Ottawa, UBC, Alberta, Trinity advance
SHERBROOKE, Que. (February 28, 2013) - The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees women's volleyball team advanced to the semifinal round of the 2013 CIS Women's Volleyball Championship thanks to their 3-0 sweep of the host Sherbrooke Vert et Or on Thursday night.
Third seeded Ottawa will face the seventh seeded Alberta Pandas in the 8 p.m. semifinal on Friday night. Also advancing to the Final Four were Trinity Western University and five-time defending champions UBC Thunderbirds.
"Our team spirit is incredible," said rookie middle Sophie Chenail, who earned player of the game honours for Ottawa playing in front of her hometown Sherbrooke crowd. "They were there all year always cheering with me and smiling with me, telling me to keep working. I'll remember this for a long time."
In the other quarterfinal matches Thursday, the Trinity Western University Spartans defeated Dalhousie University 25-13, 25-18, 25-19, the UBC Thunderbirds beat l'Université Laval Rouge et Or 25-21, 25-12, 25-19 and University of Alberta Pandas upset second-seed l'Université de Montréal 25-15, 25-12, 16-25, 25-7.
The Thunderbirds are vying for a sixth straight Canadian title which would tie a record.
"In the first round, lots of things can happen, especially against an experienced team," said UBC's head coach Doug Reimer. "So I'm how happy with how we hung in there and weathered the storm, to a degree, and played with composure to win that first set."
The semifinals are on Friday while the men`s tournament gets underway at l'Université Laval in Quebec City with the quarterfinals.

Despite a promising economic surge immediately after the collapse of the East-West divide in the early 1990s, today's Hungary is troubled by persistent financial crisis and uncertainty.
Hungary is home to the fourth largest Jewish population in Europe—a community going through an inspiring renaissance following decades of religious repression under Communism preceded by the trials of the Second World War.
Yet, the current recession climate poses serious challenges to Hungary's Jewish community, which is struggling to care for the elderly and children at risk falling through the seams of the country's deficient safety net.
Today, in collaboration with the local community, JDC:
- Saves Hungary's poorest Jews by providing thousands of elderly—many of them Holocaust survivors—with hot meals, home care, winter relief, and medical attention. At-risk youth and their families receive vital relief services and financial support to meet their essential needs.
- Revitalizes Jewish life by connecting those who were cut off from Jewish traditions and culture for decades to innovative learning opportunities like Judafest in the streets of Budapest and pluralistic education and cultural programs at the Balint Jewish Community Center.
- Develops tomorrow's Jewish leaders by sharing global community-development expertise with the leadership and volunteers of the Jewish community's well-established network of Jewish organizations. JDC also provides upcoming young Jewish leaders and volunteers with training and resources to develop grassroots programs tailored to their unique, local communities.
- Rescues victims of emergencies by promoting early detection of breast cancer—the leading killer of women in Hungary today. Through its Women's Health Empowerment Program (WHEP) partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, JDC is increasing public awareness of the disease; offering screenings to socially disadvantaged women; providing psychosocial services for women with breast cancer and their families; and strengthening local breast cancer organizations.
Find out how JDC gave single mom Hanna and her family crucial aid and a much-needed connection to their community.
The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation/JDC International Summer Camp at Szarvas, Hungary hosts more than 2,000 participants from 20-plus countries worldwide every year.

Mayor Pro Tem Trent Jackson opened the first meeting he has conducted since the resignation of Mayor Gil Conover. Jackson announced the opening of the position for mayor, and if any of the current council members enter their name into consideration, they will not have the opportunity to vote on Mayor Conover's replacement. The selection will be considered at the Oct. 23 council meeting.
Property owners and water users along the Molen/Dutch Flat water line were at the meeting to comment concerning the application for a water connection along Molen Road. A resident owns six acres and is wishing to construct a home on the property. There is a water connection on the property, but it is in the wrong location for the proposed home construction. His request was to move the stock water connection and use it for the home.
Jackson informed the resident that an agreement is in place with the water users on that line, and by this agreement there is a cap of 34 water connections and that cap has been met. This means the city is not at liberty to allow another connection for the home construction. The existing water connection on the property is not the correct connection needed for home construction.
Many of the current water users along this line commented and the consensus was for the Molen water users to meet and propose to increase the number of connections allowed. Jackson said if this is done, the water users can come back to the city with a new proposal for consideration.
Jackson heard a request from a property owner in Ferron to purchase property between her fence line and the curb. This portion of property is an irregular size and shape and she wishes to purchase the portion of the property that is not needed by the city for sidewalks. A public hearing on this matter is scheduled for Oct. 23.
During the public comments, a resident made his dissatisfaction known as to the nuisance of barking dogs in the city. He said the property next to his is vacant and the landowner is keeping his hunting hounds there. He stated the dogs bark all night and all day, and has been going on for more than a year. He has called the landowner to complain, and now the landowner is putting shock collars on the dogs at night and as a result they only bark during the day. The resident said it is very bad as the family cannot go out in the yard for activities due to the noise.
Jackson informed the resident about the ordinances in Ferron for animals. Jackson is aware the number of dogs is breaking the ordinance. "We will begin the process with a letter to the dog owner informing him of the violation of the city's nuisance ordinance," said Jackson.
The next Ferron City Council meeting will be held Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. in Ferron City Hall.

"Natural Gas: Payback is coming" is how Morgan Stanley's commodity strategists put it. "Payback" means "selloff."
Thanks to the unusually cold winter in the Northeast, natural gas on Wednesday hit a high since December 2008 and is ahead more than 45% in the New Year. The rise has priced the commodity at more than $6 per million British thermal units.
But winter will — you know — end at some point. The move looks too far, too fast from the vantage of Adam Longson and Tai Liu, who say in their most recent note on the subject that the market is overestimating the cost to refill the national gas stockpile.
The U.S. replenishing capability is strong enough, they argue, that the commodity's prices might even trade under $4 per million British thermal units by the third quarter. Here's the summary of why:
A few key factors that contribute: 1) Demand headwinds: Loss of heating demand, poor power load growth and renewables growth. 2) Gas-to-coal switching with higher prices. 3) Supply will return from freeze-offs and more supply should come online with new infrastructure. 4) More of the restocking need is in the oversupplied East region. 5) Potential supply creep outside the Northeast if high prices are sustained.
The case is premised in part on the idea that supply bottlenecks and production "freeze offs" have played a bigger role than most investors appreciate this winter:
We see material production growth over the injection season as a) wells recover from freeze-offs, b) new takeaway capacity in the Northeast begins service and c) associated gas production marches higher on the back of stronger oil production. Overall, we expect supply to grow 2.4 bcf/d YoY during the 2014 injection season with growth in the Marcellus, Utica and associated gas offsetting declines at other plays. However, we do see signs that the pace of declines at other supply sources are decelerating, as well as potential supply creep from plays outside the Northeast (e.g. Haynesville).

Matt Kirshen: Shorter Than Napoleon
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2009
The star of a few telly things returns to the Fringe with a needlessly self-effacing title.
Older Comments
One of my favourite shows at the fest. A massively likeable comic, honest stories and brilliantly funny throughout. Really hope this review didn't put anyone off going to see the show, they will be the poorer for it.
M Toft - 24/08/2009
Hmm, interesting that every other review of this (fabulous - I saw in in preview in London) show, praises in particular the travelling story at the show's finale. I suspect it was the reviewer, not the performer, who was distracted by the air-con and heat.
L.B. Wood - 21/08/2009
I saw the preview to this show and your statement that Matt must have been having an off night would seem to be correct as I know many people appreciated the show and found Matt to be hilarious to the point of tears.

Perfect nude heel
"These shoes are amazing! The heel is high enough for going out or a special occasion, but is still office-appropriate, and the platform makes the shoe so much more comfortable. The toe box is a good length, and the nude color is absolutely perfect. Love them!!"

"I needed a pair of nude heels that I could wear in the coming fall/winter weather. I found these (after trying others) and I'm in love. While they are the TINIEST bit too short in the toe box, I think after a couple more wears, they will stretch a bit and be perfect. I've only worn them once, but wore them all day at work without a problem and got so many compliments. The nude color is perfect!"

Fits like a dream
"I have these and the Getta pumps. I like these because they are a little taller, but they are both very comfortable albeit a little on the long side. I just wear an extra set of peds underneath to hold the heel on a little better. Maybe it's just my heel that's a little narrow. I feel these shoes are a tiny bit long and very, very comfortable."

Good for running, walking, hiking.
"I wore these to and from work (5 mi walk) through an urban setting because I thought I needed to break them in before going on a 10 mi hike the following weekend. That was unnecessary. The 5 mile walk was very comfortable from start to finish.The the 10 mi hike was a 3000 ft incline from base of the trail over dirt, rocks, and anything else I could throw at it. There were parts were I needed to scale, run, and jump through. (No climbing, just really really steep trails) These shoes had really good traction and I never lost a step. Excellent shoes! I think I'll buy an extra pair. :)I can wear them on my walks to work, and on hikes. Very versatile."

Munster got the better of the Ospreys 12-6 in a low-scoring Pro12 affair played out in poor conditions at Thomond Park on Saturday.
Munster got the better of the Ospreys 12-6 in a low-scoring Pro12 affair played out in poor conditions at Thomond Park on Saturday.
Munster remain at the top of the Pro12 after they secured a crucial victory over their fellow play-off contenders.
Two Ian Keatley penalties to Matthew Morgan's one saw the Irish province take a 6-3 lead over the Welsh region at the interval.
Keatley added a third three-pointer in the second half before JJ Hanrahan came on and duly sealed the win with his only attempt from the tee.
However, with time up, Morgan slotted a penalty to garner a potentially vital losing bonus-point.
In a confrontation between the league's top two sides, the first half unsurprisingly remained tight as the teams battled for forward supremacy.
Keatley got the hosts off to the perfect start with a penalty before adding another after 22 minutes as Rob Penney's men took a 6-0 lead.
Although Morgan responded with one of his own, the Ospreys went into the break 6-3 down and looking for a way of prising open a solid rearguard.
That almost came not long into the second period when Tito Tebaldi looked to have touched down but, after consultation with the Television Match Official, the Italian was penalised for a double movement.
Munster then proceeded to take control of the encounter and, despite missing a long range opportunity on 52 minutes, their fly-half was on target soon after.
Despite brief forays from deep, the Welsh side found it difficult to truly test the hosts' defence and, without front-rowers Adam Jones and Richard Hibbard due to international duty, they struggled at times in the scrum.
And with the home team controlling the encounter up front, Hanrahan had the chance to effectively seal the win, which the replacement pivot duly took.
But with the last kick of the game, Morgan rescued a bonus-point for the Ospreys via a penalty.

The South by South West music festival just took place in Austin, TX. There were hundreds of great bands and musicians from all over the world. Some classic hit bands from the 80s came back to give outstanding free performances for their fans at Auditorium Shores. Hit bands such as The Stone Temple Pilots and Cheap Trick showed up for long lasting fans from their earlier years. People of all ages came to the free concert series to see the BoDeans perform. They rocked the house and had everyone in the audience singing and dancing along with their music.
The BoDeans were formed by musicians Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann in Wisconsin back in the early 1980s. Slash/Warner records signed them on with their music label after a full band was formed by adding a bassist and drummer. They immediately began to record their music, and the first album called Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams was released in 1986. Soon after, they were voted the Best New American Band by the Rolling Stones magazine.
Since the release of their first album, they have released eight more albums. The most recent which will be released in April of this year is called Mr. Sad Clown, and it will be their ninth studio album. You may remember one of their hits if you watched the 90s television program Party of Five. The song Closer to Free from the album Go Slow Down was chosen for the theme song of the series. It instantly brought them more fans and increased their level of fame and exposure. The song was also used in the movie Heavyweights.
Their music is categorized under the genres of alternative rock, roots rock, and rock. Their music has topped the mainstream rock and adult contemporary charts. The band has seen some new members since the original formation back in the 80s. The current members, who include the two original founders Kurt and Sam, and: Noah Levy, Eric Holden, and Bukka Allen. Kurt does the vocals and plays the electric guitar, and Sam performs vocals and the acoustic guitar.
The band has been very successful and has a loyal following of fans that have stuck by them since the 80s. Two of the band members have worked on solo projects but still continue to fuel the success of the band as a whole. The two founders Kurt and Sam have worked on solo projects. Kurt Neumann recorded an album in the late 90s called Shy Dog, and Sam Llanas recorded his album in 1998 called A Good Day to Die.

Why Don't You… June 25 & 26
… make a striped tote bag? The look of a relaxed and well worn tote bag has always been so stylish to me, but I've never been able to find one to fit all my needs. Stripes are perfect for the summer months, so this tutorial for making your own tote bag seen on Momtastic is a definite must for a lazy weekend. Pairing it with a cute dress or bathing suit for the beach would look fantastic.
… make your own bouquets? Although this post from 100 Layer Cake is meant for making your own wedding bouquets, I think it provides great inspiration for making bouquets for the home as well. To add a pop of color to the home, these bouquets would be a lovely idea for achieving that.

Skip to comments.Obama Administration Trying to Grab Guns Through Executive Order
Posted on 05/03/2013 2:40:20 PM PDT by forty_years
...And sure enough, the Obama Administration is trying to unilaterally undo our recent victory in the Senate - and to undo the damage that all of us inflicted together.
But first, a little history.
Remember when Senators Pat Toomey, Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer formed an unholy alliance during the recent gun battle on Capitol Hill? Remember how their amendment would have encouraged your psychiatrist to turn you in to the FBI's gun ban list?
And you remember how we stopped that provision, because over 40 senators found it to be odious and a violation of the Second Amendment?
Well, guess what? Barack Obama has just concluded that "he don't need no stinkin Senate."
Instead, Secretary Kathleen "ObamaCare" Sebelius - and her Department of Health and Human Services - has promulgated regulations which would, by executive fiat, waive all federal privacy laws and encourage you doctor to report you to the FBI.
Understand a couple of things: First, the standard which your doctor would use to turn you in is embodied in Clinton-era ATF language and in the anti-gun Veterans Disarmament Act of 2007. Specifically, you doctor would "drop a dime" on you if he suspected you were even a slight "danger to yourself of others" or were "unable to manage your financial affairs."
So if they say you can't balance your checkbook, then you lose your constitutional rights.
But there's another problem: The day these regulations become law, lawyers will be lining up to sue "deep-pocket" psychiatrists for every case where they failed to turn in a patient to NICS - if the patient subsequently engages in a horrific act.
The bottom line? Any psychiatrist who failed to report all of his patients to the NICS system risks losing everything if any of them engages in harmful conduct. Soon the rule of thumb will be: See a shrink; lose your guns.
And the regulations will apply to private, as well as government-employed psychiatrists.
The bad news is that 165,000 military veterans have already lost their gun rights because of the see a VA shrink, lose your gun rights precedent from the Clinton-Bush era.
Sadly, what happened to military veterans has now begun in the private sector - especially in places like New York, after they recently passed their misnamed SAFE Act.
According to gun rights reporter, Dan Roberts, firearms are now being confiscated from gun owners because of their mental health information. For example:
[John Doe] received a letter from the Pistol Permit Department informing him that his license was immediately revoked upon information that he was seeing a therapist for anxiety and had been prescribed an anxiety drug. He was never suicidal, never violent, and has no criminal history.
So now taking anxiety pills can result in ones forfeiting their Second Amendment rights in New York!
This is where the gun haters want to push their agenda. And this is one reason why background checks are so dangerous - because they give government bureaucrats the opportunity to deny law-abiding people their constitutionally-protected rights.
But the good news is this: The HHS rulemaking is still at an early stage, and HHS is (no doubt reluctantly) taking the views of the general public.
ACTION: Go to the Federal Register - at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-04-23/pdf/2013-09602.pdf - and respond to the regs entitled HIPAA Privacy Rule and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
Let the HHS know how you feel about waiving all federal privacy laws for people who seek counseling.
Also, be sure to tell your congressmen that you oppose the see a shrink, lose your guns regs issued by the HHS. Ask him to issue his own comments as well.
The regs themselves lay out several ways that you may submit your opposition. The comment period ends on June 7, 2013.
The HHS will put anyone on their complaint list into the NICS system as 'combative; anti-government'
Would be much wiser to complain to a Senator..
"Do you have a search warrant?"
Is going to a .gov website and complaining about Obama and the gungrabbers really such a great idea?
I just had to answer a slew of these types of questions for a yearly physical appointment coming up. They said it was required for all Medicare patients. Some of the questions asked were along the lines of, "How often to do you feel depressed, anxious, down or sad?"
The government has zero power over you the LIVE, LIVING MAN.
Learn the law
This site is about protecting against the 16th amendment, but it is pertenent to any and all STATUTORY LAWS
Sounds like this is going to ensure that people who might need mental health help won't seek it.
I had a friend who was a clinical psychologist, who used to say the same thing, that a close friend could do just as much for her patients as she could.
Uhn huh....
I'd rather walk through the jungles of Vietnam and take my chances on punji stick pits than go to HHS website
You would think a quote "Constitutional Professor" unquote would know better.
What a douche
only 2 minutes - pass it on after viewing. it is going viral ...
Just. Damn.
Back in the days of the old Soviet Union, you were considered mentally ill if you disagreed with the Communist govt.
Maybe I'm being overly paranoid but if the Dems take the House and Retain control in the Senate, I think they will say that anyone who disagrees with the Obama Regime's "progressive" policies is, obviously, mentally ill.
That will give them justification to confiscate the firearms of conservatives.
No doubt about it! They are already trying to do that and don';t have complete control yet ... except thaqt the republicants don't oppose the socialist takeovers, so perhaps they do have complete control anyway since they hold the FBI files on all the degenerates IN CONGRESS.
A: "Whenever I read that Barack Obama is President.
Moral of the story.. Don't see a psychiatrist..
The bottom line? Any psychiatrist who failed to report all of his patients to the NICS system risks losing everything if any of them engages in harmful conduct. Soon the rule of thumb will be: See a shrink; lose your guns.
Gay folks and Trannys often see shrinks, does this mean they will all be unarmed soon, if so don;t you think they will make attractive targets for inner city thugs to mug?
Wow...that was heavy and every wet behind the ears kid needs to see it
Moral of the story.. Dont see a psychiatrist..
Of course this all causes problem of people who may NEED to shrink to no seek out a shrink to get their brains shrunk so we will see an increas in mental disorders and possibly more violence as a result.....
Liberals and unintended consequences.... very much well known bedfellows...
My "Annual Medicare Physical Exam" is scheduled for May 15th.
I think this questionnaire is new as I don't remember (? :) anything like it last year.
I look forward to answering this questionnaire. Fun and games like the census. An opportunity to answer questions with N/A and NYB.
This is the way African fascist dictators do things. With the stroke of a pen and a pistol aimed at your temple.
And then what does he intend to do with them? Sell them to drug cartels or islamic militants?
Try to get someone who is genuinely mentally ill and dangerous committed to a medical facility. It's near impossible these days. The reason is a physician and a judge both have to find the individual incompetent. There have been so many lawsuits over forced confinement that it's very unlikely you'll find a doctor and judge in the same jurisdiction willing to take the risk.
There must be a call to action for the communists. The activity seems very coordinated.
How does a regulation bypass a law?
man we are so screwed up
"Let the HHS know how you feel"
Come November 2014 I will.
2nd Amendment bump for later.......
Note the people with Obama signs in their yard, anonymous calls will be made about them telling me they have seen a shrink and all about their neat-o gun collection.....
Payback is a &^%&%!
Sauce for the goose...
So have we had an outbreak of suicidal doctors?
I do not have to comply with Executive Orders since I am not employed by any part of that branch of government. In fact, I am not a government employee. Only Congress can make laws. Obama can't.
Not MY senators!!
Let it be known here and now.
I am quite content with myself, and my significant other.
I do not, nor have ever, nor will give room for question nor debate on:
1. Constitutional issues, which I believe shall be decided in the ballot box.
2. Political issues, which are between me and my God.
3. Familial issues, which are between family members, only.
4. Any subjective electronically generated questioning from the federal government.
5. Social issues that include any gender-bending, gender-substitution, or gender-revocation by the owner of that human body, in question.
6. Military issues, past or present, unless the 20-year disclosure period has expired, and only then, on a need to know basis.
Thank you for your time and concern. Now, quietly go away, please!
Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress passed the VAWA with the urging of feminist organizations both communist and corporate, state bar associations and many other constituent groups and corporations.
Some 15 million good American men and women in family rights efforts took notice. Others falsely ridiculed them and took the biggest step toward the government they deserved. Remember that, as the near future unfolds.

Wow. That's one powerful public service announcement. Too bad it's making the gun control freaks' heads explode. You'd think that after watching that, they'd have an epiphany.

Sure, why not. The last panel is pretty cool. Somehow this chapter felt like a tribute to a few series...
I hope he keeps the hat.
I Love You!
Too short. I was expecting for it to be drawn out battle as the build up to this fight was done nicely.
sig made by me
Mashima at his best again... A one chapter fight with enough build-up and an epicness in the end... other mangakas need 2 or 3 chapters.. but mashima can pull it off with just 1 damn chapter... hihihi... I have to admit though that he uses a love of Deux ex machina... ahahhaha
Im kinda disappointed in Sabertooth....They are turning out to be a bunch of punks :( This makes Grimoire Heart look like beasts even back then.
Im glad we are moving on though. I want the 2 dragon slayers to join FT and make it a Dragon Slayer guild! And also move on to something regarding the dragons and demons too. So whose fighting next? Maybe Luxus and Ogra? I think that would be an impressive fight! I really wish we got to see the FT team B attack that magic meter measurer thing from a couple chapters back, would have loved to get an estimate on their power level
A pie in the sky?
My thinking is that someone arranged for these guys to be fooled into recieving DS powers similar to Laxus. In any case, I think Rogue and Sting are way too corrupt to be FT Mages. I would prefer if Makarov did not accept them into the Guild.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

I wasn't a fan at first, but I realized it was because I'm not used to having my big toe cuffed alone...I got used to it eventually as it fits perfectly and is very comfortable. Theonly other thing was that the gold material bends easily, but for the price, it was a good buy."

These pro-ams are essential to the Tour, but they are a huge problem as well. I don't know exactly how everything works on Tour, but let me clarify a few things about these pro-ams.
1) Players don't choose to play in them, they're assigned. Pretty much, the top ranked players each week have to play in the pro-ams. 18 guys in the morning and 18 in the afternoon. I'm not sure if they get any outs, like one freeby a year or something of the sort.
2) When a player no-shows or is a late, another PGA Tour player plays with the group. Typically, there will be 4 players on-site assigned to be there from approximately 6:30-8:30 AM. Then another group of 4 will be there from 11:30-1:30. The players will practice during this time, but are on-call if there's a problem. I'd venture to guess each player on Tour has to be "on-call" 2-4 times per year. It's not that bad.
3) The DQ for missing a pro-am has been around for awhile, but they used to give each player one miss with no penalty. I'm guessing they took that one free miss away? That's too bad because the penalty doesn't fit the crime. It's ridiculous really. After this Furyk fiasco, I bet they make a change this offseason.
I believe the players understand the importance of these pro-ams, as the ams are putting up 5K each or so to play, but they're also pretty rough to play in them. They usually take 5+ hours and it's hard to get much productive practice out of them. That being said, playing with a few ams for the opportunity to play for millions isn't so bad. I'd certainly do it if I could.

Summer break is just a few weeks away, when parents find themselves looking for ways to fill their kids' open calendars. Summer calendars for camps and day camps are plentiful at recreation centers, local churches and nonprofit organizations throughout the south metro area.
But the days of the average summer camp are over. Yes families can still find places for a kid to ride his or her first horse, learn how to build a fire and pull in their first fish. But today's families have options that include art and theater experiences, lessons in farming and ranching and camps that take their kids on a journey to outer space.
In Castle Rock, the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation launches its first summer day camp with Camp CALF for children entering fourth and sixth grades. The week-long day camp give kids a chance to see how a working ranch thrives with a program built on the CALF philosophy to encourage people to get connected to agriculture.
Children who participate in Camp CALF will spend each day on a different agricultural theme, divided into "flocks" with daily chores to care for their assigned species of livestock on the ranch. Camp CALF includes team-building and creative problem-solving activities, based on the day's theme.
Professional presentations throughout the week include visits from Hawk Quest and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, which will join the campers at CALF's home on the Lowell Ranch, a 133-acre ranch along on Plum Creek south of Castle Rock.
Families seeking a more refined camping experience can visit the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center, which has a summer calendar packed with art, science and technology camps that open new doors for young curiosity seekers.
Kids from 6 to 12 years old can try Mysteries of Space Camp, which takes kids on a virtual space mission to distant planets; Lift Off! Camp, where kids can enjoy some high flying fun with a rocket program, spacecraft construction and launching lessons. The younger set will tackle their favorite construction projects with LEGO pre-engineering camp.
The Parker Arts and Cultural Center stays true to its cultural mission with Summer Theater Camp, a week of drama for kids up to 18 years old. Theatrical campers will learn acting, stage crew and audition skills at theater camps for kids of varying age and experience. Campers will rehearse each afternoon for a final play at the end of the week.
The Castle Rock recreation center unveiled its 2011 summer calendar with RockRec camps that include art adventures, Gross and Gooey Science and Kids Kitchen, which takes kids around the world with food.
The staff at the Denver Zoo will join RockRec with a lesson on "Remarkable Reptiles" and daily animal activities that culminate in a trip to the zoo.
RockRec campers will also enjoy Space is the Place, with United Launch Alliance Rocket Works on site to teach kids how to build a paper rocket. Space is the Place will include a visit to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

In 1960 the Emery County School Board proposed to close North Emery High School and South Emery High School and combine them into one. Then in a bond election enough people voted "yes" to carry it through, leaving almost as many who had voted "no" very upset. Not only the two high schools, but three elementary schools were closed at that time Castle Dale, Emery, and Elmo. The new high school was finished in 1962 in time for the new school year to begin.
The Emery County Archives has had a grant this past year from Utah Humanities Council and the Utah Historical Society to gather oral histories from some of those students who attended that new school in those first years. I collected a few full histories from some students who experienced this change, but we also held an Archives Open House where year books were opened to view and a poster with pictures of all the old Emery County schools was displayed. I talked to people and encouraged comments about their school experiences. The reasons for consolidation were economics of the county and reduced population, but this project was seeking some answers: Did the students think consolidating the two high schools a good thing or not? I did not live in the county when I was young, so everything in this article is from what I have learned from others. It was very interesting to hear the different view points and experiences. Following is a summary of the comments from a variety of former students of the New Emery School.
North and South Emery were bitter rivals. Since the schools have been combined into one, there has never been another school that came close to being such a fierce rival to Emery High as the two county schools were to each other.
Examples of this contention are: It was taboo to date someone from the enemy school but "sometimes they would do it on the sly." Girls were considered "bad girls" if they dated boys from the other school.Boys who did the same were asking for fights. Some kids even avoided driving through the rival towns--they disliked everything about "those" towns. Sometimes there were fights after games or over girls. Kids from the "other" school were referred to by derogatory names such as "Swamp Angels" or "Retards" or worse. Some said, "We hated each other." This rivalry was felt since the 1930s, perhaps before, so some of the parents still held onto their feelings against the "other" school.
This was the climate in the county when all the students were suddenly thrust together and efforts were made to unite all the high school kids (with the exception of Green River). It must have been a daunting time for the school board and faculty, as well as the students. As I started into this project, asking a few people of the right age how they felt, I began to think it was a much easier transition that I had expected to find. I heard many positive things about the consolidation: There were so many more boys/girls to meet and date. So many classmates married a boy/girl from the other part of the county after the merge. Progress and change were exciting. (It was only the parents who had problems with it.) It offered better curriculum and greater choices of classes--a better education. We were no longer Bulldogs and Rangers, we became Spartans. Can't tell you what a positive experience it was. The best teachers were chosen from both schools and so they had "cream of the crop--remarkable" teachers. Everything was new--classrooms, equipment, desks, uniforms--it even smelled shiny and new. The two former high school buildings were so old their options had been limited, such as the tiny gyms--now they had a big, real gym with bleachers and glass basketball backboards. They could finally have a football program in their school and county again. They combined the best of the two sports programs and so they had better teams and were able to compete for State.
The new faculty was made up almost entirely from the two old schools with the exception of sports coach. With the intense rivalry between teams, how could they select a coach from either school and expect fairness? Even if the coaches could show fairness, there was doubt that the kids would accept an enemy coach. The last rival basketball game was won by South Emery. North Emery watched them carry their coach on their shoulders as they felt the bitterness of such a close defeat. Could North Emery have welcomed him to be their coach? So a new coach was brought in from outside the area for fairness--and he also knew how to coach football.
The faculty spent some serious time creating activities that would help the consolidation go more smoothly. The last football game of the season before the new merge was played by North and South Emery at South Emery. During the intermission there was a skit presented about two Indian tribes who were enemies; they counseled together and decided to bury the hatchet. The hatchet was symbolically buried between North and South Emery High schools. Another tool for peacemaking was that the student body officers had equally represent both North and South--the student body president was from South Emery, and the vice president was from North Emery. Assemblies were organized so students from both schools participated and performed in them. The student body officers came down the aisles in the first assembly singing the song "Getting to Know You" from The King and I. Students participated in unification by choosing their new school song, colors, mascot and uniforms--things that would make the school their own. Students were encouraged to submit ideas for each of these things and then the options were voted on.
Some memories of those first choices include the option of an Allosaurus for a mascot because of their abundance in Emery County. It lost out to the Spartan mascot. At first the color choice seemed logical--if you combine blue from one school and red from the other you have purple.That seemed to be the decision. The marching band combined from the two schools early--in the summer--in order to march in parades. So purple uniforms were made for the girls who were the flag bearers and twirlers; purple cummerbunds were worn with the other uniforms. When school started, however, there were other options brought up. The new coach suggested taking purple down a shade or more to maroon which would be a great color to hide the football as a player carried it against his maroon shirt during games. Someone or some group came up with the option of gray, black, and gold. It looked "classy." It won by a landslide, so the girls' purple uniforms were worn only once. Students were also encouraged to submit designs for the various uniforms. Bernice Payne's design won for the drill team. One school song was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Johansen, but lost out to a song composed by JoAnn Cox and Marie Ware. These efforts to make a smooth transition from two schools to one are commendable, and they seemed to have worked well for some students, but there were many others who found the whole experience very difficult.
Here are some unpleasant memories of consolidation: Everyone had to be bused so getting to and from school made everyone's day longer.
The old schools had been right in town, "kind of in the middle of everything." The new school was off by itself away from any town or park. Their sports practice was done in a cow pasture. It was no longer a close, personal, and friendly atmosphere. Some teachers played favorites with kids from their school. (I really only heard about one teacher who did this, but I heard it from a few sources.) Kids kept their old friends from previous school, so there was little chance to make new friends. Kids from one school ignored the kids from the other--they stayed segregated in many ways. The library had too few books that first year to be helpful. (Sam Singleton volunteered to take all the extra classes and training to qualify as a librarian and had to build the library from scratch.) The curriculum was set up to accommodate South Emery students and not North Emery so the scheduling had to be changed so seniors could all have the opportunity to get the classes they needed for graduation; they were accommodated, but it built up more resentment. Many athletes from both schools did not make it onto the sports teams. There was no alternative to school lunch (like going to Walts in Huntington next to the school). There was intense dislike between students from the different schools, and there were greater opportunities for fights--enemy too close to pass up; name calling of the opposite schools were used directly to people or easily overheard. It ruined the high school experience for some who had been so involved in their old school--now there was no particular place for them.
It seems that if a student participated in an area where they were forced to mingle with each other such as student body officers, sports teams, drama, band, etc. they liked the changes in the school, made new friends and found the transition easy and even fun. The students who were not part of those groups had a more difficult time adjusting on their own to the new situation. There was such a problem over who and how many girls could be on the drill team that they finally just opened it up to everyone who wanted to be on the team--according to yearbook pictures, there were 77. But not all teams and groups could do that and many were left out.
As can be seen by what has been written above, in the course of this project I found some very opposing viewpoints. Some people expressed the opinion that those rivalry feelings were increased by "forcing" the students into a combined school. One man I spoke to who had attended high school a few years before the consolidation said that if they would have tried to consolidate during his school years, he would not have gone to school. He would have enrolled in Carbon County rather than having to go to school with "those guys." Other people shared the view that the rivalry feelings dropped off quickly, and the combining of students and faculty gave them a greater education and brought the county together better than anything else could have. Change is very difficult for some personalities, it is an exciting opportunity for other types. Like all high school experiences, it seems to have depended on one's circumstances, friends, goals, and attitudes whether or not consolidation was a good thing.

Leicester Tigers snatched a late try bonus point through Adam Thompstone after convincingly defeating Treviso 34-3.
Leicester Tigers snatched a late try bonus point through Adam Thompstone after convincingly defeating Treviso 34-3 at Welford Road.
Hampered by their own errors and Treviso's resilience, Tigers had to wait until the final play of the game to claim their fourth try and what could be a vital bonus point.
A frenetic but far from flawless first half saw Leicester establish a 13-0 lead through two penalties from Toby Flood and Thomas Waldrom's converted try three minutes before the interval.
Both sides set out to attack from the outset, but numerous handling mistakes, missed lineout throws, incomplete scrums and the fussy officiating of Pascal Gauzere all made for a frustrating first 40 minutes.
But some of the pent-up frustration inside Welford Road was relieved when Waldrom crashed over from a lineout catch-and-drive, shortly after Treviso scrum-half Tobias Botes had returned from the sin-bin.
Adam Thompstone went close and Waldrom was denied a second try for a double movement as Tigers started the second half with a flourish.
Having weathered the onslaught Treviso worked good field position and earned a shot at goal when Tom Youngs came in at the side in an illegal attempt to stop an organised rolling maul.
Botes made no mistake from the kicking tee to temporarily close the gap to 10 points.
Leicester cranked up the pressure again and Treviso eventually cracked after losing two men to the sin-bin inside 30 seconds.
Skipper Antonio Pavanello was the first to go after being found guilty of lazy running, while key defender Christian Loamanu joined him in seeing yellow after a high tackle on Blaine Scully.
The thirteen men of Treviso had no answer to Leicester's next forward drive and Tom Youngs provided try number two.
Tigers continued to make hard work of putting Treviso to the sword, but USA international Scully eventually slid over in the right hand corner with 15 minutes to go. Flood added the extras.
Just as it looked like the bonus point would go begging Leicester finally some fluidity to put Thompstone away for a try which Flood improved to make it six kicks out of six on the night.
The scorers:
For Leicester Tigers:
Tries: Waldrom, T. Youngs, Scully, Thompstone
Cons: Flood 4
Pens: Flood 2
For Treviso:
Pens: Botes

A bulk packaging is a packaging, other than a vessel or a barge, with (1) a maximum capacity greater than 450 liters (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a liquid; (2) a maximum net mass greater than 400 kilograms (882 pounds) and a maximum capacity greater than 450 liters (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or (3) a water capacity greater than 454 kilograms (1000 pounds) as a receptacle for a gas.
The distinction between bulk and non-bulk packagings is important in determining whether the placarding requirements apply (click here to see a summary of the placarding requirements). All shipments that require placarding also require registration. Hazardous materials (particularly Class 9 hazardous wastes) that do not require placarding but are transported in bulk packagings with capacities greater than 3,500 gallons or 468 cubic feet require registration under category D. However, shipments of hazardous materials that do not require placarding (for example, Class 9 materials), placed in bulk packagings with capacities less than 3,500 gallons or 468 cubic feet, do not require registration.
It is important to note that the use of bulk packagings requires registration no matter how small the quantity of hazardous materials actually offered or transported. For example, persons who have hazardous waste picked up in tank trucks, and persons who return unpurged tank trucks or rail tank cars from which they have unloaded hazardous materials so that the tanks still contain residues of hazardous materials when returned, must register under the provisions of Category F (or Category D if the material is a Division 6.2 or Class 9 material).

WOW! Cool Shoes
"This is not a style I ever expected to buy, but the colours were an exact match for a dress I just bought, and I figured, what the heck , give it a try. They are very unique and seem well constructed. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are, the fit is perfect. They are easy to walk in on hard floors and carpet but a bit tippy on deep plush carpet.. I have no problem with really high heels, but these arent the shoes to start with if you arent used to high shoes. Oh, my hubby liked them on me and he made me laugh when he said " those heels sure aren't likely to break" ."

Cute but run way small!!!
"I can wear 9.5 and 10 and even though I got these in 10 they are incredibly small. I would say order a full size bigger. (I should have gone with 11). Plus the pink -which looked more coral pink- is in fact very electric pink in real life. Still adore the style of the shoe but will look for another color and size in the store if possible when I return them."

the last flight hasn't taken the ice yet, from what I understand...
Just got a glimpse of Tanith and Ben- what on EARTH are they wearing?! What happened to the beautifully simplistic outfits they started the season out with? I loved those!
Just because they made some changes to the program to make it more "exciting" doesn't mean they had to go OTT with the costumes! Ugh.
well they can't let DomShab have all the fun with craptastique costumes
cute videos of Davis & White on the fluff....just had a great image of Charlie with a sticker on his forehead....
Wow, USA really adores their lady figure skaters. And the godess of them all is Sasha?
Now some icedance
hm Marina wasn't impressed at whatever Charlie was talkinga bout just now (plan for warm up it sounded like)
Fluff piece on Meryl and Charlie was cute.
Interesting to hear Charlie say that they want a shot at an Olympic medal, not outright gold. Then again, maybe this was taped early in the season before D/W was established as the favorites for the Olympic gold.
I want my American Tanith and Ben back.... none of this European stuff... that's not who they are... it just doesn't fit.
B/A look like crap! What are they wearing?! Cute piece on Meryl and Charlie

Sheen: Satiny soft and sheer with a touch of glow. Wear it dry for whisper effects, or wet for a more opaque sheen.
Shimmer: High intensity shimmer. Can be softer and more translucent when worn dry, but creates an opaque wash of high sheen-known as foiling-when worn wet.

Turn on the gleam.
Channel your inner drama queen with a technique created by Bare Escentuals called "foiling." It's as easy as applying your eyeshadow with a dampened brush, and it creates a lustrous, light-reflective glow to your eyes when layered over or under other shadows.

By LT. BRENT TAYLOR Executive Officer116th Engineer Company (ConvoySecurity)
AL QAYYARAH, IRAQ-Soldiers from Utah's 116th Engineer Company (Convoy Security) distributed thousands of dollars worth of humanitarian and educational supplies to two villages in Northern Iraq on March 15. The items were donated by individuals and businesses throughout Utah as part of the "Feed Uncle SAM" drive that took place between September and November last year.
Soldiers from the 116th Engineers partnered with an Army Civil Affairs team and with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment to distribute the supplies to two local villages near their Forward Operating Base approximately 65 miles south of Mosul, Iraq. Lt. Brent Taylor of North Ogden commanded the distribution mission, with Master Sgt. Kim Tanner of Paragonah as the senior non-commissioned officer. Lt. Col. Rodney Fogg, commander of the Alaska based 17th Combat Support Sustainment Battalion was the senior officer.
The supplies came as a surprise to the villagers, who were not expecting the visit from the 116th. Upon arrival in the village of Qudeela, Lt. Taylor and Col. Fogg visited with the local tribal Sheik and with the village school headmaster to explain the purpose of their visit. Sheik Hamad and the headmaster gratefully accepted 10 large boxes of educational supplies, including notebooks, pencils, pens, paper, and crayons. The headmaster thanked the 116th for the supplies, and stated that it was enough supplies for at least six months in his school.
After unloading the educational supplies, Sheik Hamad invited Lt. Taylor and Col. Fogg into his house for traditional Iraq Chai Tea and to discuss the problems facing his village. After the friendly visit was over, the Sheik oversaw the distribution of 40 boxes of humanitarian supplies to his people. Hundreds of excited Iraqis accepted the blankets, quilts, shoes, clothes, hygiene kits, and food items all donated by generous Utahns.
Next, the 116th moved to the village of Ankawa where they first delivered supplies to the local medical clinic. Clinic manager Idrees Abd Mohammad accepted five boxes with more than $1,500 dollars of various medical supplies, including splints, surgical instruments and bandages. Mohammad could not stop smiling as the donated items were placed in his clinic and he repeatedly thanked the 116th for the donations. It was easy to see from the sparse appearance of the humble clinic, that the donations were very much needed and would be much appreciated.
Afterwards, the local tribal Sheik, Mohammad, invited Lt. Taylor and Col. Fogg to his house for Chai tea while 116th Soldiers unloaded other humanitarian supplies in the village square. Sheik Mohammad spoke to the officers about the problems facing his village, and of the difficulties his people faced. After tea and discussion, he oversaw the distribution of 40 boxes of humanitarian supplies and toys to his villagers.
The children of Ankawa excitedly gathered around Sheik Mohammad as he passed out dolls, stuffed animals, and toy cars from Utahns. Meanwhile, their parents formed a separate line to receive shoes, clothes, food, and hygiene items. The excitement was very apparent on everyone's face, as thousands of dollars worth of goods were donated to needy villagers. Staff Sgt. Kenneth Davisson of Preston, Idaho said that his favorite moment was when a young child ran up to the Sheik's house with bare feet. Sgt. Davisson searched through the shoes and found a perfect size for the boy and sent him on his way smiling with a brand new pair of shoes on his feet. "It was such a treat to be able to give this young boy a pair of shoes, since he didn't have any," said Sgt. Davisson.
Soldiers from the 116th really enjoyed being able to participate in the mission, especially since the villagers were in such need of the goods. Sgt. Leallen Blackhair of Fort Duchesne said that, "It was a real good experience to see that the items we handed out were going directly to people who really needed them." Also, there was a special Utah connection on this mission, since the donated items came from Utah. Master Sgt. Tanner explained, "It was special for our soldiers because we got to distribute the goods that Utahns had sent, and that made it more personal."
Lt. Taylor, the mission commander, explained that this mission "will go a long way towards improving the image of United States and Coalition forces in the area." "Ultimately," he said, "we have to show the Iraqis that we are here to help them transition to a democratic government, so that we can leave once they are ready." He also said the following to the generous Utahns who donated the items: "we really appreciate your generosity, and so do the hundreds of local villagers we were able to help; I want you to know you put smiles on the faces of the Iraqi people today."
The donated items came from the Feed Uncle SAM drive that was directed by Jennie Taylor and that took place during Fall 2007 and collected more than $75,000 worth of items from across Utah. The donations from Feed Uncle SAM were used to send all 700 plus Utah National Guardsmen a care package at Christmas and to send humanitarian items to the major Utah units for distribution in Iraq.

Virgin Blue Signs Terminal Access Deal At Canberra Airport29/07/2002
Virgin Blue Guests travelling to and from Canberra are set to benefit from an agreement to allow Virgin Blue to operate from the former Ansett terminal facility.
The low fare airline expects to move within the next 10 days after it reached agreement with Canberra Airport to relocate from its existing space at the Common User counters to the more spacious former Ansett area.
Virgin Blue Chief Operating Officer Rob Sherrard said, "This will be a great step forward for Virgin Blue and our Guests as it means more space, more convenience and more room to grow."
He continued, "With Virgin Blue making inroads in to Qantas's former monopoly on Federal Government travel, larger and better quality facilities are needed for further growth in the ACT."
Canberra International Airport Managing Director, Stephen Byron says, "We welcome the announcement and believe it provides a strong incentive for Virgin Blue to increase the frequency of its services to the national capital."
He added, "We have negotiated an agreement that will enable Virgin Blue to continue to expand its operations, grow the business but still maintain discount fares to its Guests.
Virgin Blue plays an especially important role in the region offering a high quality, value for money option to business travellers as well as an affordable alternative for those wanting to visit friends and family interstate."
The airline will be operating in a Common User facility with room for other airlines but will be allowed to install its own modern and cost effective IT, departure and baggage control systems to ensure Virgin Blue can keep its costs and fares low.
Canberra joins a number of other airports including Brisbane, Melbourne, Cairns and the Gold Coast in facilitating Virgin Blue's smooth transition to bigger facilities while allowing it to maintain its economic and efficient systems.
"Clearly if our share of the Federal Government travel market rose to equal our share in the private sector, we are confident we will be able to add more services and greater frequencies to and from Canberra," finished Rob Sherrard.
Fast Facts:
Virgin Blue currently has 6 flights a day to and from Canberra
Virgin Blue flies from Canberra non-stop to Brisbane and Melbourne
Virgin Blue offers connecting flights from Canberra to Launceston, Adelaide, Cairns and shortly Hobart
Virgin Blue has 21 aircraft in its fleet including the brand new Next Generation Boeing 737-800 with revolutionary winglet technology

PRICE-Deanna R. Axelgard left us on a beautiful summer day, July 22, 2011 at IHC Hospital in Murray. She was born in Price, Utah to Richard and Ruth Sillitoe Rogers on May 29, 1940. Deanna married her sweetheart Michael Mick Axelgard, 53 years ago and he was by her side when she returned to the heavens above. She was also an incredible mom to their only daughter Michele; she was also the Mom and Nannie to many more. In fact when she and Mick returned from their honeymoon, they took care of his three little brothers. She was their big sister too. When little sister Julie came along she couldnt say Deanna, so that is how she got the name Nana, and then soon after that led to Nannie.
Deanna was extremely talented and could design, build or draw anything that was put in front of her, always with great excitement. Deanna owned and operated Interiors Unlimited in Price and later worked in Boise and Scottsdale as an interior decorator.
Later she worked at the City Market in Price as the non-foods manager. In November 1985, Michele had a son David Michael Mickie Johnson. Nannie devoted her life to her family.
In April of 1994, her first granddaughter was born. Mikala was a special baby who needed so much extra love and support. Nannie and Poppie always made sure that she and her big brother had everything that they could possibly want or need.
In April of 1996 our little Mikenzie was born. Michele and her three kids were her greatest accomplishments be it good or bad. She tried to make it to all of Mickies ballgames and rock concerts. Even with all of Mikalas trials and tribulations, she was the rock of the family.
Nannie tried to be at all of Mikenzies plays and dance programs. She was and always will be their biggest fan. Growing up Michele couldnt have asked for any more love and support. Nan was also blessed with many of her daughters and grandkids friends that she considered her own too.
Michele and the kids have lived with the two of them since Mickie was 2 years old. The family knows that Lil Mikala was waiting with her tiny little arms open, excitement and anticipation to see her Nannie again. It had to have been such a joyful time to see her Nannie again. Well remember all of the amazing and wonderful times we were blessed with. When looking at the sun or the moon and stars we will think of you Nannie; you have always been the glue that has kept our family together.
Nannie has left behind her loving family, husband, Mick; daughter, Michele; grandson, David Michael Mickie Johnson; granddaughter, Mikenzie Deanna Axelgard-Felice; Lil Dazzie dog, all of Price; sister, Darlene (Hale) Pickering, South Jordan; brothers-in-law, Wally (Leanna) Axelgard; Kevin (Bonnie) Axelgard; Scott Axelgard, all of Price; sister, Julie (Ron) Jarvis, Santiquin; many special nieces and nephews that she loved and adored with all her heart and soul.
Preceded in death by her parents, Richard Dick and Ruth Sillitoe Rogers; mother and father-in-law, Walter and June Axelgard; granddaughter, Mikala Deann Axelgard-Felice; niece, Jessica Axelgard.
Come help us celebrate her life at a funeral, Thursday, July 28, 2011, 11a.m. Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will receive friends Wednesday evening from 7-9 p.m. at Mitchells. Interment, Cliffview Cemetery, Price. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends are welcome to share memories of Deanna online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net
