Mike Dmitrich spoke at the first annual Utah Coal Mine Safety Conference. Dmitrich has a history rich in coal mining. His father was killed in a coal mine. Dmitrich recently retired from the state senate where he spent 40 years in the House Of Representatives and the State Senate. He was on the Utah Mine Safety Commission formed by Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. after the Crandall Canyon mine accident.
Dmitrich spoke about the mine commission and their role in addressing safety. He said they heard from everyone who had anything to do with mining during those commission meetings. One of the controversies in the mine commission was whether or not to have state mine inspections. The state of Utah abandoned mine inspections in 1987 and left that enforcement to the Mine, Safety and Health Administration. In Carbon and Emery counties there are 17 federal inspectors for eight mines.
The legislature only appropriated $240,000 to run the Utah Office of Coal Mine Safety. At the recent special session of the Utah Legislature they tried to remove $100,000 out of their budget, but that money was restored.
Dmitrich said the commission didn't want to create another state agency, so the coal mine safety office is within the Utah Labor Commission. Garth Nielson is the director of the newly created office. Dmitrich said, "People need to use the office and to call Garth and let him know what's going on. If a mine plan needs modification, the state office needs to be aware of that and offer input. Garth can review those plans. The office also has a toll free hotline number for the reporting of safety hazards where the caller can remain anonymous. Garth has been to the mines to meet with miners and he wants the miners to feel comfortable with him so they can take any concerns to him without repercussions."
Dmitrich referred to Brett Harvey's testimony before the mine commission about zero accidents. Harvey gave an excellent presentation about mine safety and how it is handled at Arch Coal.
"Utah has a good safety record. We had an excellent example of communication between agencies at Crandall Canyon. Everyone needs to stay involved. We need to work to ensure the ongoing funding for the Office of Coal Mine Safety," said Dmitrich.
Nielson introduced Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon who spearheaded the communications and the handling of Crandall Canyon and also the Wilberg Mine fire. Guymon said he has an awe and respect for coal miners. "It is important we do all we can to continue this industry," said Guymon. When he first became sheriff he had a staff of three and due to energy production in the county the monies have been there to now staff a fully trained office of deputies. Guymon said during his 34 years as sheriff he has had a lot of experiences. He handled the Wilberg Mine Disaster and he said they had no real understanding of what to do and what they needed to do it with. At Crandall Canyon the communication was much better. The role of law enforcement is to protect lives and property, keep order and to maintain the law. With Crandall Canyon part of their role was to respect private property which belonged to the mine owner. Certain perimeters were set-up and those perimeters were enforced throughout the disaster. The property was secured from the bridge to the mine. The families were secured first at the senior citizen center, Canyon View Junior High and as school started the families were moved to the Desert Edge Christian Chapel.
Guymon said he has very good men working for him and he assigned them to where they would fit in the best and that is where they stayed throughout the mine disaster. Sgt. Les Wilberg was assigned to the families and Capt. Kyle Ekker was assigned to the command post. Pastor Clapp helped with interpretation with the Spanish families.
"We tried to take into consideration the state of mind the families were in and act accordingly. We kept order as best we could. We found out the senior citizen's center didn't work, there was no way we could secure it, so we moved the families to the junior high. They were fed there and Huntington City jumped in with meals as well as local businesses donated meals to the rescue miners and the families.
"After a time the Red Cross and Salvation Army came on scene. The Red Cross helped with the families and the Salvation Army set up at the command center at the bottom of the Crandall Canyon road," said Guymon.
Guymon said it is important to establish contacts and meet people from the various organizations long before you have an emergency. A time of stress is not a good time to form relationships. Guymon said he didn't know who Bob Murray was but he did know a lot of the people who worked in and around the Crandall Canyon mine. He said it was so good to see a familiar face during that uncertain time.
"In law enforcement we spend a lot of time preparing for things that never happen. The morning of Aug. 6, 2007 at 4 a.m. I received a phone call saying there was a cave-in at Crandall Canyon and the initial response was to send an ambulance and a deputy to see what was going on. The response escalated from there. It is important to have training exercises. Even if it is just tabletop exercises. You need to take training exercises very seriously. At Crandall we immediately set up the command center which we purchased with grant money. It became a gathering place for the media and it was where the press briefings were held with MSHA and mine personnel. A satellite system was set up so we would have communication. A man I know from Channel 2 had a contact at Verizon so he called them and we almost immediately had a portable cell phone tower on site for cell phone use and it remained there until we left a month later.
"The media at the command center worked pretty well. We need education on how to handle the news media. They will report something, they will tell the story even if they have to find someone on the street to talk to. Bret Mills our communications guy, set up satellite service on the mountain so the news media could have internet service. We worked out a system for anyone who was allowed up to the mine site, there was also a list on who was allowed into the families. The EMTs stayed onsite at the mine from the beginning to the end. We had a full crew there at all times.
"You always get people who think they know more than you do. You always listen to them and then just stand up and take charge. We received a letter from Deer Creek Mine and they wanted us to go to their mine and meet their people and get to know them.
"We need to spend more time training miners. It's a mistake if we don't keep training and retraining. Sometimes people just don't want to spend the money. We were able to get a grant to put the Code Red system in effect in the county. We can call everyone in the county in the event of an emergency. If you are a coal mine, you can give us a list of the contact people we should contact in an emergency and we can notify all those people in a matter of minutes. We need to do a better job of preparing for these incidents. You will be judged on how you handle it. We all have a responsibility in a disaster. Every incident is different. Everything has to be taken into consideration, training and communications. Disasters will happen. Regulation is the key, but over regulation destroys everything. We need to keep coal mining premier in our communities. Everything in these communities will be impacted if coal goes away," said Guymon.
Nielson said his coal mine safety office is totally involved in emergency preparedness and to have the state and all its resources available for use in a quick and organized manner. Nielson mentioned a recent training at Dugout mine which he appreciated. The coal mine safety office worked hand in hand with the hospital and the safety team from the mine. Nielson is going to spend time going from mine to mine and collecting their emergency response plans. Some of the plans are very basic and some elite, but he is going to familiarize himself with each plan.

After weeks of speculation and rumors, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office report on the death of Michael Jackson has finally been released. Not only does officially it peg Jackson's death to the lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol in his system, but it also classifies the passing of the late pop legend as a homicide.
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3Lords of the Boredom Zone: Arhazivory Redsquirrel and Crossx21
I wonder why they ruled it homicide and not 'suicide'. That's also a possibility especially when one considers the emotional state he was in for.....as long as my memory serves me. It's not 'RIP' anymore.

count that as 1 dead body
{{{Wow, the econometric analysis required!!!}}}
We have a rape victim being transported to the hospital;
Mark that down a 1 rape victim.
{{{Hey, Riev, this is real hard isn't it???}}}
We have a guy beat to a pulp in the park and the witnesses say the other guy hit him with no cause.
Mark that down as an assult.
{{{Are we following the scientific process???}}}
So tell me, Riev, are you going to try an assult someone you know is packing a firearm?? Come on Riev, be honest, are you??? Are you going to try an rape a woman that you know has a gun on her??? Are you going to burlarize a house where you know a gun lives???

That is usually the idea when use links/urls. Rely on someone elses doggish stubborn research. Although Reiver is at least trying to use links from sources who take the subject seriously and not gutter rags by some other optimistic chatters.
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think the sardines will be thrown into the sea.
Statistics be (*)(*)(*)(*)ed. We are looking at numbers not SD. It is simple and data from governments is the best source. This data does show that when guns go out crime rises. The economic effects can be seen in higher jail populace and court, police and social service costs. Reiver wants to talk economic impact? I can play that game.
Number of recorded crimes
Violent crime
Violent crime includes homicide, assault, sexual assault, robbery and kidnapping
(sometimes referred to as abduction). Although robbery may include an element
of property crime, it is included as a violent crime, as the use or threat of violence
is a more serious offence than the theft.
Table 1 Victims of violent crimes, 1996–2008 (n)
Homicide Assault Sexual assault Robbery Kidnapping
1996 354 114,156 14,542 16,372 478
1997 364 124,500 14,353 21,305 564
1998 334 130,903 14,689 23,801 707
1999 385 134,271 14,699 22,606 766
2000 362 138,708 16,406 23,336 695
2001 347 152,283 17,577 26,591 767
2002 366 159,548 18,718 20,989 706
2003 341 157,280 18,025 19,709 696
2004 302 156,849 19,171 16,513 768
2005 301 166,507 18,695 17,176 729
2006 321 172,441 19,555 17,375 726
2007 283 176,427 19,781 17,996 733
2008 290 170,277 19,733 16,508 782
• Assaults continue to represent the majority of recorded violent crimes, with an
overall trend of increased offending since 1996. Although a decrease was recorded
between 2007 and 2008, there has been a 49 percent increase in assaults between
1996 and 2008. (1996 got rid of guns)
• Although sexual assault is one of the least reported types of crime, there was
an overall increase over the period 1996–2007[1996 got rid of guns] (although the number of assaults
decreased between 2007 and 200. The highest numbers of victims of sexual
assault and of assaults in general were recorded in 2007.
• For violent crime, the trend in the past five years has varied. Variability from year
to year is more pronounced in offences that have a smaller number of victims,
such as homicide.
70.28% increase in violent crime
17% popularion growth.
12 years 1996-2008
So there are the numbers for AU from the government. Would you like to see others that correlate? Hey the US with all of our guns is safer man.
Wait the crime rate in the US is going down.
But wait we have castle laws and kill a car jacker laws as well.

Beautiful shoe but uncomfortable
"The shoe is very pretty but after wearing it at a party for hours it became very uncomfortable. I wear relatively high heels daily but the fact that the heel is awkwardly placed more towards the arch of the foot makes this shoe difficult to wear while standing for hours. Received lots of compliments and still very happy with the shoe."

Cute but missed the mark
"True to size (5.5), but there was very wide gap/opening around the ankle, heel is set too far under the foot, makes it entirely too steep and uncomfortable-make work in larger size"

Looks good on...
"Very sexy shoe and looks great with the dress I bought them to go with. I ordered them in black so I will be able to wear them with a lot of dresses and skirts. Only complaint is the location of the heel of the shoe; it's located closer to the middle of the foot, by the arch, not the actual heel of your foot, so it makes for quite an uncomfortable standing experience. You do get a nice calf workout though!"

65% of Americans don't know what happened at the Constitutional Convention, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
The "Teaching American History" grants—the largest Federal program supporting history education—have been completely eliminated.

All along its 360-mile route, towns to which the canal gave birth are looking to its powerful ghost for economic revival.
Armed with a faded picture and a dream, we set out from the supermarket parking lot. Our quest: one of the last visible remnants of the old Erie Canal. We check our equipment, hike through the wilderness of SUVs and shopping carts, and toil up a slope. At the summit, a full minute later, we scout ahead. Nothing but trees. We spot some natives. Following their directions, we negotiate our way through a trackless wasteland. And there it is: the Erie Canal, covered with brush and trees and chest-high ferns.

The Macoupin County Courthouse, built in 1870, used to be the largest county courthouse in the United States, with the possible exception of one in New York City. It was even larger than the Illinois Statehouse. While the courthouse still serves as the seat of county government, it has also become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artists from across the country, as well as overseas.
The Historic District includes the Macoupin County Jail, Million Dollar Courthouse, and the largest collection of Sears & Roebuck mail-order homes in the U.S.
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail was designed by E.E. Meyers. It was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail.
Macoupin County Historical Society Museum
The Macoupin County Historical Society Museum is housed in the John Anderson mansion, originally built in 1883. The main house is a museum with exhibits that chronicle the development of Macoupin County and its citizens. In addition to the mansion, several other buildings on the grounds emphasize the county's history: a one-room schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, church, wash house, granary and herb garden.
One of the oldest colleges in Illinois, founded in 1837. Blackburn is also one of only seven colleges in the U.S. where students work in exchange for tuition credit, and the only one whose Work program is student-run. This keeps Blackburn's tuition among the lowest of all private colleges in the United States. Over the years, students have literally built Blackburn, brick by brick; the only college campus in the United States to be largely built by its students.
This memorial in Valley View Cemetery honors Edward Coles, the second governor of Illinois (1822-1826). A former slaveowner from Virginia, Coles became an abolitionist and won the 1822 gubernatorial election as the candidate of anti-slavery forces.
Madison County Historical Society Museum & Archives
The 1836 Weir House is filled with an amazing display of artifacts representing local and county history, in addition to a historic research library.
The Main Street Gallery was created to display the works of juried artist. The art is professionally shown and is available for sale. Blown glass, pottery, paintings, drawings, metalwork, and jewelry are just a few of the art pieces available.
Architectural Ceramics has a great selection of ceramics for home decor, gifts, and more.
Arts of Fire has a pottery painting studio, ceramics painting, silver jewelry, and parties.
Colonel Benjamin Stephenson House
This two-story brick home is a wonderful example of Federal-style architecture from 1820. Col. Stephenson, who was a contemporary of Lewis & Clark, moved there in 1809.
Edwardsville Children's Museum
The museum focuses on expanding young minds through a variety of educational programs. It is available for birthday parties and field trips.
Children's Museum of Edwardsville
Toddlers to 12-year-olds can enjoy the unique interactive exhibits and seasonal events at this fun children's museum.
Opened in 1909 as an opera house and a meeting hall for the Independent Order of Oddfellows, the Wildey has undergone many transformations through the years. The most recent one is a $2 million renovation inside and out.
Benjamin Godfrey Memorial Chapel
Originally called Monticello, the village of Godfrey was named for a Massachusetts sea captain, Benjamin Godfrey who founded the Monticello Seminary in 1838. One of the more rapidly growing Illinois community colleges, Lewis & Clark Community College, now calls the Monticello campus home. Located on the campus, the Benjamin Godfrey Chapel, built in 1854, has become a landmark in the community. This church has been designated as one of only six churches outside of the northeastern United States that are authentic copies of New England church architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
A beautiful sculpture of Sacagawea graces the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois. The piece was crafted by Glenna Goodacre who also designed the image on the Sacajewea $1 coin.
In the park next to Hamel School, this building was built between 1820 and 1852 and moved to Hamel in 1980. Artifacts from the period are displayed inside.
Historic Montgomery County Courthouse
This historic courthouse was built circa 1858.
This historic train depot features a preserved facade and a renovated interior that houses specialty shops.
Litchfield Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center
Designed to reflect the Route 66 era, the museum houses exhibits which focus on the roles the railroads, Route 66, businesses, agriculture, and the military have played in Litchfield's history.
Sky View Drive In - Litchfield
The Sky View Drive-In Theatre in Litchfield opened in the Spring of 1950 and has been in operation each season since then. We are a seasonal operation and run from the first or second weekend in April until the end of September. Open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only.
The Litchfield Carnegie Library building is originally funded by, industrialist and notable philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie, in 1904. The library is located in downtown Litchfield in the original building designed by architect Paul Moratz in the Classical Revival style.
The Sky View Drive In opened in the spring of 1951 and has been in seasonal operation since. It is the last remaining original operating drive-in theatre on Route 66 in Illinois.
Westside Cinema has been entertaining Litchfield and surrounding communities with first run movies for over 30 years.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – World No. 1 Tiger Woods drove a ball into a water hazard, made a bogey on a par-5, three-putted from six feet and made four bogeys during a demanding round Saturday in the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge at windswept Sherwood Country Club.
And he still kept the lead in the tournament he hosts and has won five times.
On a day that started in cold rain, broke into stout winds and ended in brilliant sunshine, Woods didn't lose any ground on the leaderboard despite an even-par 72, 10 shots worse than the day before when his 62 tied the course record. Heading into Sunday's final round, Woods is at 11 under par and two clear of Zach Johnson (72) and four ahead of Bubba Watson (69), who was one of only three players in the elite field of 18 to break 70.
"It was a tough day," said Woods, who salvaged his round with birdies on two of his last three holes. "The wind was all over the place. It was tough to pick clubs … it was so difficult to pick a club and commit to it."
PREVIOUSLY: Woods dazzles on Friday
Woods, however, was most displeased with one club – his putter. He needed 33 putts, five more than the 28 he used in shooting 62 in the second round. He had two three-putts and had trouble adjusting to the speed of the greens.
"I missed my share of putts," said Woods, who has finished runner-up four times here in addition to winning five times. "I didn't putt well.
" … I'm pleased with hanging on to the lead. I'm not pleased at how I putted. I left a few out there today."
A lot of players left a few in the water hazard fronting the downhill, par-3 15th hole situated in a small canyon. Eight players hit 11 balls in all into the hazard, including Johnson.
"I thought Zach hit it perfect," Woods said. "He hit a little cut five (iron) and it was right on the flag. I mean I thought it was the perfect flight to get there, but it ended up just shy, obviously. And I had 6, and I knew that if my ball kicked up at all, it wasn't going to get there, after seeing his ball get smoked at the end (by the wind). So I went ahead and flipped it over to the left and bailed out."
But Woods three-putted after reaching the green safely.
The 15 hole wasn't the only hole Johnson had trouble with concerning the wind. He shot 72 in a round that included six birdies, two bogeys and two double-bogeys, and afterward said he thought he only hit two bad shots. He'll be paired with Woods again in the final round.
"Today was tough," said Johnson, who has finished second here twice, including to Woods in 2001. "It was just hard. It was an all-around/commitment challenge, trust issues, etc., etc. etc. It was brutal.
" … But I didn't take myself out of it."

Playing For A Contract
Jonathan Willis
August 30 2011 05:11AM
The Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp, which will kick off in a couple of weeks in advance of their main training camp, features not just draft picks and signed players, but also a bunch of guys playing for a job.
Are any of them of interest as potential future NHL'ers? After the jump, we will look at each.
Garrett Clarke - Clarke, whose describes himself as having "the most durable suitcase in the CHL," is just about as famous as an undrafted defenseman can be. He ruffled feathers when he backed out of a commitment to the Fargo Force/University of North Dakota to play in the 'Q' after being drafted sixth overall in that league's entry draft. He's played for four teams in three seasons – including an ugly trade from Halifax that featured plenty of intrigue and hurt feelings.
Skill-wise, Clarke has a lot to offer. He's a super-pest, capable of driving opponents (and unfortunately, teammates) mad, and he adds a willingness to fight and offensive talent to the mix. The issues here revolve around his penchant for taking bad penalties, and the fact that he can't seem to avoid off-ice drama no matter where he goes. He's a boom-or-bust style invitation, and the Leafs' willingness to gamble on him could pay off.
Dave Cowan - If Cowan's name seems familiar, it should: he played at the Leafs' rookie camp last season. He's also surprisingly long in the tooth for a prospect – he'll turn 26 in December. Unfortunately, the 6'4" rearguard didn't get a full opportunity last season, as he took a hit in a rookie match against Pittsburgh and suffered a dislocated shoulder. He's a defensive defenseman who has spent his last four healthy seasons at Robert Morris University but missed all of last year. He has a contract with Toronto's ECHL affiliate.
Mitchell Heard - Heard is probably the highest profile unsigned player at this year's rookie camp, thanks to an offensive explosion at the Leafs' rookie tournament earlier this summer. He's slipped through the Entry Draft twice now, but has some offensive ability and put up decent numbers despite not getting any power play time.
Kyle Neuber - 16 games into his professional career, Neuber already finds himself with his third NHL organization. He was drafted as an overage player by Columbus in 2009, and had attended Canucks' training camp in 2008. He's an enforcer who barely played last season due to injuries, and that's the only role he'll ever fill: he had 31 points in 199 OHL games.
Mike Schwindt - Another defensive defenseman, Schwindt's offensive upside is extremely limited: in three OHL seasons he has just a single goal. He's 6'4" and plays a physical game, but he has also passed through the NHL Entry Draft twice already.
Matt Stanisz - It's really hard not to pull for Stanisz. He's not a goon, and he's not even a particularly punishing hitter. As Brock Otten of OHL Prospects tells us, he's something else entirely:
Stanisz isn't the biggest (about 6'1, 200lbs), nor is he the most physical defender, but he's quietly effective in his own end. He makes the smart play, keeps things simple and has been a highly positive (+/-) defender the past three seasons. This year, his offensive game was taken to that next level where he finished in the top 10 of defenseman scoring.
Otten also lists Stanisz as one of his top-10 overagers worth signing to an NHL contract.
Dennis Urban - Small, offensive defenseman came within two points of leading Robert Morris University in scoring last season. He finished second on the club (including among forwards) in points and shots, as well as first in assists and plus/minus. Remarkably, two-thirds of his points came at even-strength. He followed that performance up with nine points in 14 games with Toronto's ECHL affiliate and he's clearly a guy with offensive upside even at the professional level.
It's a really strong group of undrafted players, further evidence of Toronto's ability to attract this sort of player. Naturally, the odds are against each of them, but there is enough talent in the group that it bears watching.
For another take on this group, please see Leafs Prospects.
I am an Oilers fan and have nothing of value to offer.
August 30 2011, 09:57AM
This is the second article this week that has illustrated the benefits of ownership with deep pockets. Despite their struggles players are still willing to sign with the Leafs for the chance to either learn from Allaire, or be part of the re-build. Burke has done a nice job spending money outside the Cap.
August 30 2011, 11:14AM
Mitchell Heard? Never heard of him.
I'll show myself out.
I wish I commented as well as Kent Wilson.
If that Urban kid makes the cut, can we nickname him "Horse-famous"? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0881631/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89omer
I am not able to discern the difference between 'satirical' and just plain obnoxious.
August 30 2011, 07:46PM
I hope that the Leafs at the very least find a couple out of this crew that can either play for Reading or the Marlies.
I know you don't care if Oilers fans stop polluting your comments section so I'll let sleeping dogs lie and either comment more appropriately or stop commenting and reading.
ok. there is a way to deal with things and your way, editing. first time i have ever posted another site and no i wasn't being obnoxious (apparently that is your take on it tho). i was making light of the craziness on ON compared to LN.
i seen others from other sites come to ON and "pollute" the comment section there and apparently, in my eyes, you have decided to use me as your personal example today and yesterday.
i like the nation sites and i have never written maliciously or obnoxiously before so i'm not sure what reason i would start that now.
you have a problem tell me in with your own words and i will accept and eat crow if called for but to use edit as a means of correction is weak and lacking pr skills.
if i'm wrong i'm not too big to admit it and i apologize for writing something "of no value" on said site. learn to deal with these issues better.
by the way if you have name use it and stop hiding behind mine.
August 31 2011, 10:31AM
I'm just busting your balls now. The first comment you posted was completely useless and added nothing to the conversation.
Instead of coming in and writing "HARF HARF LAFFS PROSPECTZ GUNNA SUK" you could have written something along the lines of "it's interesting to see these kinds of players get a shot but based on how pervasive scouting of the NA junior leagues is what are the odds that any of these kids make an AHL or ECHL roster let alone an NHL one".
In that case you'd be making your original point (which is absolutely true) that these guys are basically scrapping the bottom of the barrel without being obnoxious.
With regard to the PR skills, fair enough but unfortunately, this platform doesn't allow me the same subtle tools that SBN's does in terms of letting commenters know when they're overstepping their bounds. This approach was funny for me and frustrating for you which worked out perfectly.
I'd rather have fewer quality remarks (yes, even rimshot jokes like Kent's) than more "FIST" remarks and their ilk and I've found that editing comments makes it pretty clear to the commenter that if they are going to comment here that their current approach isn't appreciated. So far it's worked as every commenter that has been hellbent on trolling has not returned to bother us. Maybe you'll be the first to reform their ways in which case you're more than welcome. Or maybe you won't. Either way, there's your explanation.
thank you for the response. i will contribute to the site more appropriately in the future.
everyone has to be called a troll at least once i suppose and this was my time.
i wish we could have cleared that up sooner.
in my mind at least all the players jw mentioned are at least a very very cheap gamble.
why play the dollar slots when you can play the nickel.
i'd lke to say i wish the leafs good luck but i am afraid i will spontaneously burst in flames if i do, so i will just wish the above players good luck on their journey.
August 31 2011, 11:26AM
I understand, if Oilers fans started wishing Leafs fans good luck then that's on the slippery slope towards wishing Flames fans luck and personally I won't stand for that.

Great LotionVery similar to Alba's Very Emollient Lotions in texture and overall feel. I purchased the citrus and am very pleased. The scent is not overwhelming, so it doesn't assault your senses, or your neighbors. The overall scent is fresh, clean and subtle. I took it with me on vacation to Mexico. The lotion performed beautifully in hot, humid conditions. It absorbs quickly, and NEVER feels sticky!! After abusing my skin in ocean and pool water, this lotion was great!..My skin feels soft, moisturized, with a clean citrus scent!

Cleveland Elementary Principal, Jeral Lofley encourages participation in Walk more in Four, "Last fall Cleveland Elementary participated in the Walk More in Four Challenge which is sponsored annually by the Utah Department of Transportation. Students who live within walking and biking distance from school were encouraged to walk or ride their bikes to school. Those students who usually ride the bus to school were encouraged to walk and bike safely in their neighborhoods. Students kept a record of their progress. Cleveland Elementary received third place in the state and $100 for participation in the Walk More in Four Challenge. Several students also received individual prizes.
"This year, the competition is from Tuesday, September 2 to Thursday, September 26. All Utah students are eligible to participate just by walking or biking to school at least three days a week for the four weeks in September. If students are unable to walk or bike to school due to distance, they can still participate by practicing safe habits while walking or biking in their neighborhoods. Students who successfully complete the challenge are eligible for the prize drawing, which has included new bikes, scooters and helmets.
"I urge all parents to help their children participate in this fun and rewarding program," said Principal Lofley.

Sugar Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen Mystery #6)
- Brief Synopsis:
- When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion--and the little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah Swensen leading the way.
- Long Synopsis:
- When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion--and the little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah Swensen leading the way. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook. The recently divorced Martin Dubinski arrives at the buffet with his new Vegas showgirl wife--all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife, however, seems as cool as chilled eggnog. And when Hannah's mother's antique Christmas cake knife disappears, its discovery in the décolletage of the new--and now late--Mrs. Dubinski puts the festivities on ice. With everyone stranded at the community center by a blizzard, Hannah puts her investigative skills to the test, using the ingredients at hand: half the town of Lake Eden--and a killer. Now, as the snowdrifts get higher, it's up to Hannah to dig out all the clues--and make sure that this white Christmas doesn't bring any more deadly tidings...

The Miss Emery Scholarship Pageant was held on Saturday in the Emery High Auditorium. Meagan Rogers was crowned Miss Emery 2003 with Cadence Tuttle as first attendant and Tawni Bigelow, second attendant. Dennis Worwood was the master of ceremonies for the evening. The welcome was given by Tyrell Jewkes, assistant Emery County Fair Director. The national anthem was presented by Aspen Bloomer who also performed a vocal solo and Cidnee Conder presented a jazz dance.
The Emery County Sweethearts presented a number, "This Land is Your Land" and the contestants were introduced. The contestants were Cadence Tuttle, Valee Jenkins, Megan Larsen, Tawni Bigelow, Candace Ungerman and Meagan Rogers. The first competition was the swimwear, lifestyle and fitness competition followed by the introduction of the judges. The sweethearts performed, "God Bless America" and "Fifty Nifty United States." Sumiko Tadehara performed a viola solo. The talent competition was held where Larsen performed a lyrical dance, Bigelow, Rogers and Jenkins performed vocal solos and Ungerman and Tuttle performed piano solos.
Miss Utah, Stacy Johnson and her attendant Carly Tooke were on hand at the pageant and added their talent and helped Worwood and Miss Emery 2002 Janell Jones with emcee duties. Johnson performed a vocal solo and Tooke performed a dance for the audience. Johnson is preparing for the Miss America pageant in September in Atlantic City and Tooke is preparing for the Sweetheart Pageant held in Indiana the end of August.
The onstage interview was next with each contestant answering a question on their platform and a random question asked by Worwood. A special ballet presentation by Samantha Behling, Shannon Erickson and Stacey Jewkes entertained the crowd between competitions. Brandon Singleton presented a piano solo and a special mother/daughter duet was sung by Laurie and Shala Pitchforth and Joan and Barbara Burke.
The evening wear competition was held and Janell's "Year in Pictures" was presented which detailed her year as Miss Emery. Randy Johnson from the Miss Utah board presented Jones with the Quality of Life runner-up award. Johnson then introduced Tyrell Wood who made a presentation of his own with a proposal of marriage to Jones. Jones accepted the proposal with a hug and kiss for Wood.
The evening concluded with the presentation of the Miss Emery 2003 royalty.

The UDM Law Community Service Committee recently organized a festive holiday party for 100 students, 100 parents, and the entire staff of Wayne Elementary School, a Detroit Public School.
It was truly an amazing afternoon filled with excitement, laughter, smiles, and goodwill. Everyone was fed a delicious, hot holiday meal followed by a visit with Santa. Santa was able to give each student two wrapped presents, a children's book, and a gift bag filled with hats, gloves, and school supplies. Each child also left with a photo of his/her visit with Santa and two bags filled with food and a toiletry bag. All of the wonderful donations were the result of the generosity of many in the UDM Law community. The day proved without a doubt that it is sincerely better to give than to receive!

This is what I'm going to start doing for my adult reviews of books that are later in a series (first in a series will be a more full length review). Because I don't want it to be spoilery for the previous books in the series I won't include descriptions and I'll be vague about plot points. Mostly talking about character development and if I'm happy with how the series is turning out.
A Tale of Two Goblins (Dulcie O'Neil #2) by H.P. Mallory
Adult Urban Fantasy/ Paranormal Romance
Kindle book,
Published March 21st, 2011
Source: Purchased
I read the first book over a year ago but then my ereader broke before I got a chance to read the second one. So as soon as I got a kindle this was the first book I started reading on it. And I was very glad to be transported to Dulcie's world once again.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Dulcie. I like her and I think she's totally kick ass and is about the best friend a girl could have, but she can be a bit annoying with her determination to not fall in love with any man. I just wish she would stop being so determined to say no! But on the other hand some of the men are a bit forward with her and that would be kind of annoying after awhile as well. Overall the romance aspect of the book wasn't really my thing even though I can say I totally think the romantic interest is H.O.T. I just needed them to do it already! I do think that the next book may make me happier in the romance department though.
I really enjoyed the mystery and while there weren't really enough clues to really figure it out it was fun watching it all unfold. And stressful because your just waiting for something horrible to happen. But somehow these books aren't dark and scary, Dulcie definitely lightens them up and keeps them fun even when horrible and scary things are happening.
H.P. Mallory is a great writer and I'm anxious to read more by her. I love the world she's created in this series and am curious how her other series is. I'll definitely be continuing this series as well, I'm dying to see where things are going to go now!

When I'm shooting on the Sony FS100 camera, the tripod is solid. I can frame my shot in an external monitor; check focus and IRE in an EVF; adjust focus and zoom; add light, if necessary; and record 1920x1080p HD video from 26Mb/sec up to 1240Mb/sec. The key difference is having a good camera support system. A good starting point is a rod system. I've been testing the Berkey System components on the Sony FS100 with good results. I use a set of the Berkey System 12-inch and 6-inch rods. The rods screw together to create the 18-inch length that I need for bigger jobs. Even the 12-inch rods have enough room to mount a Petroff Mini Follow Focus and a JBK Cinequipt Follow Focus unit for focus and zoom control. I start with the 12-inch rods and add the 6-inch rods, depending upon how much extra gear I'm using with the camera.
The Berkey System baseplate designed specifically for the Sony FS100 (to connect the rods to the camera) is rock solid, even with all of my accessories attached. I also use the company's FS100 cheese plate mounted to the top of my camera to mount some of my other accessories.
The Berkey System lens support is also a handy tool. A common problem with smaller cameras is their inability to shoot a presentation from the back of the room. I solved this problem by adding a Tamron 200–500mm lens to the front of my FS100 camera via a Dot Line Corp. Nikon lens adapter. This allows for a head-and-shoulders shot from 50 feet away and a head-to-toe (or tighter) shot from up to 150 feet away. The lens is great but heavy — if it were not properly supported, it would tear the camera mount from the front of my camera. The Berkey System lens support locks on to the front of my rod system and screws into the mount on the bottom of the lens. In addition to offering lens support, it also stabilizes the lens to keep everything solid during camera movement.
When I first received my Sony FS100 camera, I found myself desperately in need of a camera support system. On a 10-hour shoot, the batteries in my external viewfinder died after two hours of use. Luckily, I wasn't using an external recorder so my recording came out fine. As I added accessories, I also found that I needed a power system that could support my camera and all of the extra gear. Having five batteries of three different types — all needing charging several times a day — just wasn't working for me in the real world. I decided to find a power system that could power my whole rig in a professional manner while using just a single battery.
First, I mounted the Berkey System VersaPlate on the rods behind the camera. On the VersaPlate I mounted an Anton/Bauer Gold Mount battery to power some of my accessories. This changed, however, when I opted for the whole Anton/Bauer power system, which included the company's MATRIX cheese plate. The advantage of this plate is that it's already predrilled for its Gold Mounts. The first thing that gets mounted to the cheese plate is the QR PD HDV adapter, which is a Gold Mount with a cable that plugs into the FS100, replacing the Sony battery.
Since I have so many accessories, I needed more outlets to plug them into, so a QR QUAD PT got mounted on top of the QR PD HDV adapter. This gave me four more places to plug in a PowerTap connector. And since there's also an outlet on the QR PD HDV adapter, I ended up with a place to plug in five accessories. I now find that there's more to a power system than just having enough outlets for everything. Having the proper type of battery is important when running a lot of accessories, because drawing more watts than a battery can deliver can damage the battery. (There have been stories of fires and battery explosions, but I will spare you the details.) I used the Anton/Bauer Dionic HCX battery. Offering 124 watt hours, it can power up to a 25-watt light and another 75 watts for the camera, recorder, viewfinder or external monitor. Since I have 10- and 25-watt lights, that leaves about 100 watts for the other accessories.
Here's a list of the accessories that I tested and how they were connected. First, the Sony FS100 camera is connected via the cable from the QR PD HDV adapter. Next, the DP4 Electronic Viewfinder from SmallHD is connected by the Gold Mount cable (sold for $20 on the company's Website). The ULHM-LED package from Anton/Bauer is a dimmable on-camera LED light. This kit consists of a base that can be mounted in a hot shoe or onto a cheese plate. Depending upon your situation, you can pop on the ULMH-LED 10-watt LED light, the 25-watt Ultralight 2 for tungsten, or the UltraDAYlight for HMI. The LED light also comes with a diffuser and two orange color-correction gels to color-correct the light for indoor use. This light rocks, drawing its power from the Dionic HCX via the PowerTap cable. I also use a Plura Broadcast PBM-070 7-inch monitor, which needs an XLR type of power connection. Anton/Bauer offers the PowerTap 28 XLR cable. This 28-inch power cable plugs into the Gold Mount with an XLR power connector that plugs into the back of the monitor on the other end.
The HyperDeck Shuttle recorder from Blackmagic Design is a great way to record 10-bit uncompressed full-raster, high-definition video, but it comes with a built-in battery that needs to be charged every hour or so. My solution was to cut the cable on an old power supply that fit into the recorder, and attach a male PowerTap connector to plug into the Gold Mount. There's also a need for solid camera support. I use a Miller 20 tripod because I like the fact that the legs can be locked in one of two positions: a narrow stance (like most tripods) or a wide stance that's great for stability (with a teleprompter or a camera with a long lens and a lot of accessories).
Bottom line, buying a new camera is just the beginning of the journey. Your camera support and power system will ultimately determine the effectiveness of your rig and the quality of the images that you produce.

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
Digital imaging technology has come a long way since Kodak scientists introduced the first commercial megapixel sensor in 1986. Shortly thereafter, in 1987, Kodak released a handful of products for recording, storing and printing "electronic still video images." In 1990, Kodak developed the Photo CD system and proposed "the first worldwide standard for defining color in the digital environment of computers and computer peripherals." The first professional digital camera, released in 1991, was the Nikon F-3, and was powered by a Kodak 1.3 megapixel sensor.
Over the last decade, the evolution of the digital camera has taken an enormous step forward. Today's state-of-the-art digital SLRs boast quality and capability that rival those of traditional cameras. Costs of digital cameras, storage media and accessories are dropping significantly, making the technology more available to the general public.
Today's digital cameras come even closer to eliminating guess work. A person needs only to point the camera and press a button and the camera does all the thinking on its own, producing crisp, high quality images that can be conveniently printed at home.
So does a digital camera automatically make someone a good photographer? Absolutely not. Good photography skills require time, experience, and artistic talent and has nothing to do with the camera.
So why are digital cameras suddenly so popular?
1) Results. Digital cameras provide instant results that can be viewed directly on the camera itself, printed instantly on properly equipped printers, or downloaded to the PC for viewing.
2) Quality. Digital cameras have caught up with film cameras in many instances, and in some areas, surpassed them.
3) Convenience. Sliding a media card into the camera is much easier (and faster) than trying to load a roll of film into a typical film camera.
4) Added Features. Many digital cameras can apply added effects to the photos as they are taken, such as sepia tone, enhanced color correction, grey scale, added sharpness, etc. without expensive lens filters.
Digital cameras, are not, however, necessarily superior to film cameras. In fact, neither is superior to the other in every instance. Not every digital camera is created equal, nor is every film camera the same. There are major trade-offs between the two types which must be taken into consideration, such as:
1) Higher power requirements. Digital cameras generally require higher power requirements than film cameras. Expensive batteries are often needed, which can entail frequent recharges.
2) High cost of equipment. Digital cameras and applicable accessories typically cost many more times than film-based equivalents.
3) Learning curve. Although the digital cameras of today are very easy to use, many still feel intimidated by their complexity.
4) Weight. Due to the additional electronic requirements, digital cameras tend to be heavier than their film equivalents, especially in larger, SLR models.

A wedding supplies retailer keeps the site search bar before consumers at all times.
Thad Rueter
What's purple, appears lighter than air and generates e-commerce sales? The floating search bar used by American Bridal. As a consumer scrolls down the retailer's web page, the bar containing the box for site search—shaded a feminine tone that wouldn't be out of place at a wedding—floats at the top, like a balloon bobbing against the ceiling. Within its left half, the bar also displays discount offers—in late October, 15% off orders of $75 or more, and 20% off orders of more than $150. Roughly a year after its introduction, the average order value for shoppers using the site search tool was $105, nearly 24% more than the $85 for shoppers not using it, says Jon Hawkins, senior e-commerce manager at XO Group, which owns the e-commerce site.

Love 'em
"Gorgeous in person - as a bona fide shoe snob (just sayin), I don't normally buy Made in China (hard to do these days, and especially annoying considering "high end" designers who ask hundreds of dollars for them) - but SM tends to be a pretty solid brand, and these are leather uppers at least. The color is as pictured and it's gorgeous. They are true to size, and the fit is great (nice toe cleavage!). The platform makes the height comfortable and they are easy to walk in (no heel slip, no sliding); However, I'd refer to these as "sittin pretty" shoes - the incline is extreme enough that they aren't made for walking around all day. They do have very decent padding.For the price (on sale for $60 with a coupon for $40 from DSW) - couldn't beat it. Love em."
