Kenneth Ray Wareham was born Aug. 5, 1924, in Ferron to Kenneth and Lyda Wild Wareham. His father was a farmer and coal miner and his grandfather Earnest Wild was also a farmer. Ray was the oldest child of five boys (Ray, Max, Earnest, Dick, and Lee), and one girl (Margaret).
When Ray was a junior in high school, in 1942 during World War II, there was a great demand for coal so Ray went underground. Ray loaded coal by hand along side his dad. At age 16 and a full fledged coal miner, Ray was the richest kid in school. He gained a lot of respect and in his senior year was voted Student Body President at South Emery High School.
In 1943, at age 18, and a senior in high school, Ray enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and did his part to defend the country he loved so much, America. During WWII, he served as a sergeant overseas in the Marshall, Marianas, and Solomon islands. Ray was honorably discharged in 1946.
In 1948, at age 24, Ray went to Kremmling, Colo. to work for DeBerard Cattle Company. It was in Kremmling that Ray met his wife (Maribelle Brown).
Maribelle was born Feb. 7, 1933, on her parent's kitchen table. It was a horribly cold day, being 60 degrees below zero outside. Her parents were Horace Wills Brown (owner of Brown-Jones Merc. Co. and having a franchise for Conoco and International Harvestor Co.) and Loretta Jewell Sharrah Brown (a school teacher). Maribelle was so proud that her parents were both college graduates.
Maribelle was riding quarter horses and thoroughbreds for breeders in the area at the time Ray was working for DeBerards. He mentioned to his cowboy friends that he would like to marry a girl like her someday.
"Marry her! Boy, that's a laugh! She doesn't even date!"
Ray bet those boys 50 cents that he could get a date with her and 14 months later they married in Kremmling, on June 22, 1952. Ray said that it gave him great joy to collect from all those conceited cowboys that 'held so tight to their saddles'.
As part of Ray's wages, Fred DeBard gave him a registered Hereford heifer plus $200 wages each month.
In June, 1953 they moved to Ferron, where they purchased a 60 acre farm with a brick home, a Grade A dairy with 25 head of Jerseys, 1,000 leghorn chickens, two hives of bees, and 120 shares of water for $20,000. They moved in and started a family.
They were so happy when their first son (Wills Philip) was born Oct. 3, 1953, followed by another son (Kit C.) born Aug. 24, 1956, and a daughter (Ginger), born Aug. 20, 1959.
After a few years milking cows, Ray went to the coal mine to supplement his farm income. Ray worked as a coal miner up Huntington Canyon for $30. In 1976, Ray took out his foreman papers and worked as a face boss for Consolidated Coal until he retired in 1983.
In 1966, Ray was honored to be selected as Utah Cattleman of the Year at the Utah Cattlemans Convention in Salt Lake City.
Ray was voted as a member of the Ferron Canal and Reservior Company. The board consisted of President Ellis Wild, Seely J. Peterson, Homer Duncan, John Behling, Carl Larson and Ray Wareham.
It was at this time a decision was made to build Millsite Reservoir. The company only had three years to start the project or they would lose their filing. Where would Ferron be today without Millsite Reservoir?
Ray served as president of the Southeastern Junior Livestock Show for two years and was a board member for several years.
Ray and Maribelle loved to race horses. Maribelle loved barrel racing and competed statewide. At the end of 1963, Maribelle was fourth in the state standings riding a quarter horse stallion Dodger Jim.
Ray was appointed to the Ferron Town Council in 1980. While serving eight years on the town council, the Millsite Golf Course and Millsite State Park were completed. Ray served as Peach Days Chairman for eight years.
Maribelle was the horse 4-H leader for years as their children were growing up and was delighted when her 4-H team earned a second place finish in the state in 1967.
Maribelle fulfilled her life long goal, with her children all in school, she returned to college in 1969. Maribelle did three years in two and graduated Cum Laude from Utah State University in 1971. She taught school in Ferron and Orangeville for 25 years and retired in 1996. If you asked Maribelle what her greatest accomplishments were, she would to say, to meet and marry a man like Ray, move to Utah, raise three beautiful children, have seven wonderful grandchildren, be baptized into the LDS Church in 1962, and be sealed to her husband and children in the Manti Temple, Feb. 3, 1968, going on a LDS mission to Cove Fort 1999-2001, and always serving the Lord.
Maribelle loves being a wife, mother, and grandmother. Not a holiday or birthday goes by that Ray and Maribelle don't celebrate by taking the whole family to dinner and gifts delivered. Ray and Maribelle love to take their grandchildren riding on the mountain and spreading out a picnic lunch along a cool mountain stream.
Maribelle enjoys making a variety of candies and delivering at least 50 plates to neighbors and friends at Christmas.
Both Ray and Maribelle have encouraged their children to become self reliant and have been supportive in helping their children become well educated.
Ray still enjoys working with cattle and helps his son (Wills) farm and take care of his cows. Maribelle loves keeping a beautiful home, working and raising flowers, and doing geneology. She is so proud that she has been responsible for seeing that her ancestors have had their temple ordinances done for them.
Ray and Maribelle have always wanted to be good examples and role models for their children and grandchildren to follow.

U.S. daily package volume increases 4.4%.
Amy Dusto
E-commerce, particularly in the United States, played a direct role in boosting first quarter earnings for United Parcel Service of America Inc., the shipping carrier said today. For the quarter ended March 31, UPS reported revenue of $13.43 billion, up 2.2% from $13.14 billion in Q1 2012. Domestic revenue increased $8.27 billion, up 3.4% from $8.00 billion in Q1 2012, it says.
The carrier delivered 4.4% more packages domestically and 1.8% more internationally in the first quarter than in the same quarter last year, it says.
"UPS results continue to be lifted by e-commerce, as omnichannel strategies are playing a bigger role," the carrier's chief financial officer Kurt Kuehn told investors in an earnings call this morning. "And increased focus by traditional retailers on using their brick-and-mortar locations as distribution sites is creating more pickups at retail locations for ultimate residential delivery."
Roughly 25 major U.S. retailers have signed up to use the carrier's omnichannel services, says Alan Gershenhorn, senior vice president of worldwide sales, marketing and strategy. Those services include UPS CampusShip, which allows retailers to ship products from either a warehouse or store depending on which is closest to a customer; UPS Trade Direct, which consolidates international freight, provides customs clearance and includes delivery to multiple addresses within a destination country; and an array of smaller services, such as helping e-commerce sites offer multiple shipping options and delivery locations, processing returns and allowing customers to track their packages, according to UPS.
"For the retailer, [omnichannel services] enables inventory optimization and less markdowns, and for the consumers it enables faster click-to-deliver times and greater access to retailer inventory," Gershenhorn said in the earnings call.
Additionally, UPS processed 10% more retail returns—that is, delivering returned items from customers back to retailers—in the first quarter than in the same period last year, he says. "Easy returns are obviously an important part of driving consumers to shop online at a retail web site, and we've got a very robust portfolio that provides maximum efficiency, visibility and control for the retailer," he says. Most consumers drop packages for return in UPS drop boxes or at UPS stores, he says.
When asked whether the carrier was also building out same-day delivery services, given the recent tests by U.S. e-retailers of such services, UPS chairman and CEO Scott Davis said the company is experimenting with those capabilities, but he isn't sure they are yet economically feasible.
For the first quarter 2013 in the United States UPS reports:
UPS ranks first among shipping carriers in Internet Retailer's Leading Vendors to the Top 1000 E-Retailers guide. 161 retailers in the Top 500 and 249 in the Second 500 use UPS.

Saracens provisionally moved to the top of the Aviva Premiership standings thanks to a 16-6 victory over Northampton Saints on Saturday.
Saracens provisionally moved to the top of the Premiership standings thanks to a 16-6 victory over Northampton at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
Clear-cut chances were at a premium in this top-of-the-table clash as defences dominated and there aren't many better when it comes to rearguard actions than Saracens.
The match began brightly but, after Owen Farrell and Stephen Myler had exchanged penalties early on, injuries to Myler and Courtney Lawes in quick succession derailed the Saints somewhat.
And the visitors took full advantage as they launched an explosive counter-attack from deep which resulted in Joel Tomkins feeding Alex Goode to score and give his side a 10-3 lead at the break.
A further injury to another of England's leading men, Dylan Hartley, didn't help the home side's cause either and Northampton struggled to find any kind of potency or cutting edge as Sarries just became more defiant and determined in defence as the game wore on.
Replacement Ryan Lamb traded penalties with Farrell at the start of the second half but, despite the added flair and unpredictability that he usually brings to the Saints' backline, he wasn't able to create too many holes in the opposition defence.
Prior to the game, Saracens had conceded just five tries in the Premiership and that statistic remained the same after the final whistle as the meanest and stingiest defence in the league showed all of its tenacity to keep their opponents at bay.
Northampton brought on the likes of Brian Mujati, Alex Waller and Luther Burrell during the course of the second half as they looked to batter the visitors into submission but they did not succeed.
In fact, another three points from Farrell extended the margin of victory to ten points before the end, denying the Saints a losing bonus point and sealing a win that sends Saracens to the top of the table, for the time being at least.
The scorers:
For Northampton:
Pens: Myler, Lamb
For Saracens:
Try: Goode
Con: Farrell
Pens: Farrell 3
Northampton: 15 Stephen Myler, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 George Pisi, 12 Dom Waldouck, 11 Vasily Artemyev, 10 Ryan Lamb, 9 Lee Dickson, 8 GJ Van Velze, 7 Tom Wood, 6 Phil Dowson, 5 Mark Sorenson, 4 Courtney Lawes, 3 Paul Doran Jones, 2 Dylan Hartley (c), 1 Soane Tonga'uiha.

Free Agent Open Thread
Kent Wilson
June 30 2010 10:28PM
I was going to prepare a Flames primer to free agency, but decided not to re-invent the wheel when I saw Haley had already done an admiral job of things. Make sure to visit M&G for a thorugh overview.
I have to say, this is perhaps the murkiest July 1 for the Flames I've seen since the lock-out. Previously, whether facing many or few obstacles, the obstacles were at least apparently obvious.
Not so this year. The Flames cap room is not only tenuous but also completely muddied by Dawes (buy-out?)
Kotalik (uh...waived for an as-of-right-now unclear purpose) and pending $3M+ contract of Ian White (maybe?). The lackluster free agent pool makes things even less certain - we know the Flames want "offense", but there's no clear method to acquire the requisite players. Big trade on it's way? Almost every Flame worth anything on the trade market has a NTC. And the club doesn't have much in the way of prospects or draft picks to dangle either.
As such, we enter things almost completely blind. There's a chance the coming week will end without any significant changes whatsoever. And probably an equal chance the face of the team may have been altered irrevocably. We can only sit back and watch as things unfold. And hope.
Anyways, Pat, Bob, Myself and Ross Creek will endeavor to keep up with on-the-spot updates and analysis as things come down tomorrow. Feel free to share you comments, questions, fears, hopes, dreams and reactions in the comments.
Buffalo needs another defender. I wonder what they would give up for Sarich. My guess is maybe a 3rd. Its more a salary dump than anything else.

A 30-year romance came full circle at Sky Ridge Medical Center with a transformation that began under a doctor's knife.
Kurt and Mary were high school sweethearts who parted ways to move on to separate lives, with marriages and families that kept them apart for more than two decades.
Kurt was in his mid-40s and divorced when he decided to try to find his long lost love. He knew her maiden name and that she last lived in California. Beyond that, he had little more to share with the private detective he hired to help him reconnect with the woman he never stopped loving.
When he finally found Mary in 2003, he discovered she too was divorced, still carried a torch for him and had, like him, become "morbidly obese," he said.
Within a year of reconnecting, the two married and began making up for lost time. Since their wedding day, they have lost count of the number of honeymoon trips they have taken.
The only hitch was, with the health issues that came with their weight issues, the clock was ticking away.
"We were looking at seven, eight years together already and knew that in 10 more years, if we didn't do something, one of us would be gone," Kurt said, his eyes welling up at the memory. "We had to do something."
The "something" they opted for was gastric bypass surgery at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. The drastic measure was not an easy choice, particularly for Mary, who suffered myriad medical conditions resulting in a phobia of doctors and surgical procedures.
But the alternative, to accept a short term of their romance, was not an option. They began the three-month therapy and consultations required by most insurance companies and selected Dr. Frank Chae of the Sky Ridge Medical Center Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. Chae was their first choice because of the welcoming attitude of his office staff, Kurt said.
Kurt's surgery date was Oct. 11, 2010. He weighed 376 pounds. By the time Mary went in for her surgery on Nov. 1, 2010, Kurt had dropped 50 pounds.
Kurt and Mary participated in the Sky Ridge Medical Center Pants Across Sky Ridge celebration Jan. 26, with a makeover and unveiling at the Sky Ridge runway show. The unveiling was a second for them, following their 2011 holiday reveal to their friends and family, where Kurt's mother did not recognize her son for several minutes. They asked to keep their last names confidential because they have yet to disclose their surgery choice to friends and family.
To date, the two have lost a combined 336 pounds and, now in their mid-50s, look forward to many more years and many more honeymoons together.
"We didn't get back together until we were older," Mary said. "We already knew we only had limited time together. We both bought 10, 20 more years. We both got a buddy, we keep each other in line."

FIFA U20 World Cup Review
Now that the FIFA U20 World Cup is over and all the trophies have been assigned, let's have a look at which players we need to keep an eye in the near future.
Let's start with the goalscorers.
The past results of this category show us that perhaps this is not the best way to find the best strikers; previous winners of this category that later turned into goal machines were Lionel Messi (2005) and Sergio Aguero (2007) however, we also find shooting stars such as Adiyah from Ghana (2009), Henrique from Brazil (2011), Eddie Johnson from USA (2003) and Pablo Couñago from Spain (1999).
The Golden shoe for the 2013 edition got awarded to Ebenezer Assifuah (Ghana) with 6 goals scored, ahead of Bruma (Portugal) and Jese (Spain) whom both scored 5 goals.
The impression I've got from watching the games live is that among these 3, Bruma seems the one destined to have the best career. Assifuah needs to join a European League before he can be judged; as far as Jese, the rumors are that despite his obvious skills, he's yet to have the right mentality to become a top player and that's why he's yet to play with the first squad of Real Madrid. We'll see what the future holds for him. I know Lopez very well as he was among Roma squad this past season and will join Udinese on a co-ownership for the 2013-2014 season which I find to be a perfect location for him to grow patiently, learn from Master Di Natale and start finding the net constantly.
I've also got a very good impression from Croatian Rebic and Chileans Castillo and Henriquez; the first two could be potential leading actors in the transfer markets to come while Henriquez could slowly make his way up to Manchester United first team.
The golden glove for the 2013 edition was awarded to Uruguay's goalkeeper Guillermo De Amores; very good goalkeeper, however it's a questionable decision as France's, Alphonse Areola, gave the trophy to his team thanks to his numerous great saves during the final match. In my opinion they are both destined to be top goalkeepers.
Previous winner of this trophy were Portuguese Mika (2011) who so far is yet to find space in a top team, and Alvarado from Costa Rica (2009) who's been Az starting goalkeeper in the last two seasons.
The golden ball is awarded to the best player of the tournament, the silver ball to the second best and the bronze one to the third.
France's captain Paul Pogba was awarded the golden ball, Uruguayan Nicolas Lopez the silver one and Clifford Aboagye from Ghana.
The award is apparently selected by media poll. The outcome of the vote seems both political and simplistic as if either there was the purpose to please the top three teams or perhaps the journalists, as often happened for the FIFA Golden Ball, they vote for the most representative players without actually having knowledge of the games or bother watching them carefully.
Don't get me wrong, these 3 players are very good footballers and will have great careers, however, the purpose of these award is to reward the best 3 players in the tournament no matter what their name is or the color of their jersey.
Speaking about midfielders, France defensive midfielders Pogba and Kondogbia were above everyone and the fact they play regularly in Italy and Spain is the prove; as far as attacking midfielders Porto's new signing and Colombia's captain Quintero was also above everyone else in that role.
Iraq's Humam Tariq was also a pleasant surprise of the tournament while his teammate Mahdi Kamil seems a potentially good center midfielder but needs to grow physically.
With no doubt the best playmaker was Atletico Madrid Oliver Torres; watching him play live with Spain was a real pleasure, the way he moves with and without the ball is pure magic and breath taking to watch; Spain has probably found Xavi's substitute for La Roja.
Let's have a look at defenders.
By far France Foulquier was the best right defender and many offensive game plays of his team depended on his runs and overlaps; same thing for Digne on France left back position and his recent expensive transfer to PSG is the prove. Iraqi Ali Adnan was also a positive surprise of the tournament and took his team all the way to the semi-final with his plays.
Center defenders wise, Uruguay captain Silva showed solidity all through the tournament while Colombian Vergara is making AC Milan fans daydreaming of having found after many years the successor of Desailly.
Let's now have a look at what could be the ideal top 11, with a classic 1-4-4-2, and the hypothetical bench.
Goalkeeper: Areola (France)
Right Back: Foulquier (France)
Center Defender: Vergara (Colombia)
Center Defender: Silva (Uruguay)
Left Back: Digne (France)
Right Midfielder: Bruma (Portugal)
Center Midfielder: Pogba (France)
Center Midfielder: Quintero (Colombia)
Left Midfielder: Acheampong (Ghana)
Forward: Lopez (Uruguay)
Forward: Assifuah (Ghana)
Golakeeper: De Amores (Uruguay)
Left Back: Ali Adnan (Iraq)
Center Defender: Zouma (France)
Right Back: Manquillo (Spain)
Center Midfielder: Kondogbia (France)
Center Midfielder: Oliver Torres (Spain)
Center Midfielder: Humam Tariq (Iraq)
Forward: Castillo (Chile)
Forward: Henriquez (Chile)
Forward: Jese (Spain)
Forward: Rebic (Croatia)
A special mention goes to Spanish player Deulofeu; he was impressive during the first match played by his team, but his tournament went downhill from there as his physical condition was not the best. He's probably the best pure talent that played in this World Cup but unfortunately didn't show all his potential; he will have a chance to do so with Everton as he was loaned by Barcelona for a year to the Premiership Team.

We just about had an eyeball pop out of our skull yesterday afternoon when that article got emailed into OilersNation Central Command ™. Brownlee had already sent in his piece about the Oilers tuning out ol' MacT. Then about 15 minutes later he sent a one paragraph addendum to the post which has now made the internet do that stand-in-place-dancing-on-the-tip-toes-and-waving-your-hands-in-a-blind-panic type of thing. It ain't a texty from Kay-Z but we will take an 11th hour email from Brownlee any day. He has mad connections and his stories do too. TSN, SportsNet, hfboards, edmontonoilers.com, some sites in the states we had never heard of. Everyone swung by the OilersNation to read this terrible, terrible news. Are we happy? No. That's how dire the situation is.
Personally we doubt Souray will leave town. But we do think if there is ever a signal that a Super Star can send to the upper management that a change is necessary this is it. Everyone is super pissed off and change should come this week which will quieten things down in the mean time. But we do think that the Souray-for-Captain talk should tone down afterwards though. Say what you want about Ethan Moreau he was there facing the media whereas Captain-in-waiting Souray ducked out and didn't answer any questions from anyone about anything. Doesn't sound like he is quite ready to wear the "C" to us. Still if there is ever a sign that a regime change is necessary this is it. We think morale is at an all time low within the dressing room. Everyone is unhappy from the sounds of things. Free agents aren't signing (insert one of a hundred names here), players aren't re-upping (Cole) Stars are unhappy (Hemsky, Souray) players are underperforming (Penner, Horcoff.)
So with MacT out (praise to everything and everyone) it's time to go shopping for a new Coach. With everything down in the dumps it sounds to us like whoever comes in here and does a decent job of coaching is going to be hailed as a genius.
- "Of course Coach is a genius. Look at Penner!"
- "Thank gods Coach is here. Look how elevated the game of Souray and Hemsky. See how happy they are?"
- "Look at Coach. So smart. He personally flew down and convinced (insert next year's Erik Cole here) and look how good he is doing."
- "We love Coach. See how drunk we are at this here playoff game?"
Yep, we are ready for a new genius up here. And we know who it should be:
Brent Sutter.
Talk about a new dynamic for the Battle of Alberta. Having a Sutter involved in each side of the Battle of Alberta would be wicked. Sutter v Sutter. That would be a new remix of our favorite song that would be awesome. Like if Souljaboy remixed Savin Me by Nickelback. Yep, Brent Sutter comes here, this team makes the playoffs next year. You should write that down somewhere. File it under "things not worth writing down because they are unlikely to occur."
Anyways, like we said:
Playoff predictions
Blah blah blah playoffs so important. Blah blah Eastern Conference sends delegate to get curb stomped in the Cup Finals. No way the East wins the Cup this year. Believe that. We will take bets on the matter too if you are so inclined.
Bruins (1) v Canadiens (8)
What the hell happened in the East this year? Weren't the Bruins brutal? And we thought the Habs were lighting the league on fire. Weren't they in first place at some point this year? Oh yeah, then half the team became patch wearing Hells Angels and things started to fall into the crapper. (Insert smug grin here as a problem Edmonton doesn't have is finally revealed.) We read somewhere that Bruins Stud Tim Thomas used to be Oilers property at one point in the late 90s and returned half his signing bonus in order to be released from the team. Now he is the man.
Bruins in 5.
Capitals (2) v Rangers (7)
Caps and Rangers. Ovechkin vs Blair Betts? What kind of matchup is that? A mismatch, that's what kind. And we don't even care who else is in the lineup for either team. We are so confident that the Caps will smash the Rangers we are willing to declare this series to be our Wanye Lock of the East™. And you just don't throw around meaningless guarantees like that unless you have done some homework on the matter.
Capitals in 6.
Devils (3) v Hurricanes (6)
Well well well. You won't believe this Nation but apparently Erik Cole can help a team make the playoffs. He goes back to Carolina, they catch fire, he catches fire and they make it to the big show.
Screw you Erik Cole.
Devils in 7.
Penguins (4) v Flyers (5)
Bah. We can't even be bothered to look at the lineups here. The detective agency of Crosby, Malkin and Company should have enough good men on the job to solve the mystery of Martin Biron and get into round two. Does Murray Craven still play for the Flyers? How about Tommy Soderstrom?
Who cares.
Penguins in 7 .
Final shameless plug for the Draft
Did you enter the draft yet? Seriously you should. You can win Hudson's GCs and impress the socks off a member of the fairer sex as you pick up the tab without so much as a glance at the total. And we think today is the last day. Or tomorrow. Or something.
Make it devils in 6 and I agree with your picks(if not your "logic".

Bruins in 6 Caps in 5 Carolina in 7 Pitt in 7
Maybe Souray ducked the exit-interviews because he didn't want to have to comment on Mac T's future? He's obviously too honorable to lie and say he likes Mac T as a coach, so he took the high road and slithered out of town without a word. Dead sexy move if you ask me.

Arrrrgh . . . I hate to have to agree with Wanye twice in two days, but he's got the winners right here too. I'm still picking different game number combinations just to avoid being accused of piggybacking someone else's picks. More chance for upsets in the East than the West, but . . .
Beantown VS Habs: Boston is this year's Beast from the East. I don't care who they face in the first round; unless their whole starting line-up tries to learn to run a snowblower in the next couple weeks, they're moving through. Bears in 5.
Ovechkin VS Avery: Are we still talking about this? Caps in 5, and I'm giving Broadway the benefit of the doubt here.
The Series With Too Much Black, Red, and White: Even with Erik Cole sounding the Storm Warning, I don't see Hell freezing over this year. One last ride for Martin Brodeur starts with NJ in 6.
the Flyers VS the Non-Flyers: If there's going to be an upset, this series has the most potential. Pretty evenly matched, a lot will rest on the shoulders of a few in Pitt. One injury could decide the series, but on the surface it looks like the small, swimming birds (Who the heck picked a penguin as an imposing team mascot? Had the never seen the game of hockey before deciding on that? Did they think they were naming a figure-skating team? I digress . . .) will pull this out in 6.
Book it.

Wanye, are you saying that qualification to be captain is based on media availability and who talks to the press more? n----- please. this is what PR firms and execs are for. i don't care who the captain of this team is as long as he sets an example of respect, honesty, hard work and intelligence. Moreau has at one point or another (particularly today with the rolling webcam fiasco) proven to be just the opposite of those four traits. i'm not saying souray is some kind of exemplar human, but moreau is a dud of a captain.

"I bought this shoe in red, and though they do remind me of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz (they're as vibrant as the photo suggests), they're definitely a cute pair of shoes that I will wear often :)My only issue is that the shoe isn't exactly padded on the bottom at all and has a very thin bottom--as in, I can feel the floor as I walk on it, through the shoe. I'm sure it'll be fine for walking on sidewalks or indoors, but probably not a good idea to walk in rocky/gravelly areas with them.The glitter is also very glittery--just a thought."

Shortly after 10 a.m., searchers located a body in the foothills above Orangeville. A Utah Highway Patrol helicopter was dispatched to lift the body out of the remote, rugged area.
An Emery County man went missing in that area in December. Emery County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue Team conducted searches at that time, both by air and land, but were hampered by winter snowfall. Other organized searches have been conducted recently with negative results. This morning's search was organized by a lieutenant from the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The search group consisted of individuals from the missing man's church. During the search, the lieutenant located a body.
The body has been transported to the State Medical Examiner's Office for positive identification and to determine cause of death.

"The Queen has tried to stay up to date, practicing yoga and learning to surf the Internet, but decades of pomp and circumstance have taken their toll and Her Majesty needs a break. She sets off alone -- well-disguised in a skull-motif hoodie -- on a train to Scotland, only to be pursued by a motley crew of royal attendants determined to bring her home before she creates a royal scandal. This debut novel is thoroughly fresh and charming, an imaginative story about the most famous woman who almost no one really knows."
— Jody Misner Chwatun, Saturn Booksellers, Gaylord, MI
After decades of service and years of watching her family's troubles splashed across the tabloids, Britain's Queen is beginning to feel her age. An unexpected opportunity offers her relief: an impromptu visit to a place that holds happy memories the former royal yacht, Britannia, now moored near Edinburgh. Hidden beneath a skull-emblazoned hoodie, the limber Elizabeth (thank goodness for yoga) walks out of Buckingham Palace and heads for King's Cross to catch a train to Scotland. But a colorful cast of royal attendants has discovered her missing. In uneasy alliance a lady-in-waiting, a butler, an equerry, a girl from the stables, a dresser, and a clerk from the shop that supplies Her Majesty's cheese set out to bring her back before her absence becomes a national scandal.
Comic and poignant, fast-paced and clever, Mrs Queen Takes the Train tweaks the pomp of the monarchy, going beneath its rigid formality to reveal the human heart of the woman at its center.

Skip to comments.Arpaio: GOP Candidates 'Hiding' From Eligibility
Posted on 04/09/2012 1:06:09 AM PDT by Flotsam_Jetsome
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio told a radio host today hes met with Republicans including every one of the GOP presidential candidates and has come to the conclusion theyre as guilty as Democrats of hiding questions about Barack Obamas eligibility to be president.
As WND reported, Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse conducted an extensive examination of documents released by the White House last April purported to be Obamas original, long-form birth certificate and Selective Service registration card, only to conclude there is probable cause the documents are actually forgeries.
Yet despite his findings, Arpaio told Aaron Klein Investigative Radio on New Yorks WABC Radio that media and politicians alike are afraid to touch the issue.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Yeah they are. But you know what I'm thinking? My thought on this is not that they won't ever take it up, it's that they know they only have one chance if they do.
If Newt, Rick or Mitt ever take up the eligibility issue they will have to be able to prove, immediately, unquestionably, and absolutely that they have the goods. If they don't they will be massacred by the media (rhetorically speaking).
It would also be a full declaration of war against the Obama administration and could possibly convince him that his only chance to avoid prison is to assume supreme power and govern directly. And if that means whipping up race riots, declaring martial law, ordering the Supreme Court into recess, or even locking them up, he'll do it.
At that stage he would have nothing to lose.
Bearing that in mind, it's very possible they might be waiting for exactly the right moment and forum to play that card. If that's the case, it's probably a smart move.
Of course, they might also be chicken.
I havent heard from any, Arpaio said, especially the congressional delegation from Arizona.
Sheriff Joe calling out the coward pols Ping.
If they refuse to broach this issue, then they themselves are criminal, and we have enough of those already.
In case you hadn't noticed, he's kinda gearing up for that already. The Supreme Court demand/order will probably come after they repudiate Obamacare, and right before the second run on the banks/market. I don't think we're going to get out of this pResidency without some MAJOR Stow High In Transit going down. All it takes is the right pretext.
" You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
Rahm "Bath House" Emanuel
Who is afraid of the Islamofascist?
Sounds like a good marching chant to me.
I'm afraid you're right.
Yes, but the truth has a way of sticking around. The voters know little about this man, and are curious to know.
One thing that bothers me about Romney is the apparent lack of statesmanship in the man, besides being wishy washy. Our country is on a road to nowhere right now.
Joe got it right -- cowards, all!
Good morning all,
"When will it come to a head?"
The Republican Party and all of our so called Conservative talk show and TV hosts are damn cowards, leaving Sheriff Joe out on a limb like this.
I say third party with Joe for President.
What's to lose?
Obligatory. There's a surprising amount of the lyrics that could be ascribed to the USA, if personified.
And if our Republic falls, there's not much in the way of places to go in the world to outrun the metastasizing global tyranny.
Joe Arpaio is right there! He says what everybody knows. Nobody will uphold the Constitution.
Arpaio-Lakin 2012
No really.
He never should have surrendered the office to a FOREIGNER!
My money is on "chicken.".
"At that stage he would have nothing to lose."
At that stage, he WILL lose.
Of COURSE they are scared to death to ask that question.
Anyone who even dares to bring this up is attacked from all quarters in the media, branded a RACIST, a kook, a nutjob, etc.
They are the subject of Top 10 lists on LEterman, and skits on Saturday Night Live.
The Dems sick the IRS and justice on you, like they are doing to Arapio. Lots of people don't dare to mention this.
I'm linking this to my Facebook, along with the press conference.
I try to keep Facebook non-political, but liberals are firing shots routinely on Facebook.
The truth needs to come out. If you vote Obama, fine, but you're voting for a fraud. It is what it is.
1. Back in 1961 people of color were called 'Negroes'. So how can the Obama birth certificate state he is 'African-American' when the term wasn't even used at that time?
2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is age 25 years old and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth and 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate". Wikipedia about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_Colony
3. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
Obama either doesn't know or he doesn't care that we aren't all as shockingly ignorant as his Democrat constituency.
Nice to see Joe catching up with reality.
But it was already obvious four years ago that not a single Republican leader cared a whit about the imperative provisions of the Constitution, when not a one of them would raise the question in the Congress when the electoral votes were tallied.
They are the subject of Top 10 lists on LEterman, and skits on Saturday Night Live.
Yeah, the problem is much bigger than one person. No one wants to acknowledge the kind of conflict this portends.
I'm sure the MSM will open their ridicule faucet full blast on Joe if he brings everything to the surface. You can count on it.
One of our local AM radio talk host who acted conservative on all/most issues was right in line with the dictate not to touch the birth issue. He would slur the birther thing, just like the liberals and would not touch it.
Two weeks ago, there was a big shakeup in DFW AM radio. Fox news radio is no longer on the air (for what they were worth) and Bolton has been dismissed. The new format promises no yelling on the radio. Passive go along/get along types.
Guess the media should have exposed the fraud when they had the chance. Now no one will touch it now. They are all afraid of losing the FCC license. All opposition is being removed prior to the election.
Roberts had an obligation not to swear the guy in. The electoral college had an obligation to make sure he was qualified. All the state and county voting offices had an obligation to check to make sure he was qualified to be on their ballot. Nancy Pelosi had an obligation not to certify him as the DNC's candidate knowing he was not a citizen.
Please take you disinformationalist BULLSH*T elsewhere. Stamps were being issued that referred to Kenya in 1935.
And the Nordyke twins birth certificates list the same hospital you claim did not exist in 1961.
Get lost.
Yes Eternal, and every US Senator signed the non-actionable resolution confirming their belief that -
My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen, Chertoff replied. That is mine, too, said Leahy.
Every member of Congress read Obama's "Fightthesmears" web site in which Obama honestly told us "I am a native-born citizen of the US." Congressmen should all know, but most citizens don't, that what Obama told us was that he is a 14th Amendment naturalized citizen. Because of his alien father Barry is not natural born, nor did he ever claim to be. He just knew he would never be asked by the media, and that no legislator would raise the issue because John McCain was not eligible either.
There were two actions, S.2678 in Feb 2008 sponsored by Obama and McCaskill, the the Children of Military Families Natural Born Citizen Act. which did not pass, and would in any case have failed the judicial review Barack clearly doesn't care for. It was a statute, a law, and could not have changed the Constitution. Every Senator knew that McCain needed an act to become eligible, but S.2678 did not pass. Then, in April 2008, six weeks later, the Senate Judiciary Committee considered the McCaskill/Leahy/Clinton resolution to create the political impression that McCain had been made eligible. Most don't know what a 'resolution' is, and neither did this writer, but some reading shows a resolution to be an non-actionable opinion "John McCain served the country so we all agree that this time we will just ignore the Constitution." Two bills in six weeks as Barack moved behind the curtains to become the candidate. McCain as an opponent was needed to quiet any congressman tempted to honor, protect, and defend the Constitution.
Terms are not defined in the Constitution - by design. Natural born citizenship was common-law, known to everyone at the time of the framing of the Constitution. One source, of dozens, was cited by Chief Justice John Marshall in an 1814 decision, The Venus, 12 US 253. Chief Justice Morrison Waite needed the definition because there was no Constitutional definition other than Article II Section 1 of who were citizens. Most citizens were natural born citizens, but the framers wouldn't leave eligibility requirement for the president to Congress. Defining who were naturalized citizens was left by Article I Section 8, to congress, which didn't get around to defining citizens until 1868, the 14th Amendment. Chief Justice Waite turned common-law, "born on the soil to parents who were its citizens," into positive law - precedence. That was in Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162 (1875). No judge, legislator, or pundit who fails to address the crystalline definition of natural born citizen in Minor is worth listening to. They are lying to cover their complicity. The law is there, and clear. That the case is precedent will be clear to anyone who takes the time to read Minor. Remember, Justice Waite said that because Virginia Minor is a natural born citizen, she is also a citizen. It sounds redundant, but remember, before 1868, the Amendment at issue in the case, there was no other constitutional definition of who were citizens. Remember too that 14th Amendment citizens, like Obama, are, by definition, 'naturalized citizens.'
It doesn't say that. In fact birth certificates never list the race of the child, only the parents.
Most were born as natural born subjects of England.
It is my opinion that Obama did not create it. I believe it to be the creation of the Department of Health in Hawaii, and that is why it is so amateurish.
1. Back in 1961 people of color were called Negroes. So how can the Obama birth certificate state he is African-American when the term wasn't even used at that time?
I regard this as evidence that the original record created in 1961 was NOT created in a hospital where it was likely they would have used a normal classification of race. This point reinforces the idea that his original birth certificate is based on a "born at home" affidavit filled out by his grandmother, and she put "African" down because she didn't know any better.
2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obamas birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obamas birth, it also shows that his father is age 25 years old and that Obamas father was born in Kenya, East Africa. This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obamas birth and 27 years after his father's birth.
This point is completely wrong. Yes, Kenya did exist prior to 1961. The entire region had been called "Kenya" for over a hundred years or more. Someone has even posted a Kenyan postage stamp from the 1950s. I couldn't find that stamp, but I did find this from 1957.
How could Obamas father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the British East Africa Protectorate. Wikipedia about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_Colony
The local people called themselves "Kenyans". They didn't care what was the Official British name for themselves. Since the place of Father's birth was being told by a native Kenyan, I am not going to worry about what the British thought it should be called. It is completely irrelevant. Apart from that, according to the stamps on this web page, even the British referred to it as Kenya.
3. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called KauiKeolani Children's Hospital and Kapiolani Maternity Home, respectively. The name did not change to Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
This assertion is complete nonsense. The Nordyke's 1961 birth certificates also says "Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital. "
That is a FACT. Arguing that it shouldn't be so is ignoring reality.
Obama either doesn't know or he doesn't care that we aren't all as shockingly ignorant as his Democrat constituency.
Maybe not ignorant, but being misinformed is a worse condition. As Reagan said: "The trouble with our opponents is not that they are ignorant... it's that they know so much which isn't so. "
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently at least 40 % of American voters are gladly willing to give him the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.
Dictator Obama has designed Obamacare to be active only AFTER he is re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals.
His deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obamas past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obamas probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.
Will the Citizen Journalists such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?
I dont know, I havent seen it. Im just at the same place you are on that. You read this, you read that. But I dont understand why he didnt show that right away. I mean, if someone asked for my birth certificate, Id get my baby book and hand it out and say Here it is, so I dont know.Link
Isn't that the case anyhow, so what do any of them have to lose?
"But it was already obvious four years ago that not a single Republican leader cared a whit about the imperative provisions of the Constitution, when not a one of them would raise the question in the Congress when the electoral votes were tallied."
We do need another hero. Aren't there ANY Republics or Democrats that are not up for reelection to take this on.
Or, would they not want to risk themselves and there family's security by taking this third rail. This hot potato.
Why didnt someone investigate this? I mean, where is everybody? Arpaio asked Klein. How come the federal agencies arent investigating? Were dealing with federal issues here. So everybodys hiding, and theyre still hiding.
Why isn't there a revolt from rank and file law enforcement members of the FBI? The Secret Service?
Don't they care about their children? Their country?
They want to let a Marxist, foreigner, forger, criminal, enemy combatant, dictator bankrupt their children's future and imprison their freedoms?
Obama is like a blackmailer. They DON'T go away.
It will NOT get better only WORSE.
Why is Obama unhindered from destroying this country?
It's astounding how many have aided this treason.
I'm almost tempted to tell my long-term congressman when he calls for support that he should uphold the Constitution and protect the nation from enemies both foreign and domestic like he took an oath to do when he was sworn in, and then I'll consider whether or not I want to vote for him.
Let the onus be on them for once.
Then they are not worthy to call themselves Americans. This is not a game, even though they seem to think it is.
With running mate, Jan Brewer.
Kinda like Mitt the fall guys dad was a Mexican.
The GOP has turned into the DNC II.
"...few of our prominent citizens were natural born citizens..." True, but the Art. II language goes on "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution..." So the Founders were clear as crystal on this requirement, 14 years post founding. They anticipated that their generation would not be around for but a few more elections and were likely biased toward those who were born here and Citizens in 1789. So, for example, Alexander Hamilton was unlikely to be considered as eligible.
"Most citizens were natural born citizens, but the framers wouldn't leave eligibility requirement for the president to Congress"
That is incorrect. Almost all U.S. citizens at that time were citizens at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. They were almost all born as natural born subjects to the Crown of England.
Now the $16 Trillion question: Why don't these agencies DO anything about it?
As long as the fraud is allowed to remain in place, the presidency is completely compromised and "Obama" is open to blackmail by any foreign government with a semi-decent intelligence service.
That's not even getting into all of the unconstitutional bs the guy and his Marxist fellow travelers are being allowed to get away with because all of the "powers that be" know that his pResidency is unconstitutional from the get-go.

I'm glad you saved the correct answer until the end of your post. That's exactly it.
Over and above their fear of what getting plastered with the "birther" label might do to their reelection chances, I've become convinced that they've all been convinced (at least in their own self-serving minds) that "pulling down" America's Historic First Black President would have catastrophic consequences for national security.
Just deal with four years of this "green" joker's ineptitude and then let him and the constitutional questions concerning his eligibility or lack thereof quietly fade into the background of history when he's voted out upon completing a single term.
After all, how much damage could the guy and his Marxist fellow travelers do in that short amount of time?
As I see it, along with others, is that the Founders recognized the dilemma of excluding from the POTUSA existing citizens of the colonies. The Founders very knowingly crafted into the Constitution that these existing/living citizens and only these would be exempt from the 'natural born citizen' mandate.

Skip to comments.Lou Reed recovering after liver transplant
Posted on 05/31/2013 10:22:02 PM PDT by Olog-hai
Lou Reed, the US songwriter, poet and vocalist with the Velvet Underground, had a liver transplant last month, according to his wife, the musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson.
Its as serious as it gets. He was dying. You dont get it for fun, said Anderson, who added that her husband was now on the road to recovery following the life-saving surgery.
Reed, 71, canceled a number of concerts in April and had surgery in Cleveland rather than in his native New York due to what Anderson described as the dysfunctional hospitals in his home town.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson? I had no idea! Love that about the hospitals. Freud called it the reality principle.
Best of luck, Mr. Reed. Back in the day he put on a hell of a show.
I had the same reaction you did to Lou being married to Anderson. I wonder if she calls him "O Superman"?
I'll never have another reason to post this on FR, so I better do it while I got the chance. This is better than the original IMO.
Laurie Anderson, O' Superman Matt Mix Remaster
Maybe "Captain" ;-)
Walk on the wild side is a great song, but livers don't live long pickled.
I got a chance to meet Lou Reed on his promotional tour with John Cale for "Songs for Drella" the Andy Warhol tribute album.
The album is quite remarkable in its own right especially since Reed and Cale were seemingly estranged since their Velvets days.
I saw him perform at the Syria Mosque in the 80's here and he put on a great show live. One of those artists that I'm happy to say I've seen while they were alive.
Despite his obvious liver abuse from the R&R lifestyle and age I'm glad to see he has a shot at more life.
As a transplant recipient I am happy for Lou Reed but how about acknowledging the donor or the donor's families loss. There are liver transplants that can be done with living donors but she sounds cold,
"You send out two planes one for the donor, one for the recipient at the same time. You bring the donor in live, you take him off life support. It's a technological feat.
"I was completely awestruck. I find certain things about technology truly, deeply inspiring."
No compassion for the donor or the family. Maybe, it was an exerpt of the interview.
Lou Reed has been on Rudy Giuliani's case longer than FreeRepublic:
From "Sick of You"
"My arms and legs are shrunk the food all has lumps
They discovered some animal no one's ever seen
It was an inside trader eating a rubber tire
After running over rudy giuliani
They say the president's dead but no one can find his head
It's been missing now for weeks
But no one noticed it he had seemed so fit
And I'm sick of it
I'm sick of you
I'm so sick of you, bye, bye, bye"
Is Lou a Hep Cat?
Didn't Lou break a leg or ankle in Cleveland several years ago?
Well, I'll have to take that back as far as jazz goes . . . apparently he was inspired by Ornette Coleman, the free-jazz saxophonist. Even worked with Coleman on "The Raven".
Intro/Sweet Jane
Is there an age limit where people are no longer eligible for transplants? Or is it all based on money and fame and political acumen?
I discovered the Velvet Underground in the 80's and loved them. For some strange reason I also adore his album "Berlin"
Ger well Mr. Reed.
I didn't now they were married either. Get well soon Lou!
I'd say something about the pow- pow-power of positive drinking, but that seems wrong.
71? A liver transplant? What younger person who didn't drink themselves into the need for one, went without?
I had an aunt in her sixties who needed a lung transplant (didn't smoke) & couldn't get one because she was "too old". Needless to say, she died.
Great, um, song. Not that I have any idea how accurately it represents the experience.
No way. And if I did, it was a long, long time ago. But I don't.
I wonder if he used the Cleveland Clinic. People with the means fly there for heart surgery, too.
My oldest brother had a liver transplant in 1989, he passed away 5 years ago and it wasn't due to his liver. It's not easy dealing with a new liver it changed his life forever but it can be done. Prayers for a long healthy life!
I assume that is a rhetorical question.
Of course being famous, rich or well-connected has it's advantages. Always has and always will. It's neither right or wrong but just the way of the world.
If you are just a 71-year-old regular Joe living on social security checks, you can forget about a liver transplant. So just cut back on the whiskey sours and blow the leftover money at the race track or the casino.
Rock and Roll Animal, baby!
Funny...I'm only a few years younger than Reed,David Crosby and others and I've never needed a liver transplant.The most exciting thing,medically speaking,that's ever happened to me is having had a hip replacement.But then I've never done heroin...or coke...or guys.
Did you know Lou Reed died today? He was a massive talent... may he rest in peace.
Lou Reed died today - thought you might want to know... From your link:
'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom. Hi Mom!
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,
Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.
First heard it today from you. Dunno if it's related to this liver transplant.
