The Race
After posting fifth-quickest qualifying times in practice, Brayton came out swinging in moto one, nailing the holeshot and riding a solid race to finish fifth. After grabbing a mid-pack start in moto two, he was able to charge his way to a eighth-place finish, giving him fifth overall. "Today was a good day for me," said Brayton. "It felt like everything finally started to come together and I was able to ride up front where I belong. Race one went really great. After getting the holeshot I fell back a few positions but was still able to maintain a good pace. In the second race, my start wasn't as great but I was still able to finish strong. I am really going to take advantage of these next two weekends off and come to Red Bud strong."
In the 250 class, Muscle Milk-sponsored GEICO Honda teammates Justin Barcia, Eli Tomac and Wil Hahn put together strong rides throughout the entire day. After qualifying first in practice, Barcia continued his momentum by grabbing the win in moto one. In moto two, he was able to work his way through the pack from outside the top 20 to finish fifth, placing him on the podium with a third overall.
"I felt great in moto one, but moto two was just off for me," said Barcia. "I got a bad start in the second race, which put me in a bad position, and then after going down, it set me back even more from the top four guys. I really had to work for the fifth-place finish and I'm grateful to be on the podium again and still second in points."
Tomac put together a solid charge, finishing 5-3 for a fourth overall. "The track was tricky today when it came to passing," said Tomac. "It was pretty one-lined and the passing lanes didn't set up like they have in the past so it made it really tough to come through the pack. Between that and the lappers you had to be really careful not to make any mistakes because it could really hurt you."

A nationwide "victory march" is planned in Egypt to mark the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak's regime, but the scale of the protests could test the military's resolve.
Even though many Egyptians cheered the military taking over for ousted President Hosni Mubarak, human rights groups say the military has played a role in disappearances and torture over the past three weeks.
The Egyptian military told protesters to cease and desist further demonstrations or face being arrested.
Egypt's generals are seizing control over the country in the wake of the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, announcing their intention to ban strikes and crack down on "chaos and disorder."
"Egypt is going to have a big, big impact around the region," says Salman Sheik, director of The Brookings Doha Center in Qatar.
President Obama Friday hailed the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, saying the people of Egypt have spoken; their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same."
While Egyptian protesters on Friday celebrated the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, it remained unclear whether the military's assumption of power will lead to a more democratic system of government...
We asked you onFacebook and Twitter for your reaction to Hosni Mubarak resigning on Friday as president of Egypt and you had some poignant things to say. Here are some of your reactions:
Jade Huguenot posted on...
Tom Misenti, 26 of Wethersfield, was a witness to the anti-government protests in Egypt and calls Hosni Mubarak's resignation today a "truly a momentous and unprecedented occasion."
The unrest in Egypt has stressed the military partnership between the U.S. and Egypt, leaving a big unknown for the Obama administration as the popular uprising continues to play out.

"These are everything that I wanted in a flat boot, perfect! I ordered the brown (or camel) and they were a little lighter than the picture, which was what I wanted to begin with. They are very comfortable and I love that they are real leather."

Finally found riding boots that work!
"I have been on a two year search for brown riding boots that were just the right color where I could also pair them with black outfits. I also have small calves (13.25") so the majority of boots looked wacky on me. I am SO happy I found these! There is just enough room in the calf to be comfortable and the brown shade is lovely. They do run narrow in the foot, but I think they will stretch out nicely as they are leather. I wore them for hours the day I bought them and they were fine.My boyfriend is relieved he won't have to wait in stores anymore while I try on every pair of brown boots they have... As am I :)"

With Father's Day just around the corner on Sunday. I have taken a few minutes to think about my own father. Even though my dad passed away in 1988, I still have a dad. I think of the many things he taught me all of the time and it is as if he is still with me.
My dad was born in May, Idaho in 1918. He learned how to work hard early in life and always believed in an honest days work for an honest days pay. He worked many jobs as a young man and he always liked being in the outdoors and out on the land. He worked on farms mostly and then he herded sheep for a man with a large livestock operation. Herding sheep can be a smelly job. Sometimes after they had hauled the sheep to an auction in Idaho Falls, the owner would take all of his workers to a nice restaurant and treat them to dinner. My dad always laughed when he told the story of the stares they would get from other diners when the group of smelly sheepmen came to dinner.
It seems people who work on the land always have a favorite horse and dog as a constant companion. Dad's horse was very patient and always just waited around as he worked on fences or anything else that needed attention.
My dad spent four years fighting in World War II. He didn't talk a lot about the war days, but we knew he was proud to have served his country. My brother and I were fascinated by a tatoo of a lady on his arm which mysteriously appeared there after a night he couldn't remember while stationed in Hawaii.
My mom and dad were married in 1948 and my sister was born two years later. My dad went to work at a hard rock mine in Patterson, Idaho a small town just down the road from May where he was born. Things from then on changed quite dramatically in his life and mine too although I wasn't born yet at the time.
One night after work he was climbing the stairs back out of the mine, his boots were muddy and the ladder was slick; he slipped off the ladder and fell 30 feet onto a pile of timbers used in the mine. His back was broken. He spent many months in recovery. He was taken to a Veterans hospital in Long Beach, Calif. where they did what they could for him. The doctors there told him he would never work again and they wanted to sign him up for complete disability. He refused, telling them he would walk again and he would work again. His recovery process was long and hard. He was left paralyzed from the waist down, but he found someone who could make him braces for his legs and he learned to walk with them. He sometimes used crutches if he needed to move faster.
The end result of his accident, was that we had to move and leave Idaho so my dad could find work. He became a teamster, because the physical labor of farm work was now something he couldn't do. But, he knew he could drive a truck and make a living for his family. My brother was born during my father's recovery from his accident. The doctors figured my brother and later me were pretty close to being miracles.
So we moved to Utah, as I grew up, I figured I was the one gypped because I wasn't born in Idaho and the rest of my family was. We returned to Idaho many times during my growing up years and my family always referred to it as going home. Going home for Memorial Day and going home for Thanksgiving.
The Salmon River Valley is so beautiful and here we had to move to a desert I thought. I remember not wanting to come home after trips to this bit of "God's country" as my relatives like to refer to their home.
I know how hard it was on my parents to leave their beautiful home and venture out, but I know how important it was to my dad to stand on his own. I think of the people today who look for ways to get out of work and try to get something for nothing. I am so proud I had a dad who believed in hard work and integrity. His word was his honor and his good name. If he said he was going to do something, he found a way to do it, no matter how painful.
Once as a young child we lived in Bluff, Utah. We had an event at school where we ate and everyone was standing in line, for their plates. One of the servers asked my dad to carry a plate for one of the young children. She handed him the plate and then as he turned to walk to the tables, she could tell that he was moving very slowly. She said, "Wait, I didn't know that you were crippled." I looked at my dad, I had never heard of such a thing, I didn't know that he was crippled either. He never seemed crippled. He was just my dad. I know he didn't ever pick me up or carry me anywhere. He couldn't but it didn't bother me. He did everything that dads are supposed to do. He loved us, yelled at us, took care of us, taught us to work hard, taught us to be good people, taught us to be a good friend. Never once did I think of the things he couldn't do, but I know that he did. He referred to his life often in telling a story, "As before I got hurt, or after I got hurt," to set the preface. We knew what he meant.
Now that I am much older, I think that my dad must have spent much of his life in pain. But he never complained.
My dad gave me a life that was very much filled with adventure. In my younger years, we traveled from construction job to construction job in many states. I loved the moves, it was hard to leave friends behind, but I knew that there would be new friends just down the road.
While living in Grantsville, my sister, said that she had moved quite enough and stayed behind to finish out her senior year at Grantsville High school. But, my brother and I were put in the car for one more move. This time we stopped in Huntington as my dad was going to work at the Huntington Power Plant as a teamster. He drove a sanitation truck for the power plant, they were constructing the plants at the time and needed much cleanup work done.
Since arriving in Emery County in 1972 I have remained. I love this place, the alkali does indeed grow on you. I think it settles around the stomach, because most of the time, I can't get my zippers to work just right. I am glad my dad's travels and jobs landed him and his family here in this place. After his retirement, my mom and dad moved to Tooele, where my mom still lives, now that my dad has gone home to May, Idaho.
Every Memorial Day, the family in Idaho has a get together for anyone wishing to return home. My son and I took my mother, age 81, up there this past Memorial weekend so she could decorate her family graves. Although, I've never lived there, a piece of me still thinks it is my home, too. The home of my parents and grandparents.
My father is buried beside a pine tree in the rustic May cemetery. A bird has built a nest in the pine tree and sings beautiful songs from his perch. The glorious mountains surround the spot. It's a perfect place to call home for a dad deserving of a rest.
I hope all the fathers everywhere have a great day and think of the many influences they are having on their children, whether they realize it or not.

These tips to much helpful for party hope I am post for my friend These boxes aren't necessary as most movers will wrap your mattress in plastic bags which are much cheaper to purchase. However, boxes will keep your mattress from being punctured or if it's being stored for a while, it'll protect it better from outside forces. Mattress boxes come in many sizes from cribs to twin to king-size.
Used Packaging Boxes
I like to buy these mints that have interesting tin boxes. Once, I made some storage boxes out of these tin boxes for small items. My nieces love these when they saw the storage tin boxes that they use these for their fancy jewelry. They even use these for gifts to their friends.
Beautiful! I have a friend who decorates empty tins with polymer clay! Check out her facebook page!

According to Itachi you get a new technique when you get EMS. This all we know about Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan from Itachi.
"A permanent Mangekyou Sharingan. By changing host, the younger brothers eyes found an inextinguishable light."
"But that was only half of the story. The transplant also gave birth to a completely new eye technique."
I'm not to sure what this new technique is, whether its Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, Fūinjutsu or even Taijutsu. But I do have a theory as to what it could be called.
Judging by the names of the techniques we've seen already which are all names of Japanese gods. I'm guessing its going to be called Izanami. Reason I say this is from the family tree of the Japanese gods, its rather interesting and to my surprise there's a parallel from the gods story to Naruto and Sasuke.
Spoiler!These are first two Japaneses gods, think of them like Father and Mother.
Izanagi ("Exalted Male")
Izanami ("Exalted Female")
They had two children,but they were badly-formed and are not considered gods in their original form. They dismayed at their misfortune, put the children into a boat and set them out to sea.
Hiruko ("leech child")
Awashima ("pale island")
Long story short they tried again and gave birth to 8 great islands(not children this time, by the way take a look at the naruto world map you would notice something pretty intresting).
Then Izanami died while giving birth to another child Kagutsuchi (incarnation of fire). Then the good father Izanagi is, he killed the child out of anger.
Izanagi then went to Yomi (The shadowy land of the dead) to find Izanami (apparently it's eternal darkness there). When Izanagi went to save Izanami from Yomi he failed, because he couldn't handle the shear sight of her anymore, as she was all rotted away and all ugly looking. Izanami said she had "already eaten the food of the underworld" (this is why she became ugly) and "now one with Yomi" and finally she said "Izanagi your too late". Izanagi got the hell out of there asap, running and screaming out of fear. Izanagi burst out of the entrance and quickly pushed a boulder in the mouth of the cavern that used to be the entrance to Yomi. Izanami screamed from behind this impenetrable barricade and told Izanagi that if he left her she would kill 1,000 living people every day, Izanagi furiously replied he would give life to 1,500. And so began the existence of Death.
In the process of trying to find Izanami he now needs to purify himself because of his visit to Yomi, Izanagi purifies himself and gave birth to three more gods.
Amaterasu (incarnation of the sun) from his left eye,
Tsukuyomi (incarnation of the moon) from his right eye, and
Susanoo (incarnation of storms and ruler of the sea and storms) from his nose.
Note: I found some interesting similarities from above with Sasuke, regarding which eye he use's for which Sharingan technique.
-Sasuke uses his left eye for Amaterasu.
-Sasuke uses his right eye for Tsukuyomi.
-Sasuke uses both eyes for Susanoo. (Obviously nothing to with the nose, but it does show just like Izanagi used neither his left or right eye to create Susanoo, Sasuke also needs to use both eyes and not either one alone to use Susanoo.)
Just for completeness, I don't think you can draw any conclusions from this.
-Sasuke uses his right eye for Kagutsuchi. (This is the technique Sasuke uses to manipulate Amaterasu)
Ok that's the end of the mythology lesson,if you want know more its all here.
Note the names of the living children/gods not used in Naruto at the moment.
Spoiler!This could be a long lost jutsu in the Nauto world maybe So6P era, not necessarily anything to do with the Sharingan. Or it could be a future character in the series.
Hiruko is already used it's the name of Sasori's puppet and this could be considered a deformity because Sasori took body parts of the real Hiruko to create the puppet version. I found this in particular quite interesting as Awashima and Hiruko were outcasts because of their deformities.
Spoiler!This has a high chance of being the next sharingan technique based from the other names we've seen already. Izanami was one of the first gods like Izanagi showing that she is held in high regard. Also Izanami is associated with Yomi where there's eternal darkness, just like all the sharingan techniques when used frequently enough you slowly plunge yourself into eternal darkness and become blind. There were a couple of phrases said by Sasuke of emphasizing the darkness(he said this to Garaa at the kage summit) like Izanami. Therefore I think the new EMS technique will most likely will be more powerful compared to the other sharingan techniques.
I have been thinking about how time space techniques could fit into all this as the sharingan is able to manipulate time and space, if Izanami turns out to be Tobi's warp to another dimension jutsu once you get EMS. I managed to find a connection to the Japanese god's story. Recalling back to Izanami, she said she would kill 1000 people per day but we were told she was behind a impenetrable barricade. So she was able to go in and out of the living world and Yomi where before her no one from Yomi could do this. This is like an analogy of how Madara is the only one(so far) that can go in and out of dimensions with that mystery technique of his.
But to be honest I doubt you get this wrap technique when you obtain EMS. It wouldn't be a good move for Tobi to give Itachi eyes to Sasuke if he knows he'll end up with a haxed time space technique. Its not like they are allies really and the only thing Tobi has on Sasuke to keep him in line at the moment is that wrap move he has. Maybe there's a special way of unlocking the technique once you get EMS where only Tobi knows about. Either that or maybe Tobi is going to get hax power up soon like Rinnegan(Hes already talked about getting the Rinnegan) or chakra from the bujj he's captured. It doesn't seem like a good strategy to give someone as unstable as Sasuke a haxed time space technique if you don't have a backup plan.
Now here's the interesting parallels to Naruto and Sasuke,
Spoiler!-The parallels are based on the actions of both Izanagi and Izanami to Naruto and Sasuke, one in particular caught my eye. Izanagi killed the child Kagutsuchi that caused Izanami's death. So this potentially could mean Naruto could kill whoever or whatever kills Sasuke. A testing moment in Naruto's character similar to what he experienced after facing finally seeing the killer of his master. What do you think Naruto's reaction would be if Sasuke died?
-There were a multiple phrases said by Sasuke of emphasizing the darkness to Naruto during their third meeting just like Izanami did to Izanagi.
-Naruto is trying to purify Sasuke from hatred and bring him back home like Izanagi tried for Izanami.
-Sasuke always says to Naruto its too late to save him from the darkness, just like Izanami said to Izanagi was too late.
-Naruto is trying to purify himself from any hatred to not allow the nine tail's will to take over him and this was after their third meeting and saw Sasuke's hatred. Just like how Izanagi met Izanami and then needed to purify himself after he left Yomi. This in turn formed new gods, very similar to Naruto when he purifies himself from hatred he would then be able to use the fox's chakra at will and get crazy *** powers.
Lol maybe Naruto and Sasuke will become gods in terms of shinobi power..
Note: Off topic slightly,
Spoiler!Sasuke's kirin is in chinese folklore(Qilin) it says its appearance in conjunction with the arrival of a sage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin
And surprise...surprise around that same time Jiraiya entered sage mode in the battle against Nagato. That's quite the coincidence or is it?, like hell it is Kishi is just masterful.

At commission meeting Commissioner Gary Kofford brought up the matter of the TV switch to digital signal scheduled for Feb. 17. The Congress has delayed the switch until June to allow people more time to prepare. Emery County is ready for the switch and will continue with the Feb. 17 original deadline. The expense of running two systems is prohibitive and any break downs in the analog signals would not be fixed anyway. One citizen suggested that since its going to happen soon anyway most county people should be prepared. The government has a voucher program to help with the purchase of the set-top box for older TVs.
This money ran out, but since then more money has been put into the program to help people get ready for the switch.
The switch will not affect anyone with satellite TV like Dish Network and DirectTV or cable TV or the new TV system being developed by Emery Telcom.

National writer: Race for Zack Greinke seems down to Rangers, Dodgers
The race to sign free agent pitcher Zack Greinke could be down to the Rangers and Dodgers, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman tweeted Wednesday.
The two clubs have been mentioned among the leaders for Greinke since he officially hit the market in October, and they seem to be the two most likely landing spots for him now among reports that the Angels may be backing off their pursuit.
Still, just because the Rangers and Dodgers are the two most aggressive clubs now doesn't mean another team couldn't step in with a surprise offer. Heyman even offered this warning: "[Albert] Pujols looked like Cards or Marlins into final day in '11." Pujols, the top free agent in last year's class, wound up shocking everyone by signing with the Angels.
But Heyman wasn't the only one touting the Rangers' chances in the Greinke race Wednesday. ESPN's Jayson Stark tweeted early Wednesday morning that there was a buzz around the winter meetings to "watch out for Texas on Zack Greinke."
Most experts are predicting Greinke will land a contract that pays him at least $20 million annually, and some have even predicting that his deal will eclipse the record $161 contract that C.C. Sabathia signed with the Yankees in 2009. Sabathia's deal is the richest ever signed by a pitcher.

Extra drunken driving patrols set for New Year's Eve
Grant money helps put more officers on local roads
Police will increase patrols on New Year's Eve in an effort to catch drunken drivers as part of a High Visibility OWI Enforcement Deployment.
Law enforcement agencies from Waukesha and Milwaukee counties make up the Southeast Wisconsin Drunk Driving Task Force, dedicated to a concentrated effort to deter drunken driving. These agencies work together to "stop, test and arrest" suspected drunken drivers.
Financed by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Safety, officers will be visible at multiple locations on city streets looking for drivers who are being reckless, swerving from their lane, failing to stop for traffic signals or otherwise endangering safety.
The City of Brookfield Police Department received a $35,000 grant from the Bureau of Transportation to conduct extra patrols meant to deter drunken drivers during the 2013 fiscal year, which runs from October, 2012, to September, 2013.
The Transportation Safety Bureau aides departments with safety programs and polices, such as drunken driving, speed limit enforcement, and seat belt law enforcement, throughout the state.
Police from the city and town of Brookfield and village of Elm Grove will participate in Monday's deployment.
"The law enforcement agencies have coordinated their efforts to ensure local roads, county roads, state highways and the interstate system will be properly patrolled," Brookfield police Capt. Phil Horter said. "Law enforcement is certainly committed to doing their part and we would certainly request that all others do their part, including drivers, professional servers and those hosting private holiday parties, and other citizens who believe they see an impaired driver or someone who they believe to be impaired and about to drive."
Monday night's deployment will start with street corner roll calls at several intersections in target areas in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. Brookfield's roll call will take place at the intersection of 126th Street and Bluemound Road.
The smaller roll calls are a new change for the task force this year. In the past, one large roll call was held, with officers from participating areas traveling to areas outside their jurisdiction to meet before taking to the streets.
Horter said the smaller roll calls mean officers travel less and have more time to catch drunken drivers during the deployment.
"It makes sense to have multiple local roll calls rather than to have officers driving 20 to 30 minutes just to get to a roll call - that time can be spent patrolling," he said.
Horter credits the teamwork between participating municipalities for the success of the task force.
"The coordinated effort among law enforcement agencies from the local, county and state level make it much more difficult to get from point A to point B if you are operating under the influence," he said.
During the first deployment with the roll call changes, on Nov. 21, 44 officers from 13 departments made 16 drunken driving arrests and issued 169 citations, including one arrest each in the city and town of Brookfield and one arrest in Elm Grove.
At a second deployment Dec. 15, 36 officers from 10 departments made 14 drunken driving arrests and issued 164 citations, including two arrests each in Brookfield and Elm Grove.
According to a Wisconsin Department of Transportation report, there were 28,729 drunken driving convictions in Wisconsin in 2011.

Emphasizing biblical studies and systematic historical theology.
In theology, you will deal with questions regarding the nature and history of the scriptures, central themes from biblical and systematic theology, and practices that cultivate biblical interpretation and theological thinking.
After earning your degree, you may decide to go on to graduate school or one of many vocations in churches, non-profit organizations, schools, and mission agencies.
As a second major, theology cultivates the practices necessary for the development of a Christian perspective in other academic and vocational areas. Students often double major in theology and church ministry leadership.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Progress has won the 2006 general excellence award from the Utah Press Association at the winter convention.
Each year newspapers, from the large dailies to the monthly journals, take the time in early January to fulfill a request from the UPA to enter a journalism, layout and advertising competition called the Better Newspaper Contest for publications from the previous year.
All in all there are 30 categories that papers can enter with tear sheets and entire sections of their paper. The UPA denotes what it wants, and in some cases issues instructions to provide certain issues of the paper for judging in February of the year the awards will be made.
"It was exciting being there and collecting the awards for the Progress," said ECP publisher Richard Shaw. "The paper had done fairly well at our in company contest in California in February, but I didn't know what to expect on Saturday night. I thought we might win some of the award categories, but I was pleasantly surprised when we won the general excellence category."
This years submissions were judged by the Montana Press Association. Utah joins with surrounding states to judge each others papers for their individual contests yearly.
Newspapers competing in the annual UPA contest are divided into four groups.
Classification one papers have circulations of less than 2,500.
Classification two papers have circulations between 2,500 and 5,999.
Classification three papers have circulations of more than 6,000.
The daily papers in the state also have their own classification.
The Emery County Progress falls into the classification one of the statewide competition.
The best newspapers in the groups are determined by the total number of points received by the publications in 30 different categories. The papers receive points if they are picked first, second or third. Any rankings below that are not listed or counted.
The Emery County Progress won various places in the following categories.
First place for best lifestyle page.
First place for the best photo page.
First for the best feature column.
First for the best classified pages.
First for the best use of color in an advertisement.
First for the best advertising idea.
Second for the best sports column.
Second for the best circulation promotion.
Second for the best run-of-paper advertising campaign.
Third for the best sports photograph.
Third for the best in-house promotion campaign.
Third for the best run-of-paper advertisement.
Third for best news or feature series.
"It was almost embarrassing the way the paper dominated the awards in its category," said Shaw. "Between accepting awards for the Progress and the Sun Advocate, I was jumping up and walking to the front of the hall to get an award every time they announced."
Shaw attributes the win to a strong editorial team in Emery County as well as a very good advertising department and composition department which designs and builds the ads for customers.
"Patsy Stoddard, Corey Bluemel, Brandy Anderson, and Gary Arrington do an outstanding job of gathering news and photos and then putting the paper together each week," he said. "Good, relevant, timely and community oriented content is what makes a community paper great. It's a great deal of work for them and it takes a lot of hours of dedication to get it done."
When the paper won the general excellence award the last time in 2000, Kevin Ashby was the publisher.

GRID-Arendal was awarded a "Grønt Stipend" ("green scholarship") amounting to NOK 420,000 by the County of Aust-Agder to develop the web-based prototype for a collective transport system - a private car-pooling scheme - that would be a first for Norway. Inspired in part by successful projects in Germany and the US, the project's objective is to reduce the negative environmental and socio-economic effects of private transport in the region.

Exhibition themes Nazca
The Nazca culture was situated in the Río Grande de Nazca and Ica valleys of the south coast. It had strong links with its Paracas predecessors. In 1901 graves in shaft-like tombs were discovered at the Ocucaje excavations. They contained the seated bodies of ordinary people surrounded by polychrome ceramic vessels. Nazca imagery included deities that incorporated attributes of humans and local animals, birds and sea creatures. Trophy heads were an important subject and, over time, designs became increasingly abstract.
Bold lines and colourful patterns are typical of much Nazca art, notably the outlining of forms on ceramics and textiles. Most famous are the extensive Nazca lines on the desert plains, created by removing red stones so that lighter soil shows through. Due to the climate's extreme dryness, these huge geometric and zoomorphic geoglyphs have remained visible and undisturbed for centuries.
Irrigation was made possible by the construction of underground channels to bring water to crops and animals, aqueducts which are still used today. Catastrophic floods from El Niño led to the downfall of the Nazca culture, as overflowing water could not be absorbed into the deforested valleys.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Senator Stephan Conroy announced the commercial release of a talking set top box that will aid and encourage the visually impaired to use digital television.
"For the first time in Australia, vision impaired people will be able to enjoy significantly enhanced benefits of digital television," said Conroy.
The talking set top box will read out onscreen menus, electronic program guides, and settings of their television.
The box uses text-to-speech technology to describe programs, menu items, and menu layouts. It benefits from a 'key-learn' feature for the remote control and can have its speech style changed.
"This kind of technology has been developed in other countries, however, no talking set-top box was available in the Australian market until now," Conroy said.
"Today's announcement coincides with Queensland Disability Action Week and marks a significant achievement for the Government and industry to make digital TV accessible to all Australians."
In developing the new set top box the government worked closely with the industry and tested the technology in the Household Assistance Scheme rollout in regional Victoria.
"The talking set-top box trial was designed to test this innovative technology with vision impaired Victorians. I am delighted to see this initiative result in the commercial release of a talking set-top box to the broader Australian community."
The Household Assistance Scheme provides free digital TV help for maximum aged pensioners and has assisted 50,000 eligible households throughout South Australia, Victoria and Queensland.
With the trials success, the government is now pursuing operational and funding requirements to have the talking set top box incorporated under the scheme.
"Australia is striding forward in the global migration to digital TV with 82 per cent of households across the nation already converted to digital TV," Senator Conroy said.
"The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that no-one is left behind in the switch to digital-only television."

Hugging curves in all the right places, the pencil skirt has dominated the workplace since its origins out of the fabric rationing of WWII. Loved by everyone from Joan Holloway to Carine Roitfeld, its continued popularity is a testament to style's classic shape and flattering silhouette.
Adding a pencil skirt to your workwear wardrobe is a simple way to double, even triple, the number of outfits in your 9-to-5 rotation. Wear it with a bold Equipment blouse muted by a neutral Theory blazer. For a more casual look, layer a soft, cashmere sweater over your favorite button-down. A sequined, cropped jacket draws attention to the trim waist created by the skirt, and also brings a bit of sparkle to the office. But, the best thing about a pencil skirt is the quick transition from day to night. Throw on a playful peep-toe pump, add a statement ring, and you are ready to ditch the conference calls for cocktails.

Bills' Nelson taking a slow approach
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 12 2012 1:58PM
David Nelson knows a thing or two about scary moments during training camp.
Twice in 2010, his first training camp, Nelson thought he had suffered an injury that could have sidelined him for the long-term, only to bounce right back in a relatively quick manner to try and make the team.
Fast forward to one of the first few practices at St. John Fisher College, where a freak collision with Mario Williams caused Nelson to believe his season could be in jeopardy. The wideout believed his knee was blown, due to the way it contorted upon impact.
Just like in 2010, however, Nelson received good news. He was able to get back to work during individual drills a few days ahead of the Bills' first preseason game.
He made another step in the right direction on Saturday night, taking part in team drills for the first time since the injury.
"The advice I got was that it couldn't get any worse -- it's not going to get any worse by pushing through it," Nelson said. "That was all the green-light I needed. When they told me that I just came out here and did all I could."
While the wide receiver admitted that it was hard for him to plant and cut at this point, he said he's going to battle through it -- albeit in an intelligent way.
"It was the trainers, it was Buddy, it was Chan -- all of the above were just telling me to be smart," Nelson remarked. "The competitiveness comes out of you. You come out on this field and you've got these guys and the bodies are flying around. Anytime you get a defense on the field, you want to go 100-percent so it's always hard to kind of turn it down and play under control.
"But at the same time, you wanna compete. This being my first day back, I had the anxiety because I only practiced two days in camp. So I still have those camp jitters going through my stomach. It was hard, but it was good to get out here today and be able to have three more days to really go out there with pads on."
Nelson revealed he had a strained tendon in his knee in late July. He'll be depended on by the Bills to be slot receiver throughout the 2012 season.

Skip to comments.Six House Democrats Say Virginia Lawmaker Should Not Seek Re-Election (Moran)
Posted on 03/12/2003 3:18:13 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Six House Democrats Say Virginia Lawmaker Should Not Seek Re-Election The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Six Democratic House members called on Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., not to seek re-election in 2004 in the wake of controversial comments about Jews and the possibility of war with Iraq. Moran's comments are "not merely wrong, offensive and ignorant," the six, all Jewish lawmakers, wrote in a letter Wednesday, "They are grossly irresponsible, and were given at a sensitive time when inflammatory comments - regardless of outrageous factual flaws - can unleash unintended and dangerous consequences."
Moran's office had no immediate comment.
The Virginia lawmaker sparked a controversy several days ago when he said, "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq we would not be doing this. ... The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should."
Moran apologized for his comments on Tuesday. He said he framed his comments as he did because he was responding to a questioner who said she was Jewish. "I regret doing that," he said.
In a letter to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, the six House Democrats said that Moran's comments "violate the basic standards we hold ourselves to as Democrats."
"We hope that as Jim reflects on his actions, he will decide not to seek re-election to the House of Representatives. Should he seek re-election in 2004, however, we cannot and will not support his candidacy."
The letter was signed by Reps. Henry Waxman and Tom Lantos of California, Martin Frost of Texas, Sander M. Levin of Michigan, Benjamin Cardin of Maryland and Nita M. Lowey of New York.
Didn't you know that the Rats are all anti-Semites?
I'll be watching Dan Rather for this story tonight...........NOT!!!!
About time. What's really annoying about the Democrats is that they do nothing but to obstruct, obstruct and obstruct.
An American by choice, Tom Lantos was born in Budapest, Hungary, on February 1, 1928. He was 16 years old when Nazi Germany occupied his native country. As a teenager, he was a member of the anti-Nazi underground and later of the anti-Communist student movement. Tom was awarded an academic scholarship to study in the United States, and he arrived here in 1947. He received a B.A. and M.A. in Economics from the University of Washington in Seattle and later earned a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Now about that Clinton fellow ...
He has serious baggage. Questionable financial dealings, domestic abuse, assualting an 8 year old accusing him of trying to steal his car. Now this Jewish comment. It seems to me he is ripe for the picking in '04 if the R's want to fight for the seat.
Pelosi should force him out of that leadership position. Immediately.
"The pot calling the kettle black" comes to mind....
I have never held any of these people in respect and I still don't, but I am impressed that they have any idea of what's right and wrong.
Their polling must have told them to act like Republicans over this.
Hey, guys...if you can't support his campaign for office...how the heck can you support his holding the office?!
Now nearly good enough, dimms; not nearly good enough.
They have a new "Conscience" now, but the name escapes me.
I find it VERY fascinating that the only Dems with the courage to really speak out on this are themselves Jewish. Why are the other 200-plus RATS so strangely quiet on this antisemitism in their midst?
That is hillarious. What am I missing here? To what standards do the RATS hold themselves? Not allowing a rapist to squat in our White House? Proving that perjury by the chief law enforcement officer is punishable?
Demaris Miller went up against him twice that I know of ('98 and '00 - I volunteered for her campaign in 2000). She even had Alan Keyes come in for a fundraiser that year and lost by about a 2:1 margin. I have no doubt in my mind that the Dems would not be calling for him to step down if this district were even remotely competitive.
You're probably right. Virginia is down to two majority RAT districts. That's not bad out of 11 and considering all the federal gubmint employees that live in that district.
See http://chblue.com/Aug1999/081799/criminalclass2-081799.htm.
According to the media, it's either Robert "KKK" Byrd or John "Keating 5" McCain... they can't make up there mind.
He should step down.
Trent Lott showed great honor by doing so, even though the democrats "divined" his intentions. The intentions of this man were blatantly obvious. He hates the Jew.
They are probably listening to Hillary! explain that this is a plot by the F------ Jew B------- and that it, too, shall pass.

Chuck Schwab was on CNBC's Closing Bell with Kelly Evans and Scott Wapner a short while ago, roaming over a number of topics.
Evans brought up an op-ed piece by Schwab from this summer in which he accused high-frequency trading of eroding investor trust and willingness to enter markets. Schwab reprised his critique, arguing high-freqency trades "game the system" and are violating the fundamental principles of securities markets.
"Maybe it should be shut down or outlawed," said Schwab of high-frequency trading.
Schwab also trumpeted the virtues of index investing, saying that more and more people were moving away from individual stock investing and finding the virtues of indices.
Shares of Charles Schwab (SCHW) are up 73% this year and over 85% in the last 12 months.
Asked about Facebook (FB) and Twitter's (TWTR) initial public offerings, Schwab had little specific to say, aside from rehashing the debacle of the Facebook offering. Instead, he made the general observation that new issues are a good thing.
"I think all these new issues coming out helps the notion that equities are alive again, there are new ideas, and it's the growth story, and people should participate in it."

Tyler Bozak goes blackface
Cam Charron
October 30 2012 09:45PM
Nobody's perfect, but I figured I'd leave this image up. Tyler Bozak tweeted out the picture, then deleted, but it was caught by a Leafs fan who posted it on Tumblr. Not too much to write, considering Thomas Drance at Canucks Army wrote the necessary words last year:
Here's the point to me: blackface halloween costumes are racist at worst, and woefully ignorant at best. They're in indefensible poor taste and any smart person knows it. There's context here though, hockey players and the world they inhabit isn't always enlightened. Just based on Bissonette's usually excellent twitter account you can infer some borderline medieval attitudes towards topics like in-game toughness, and women. Up until tonight I wouldn't have included "ethnic minorities"(*) on that list, but the fact that one of the most "with-it" NHLers wasn't wise to the shit-storm that would ensue when he tweeted out a photo of a teammate in blackface is baffling, revealing and sad.
Those words will live on in infamy across this network. There's no article here, it's been written already. Keep the comments clean.
Meanwhile, i'm reminded that Bozak and Darryl Boyce have done something like this. I can't find an image, but two halloweens ago, they dressed up as the Jamaican bobsled team from Cool Runnings, according to this Tumblr post and a few people from Twitter.
I think racism is still alive because society keeps it alive. Sure, there is outright hate for some races which is totally and absolutely wrong. But we keep pointing out the differences in races instead of embracing what makes everyone similar.
My point is, if a black guy dressed up as a black guy, this is a non-issue. A white guy did it and somehow it's racist. Screw black, screw white! A human being dressed up as another human being. Why can't we just leave it at that?
I couldn't agree with you more. I strongly doubt that it would be considered racist if someone with dark skin dressed up as someone with white skin.
Why do we always have to point out the color of the skin? Isn't THAT racist in the first place?
I agree with the above comments. I don't think anyone believes Tyler bozak is racist. The media helps it look that way unfortunately.
Ho boy.. People today really have no idea what blackface actually is, do they? Blackface is a white person using makeup to basically create a caricature of a black person FOR THE PURPOSE OF RIDICULE. Neither what Bozak or Torres did was racist or even real blackface. The only stupid thing he did was post it to twitter for all the internet white knights who get their jollies off outrage to see.
I think context matters here. What I see in this image is someone being Michael Jackson for Hallowe'en. I believe this is different from the concept of blackface performers. Simply put, how can one be MJ for Halloween and be white skinned (ironic)? MJ was not Caucasian...at least to most of us.
Don't agree with any of this being "racist". He's dressing up as Michael Jackson. That's it. He used makeup, "not blackface", to look more like M J. No one was in an uproar when Eddie Murphy or Dave Chappelle wore "make-up" to get into character. Just more media trying to create an "uproar" that doesn't exist. Don't believe everything the media prints. A lot of the time it's just to manipulate public opinion. (Greenday's American Idiot comes to mind).
I agree with the first couple comments on this post.
I was talking to my friend about this today and she took offense to it being labelled as racist. To her - calling stuff like this racist only perpetuates racism.
Listen.. my british Grandfather was killed in WWII and I married a German girl. Times change.. and focusing on hate only begets hate.

It's not that he chose to be Michael Jackson for Halloween. That's NOT the problem. The problem is that he chose to use blackface to do it. There are looooooonnnggg associations with blackface as a negative thing, a thing that tokenizes, a thing that's associated with slavery and hate. It's an open mockery. I don't think that he intended offence; I think, like a 2yr old that hears the f-word at the rink and starts using it at home, he just didn't know any better.
As for people of colour dressing up as "white people", it's not technically considered racism if it's against the group in power. And, as much as I'd love to say we've come a long way towards equality for all, white people are still in power and still oppressing - whether they know it or not. Racism is entrenched in a lot of sneaky places. Or wide open spaces like rinks is Czech Republic.
I wish it was as easy as saying we should all be colour-blind, and it is a sort of step in the right direction. But to say, I don't see the colour of your skin is to co-opt another person as 'white" using "white" as the standard for "normal", which is to say that I don't see all the things that contribute to who you are or the experiences you've had as a person of colour. It's saying that you no longer accept that racism exists and have stopped trying to get rid of it. That's the part that isn't cool.
I feel for Tyler Bozak. Gary Bettman has denied him the opportunity to pretend he is a numder one centre in the NHL so he panicked and made a very poor decision on a secondary costume.
It is sad that Bozak would choose this costume and even more sad that Brian Burke considers him a number one centre. He couldn''t be the number one centre on most farm teams.
One word to describe Tyler Bozak; irrelevant.

Graham signs for Sunderland
Sunderland have completed the signing of Danny Graham from Swansea for £5million.
- Related Content
12. Danny Graham
|27 (4)
The striker has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadium of Light, just days after he was booed by some of the Black Cats fans when he appeared against them for the Swans.
Gateshead-born Graham has never made any secret of his affection for the Black Cats' arch-rivals Newcastle and comments he made in a fanzine interview some time ago, in which he was less than complimentary about Sunderland, have not gone down well in the red and white half of the north east.
However, the former Middlesbrough trainee is confident he can prove his doubters wrong as he enters the latest phase of his career.
Graham, who has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract, said: "Of course, I totally understand that some fans might need convincing about my commitment to Sunderland because of my roots, but I've always given 100 per cent no matter what team I play for and no matter who I play against.
"It's up to me to show people I deserve to wear the Sunderland shirt, and I'm excited about playing for a club as big as this.
"I'm really excited about the future, this is a new phase of my career and I can't wait to get started."
Martyn McFadden, editor of Sunderland fanzine 'A Love Supreme', is also confident that Graham can convince his detractors, who have seen former Magpies Lee Clark and Michael Chopra leave the club under a shadow in recent years, that he has a role to play.
McFadden said: "If he succeeds, he will be welcomed; if he fails, he will be questioned.
"But he will earn himself a lot of money by pulling on that red and white shirt, and that's what a professional football does. He does his job for the club which pays his wages.
"He made some comments earlier in his career which he probably wishes he had never made.
"There's no avoiding the fact that he's Newcastle United fan, but there are not many players, if any, at the club who have an affinity historically with Sunderland Football Club.
"We have people from all over the world, none of whom had ever supported or had any interest in Sunderland Football Club before they started playing for it.
"What he said is unfortunate, but he will just have to work even harder and if he does that, he will be a success and the fans will be happy."
Manager Martin O'Neill, who has repeatedly pointed to the statue erected to former Newcastle player Bob Stokoe to mark the FA Cup triumph to which he led the Black Cats in 1973 as evidence that the void can be bridged, had made Graham his top target for the January transfer window as he looked to bolster his attacking options.
Summer signing Steven Fletcher has shouldered much of the burden to date and his 10 goals have proved invaluable.
But with Fraizer Campbell and Louis Saha allowed to leave the club this month and Ji Dong-won out on loan, Graham's capture was the major focus.
Norwich too were keen and Boro made a late enquiry, but despite having to wait for Swansea to agree to sell as they considered options to replace a player who had found himself behind bargain buy Michu in the pecking order at the Liberty Stadium, they held their nerve and eventually got their man.
Graham said: "As soon as I heard about the interest from Sunderland, I didn't even have to consider any of the other options that were on the table.
"I was born and brought up in the north-east, so I know first-hand the intense passion that people have for their football in this part of the world - it's special and there's nowhere else like it."

Chapter 22

13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14 ¶And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord;

Did You Know? Countdown to President's Day (02/16)
Did You Know? Countdown to President's Day
Facts, Figures & Folklore About America's Presidents
February 16 : 05 days till President's Day
Originally intended to celebrate the birthday of the first US President, George Washington, the President's Day holiday has become a general celebration of all past US Presidents.
Did you know that George Washington, according to some historical accounting, was actually the eighth president of the United States, and not the first president?
Washington was sworn in as President on April 30, 1789 at the age of 57. He was the first president elected after the passage of the U.S. Constitution in 1788. From 1781 to 1788, however, the United States had been governed by a document known as the "Articles of Confederation," which set out that there should be one house of Congress without an executive branch.
During that eight-year time period, Congress elected its own president. The first Congressional president was John Hanson, who served a two-year term. Hanson was succeeded by six other Congressional presidents, causing some historians to argue that George Washington was in fact the eighth president of the United States.
So in honor of this upcoming holiday join us as we countdown to President's Day with little know facts, figures, and folklore about America and its Presidents! We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fun fact each day as we countdown to February 21st! So stop by again tomorrow.

Sassy boots!!
"Beautiful boots. This is my first "real"cowboy boot. Very tight across top of foot. I wear a 6 1/2, I always order a 7 because of three past foot surgeries and the custom insoles I wear, but I ordered these in a 7 1/2 because of the reviews. Long, narrow , very pointed toe. Once I get my feet into the boot, too long to walk normally. I actually feel like I'm wearing scuba flippers. I've been walking around the house trying to "learn" how to walk in these fabulous boots. I don't think I'll be able to send them back, they look so good."

Old Gringo Santa Anna
"I picked these boots in brown because the Flicka style ran out in my size before I had a chance to purchase. Now as I check the website I see new Old Gringos to chose from.I absolutely love the boots. They are so pretty as most Old Gringo boots are. The left boot fits my foot and is very comfortable,the right boot is squeezing a little but I'm sure that once "I break them in" it will feel OK. I am so glad I checked DSW-on line for Old Gringo boots because they were very affordable compared to other stores that carry them.Love my western Santa Anna boots."

There seem to be countless remixes of the famed "Levels," but there are few that are truly pioneering and one of which is the work of an Andon Artist, TheFatRat. While still remaining anonymous, he is at it again with his signature disco complextro complete with a little Etta James. With the repetitive nature of electronic music, I feel that some producers have ventured away from the art of songwriting, but TheFatRat proves that there are still artists that are conscious of an arrangement from beginning to end. We have some great things in the works with TheFatRat, but they won't be released until some time next week, so take this awesome tune and keep an eye out for more. Go ♥ it on The Hype Machine HERE!
