At the May meeting of the Castle Valley Special Service District, Darrel Leamaster explained the situation surrounding the projects completed by the district in 2005. "It's a sad situation," he stated. "We were reimbursed by Huntington and Castle Dale for some of the work done in those cities, but we ended the year more than $84,000 over budget. This overrun was taken from the debt service fund," said Leamaster.
He then explained that at a meeting with the Utah Department of Transportation, the state engineer told all the planners to add 20 percent to all estimates for a contingency factor. The price of materials and fuel is rising so fast, it is their hope that this 20 percent will cover the overruns this year.
Paul Crawford, president of the board for the special service district, stated that all of the curb and gutter projects are expected to be higher due to inspection costs. He also noted that those projects are the ones in which the residents make the most requests for changes.
Leamaster explained that he had gone to the community impact board and requested extra funds to cover the rapidly rising cost, and that board has given the district another $250,000. "Even with the extra money, we have had to cut several blocks from curb and gutter projects for this year and one street in Castle Dale. There is absolutely no money this year for extras. Sometimes after a project begins, the city in which the project is happening, will come to us with change requests. This year there is no room for change. Meetings with property owners will be scheduled to inform residents ahead of time what will be taking place on or near their property. The engineers and city officials will set up these meetings," said Leamaster.
In the crack sealing project in Cleveland and Elmo, an additional six tons of material was needed to complete the project. The material has been ordered and the project will be completed soon. Following the crack sealing, Hales Construction will come in and lay patches where needed. Beginning early or mid June, the chip sealing project for the streets in those two towns, will start.
As for drainage projects, four towns in Emery County will be having work done. Huntington, Castle Dale, Orangeville and Emery have projects that are under way. Due to the difficulty in getting the pipe needed for the projects, the district board approved to change to a similar type of pipe that is easier to acquire for those jobs. Changing the type of pipe will lower the cost of the projects.
Every town in Emery County will see some street work during the summer months. Nielson's Construction is the contractor for those projects, and the contract signing and preconstruction meetings are underway.
Dal Hansen Construction has been awarded the contract to do the curb and gutter work this summer. One block has been eliminated in Ferron, and one in Orangeville has been changed to another street. The preconstruction meetings for the curb and gutter projects will be held soon.
Jamie Luce and Jenna Madsen have been hired to work as receptionist and accountant. Luce will work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and Madsen will be in the office on Thursday and Friday.
Leamaster informed the representatives from each city that the 2007 projects list must be turned into the district by July 1. Due to the difficult engineering and estimation procedures dealing with the rising costs of construction, the district will need a little added time to get their requests into the CIB by August. These lists will deal only with roads, curb, gutter, water, sewer, drainage and secondary water issues.
At a recent Association of Special Districts meeting, Leamaster was informed that each special service district in the state should have bylaws in place. "We have never had any bylaws due to attorney opinion when we first formed the district in 1976-1977. Our attorney now thinks we should have them," stated Leamaster. The board approved to begin the process of drawing up bylaws for the district.
Leamaster announced that the county has dropped several B and C roads, and he suggested that the board look into updating the maps. The current maps have not been updated since 1999, and Leamaster feels it would be advantageous to begin the process. The board approved, and instructed Leamaster to set up a meeting with Morris Sorensen of the county road department.

Open house scheduled on Oct. 6 for former publisher
On Sept. 17, Brehm Communications announced that Ken Larson, who has been the publisher of the Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress for the last four years, will move to a similar position with the company in Palm Springs, Calif.
"Ken has done a very good job for our company in this area and now he is moving on to help us with some other publications we have in southern California," stated company president Bill Brehm Jr. during the local newspapers' employee appreciation party.
Larson has served as the local publisher since November 2001 when he was moved from a general manager's position in newspapers owned by the company in Bullhead City, Ariz.
Larson has been splitting his time between Utah and California since April, working with The Entertainer, a magazine the company owns in Palm Springs and managing operations for a small newspaper for retirees in the same area.
A new publisher for the Sun Advocate and the Emery County Progress has not been named at this time, but Richard Shaw, who is the general manager of the Carbon and Emery County newspapers, will perform the duties until a replacement is selected.
Larson has been active in many civic organizations, including the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club.
Larson is scheduled to make his last official visit to the Castle Valley area in early October.
On Oct. 6, an open house will be presented in Larson's honor starting at 3 p.m. at the Sun Advocate offices, located at 845 East Main in Price.
Brehm Communications is a family owned company headquartered in San Diego, Calif. The company operates more than 50 newspapers and magazines at locations spread across a large geographic area from Indiana to the West Coast.

Calamities will befall the inhabitants of Jerusalem—For them the harvest is past, the summer is ended, and they are not saved.

I've recently had some peers read my blog and comment how they recognize hoarding tendencies in themselves. It's easy to think that hoarding is something only common in seniors, but the road to compulsion can be long and gradual. Perhaps it started with a junk drawer in the kitchen. And then maybe a closet stuffed so full it the door barely closed. And suddenly, here you are with piles past the windows and goat paths from room to room.
Peter Walsh, the organizing expert from TLC's Clean Sweep, posted this article the other day. What's Your Clutter Style? It's an interesting read, and you just might find yourself reflected in his definitions. I know I certainly did. Is it possible to have 5 different clutter styles? If I have so many clutter styles, does that mean I'm "hoarding" clutter styles? 😉
According to Peter, the 5 different styles of clutter are:
- The Behind-Closed-Doors Clutterer
- The Knowledge Clutterer
- The Techie Clutterer
- The Sentimental Clutterer/Family Historian
- The Bargain Shopper/Coupon Clutterer
I'm looking around my office, which serves as my craft room, too. I've got a closet full of fabric and computer parts. A few drawers of patterns and more pattern books on the shelves. USB keys and random cords in various bins and baskets. Several thousand photos I've taken of my family (in print and digital formats). I'm not necessarily a coupon clutterer, but I appreciate a good bargain when I see one…that might be why I have a stack of empty picture frames under the desk.
It's a slippery slope, I think. By starting this blog, I'm really going to have to take a closer look at my own "saving" habits. I have many interests, but can't really fulfill them because I don't have an organized space. I'm feeling a hard core purge coming on. Spring Fever might have something to do with it. It's only early March, and the weather is so mild here I've already spotted robins and crocuses this week. It's a good time to open the windows, open some trash bags, and open my doors to having visitors.
So, what do you think? Do you see yourself in Peter's descriptions? I'd love your feedback and comments.

AHHHHH! Comfort
"My last pair of sneakers had lost their cushioning and my foot was killing me. I felt like I was walking on the bone of the ball of my foot. I tried on several pairs of sneakers, but as soon as my foot slipped into these I knew I had found a solution. They were the right width and there was room for my toes. I was wearing them in the store while looking for a second pair and was so comfortable in them I decided to buy a second pair of Pumas. If you are looking for foot relief, definitely give these a try!"

Serena Event
Thursday, 14th November at 11am (UK Time: GMT)
Keeping track of application development can be a challenge. New Requests and demands for updates come through from business users all the time, while focusing on what is the highest priority also has to be managed. So how do you plan ahead?
For application development teams, ranking and analysing what tasks have to be carried out and when, is a necessary skill to develop. However, many teams still don't have the right skills to keep up with where their organisation wants to be, and they can often underestimate how long it will take to get work completed. Agile development helps teams to be more productive and focus on work that will deliver business value, bit it only takes you so far.
To improve this situation, teams can visualise and plan their development more efficiently with tolls that map out the overall workflow from initial demand through to final release and delivery.
Kevin Lee from Serena Software will go into how development teams can adopt better planning and prioritisation, as well as how to feed that information back to the business.
Topics to be discussed:
This web conference will be hosted by:

Virgin Blue Holdings Limited Interim Results for the 12 months ended 31 March 200518/05/2005
$138.1 million Net Profit After Tax
Virgin Blue Holdings Limited today announced a 12.9% decrease in net profit after tax to $138.1 million for the 12 months ended 31 March 2005, in line with profit guidance previously given by the Company.
The summary financial results for the year are as follows:
12 months to 31 March 05
12 months to 31 March 04
|$1,669 million
|$1,362 million
|$417 million
|$409 million
|EBITDAR margin
|$197 million
|$218 million
|EBIT margin
|Profit before Tax (PBT)
|$194 million
|$226 million
|PBT margin
|Net Profit after Tax
|$138 million
|$159 million
|Basic earnings per share
|13.4 cents
|17.3 cents
|Cost per Available Seat Kilometre
|7.49 cents
|8.16 cents
Virgin Blue's EBITDAR (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation and aircraft rentals) and profit before tax margins were 25.0% and 11.6% respectively. Despite an increase in fuel costs of 60% and airport charges of almost 40%, Cost per Available Seat Kilometre (ASK) for the 12 months to 31 March 2005 reduced to 7.49 cents (down from 8.16 cents for year to 31 March 2004), with a cost per ASK for the 6 months to March 2005 of 7.71 cents.
Capacity (as measured by ASKs) increased by 40% during the 12 months, as Virgin Blue increased its average aircraft for the 12 months by 36% (from 34.9 to 47.5 aircraft). Passenger numbers increased to 12.8 million, up 27% on the prior period. Frequencies were increased on existing domestic routes and 7 new routes were added building Virgin Blue's national network to 300 flights daily to 23 Australian destinations.
In the highly competitive domestic environment, Virgin Blue has maintained its 2004 position, controlling one third of the market, whilst Qantas has reduced it's market share to just over 50%, having passed some12% of it's share to Jetstar during the last 12 months.
Virgin Blue's international subsidiary Pacific Blue, which only commenced flying in January, 2004 operated profitably in its first 12 months and by 31 March, 2005 had expanded trans-Tasman flying operations to, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Cook Islands.
Total revenue increased by 22% to $1.67 billion, with scheduled revenue up 21%, as passengers carried increased 27% to 12.8million and yield fell 5.6%.
Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) were 15.0 billion and ASKs were 19.6 billion, up 30% and 40% respectively from the prior year. Load factor declined to 77.7%, down 4.9 points from 2004.
The financial performance of the Company for the 12 months was significantly impacted by two main factors - record increases in the cost of jet fuel, and the continuing escalation of airport charges. Total operating costs were $1.47 billion, up 28.6% ahead of the previous year
Jet fuel prices increased in the last quarter to a record high of US$70 per barrel, an increase of approximately US$25 per barrel above the average price Virgin Blue paid for fuel during the year. In total, fuel costs increased by 60% compared to the prior period, against a 40% increase in production (ASK's).
Changes in charging regimes and deregulated pricing have seen airport charges to airlines increase dramatically. Airport fees now account for 15% of Virgin Blue's operating cost base and remain a serious concern for both the company and the aviation industry.
Against the challenge of a 28.6% increase in it's operating costs, economies of scale, currency benefits, and cost and productivity initiatives implemented by management during the 12 months has resulted in an 8.2% drop in CASK from 8.16 cents to 7.49 cents for the full 12 months.
Balance sheet and cash flow
Cash balances increased from $469 million to $662 million during the year, giving Virgin Blue 164 days operating cash reserves as at 31 March 2005, up 14 days over 2004.
Capital expenditure during the 12 month period was $426 million. This included eight new aircraft, aircraft related expenditure and terminal infrastructure.
The company's net debt to net debt plus equity ratio was 61% down from 66% as at 31 March 2005.
The challenges of 2004/5 will be carried forward into 2005/6, with the dual threats of record fuel prices and continuing yield pressure foremost. Guidance given by management earlier this year has changed little, and the uncertainty of unchecked airport pricing only adds to these concerns.
The next 12 months will be a period of consolidation for the Company, with more moderate levels of capacity growth planned, down from the exceptional growth of 50% experienced in 2003/4 and 40% in 2004/5. This will allow the airline to focus on product and service development, and on improving the quality of its revenue streams.
"Having secured over 30 percent of the Australian domestic market, we are now focused on strengthening our network, developing our product for the business market and steadily building our presence as the low fare value based carrier in our region.
We now have the size, scale and frequency to truly address the needs of Australia's business travelers, and we are determined to bring even greater value to business travel, just as we brought lower airfares permanently to the leisure market," said Brett Godfrey, Chief Executive Officer.
The airline will introduce further innovative initiatives this year that will help drive higher yielding business whilst keeping its cost base competitive and ensuring it does not lose touch with the price sensitive leisure segment.

This fish oil is good, taste is okay, but I prefer the fish oil from Nature's Answer.
Excellent rpoduct
Posted by Reviewer2549098 on Mar 02, 2008
Truly one of the finest fish body oils on the market. If your current brand of fish oil tastes or smells overtly fishy, and/or leaves you with fish burps - chances are it's rancid and doing a sub-par job of supply you with omega-3's.
Best Tasting, Most Tolerated Fish Oil
Posted by Reviewer3085488 on Jun 18, 2009
Carlson's Very Finest Lemon flavored Fish oil is fantastic. It's mild lemon flavor and light base fish oil has a wonderful taste with no fishy after effects! No fishy smell and very high in EPA (800) and DHA (500). This powerful, and yet very pure, contaminant free fish oil can't be beat. After just a few weeks of taking it; my inflamed knees feel great. After trying many others; I'm sold on this product. I also found that adding fresh herbs like thyme, basil, parsley and sweet onion chopped up fine with just a touch of lime juice makes a super salad dressing. iHerb does a great job on packing & wrapping it. They enclose it in bubble wrap; and ship the same day you order.
Love it!
Posted by Reviewer2033714 on Jan 28, 2010
I mix it into a drink of superfood powder, whey protein, and juice each morning. It's also great added to a glass of veggie juice! Either way, it adds a wonderful lemon flavor. Carlson's is the only brand I will use.

So much easier than taking 4-5 capsules a day and this fish oil has no fishy taste or smell. I do notice an improvement in mood and it definitely helps with joint pain as well.
OK product
This fish oil is good, taste is okay, but I prefer the fish oil from Nature's Answer.
Posted by Reviewer2245916 on Nov 26, 2010
The whole family takes this. It has very little taste, very mild.
Surprisingly good taste

Good product

We will lead off by saying that we get excited about the Olympics. A 13 year old girl at a Justin Bieber autograph signing type excited. So you will have to take us with a grain of salt once the games kick get underway as we post 12,789 gushing comments like "Aren't the Canadian Mens' two man bobsled team the BOMB? Can you believe that Lyndon Rush won't sled with Pierre Lueders anymore? What's up with that?"
Most people are going into these games with the attitude of "Olympic hockey is the only thing that matters and don't waste my time with anything else." We can respect the fact that the Ice Hockey is numbero uno prioritato at these here games and we can guarantee that you can get your Olympic Hockey fix right here provided you are cheering on the home team.
And while the 3 Nations are temporarily coming together for a common cause, it in no way means that we have anything in common with that TLP – who we might add is an American and probably holds out some sort of weird hope that Ron Wilson can Coach the Red White and Blue to a fourth place finish.
Cheering for Team Canada is going to be a damn sight better than the status quo up here in Edmonton, which has consisted lately of 12,789 articles about "who gets traded when and for what" and researching "all time losses in a row." In fact it might be difficult for us to get our collective Oilers loving heads around cheering for hockey that matters again, but we are going to give it a shot.
Plus, there isn't a single Oiler on Team Canada, which will give all of us pain stricken Oilers fans a two week break from having our hearts kicked in by the same old suspects on a nightly basis without being a turncoat and cheering for a different team. It's basically one of the first win-win scenarios we have seen here in awhile.
To kick off the Olympic fun, we are going to give you a quick breakdown of some Olympic Hockey Biz. Let's start getting our heads in the game Nations.
Remember the 2006 games in Turin? Wasn't that just the worst thing that ever happened ever? For the thousands of four year old Nation readers out there who may not remember the last Olympics and might think that the greatest hockey country in the world finished respectably, think again.
Final Standings – 2006 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey
1. Sweden (Gold)
2. Finland (Silver)
3. Czech Republic (Bronze)
4. Russia
5. Slovakia
6. Switzerland
7. Canada
8. United States
9. Kazakhstan
10. Germany
11. Italy
12. Latvia
You might look at the top of the standings and ask yourself "Gee whiz, where's the Canadian team? I could swear we sent all our best players over to Italy to play…" Look down the ladder. Waaaaay down there to 7th place. Yep, that's right. 2 spots ahead of the birth place of Borat sits the Canadian team. Small consolation that we finished ahead of the Americans when you let the Swiss finish ahead of you in the standings.
Ugh. The Swiss.
You have to think that the Canadians – and the Americans for that matter – are looking for sweet, sweet revenge at these here Olympic Games. Before we start pumping ourselves up about the new roster, we thought we would take a look back at the roster that screwed the pooch back in '06 and see who is returning to dispense some West Coast Payback on our collective behalf.
2006 Olympic roster
G Martin Brodeur (back)
G Roberto Luongo (back)
G Marty Turco (gonzo)
D Rob Blake (A) (gonzo)
D Jay Bouwmeester (gonzo)
D Adam Foote (gonzo)
D Bryan McCabe (gonzo)

Oh man, it is no small wonder that the Canadians did so crappy in 2006? Do you see who some of these players are? Kris Draper? Todd Bertuzzi? Bryan McCabe? Har har har har har!
*wipes eyes, blows nose*
That's good stuff. Let's look more in depth at the changes to the squad.
Turco is out, Fleury is in and this will be Brodeur's squad to lead onto the ice in Van City. Nothing too crazy here we don't think. Turco is getting a bit long in the tooth and MAF has won a Cup and theoretically has what it takes to win big games. We would clearly consider this Brodeur's squad though and Fleury is in charge of sitting in the stands near the bench, looking as cool as he can muster and telling girls in the bar that he is "an Olympic gold medalist in training."
Amazingly, only one defenseman from 2006 is returning to the Olympic Team; world famous baby daddy Chris F.U. Pronger. Technically Niedermayer was on the 2006 squadron too, but an injury took him out of the lineup and threw McCabe in. The idea that some of these players were the best defenseman that the 2006 Edition of Canada could produce is a tad alarming.
This 2010 edition being iced is certainly a superior squad, younger, tougher and much more sexy with the deletion of Adam Foote. Some of the '06 defensemen led to a hearty round of laughter and table smashing here at OilersNation HQ. McCabe? Redden? Please, our sides are hurting. Wade Redden couldn't be loved less in NY and McCabe has gone to Florida where NHL'ers retire 4 years before they actually leave the league.
10 forwards aren't coming back from last Olympics and that is just A-OK from where we sit. This is certainly a new squad, let's hope there is going to be a different result. We are pumped beyond belief to see the Corey Perrys the Ryan Getzlafs of the world in a Team Canada Jersey. Finally we too can cheer for some players that have been sticking it to the Oil for what seems like hundreds of years without guilt of abandoning the home squad.
Ladies and Gentlemen – your 2010 Olympic Roster

Yes Amanda, we are number one.
We are the same guy who picks Oilers in every single hockey draft every single year regardless of how the team is actually going to look. Our 933rd place standing in the NationDraft will attest to that and so it should come as no surprise that we are going to pick Canada to win Gold. But unlike picking Comrie to outscore Bobby Ryan (which we also did) we think that the Canadians actually will win Gold, picking with our brains over our hearts.
Predicato del resultat:
1. Canada (Gold)
2. Russia (Silver)
3. Sweden (Bronze)
4. Finland
5. United States
6. Czech Republic
7. Slovakia

February 12 2010, 03:00PM
Great new look to the site men. It was a refreshing change to see the mighty red of our nation up to replace the bland taste of copper n blue!! Can't wait for the puck to drop on this tournament. GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!!
Oh goodness me do I ever have a raging Olympic boner right now. After all these months of being groin-kicked by a lackluster hockey squadron, all the cheers have built up and are ready to be unleashed in the next 2 weeks of Canaian domination.
Isn't this where SOMEBODY should drop a "Let's DOOoooOOO this" or some such?
ps. site looks SICK
pps. Happy Birthday Amanda!
Site looks great boys. Go Canada!
I say they send a team of the NHL's most "talented" group of Ice Girls to Vancouver. This would do wonders in getting the Amercian TV audience focussed on the tournament. Watch the ratings soar!
Work on that would ya Wanye....
@I'm a Scientist!
Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy. Oly hockey!!!!! Cheering for a talented, winning team will be neat-o, weird, but definitely neat. Neat!
That was directed at all, not just Scientist. Reply all.

This may be old news to some but I can't believe NBC isn't showing the US v. Canada game on the main station and is relegating it to MSNBC so it can show *shudder* ice dancing.
One more reason why we should have more teams in north of the border. At least I won't have to hear Bob Costas talking about hockey.
February 12 2010, 03:22PM

February 12 2010, 03:29PM
I don't know why some people come to this site and bitch that there isn't enough TOI stats and other hockey related talk.
This all seems like perfectly valid and legitimate Olympic talk to me.
*puts figure skates on hands and feet and clomps around room like some sort of figure skating horse*
Still in the skin-tight ski suit?

You can go ahead and wash that shame down with some 'Amanda Cake'.

~Great. I spent all that time Photoshopping Gregor's Canucks ice-girl into the proper Oiler attire, and now I've got to start all over again and suit her up for Canada.~

Careful everyone, the Amanda cake is full of Gold medals wrapped in wax paper and/or Saran Wrap! And probably dusted with figure skate rust thanks to Wanye.
February 12 2010, 03:38PM
May I have some Amanada cake too?
*hopefully holds out plate with skates still on hands*
I'd rather have some Amanda pie. Wait, is that inappropriate? We're talking about Ice Girls aren't we ...
I'm really upset that there is no token penalty killer on this team. We will be lost without a Kris Draper or a Rob Zamauner~
I dunno man. I have the Olympic medal, medal count, strong & free banner, but I don't have red & white stripe at the top or the maple leaf in the background. The new ON & CA both show up the same.

Seriously, looking at that 1998 roster makes my eyes bleed. Rob Zamuner? Shayne Corson? Trevor Linden? I can't believe they even got to the semis.

Good call. They should make Horcoff a late callup injury replacement for Getzlaf instead of that bum Jeff Carter. I've got 5.5 (or 7) million reasons why he is all kinds of awesome, and super-valuable for this team.~

Well, uhhh, hmmm, I, uhhh.....
We bleed Oil here, I see you don't. You should have a doctor have a look at that.

Amanda cake is not good for horses. Trust me, I'm a Scientist.

BLM Issues Two Lease Modifications for West Elk Mine in Gunnison County
LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Today, the Bureau of Land Management in Colorado issued two lease modifications totaling 1,721 acres for the West Elk Mine to extend mining operations up to three years and recover roughly 10.1 million tons of coal.
The coal leases are operated by the West Elk Mine on United States Forest Service and private lands. As the surface managers, the USFS completed and approved an Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision to modify the leases in August 2012, which the BLM adopted in its own decision record in December 2012. When the surface land is managed by the USFS, the BLM must obtain consent from the USFS before leasing can occur.
The West Elk Mine has been in operation since 1982 and produced about 6 million tons of coal in 2011. Currently, the mine employs 378 people, and the majority of these employees, as well as their families, live in communities in Delta County. Total direct economic benefits associated with the coal mines within the North Fork Valley exceed $60 million annually.
Gunnison County receives approximately $2 million annually in tax revenues as the result of the coal mining operations at the West Elk Mine. Delta County receives the indirect financial benefit and tax revenue from the indirect businesses that support the mine, and the tax base from the workers, and their families, that reside in the County.
Currently, there are nine producing coal mines (seven underground and two surface operations) encompassing 75,000-acres in the state. In Fiscal Year 2012, coal energy production on BLM Colorado public lands directly contributed $918.1 million to the economy, generating royalty revenue of $57.7 million, according to the Office of Natural Resource Revenue (ONRR), and accounted for 5,719 direct and indirect jobs in Colorado.
For more information about energy development in the Uncompahgre Field Office, visit: http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/ufo/solids_and_fluids.html
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

World > Countries > United Kingdom > Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies of the United Kingdom
Anguilla was first colonized in 1650 by English settlers from St. Christopher (St. Kitts) and has since remained a British territory. It was originally part of the West Indies Associated States as a component of the St. Kitts–Nevis-Anguilla Federation. In 1967, Anguilla declared its independence from the federation but Britain did not recognize this action. In Feb. 1969, Anguilla voted to cut all ties with Britain and become an independent republic. In March, Britain landed troops on the island and, on March 30, a truce was signed. In July 1971, Anguilla became a dependency of Britain and two months later Britain ordered the withdrawal of all its troops. A new constitution for Anguilla, effective in Feb. 1976, provided for separate administration and a government of elected representatives. The Associated State of St. Kitts–Nevis-Anguilla ended in 1980, and in 1982 a new Anguillan constitution took effect.
Over the years, Anguilla became popular as a tax haven. There were no forms of taxation, no capital gains, estate or profit taxes for corporations or individuals. However, in April 2011, Anguilla issued its first income tax, a three percent Interim Stabilisation Levy, due to a mounting deficit. On July 23, 2013, Christina Scott became governor.

Hi Michael,
There's a detailed explanation of this functionality in the parent issue (
MDL-30615) including a full functionality listing, link to discussion in the forum, and screenshot.
Setting Martin as peer reviewer so this can be considered for an upcoming major release.
How stable is this looking? Could it be really stable this week on top of the other YUI3-based course stuff?
We've had this in production since December 22nd, and developed it back in November 2011.
We've made a few modifications in that time, and also more recently largely due to the course ajax changes we've also been working on. There are also some minor bug fixes and cosmetic improvements (e.g. preventing the flashing of the chooser on page load).
At present this just follows the useajax setting in the user profile and not a specific setting for the module chooser.
MDL-32707 may cause some issues until it's integrated - the modchooser has a tendency to show behind youtube videos without this setting.
Sorry about that Dan - I'd forgotten to add a CSS class to hide the link.
Have pushed an update to the CSS to fix this.
I've added the user preference as per your request. Haven't had a chance to get the right text - snowed under today.
The module chooser javascript also adds an onclick event to toggle the menu item without a page reload.
The text on the toggle could do with being short really - they're onto two lines in the standard theme as is which doesn't fill me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
And haven't had a chance to get the help links in place that Martin was talking about in devchat this morning.
Hi Andrew,
I'm just working on help texts for the module chooser -
Re. help links, in the google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KTZUWRJEqLdBKTInmrY4USliyZZD93lE4pWGBAjxG5w/edit I've listed help links used previously. You'll notice all the activity links are of the form mod/activityname/index and all the resource links are of the form mod/resourcename/view. Please feel free to change either/both, as it's very easy to create redirects in the wiki.
Re. links to pages in the docs, how about having an i icon with a 'More help' link, as done elsewhere (see attachment).
I've added the help link as discussed.
I've pushed a new version which also has the current iterations of the language strings as an additional commit to give an idea as to how it will appear.
Some other things to note:
- the help link always opens in the same window. I think that we should consider modifying doc_link to take an option to force a new window
- I've made the width of the box fractionally wider to fully accommodate all of the help – the bottom line or two was being hidden
Re. the 'More help' link opening in a new window, there is a setting doctonewwindow which controls whether 'Moodle Docs for this page' links open in a new window, and 'More help' links too.
The doctonewwindow setting is a global setting though. I think that it may be worthwhile to always open docs in new windows in certain contexts.
Updated for latest integration/master.git
I've added a snapshot of the new texts from yesterday so you can see how they look, but I've not updated with the final versions yet.
Just been trying the latest. I think it's mostly great! The enable/disable thing in the course admin menu works well.
Some final things to fix IMO:
1) See Helen's comment above about the docs links, they need to go to /mod/xxxx/view not /mod/xxxx/
1) Yes, the moodle docs link here should always open in a new page, IMO. Could you just hardcode $CFG->doctonewwindow = true; before calling the help function?
2) I think it would be worth putting in small headings to clearly define the two lists in the dialogue for Resources and Activities. Those were a huge part of the old interface and we should retain that clarity.
Re. Martin's comment
1) See Helen's comment above about the docs links, they need to go to /mod/xxxx/view not /mod/xxxx/
I've just checked the de, fr, ja and es wikis and found virtually no redirects from mod/activityname/index or mod/resourcename/view. Thus I think it's a good time to implement modulename_link strings of the form mod/xxxx i.e. mod/assignment, mod/chat, ... mod/folder, mod/imscp, mod/lti etc as you have done Andrew (so no change necessary)
I'll make sure they all redirect to the correct pages in the en docs and other languages can follow suit.
Helen if you do that then remember to ALSO do mod/xxxx/view in those other lanaguages, because that is where the main page for those modules in Moodle is sending them.
Ultimately, Andrew I think it's better to change the code to mod/xxxxx/view after all.
Best for 3rd party modules too.
Hi Andrew, please scrub my previous comment and let's have all docs links of the form mod/xxxx/view. (Martin has finally managed to convince me!)
1: Will change these when Helen has finished the strings
2: This is actually not as easy as expected. Because YUI dialogues /copy/ the target rather than wrap it. The doc_link() function adds an onclick listener to the link to open it in a popup. Alas, YUI doesn't copy the onclick so it doesn't work. I'll add a fix to the initialiser instead.
3: Have removed the separator and added a title instead (both together looked wrong) - http://dumping.andrewrn.co.uk/modchooser.png
Apologies - corrected the diff to show both commits. Here they are separate:
https://git.luns.net.uk/moodle.git/commitdiff/5008917b636343bbc2207726f7a3609fef894a92 - chooser
https://git.luns.net.uk/moodle.git/commitdiff/6fa31373dbce7de3c02c4b7de97ff9509cef1629 - new language strings
For the record, I chatted with Andrew and asked him to move the choser to the right, like the menus - I think it helps distinguish between content and actions and also to convert to html_writer in some bits of html.
Updated to move to the right as per your request. I agree, it does look better.
It would also feel less jarring when switching between modchooser and dropdowns if they were the same height I think.
OK - congratulations! I've integrated it now.
Some notes, to be followed with issues:
- Functionality wise that enable/disable dialogue seems OK, but I think that is a horrible bit of jargon! For me its way too prominently placed on edit menu too. But others have OK'ed it. I really think we must sort out that title though.
- I've seen the popup appear in the wrong place a few times - need to look at that (I will send a screenshot in a second). Unlike the quiz one you can't move it either.
- Forum help text seems to scroll
- Glossary help text seems to scroll
- We need a nice simple CSS effect on the links on the course page to make them look like buttons. I experimented with this and I think it makes it look much better.
- We need to look at the CSS of the popup box to make it nicer, its actually less 'pretty' than the quiz one (not that i'm saying the quiz one is pretty). E.g. the top bar text is not centred.
- I did some minor tweaks to use html_writer and took away 'personlisation' from the lang string (plus 'a new' from 'Add a new resource or activity'
Attaching a screenshot. The dialog is too tall for my screen. This is on a 13" laptop with a screen resolution of 1366 x 768. Its not huge but its not tiny.
The scroll bar on the page doesnt help. It moves the page behind the dialog but the dialog stays where it is.
Grabbing the title bar of the dialog doesnt do anything. It doesnt seem to be possible move the dialog at all. If I could drag it up I could at least do that to bring the buttons into view. Although this would still be broken for anyone with a smaller screen than me.
I can just access the buttons at the bottom but I had to guess which button was which.
Things to fix:
1) Change "Disable module chooser dialogue" to "Activity chooser on" and "Activity chooser off".
2) Whole dialog must fit on the window. Can it be better sized to the window height/width so we get more space on a large window (less scrolling) and a smaller dialog on a small window? Ideally it should be draggable and resizeable.
3) I agree with Dan about the title. And the string should probably be "Add a new resource or activity" to match the launch button.
4) Agree that the launch link should look like a button!
5) The Next button should be on the right hand side and should be "Add". The Cancel button should be on the left hand side.
Hi All,
The functionality for this module is working great. However, I noticed that selecting the link from the last couple of sections cut the display of the dialog box. In most cases, selecting the last section, the dialog is displayed outside the viewing screen. *see attachment
This issue is also effecting IE browser.
Waiting other's feedback before decide it to fail/pass testing.
Testing with Firefox and screen size 1024x768m I found the same as Andrew that the box was too tall for the screen. Also if you open the dialog box then change your mind and close it, then click 'Add a resource or activity' in a different section, the dialog box opens right at the bottom of the screen, so with a small screen size you hardly see it (see attached screenshot).
Also just wondering whether activities could be listed before resources in the dialog box and the text changed to read 'Add an activity or resource'?
Sorry about this - it looks like notification.js is calling it's own centerDialogue after I've set centred the dialogue. Just working on a few now.
Great that the More help links open in a new window. However I'm finding the new window really small (see screenshot) even using a monitor with a huge screen size.
Discussed with Helen in PM - making popup default to 800x600
Dan's done points 1, and 3.
Point 2: Have fixed issue with dialogue centering - it was indeed an issue with M.Dialogue.centerDialogue being called after the chooserdialogue.center_dialogue() function. This was then masking an issue where the offset wasn't being set correctly.
The dialogue follows the following rules:
- default height of 540px with a fixed position
- if the browser height is smaller, it reduces the height to fit on the screen to prevent a user having to scroll the window as well as the dialogue
- if the browser height is below a minimum (300px) it stops resizing the dialogue and instead converts to absolute positioning and forces the user to scroll the window instead
4: Agreed it would be good as a button - can this be done in a later commit - I'd quite like to get the above fixes landed first
5: Cancel now on the left, Add now on the right
Will submit a pull branch in a moment

Dan, Re: Fred has just spotted that this is now failing QA Test
I've just tried to replicate without success. Seems to work exactly as expected for me.
Little annoyance: If any of the activities help or description panes have a scroll bar (for sure will once book is added). Then scrolling within the pane (mouse wheel) also causes the "dimmed" page to scroll once the pane is done. IMO it would be perfect to avoid scrolling of the "dimmed" page while the dialog is shown (make it more "modal").
MDL-33128 for listing activities before resources in the module chooser.
Passing this as I think that is the status and we want to send to moodle.git
This issue has been integrated upstream and is now available both via git and cvs (and in some hours, via mirrors and downloads).
Andrew, thanks again for the cool activity chooser in Moodle 2.3, which is now mentioned in the user docs here: http://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Course_homepage#Adding_activities_and_resources Thus I've removed the docs_required label for this issue.

2011 Entry Draft: First Blush
November 17 2010 10:24PM
This is Ryan Nugent Hopkins. The young man from the hockey hotbed of Burnaby, BC is one of the highest ranked prospects eligible for the 2011 Entry Draft. He'll probably go in the top 3, and it looks (increasingly) like the Copper and Blue will be drafting "in the range" come summer.
The lists are here and here. The final Central Scouting list gets a lot of play but is in fact a poor guide to the final numbers (Bob McKenzie has cornered the market in this area). The first full CSB list--this one--is the most important because it gives us a list to follow for the entire season. Most of the players drafted next summer are on the lists CSB just released. The mystery is where will they go? Here's an early guess:
The Top 10
- C Sean Couturier (QMJHL): 6.04, 191. Tremendous combination of size and skill; he scores a lot of points at even strength. Skating has improved a lot but he's no speed burner. Has been compared to Vincent Lecavalier. He's a shooter (excellent wrist shot) and is 55% in the FO circle. The Oilers could really use him.
- D Adam Larsson (Swe): Big defender plays a complete game. Looks like he might be a franchise player. Calm feet and an expert puck mover, as with Couturier foot speed is the one item that has been nicked a little.
- C Ryan Nugent Hopkins (WHL): Major buzz happening in the west about this player. 6.01 and a half, he weighs just 170 but is an absolute wizard with the puck. Exceptional on the powerplay and has very good speed. Is probably the best offensive prospect among the top 3 and is certainly one dimensional compared to the other two.
- L Gabriel Landeskog (OHL): Owns a wide range of skills. Combines skill and toughess, along with aggressive play. Ranks in the top 10 in OHL scoring and that's a helluva league, he is not considered an elite offensive talent. Power forward style and is getting there in terms of size (6.01, 207). Excellent cycle player.
- R Ty Rattie (WHL): Young winger is very close to leading the WHL in points (39 in 23 games). Very skilled (described as slick), he's not big and his footspeed doesn't stand out in this crowd. I've read in a few places that he's taken a big step forward already this season, so he might end up going very high.
- D Ryan Murphy (OHL): There's all kinds of chatter about him, but Murphy looks like he might be a special player. He's 4th in OHL scoring and is dazzling with the puck. Too many moves to ignore and he apparently can play defense too. Murphy might end up being one of the best values in the 2011 draft.
- L Brandon Saad (OHL): Powerforward with good speed and hands. 6.01, 196 and he battles in high traffic areas. There's a lot to like about him, and he's scoring well. The only real downside is that (from what we read) he appears to be mature physically and may get passed by others in his age group as things roll along. From the resume, he looks like a strong pick.
- L Shane Prince (OHL): Skill winger is ripping it up in the OHL 17 points in his last 10 games, he ranks 5th in OHL scoring and a lot of it is at EV strength (8-18-26 at evs in 22gp). I'm not sure if there's even a slight negative beyond size (5.11, 185) but this guy would appear to be the first of the "breakout players" for this year's draft.
- D David Musil (WHL): Defender will make his living in with his own zone play. Big, skilled and athletic, Frank's boy has all of that and genetics too. Some concern about his consistency but defense is a tough position. He doesn't look like he'll spend a lot of time on an NHL powerplay.
- R Shane McColgan (WHL): The dub keeps turning out these undersized speed demons with skill. Ennis, Etem and now this guy. Missed some games early but appears right on track at this time. Smaller player, but extremely skilled and effective.
This years draft is widely regarded by most people responsible for rating prospects as the deepest draft in several years.
This is the first I've heard that. It also doesn't jive with what I've been seeing from this year's crop (though I'm hardly an authority there).
Too depressing.
This blog is now about cornflakes.

Make that Frosted Flakes, and you've got a deal
Put a little too much cheese on my pizza yesterday. Gotta make it Bran Flakes gents.
We've got flakes of Tuna , We've got flakes of Ham . But mostly a team and management that doesn't seem to give a dam . Not really , but the way they play makes you wonder sometimes . It can't be very pleasant(discouraging) for our good veterans ( which are few and far between ) to be motivated with such a bad supporting caste around them driving their values down accordingly . Then the further expectations to play above their heads on a constant basis just to make up for a bad base put together to begin with .
Having Oiler nation jump on them just adds further to their woes - deserved or otherwise. Same goes for media and cost of playing in such an avid hockey city in Canada . Even private lives are effected when club and players are not playing well . Pronger prime example of that . A winning club is a total different story , but we are far from that .
November 18 2010, 10:22AM
I'm not sure what to think about the oil anymore? You watch the pregame comments by Gagner and Horcs, and they talk about being ready to compete, and supporting eachother, not having enough puck support and so on and so on. The game starts, and nothings changed......??
Hemskys comments after the game about he and others being scared to touch the puck and affraid to make mistakes deflated me!! If your most offensivly gifted player is scared to touch the puck where does that leave you?
There's been a rumor that Edmonton will be considered for an NHL franchise if we build a new arean. I think the NHL should guarantee us a team before we spend that kind of money.
I called out Renny a couple of days ago. That was wrong. Sorry dude. But when your best defenceman is Whitney you got major issues. Goddam he stinks up the rink.
So how did Gilbert do paired with Whitney last night? So how did Whitney do paired with Gilbert last night? Minor leaguers. Both.
And pretty soon UN-HABBY BULIN.
Seguin must breath a sigh of relief every time he pulls on that spoked-B
There will be emply seats at WRECKS-ALL soon. We are not that stupid to keep going to watch this crap.
I want Souray back. Remember STEVE, WE pay your salary. Don't be such a childish jerk. Souray called out management last year. Good. How many do you think want to call you out right now? I only suspect, but i suspect there are a few. And if there isn't, then you got a team of losers.
Hard to disagree with anything you say, but I don't think Souray would help. How many co-workers do you have that have openly thrown your boss under the bus (whether he was right or wrong) that have stayed on with your company? And if they did stay, how would that reflect on your boss?
I like the fact that Tambo is at least sticking to his guns and leaving Souray in Hersey... Granted, if we could stitch Souray's mouth shut for the entire season, he would definitely improve our defence, but a cultural change has to start somewhere (whether the decision was popular or not)...
I agree with the majority of ON on the next draft. Go for the franchise center. Larrson would obviously be a good consolidation if we're picking second, but considering how some people have already jumped off of the 'rebuild bandwagon' (see madjam), the Oilers public would demand to see the next first rounder in our lineup... Defensemen traditionally develop slower and there's no guarantee Larrson would be as good as a Pronger or Lidstrom... Has anyone seen Larrson play in the WJHC yet??
Not sure what some of the posters expected ...perhaps that you can rebuild a complete team and move up 15 places in the league over the summer? Doesn't happen that way. Yes I am depressed with the current way the team is playing but we have some good young guys in the system. We do lack up the middle and on D right now and maybe Tambo is fishing with other teams. But the bottom line is a rebuild takes 2 to 3 years and we are only 6 or 7 weeks into year one.
Before we write off the team and talk about last place again, can we at least wait until we hit the mid-point of the year first...just say'n
November 18 2010, 11:06AM
I'd give most anyone off this roster to get another top five pick this summer, with Penner,Gagner,Brule,Gilbert,Cogliano,Khabibulin,Jacques,Deslaurier and Souray, maybe they could net us another first round pick or two. Best bet has to be getting the Tor/Bost pick from the Bruins if the Oilers have something they need. It's hard to believe things could get worse than they did last year, who would have thought Kevin Lowe/Kevin Pendergast would have driven us into a hole this deep.
Its too early to tell but everything I have heard from the hockey news and central scouting says that this is a very strong draft year, one of the best in the past 5 years.
November 18 2010, 11:33AM
Oilers need some Arson for Larsson! Don't play for Couturier!
Less than 20 games into the season we begin discussing the draft... right.
*Gun to head*
It was pretty interesting to hear Ray Ferraro (I think) give his two cents on this next crop of draftees. He was asked if he would go for the franchise defenceman or the franchise centre and he picked the Centre. His reasoning was that there have been multiple stud defencemen moved in the past few years (ie. Phaneuf, Pronger etc...) and next to zero trades involving a franchise centre. I tend to agree with him. It seems that you can build your defence easier through trades and free agent signings than you can construct a top line.
I think part of the reason you dont see #1 centers traded is contract. Lecavalier might have been traded from Tampa except for his contract, Boston is rumoured to be trying to move Savard but no way it happens with his injury history and his contract.
I dont put much stock in the "it's easier to trade for a stud D-man" talk.
There are so many holes on this team yet that BPA. No questions asked even if it was another LW. Have the scouts do their work and figure out who looks to be the best and who will be the best in 5 years. Take that player.

Good point, I doubt theirs a true "#1" under 6 million.(without a cap cheating deal)
November 18 2010, 01:36PM
It doesn't have to be this bad, but the Oilers have a long standing policy that states you don't address weakness before Christmas.
Terrible strategy, but there you go.
Another year and possibly two of this and Katz will surely be changing the "Culture" of his management team as well. Oil Change 8 should probably parallel the movie The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger (played by Daryl Katz) will terminate his accomplices Lowe and Tambellini before the start of the 2012-2013 season.
Wanna see me make these last three seasons disappear?
November 18 2010, 02:13PM
ya we will prolly pick in the top 3 again.. but what good are these kids going to be if we have nobody around them to play with..... so..... what, we tank and then start putting stronger players around the young guys??? picking players when we finish last is the easy part no?? lets get some peeps around these kids.. when does that start?? i dont have the rewbuilding model bible infront of me.. just wanna know what page thats on thats all..
November 18 2010, 03:55PM
I'm sticking to the philosphy that we should no longer be drafting speedy players, but rather players that are positional and think the game well. If Courtier has any hockey sense or two way ability, he's my pick.
No to Nugent-Hopkins. The last thing this team needs is more guys who are one-dimensional and can't play anything remotely resembling defensive coverage in their own zone.
I am on board with the "it's easier to move and acquire d-men than centres train of thought". Just look at the Oilers. In the last 6 years, we have acquired Chris Pronger, Lubo Visnovsky, Ryan Whitney, and Sheldon Souray. We've also shipped out two of those. Other notable d-men that have moved around the leauge recently are Bouwmeester, Gonchar, and Phaneuf.
November 18 2010, 04:51PM
@David S
Let it Burn ! Committ Arson for Larsson !
November 18 2010, 05:40PM
In NHL 11 Sean Couturier is a LW. Did he always play C in real life? (side note: I traded Penner, Brule, and Souray [ahahahahahahha] for a pick (Couturier) and some garbage salary dump player)
November 18 2010, 07:02PM
Two centres in the top 3? Very interesting. I agree with Falco, draft the guy who's going to be the best in 5 years when we should be contending.
I've been looking at the Nordiques/Avalanche as a possible Oilers-comparable. The one thing that franchise had in the mid-90s was a lot of very good centres (Sakic, Forsberg, Sundin, Ricci). Time to starts drafting some guys at that position.
November 18 2010, 07:17PM
I think a great way to speed up the rebuild would be to make a trade with boston. Say the oilers REALLY liked Seguin , enough that they would prefer him over Nugent-Hopkins and Couturier. Boston is loaded up center , so i think it wouldn't be too out of line to trade our 1st round draft pick for Seguin some time this year.
I know Couturier is big and he could probably still play strong on the puck if he's not physical (a la penner). Apparently Nugent-Hopkins is a great playmaker but isn't really 6'1". So maybe it would work out great if edmonton traded the 1st rounder next year , for the guy they were seriously considering picking over taylor hall. I know Larsson is supposedly the next Lidstrom but Lidstrom came in when scoring was cupcakes. Today it takes long for a defenceman to develop, with the only exception being Doughty.
Boston would then get 2 great 1st round picks. Say they do terrible in the playoffs again, then realize they're too loaded up center. I think they would consider giving up Seguin for a pick that could turn out as Landeskog.Scooping up Murphy with Bostons pick and then they would become an unbelievable force in say 2-3 years.
I think having a franchise center will be way more beneficial to the oilers. Besides they will likely tank again afterwards again then turn that pick into a premier defenceman. It would be quicker than waiting on the learning curve of Hopkins and Couturier.I say butter up the deal and help boston with their salary cap problems also.
YES?NO?...or f*$k off you crazy bastard?

We're better off with Couturier over Seguin, there's no way the Bruins would move their future No.1 center. I do think they could be tempted to move that Tor/Bos 1st round pick for just the right package. We may be better off with say 2 of the top 3 or 4 picks rather than tanking it for another year.

As much as that would be awesome Boston has cap issues. No way they can take any salary back.

very true Lidstrom and Keith were both second rounders. I think defenceman are a lot like goaltenders. Because it takes 5-7 years to develop the majority of defenceman it's more of a crapshoot. There's a big window for them to improve their game or like Lowetide mentions for them to get hurt and slow their development. Which is much like what happened to Alex Plante.
I think Couturier has to be the choice too. Plays in all situations and Edm has very few legitimate PKers. Having too many centerman is not a problem. Especially when some like Gagner would probably be better off on the wing instead of center. And on a deeper squad Gagner probably wouldn't be playing center right now.

Hi Five for that.
I agree man but look when the dust settles you'll know who the true Oiler/Hockey fans are and who just wants to feel like a winner by living vicariously through this team. I watched the Oilers throught the 92-97 seasons. I can bear through this rebuild knowing that they actually have a formulated plan now instead of treading water.
I agree with the complainers that it's tough to watch but hey that's a rebuild. You can't cheer for the rebuild in the off season and then complain when you have to actually witness what it is.
I'm torn on the "he's not really 6'tall" argument, implying that RNH is too small. I get that we've been burned recently with a roster of dwarfs, but that doesn't mean that all small players aren't effective. I would love to have Patrick Kane on this team and he's a smallish guy.
That being said, I would rather have Toews over Kane. And if Couturier is an all-round Centre...that's the guys we need. But I think that RNH is our guy if we have the second overall pick.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.
