the Netherlands, Delivering as One is the best way to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the UN and we are interested to hear how the Standard Operating Procedures and the Proposed Plan of Action for Headquarters will be implemented.
We look forward to the additional indicators on UN Coordination of the UN Development System for the Results Framework of the strategic plan, that will be prepared once there is agreement within UNDG.
In conclusion I would like to express our appreciation for the dialogues and opportunities to provide feedback on the draft strategic plan over the last months and in the months ahead and look forward to the complete set of draft Theories of Change that underpin UNDP's approach, guide the results framework and provide a basis for future narrative reports.
Thank you.

Once again, the Emery County Historical Society hosted its annual cowboy poetry and dutch oven dessert night at Castle Valley Outdoors. As usual, the evening was filled with talented poets and gifted singers. Country Rose, Barbara Moore, Doris Walker and Candy Price, filled the air with songs as the members of the historical society gathered in the outdoor setting.
Kent Petersen served as emcee for the evening and began with several requested poems. Shirley Hill followed Petersen with a couple more. Evelyn Huntsman read a story about Butch Cassidy and his pal Elza Lay riding and working in the San Rafael area.
Sylvia Nelson addressed the crowd to give a tribute to long time historical society founding member Montell Seely. She told of her memories of Montell. "He was instrumental in keeping the Emery County Historical Society going. He worked diligently to record Emery County's history and gave a lot of input into the Emery County History book. He also spent a lot of time on his family history and wrote two books about the Seely family, and was working on a third. He kept a journal everyday for many years and if anyone had a question about the history, Montell could look in his journals and get the answer," said Nelson. She then introduced Mark Justice who also told a few of his memories of Montell.
Justice began by telling of a poem his wife Kathy had written in honor of Montell. Laurie Pitchforth read the poem Kathy wrote which told of Montell and his life, his connection with the Castle Valley Pageant and his respect for the people of the past.
Justice said the first time he heard Montell's name was in the 1970s. There was an exchange of Letters to the Editor in the Emery County Progress in which Montell and another county resident swapped viewpoints. "It was a wonderful exchange of ideas and both men were very eloquent," said Justice.
He went on to tell of his own seven years involved with the presidency of the Castle Valley Pageant. When he began in that position, he became well acquainted with Montell. He learned Montell had been a basketball player in high school and could tell of all his teammates, their height and skills. "One thing I noticed was Montell always praised his teammates and never said anything about himself. Montell said he wasn't in school for the learning, just whatever sport was currently being played," Justice said.
"Montell went on to get a masters degree from Brigham Young University. He was an immensely charming and personable man. I respected him as a person of tremendous accomplishment. He was a very effective member of the community and always worked for the community. His dream was the Castle Valley Pageant and several years after it began, some of the spirit wore off. But, Montell worked hard to keep it going once it was started. It was his vision.
"Montell was a man who had great influence on people. He worked to find a common ground with everyone he met. He was a man of absolute caring, not only for his own family, but for the entire community," stated Justice. Justice also mentioned the Castle Valley Pageant, in its many years of success, has put Emery County on the map. This season, the pageant hosted more than 12,000 visitors, most of those from the Wasatch Front.
Following the tribute to Montell, Petersen introduced more cowboy poets. Russell Swasey and Ron Wright recited several poems and Country Rose entertained with more songs. As always, the Dutch oven cobbler and ice cream topped off the evening.

I watched the after emmys show on E!! and guiluana looked like a walkung skeleton. Her shoulders were so bony and her face was extremely gaunt. Why would the network encourage her to be on the air looking like that. Mind you the camera adds 20 pounds so imagine what she looks like in person.ReplyCancel
Do they have rehab for conservative Republicans, ala Elizabeth?ReplyCancel

Giada guess is very good! The stories about her extracurricular activities are bringing all of the wrong kind of attention. Everytime I watch her show I keep seeing male bits in her mouth.
Giuliana isn't young anymore hence the blonde hair. It's looks terrible.
Watching FP from last night as I post this. Stefani really did something to her face. It's not just the hair.ReplyCancel
I watched ghoulianna host the pre show Monday and she seemed coked up..She was constantly trash talking Ryan Seacrest for being Above the Emmy's and couldn't pencil it in his schedule. . I understand the usual trash talking of Ryan there but that was Ott and excessive almost painful to watch. . She just wouldn't stop going in Hard on Ryan. . Odd 4 sureReplyCancel

Juliet Flap Cross Body Bag
"This purse in a good size and material for going shopping. Nice that it has the handle or crossbody option. The sliding lock is another nice feature. The material is a nice faux-leather that doesn't look cheap, but I don't have to worry about taking care of it like a real leather. Nice pockets inside to hold phone, pens, and sunglasses."

Poppie Jones Body Bag
"I absolutely fell in love with this bag when I saw it in the clearance section at my DSW! I love this color (taupe), and the length of the strap (a little more than 40in). It's super stylish with a lock on the outside, which doesn't need a key, its just practical. Absolutely love this bag and would definitely recommend!"

Color Block Great Save for Handle and Strap
"I fell in love with this bag the moment I saw it! It looks exactly as pictured-- though if you look closely, the brown of the handle and strap is different from the dark brown color of the actual bag. I wasn't expecting that in the real thing-- so if this is a problem for you, at least now you know. It doesn't really bother me though. Great cross body because it's roomy without the bulk."
