Starheaven - 0.0.10
Joshua Affection (joshtf)
Starheaven is a game with the following characteristics: Fantasy-fiction -> Means that the content inside the game is not actually real. Any resemblance to real people, places, religions, situations, pets, marriages, relationships, etc. is just a coincidence. Text-based-> Means that, apart from the integrated images, it uses the most powerful graphics board ever invented. That's right, it's the imagination powered by the Times New Roman text. Role-playing -> Means you play as a character inside the game. Imagine it's you, only in the game you can change, drown, get hurt, get strong relatively easy, etc. Transformation-> In a simple way to avoid any philosophical discussions, transformation in this game means that the character (aka, you) undergoes a series of changes into one or various of the following: Animal, anthropomorphic animal, inanimate object, plant and/or human. In development-> Means that it's not a finished product. While many people might think that a game has to be finished before people start trying to break them, the truth is that no game is really ever finished. If you doubt this, see all the different kinds of versions of tetris, pacman, etc. Even now, the 'finished' games are being constantly patched. So, returning to the point, it's being developed as time goes by and as users start breaking it.

When voting, don't let conservative vs. liberal, nor democrat vs. republican, nor gay vs. straight, nor racism, nor religion, nor any other ideology, stop us from overcoming cronyism now.
Do we want our nation ruled by laws? or ruled by corporation CEOs and executives?
Elect only candidates who will: stop those giant donations/consultants/lobbyers; grow individual privacies/humane treatment; shrink global warming/stock-option pollutions; grow peace/priority of youth; shrink crony culture/budget deficit; grow criminalization of false impersonating/phishing; grow regulation/transparencies; and stop lame duck legislation.

Seeker wrote:Thx for responses.
I wasn't sure about the EOT parameters, where are they posted? Or should I follow Tims suggestions for all?
I'll try shorter steep times.
BTW, I don't think my head got 'blown off' - I've experienced that with stronger young pu's, not this one. Essentially, the tarry character that I have found in this and virtually all 'vibrant' young pu's isn't a positive to my palate, and it is evident from the first whiff. I imagine that this and other intense characteristics are elements that would soften over many years of aging to yield beautiful complexity.
Re: the leaf size - I beg pardon for my lack of photographic skill, the dry leaf shot is on uber-macro and uber close up. The others are not as close to lens. And the leaves I chose for the wet leaf detail were representative of the avg size I think. Truth be told, I don't know what 'correct' leaf size looks like or measures in at - I'm just going on my recent experience of having brought one of my young binge in for assessment and finding out the leaves were too small, and they were just a little bit smaller than these.
Also, I believe buds and tips add character, however, aging 15 years they will be gone/disintegrated, so I imagine there should be only a small % of them in the mix?
I hope it's alright that I'm saying all this, and that I'm not offending anyone - my purpose is to share my honest thoughts, impressions, and experience and learning and see what responses come of it so that I might continue to learn.
I am an admitted novice, and I believe what I'm being taught is legit (altho deeply grounded in traditional chine tea values).
Oh, and Finally - I have a question for Tim and EOT - were you told the leaves were from old trees or did you see in person? This kind of 'selling' occurs a lot in the tea world, or so I've read as well as been told.
BTW - i'm taught buds/tips are milder in character and will be drinkable sooner which goes to the movement popular these days out of Yunnan to be able to sell tea now (which I imagine is an economic must for survival; having to age every "vintage" for 15 years would be extremely costly--in all ways to all people on all sides of this).
This makes sense to me, does it to you?
Just a bid of a history to share Seeker - The Best puerh tea came from buds/tips:
This is a rarest puerh golden melon which made entirely with Pre-Ming spring harvested buds (circa 1729).

Fabulous Shoes!
"IN LOVE with these shoes! I got them in brown, so they go with pretty much everything I wear. I love them with leggings or skinny jeans; have yet to try them with a dress or skirt (too cold out here!), but I bet it'll look great. I'm also wearing the shoes in a little more before I try the foldover pattern, but the shoes look great all zipped up."

Green River high school hosted Monument Valley High School to a night of basketball on Friday night before a packed and rowdy house. The lady Pirates (12-7; 5-3) had a score to settle against the lady Cougars (14-4; 8-0) who, some might say, stole a win against Green River on Monument Valley's home floor a few short weeks earlier. With 2.3 seconds remaining on the game clock and the home team up by two; Jamie Johnson trying to gain control of the ball under her own basket, was 'bumped' out of bounds where she crashed to the floor on a no-call from the officials. It was that kind of a night.
This night was to be different but coming off a heart breaking loss to the lady Raiders a week earlier made this game all the more important. The free throw struggling lady Pirates held their own for the first quarter but the wheels fell off the bus in the second quarter where lady Cougar star Heidi Nelson dropped in three of her four treys. It didn't help that the lady Cougars doubled the lady Pirates third quarter output by scoring 18 points.
The never-die lady Pirates battled to the end but couldn't overcome earlier mismatches and tentative play on the court. With three region losses, the remaining two games are critical if the lady Pirates hope to make an appearance at State.
The boys took to the floor next in a fast paced, street ball style of play where only one foul was called during the first quarter. Nick Corrigan started off with two quick field goals followed by Green River Pirate leading scorer, Spencer Marshall who drained a trey.
The Pirates took a slim four point lead into the locker room at half time which turned into a three point deficit at the end of three where Spencer Marshall and TJ Hughes continued their dominance on the floor.
The MV Cougars outscored the Pirates in the fourth quarter as well with the home team Pirates standing on the charity stripe five times while the visiting Cougars stood there 15 times, making nine out of 15.
The upset loss gives the Green River Pirates three league losses and much like the lady Pirates their chances for post play rests squarely on the outcome of the next three games. After suffering two disappointing home losses, the Green River lady Pirates took their dreams of extending their basketball season on the road as they played the lady Raiders of Whitehorse. A nice place to visit with a friendly enough crowd but wins are hard to come by on this remote court in Southeast Utah where seniors Michaela Hughes, Jamie Johnson and Feleisha Antillon took charge early and never looked back as the lady Pirates outscored the lady Raiders 24 - 4 in the second quarter.
In fact, the lady Raiders outscored the lady Pirates the next two quarters and made 11 out of 12 from the charity stripe to put pressure on the gals in green but this time they held strong and delivered. Kira Engleman went five for five from the line in the second half and the team went 10 for 15 in the fourth quarter while shooting 64 percent from the line for the night.
This was a great improvement over the previous game at home against the lady Cougars where the lady Pirates scored one more field goal than their opponent but only shot 40 percent from the line - essentially giving away the win.
The lady Pirates took the momentum from their win against Whitehorse and used it to propel them to a win against a determined lady Bronco team who played on the Pirates home floor on Friday night. The last game of the season (and of their careers, for the seniors) allowed for the soon-to-be-graduating seniors a chance to play before a very appreciative home crowd.
The lady Pirates sewed up the season with a respectable 7-3 region record to earn them a second place seed at the state tournament beginning on Feb. 13 at 11:30 a.m. against the lady Tigers of Milford.

You might have noticed that you aren't measuring the Doppler shift of the sound burst. A common misconception about using a sonic anemometer is that you can measure the wind speed by measuring the Doppler frequency shift of the ultrasonic signal.Recall the high school physics experiment relating to train whistles changing pitch as they approach and recede from a stationary listener. Of course this is true, but in the sonic anemometer setup, both the listener and the train whistle appear to be moving at the same speed. So, it's more like listening to the train whistle while you're on a car in the back of the train (i.e., the pitch doesn't change) even though the train may be moving at great speed.The Doppler signal in a sonic anemometer measures the change in wind speed, which can give an indication of the wind speed's stability at the moment it's measured. You can use this to measure turbulence and fluctuations in wind speed. Of course, this involves being able to measure the changes in the received signal's frequency. You can use a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to look at the purity of the spectrum.

San Rafael Junior High presented their annual Veteran's Day program on Nov. 9 at the school. Several veterans were on hand to be honored. Principal Doug Mecham, new to the school this year said this was his first opportunity to participate in the Veteran's Day program and he is honored.
The state legislature passed a law that all secondary schools would each morning recite the pledge of allegiance led by a student. The students and teachers at San Rafael have been very active seeing this is done each day at the beginning of school. Principal Mecham said, "I have been putting some thoughts together about what patriotism means to me and how I have received opportunities from the service of these gentlemen and ladies. I have received blessings from your service. I had the opportunity to go to France on a mission. The gratitude those people there feel for what the Americans did for them in the war is heartwarming. You would knock on a door and tell them you were Americans and they would grab you and hug you. They appreciated so much the Americans helping to free their countries from Nazi rule. I take students to Europe and I've visited Normandy. No one can go to these places and not feel the sacrifices of those soldiers who died there. In a village in Luxembourg, they remember when the soldiers during Christmas time gave gifts of their chocolate and rations to the local village children. We should honor them for their strength of character and thank them for serving our country with honor. When we recite the pledge of allegiance and when we see the flag it should serve as a reminder of what our veterans sacrificed for us.
"My son used to play the bugle for the Huntington American Legion. I would accompany him as he performed this service. I also had the opportunity to walk with him on the beaches at Normandy and see what affect this had on him. Thank you veterans, I have been a recipient of your service. On Tuesday, I took the opportunity to vote, I live in a free country and I can do as I please and it's because of your service and sacrifice for our country," said Principal Mecham.
Narrators Derek Anderson, Camrey Johnson, Devin Willson, Madi Allinson and Zach Fauver told of the history of the flag and how it changed over the years with the addition of the new states. The flag is a symbol of hope, strength and charity. It's there at athletic events, schools, disasters and war to give people strength, hope and encouragement.
A video was played of the recitation of the Ragged Old Flag by Johnny Cash. The school honored Sonny and Willie Robertson for their service to our country. They are currently serving in Afghanistan and they sent a flag to the school which was used as they flew a mission. They are doing really well and 99 percent of the pilots have successful flights. The flag will be on display in the library at the school. Their little brother Ricky is a student at San Rafael and he said a few words about his family history in the military and how proud he is of grandpas and now his brothers serving and he looks forward to a time when he might serve, too.
Sam Singleton, former principal at San Rafael and a veteran spoke to the audience. He said when San Rafael was a new school in 1976 they began the Veteran's Day program and it's been going ever since. "I am glad to see this tradition is alive and well at the school. This morning as I prepared to come to this program, I looked to the desert and saw the beautiful sunrise, I looked and saw the beautiful mountains, but none of it was as beautiful as when I arrived at this school and saw Old Glory flying. That was the most beautiful sight. Betsy Ross is credited with sewing the first flag. I wonder if our flag will change again. Puerto Rico just voted that they would like to become a state. I wonder if Congress will approve them to be the 51st state.
"The red in the flag represents hardiness and valor. The white represents purity and innocence. The blue represents perseverance. Let's help uphold those values. In 1892, Francis Belamy wrote the pledge of allegiance. How great that we can pledge allegiance to our flag. The sound of Taps is a most beautiful sound we hear at our veterans funerals and other times. It's never been decided how taps began. One story is that it started with the Civil War. A captain on the northern side heard a soldier who had been wounded, he crossed the line and went and pulled him back. He discovered the soldier was his own son. The son had a sheet of paper in his pocket with the notes for Taps that he had written down. The son died and the father had the song played at his son's funeral. There are other stories of its origin. I look at all of the sacrifices that have been made for us. Sacrifices to make America great. In the Civil war there were 140,400 soldiers lost for the Union and 74,500 for the confederates. In World War I there were 53,400 casualties, in World War II there were 291,500, 33,000 in Korea and 47,000 in Vietnam. That's more than 960,000 people who sacrificed their lives so America can enjoy freedom.
"On the statue of Liberty the words say "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." Many of your ancestors who came to America, saw the Statue of Liberty. Look ahead to the future. You are our future. You will make our country great and strong in the future. When America was settled, people could not realize how great America had become. France sent an ambassador over here to see what made America great. He returned to France and said, 'America is great because America is good. If America ceases to be good she will cease to be great.'
Singleton said he started teaching in the fall of 1950, that year he received a letter drafting him to the Korean war. He served there for two years. "It was a very satisfying, experience to know I was making a contribution to keep America great. America will continue to be great because of people like you."
The narrators continued saying that in Arlington National Cemetery there are more than 300,000 soldiers buried there. Monuments have been erected to honor all Veterans from the wars. Other countries also have memorials to honor our soldiers who died fighting for freedom for other countries.
The choir under the direction of Heidi Hill sang the fourth verse of the National Anthem and then invited the school and visitors to sing the first verse of the National Anthem with them.
Two buglers, Kyler Farley and Landon Barnett played Taps as the audience arose to honor fallen heroes.
Principal Mecham encouraged all to gain a respect and a love for our American flag, "Whenever you see this flag let it bring images to mind of the many opportunities we have here in this country."

Anyone can print things at home off the computer.
But we found a Fort Wayne print shop that is doing things the old fashioned way.
WFFT's Andrew Logsdon has this week's episode of Locally Made Monday.
At Hedgehog Press, they're reviving a lost art.
Their machines are over a hundred years old.
Now, it might take a while to print as they did back then, but the look is unique- and it's the only shop of its kind in the area.
"I do custom printing on a letter press, which is really old. I have two letter presses here, are each over a hundred years old," says owner Julie Wall Toles.
At her shop on Columbia and Tecumseh in Fort Wayne, Wall Toles specializes in old-style printing.
"Really old style printing, which is fun, but it leaves a beautiful impression on the paper," says Wall Toles.
It creates wedding invitations, personal stationary, or business cards.
"It's also a place where i do different forms of printmaking. I make my own art work here, which I like to do intaglio prints with relief printing," says Wall Toles.
It's the old equipment that helps the product stand out.
Her art work, and her prints- are for sale in shops around the city.
And you can do it too.
With some lessons, it's open for other print makers.
She says printing like this has its own story.
"But every time I'm printing on one of my presses, I just imagine when the press was made, and how many things have probably been printed on it, and what kind of things have been printed on that press at that time," says Wall Toles.
She says if you want to learn, you can get started today.
"And it's also a place where I can teach others how to do prints," says Wall Toles.
Classes are open for kids up to adults.
If you want to sign up for one of those classes, or just stop by--

The marketing literature and packaging for many skin care products and treatments state that their formulas contain liposomes and list the presence of liposomes as being among their benefits. This leads many consumers to believe that liposomes are a particular type of active ingredient that improves the look and feel of the skin;however, this is a misconception. Liposomes are not active ingredients at all, but rather, function as a delivery method for the ingredients in a particular product.
A liposome is a vesicle or small bubble composed of phospholipids, fatty acids that contain phosphorous. Two layers of these phospholipids are found in a liposome, and a tiny amount of space exists between them. Sometimes called a membrane, this phospholipid bilayer does not dissolve in water and can be used to enclose any type of liquid materials.
The principle that led to the creation of liposomes comes from that of the cells in the human body. Each cell is covered with a cellular membrane, which keeps all of the organelles (the components that perform tasks inside of cells) protected and in place. The cellular membrane selectively allows materials to enter and exit the cells, allowing them to import nutrients and export the proteins, sugars and other molecules that they produce. Similarly to the cellular membrane, the liposome allows the materials inside of it to pass through gradually.
Liposomes were discovered in 1961 by Dr. Alec D. Bangham, a British doctor who specialized in the treatment of conditions that affect the blood. The discovery occurred when Bangham was testing a new electron microscope at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, England. When he was preparing samples for testing, he added a special dye, intending to make them more readily visible under the microscope. To Bangham's surprise, the sample resembled human body cells when he examined them under intense magnification. His curiosity piqued, Bangham began to study the materials in the sample, and by 1964, had published the first study on liposomes.
The science for creating liposomes has evolved since Dr. Bangham's initial writings on the subject. Over the decades that followed, researchers and scientists have found ways to manufacture liposomes to deliver a multitude of ingredients throughout the body and to the skin. Work has also been done to reduce the size of the liposomes found in products. With the advent of nanotechnology (creating molecules of exceptionally small size) liposomes are now made so small that they are between 10,000 and 2,500 nanometers in diameter. These microscopic liposomes allow for greater absorption in the skin tissue, enhancing the effectiveness of the products that contain them.
In skin care products, liposomes can perform a number of important functions. A formulation that contains liposomes is excellent for delivering ingredients that must stay in contact with the skin tissue for prolonged periods of time, as the membranous vesicle holds its contents safely in place once the product is applied. This is beneficial in products used to lighten skin hyperpigmentation, protect the skin from oxidative damage and reduce signs of aging. Liposomes are also useful for delivering medications for treating fungal and bacterial skin infections.
Because liposomes do not dissolve in water, they are often used to protect the ingredients in skin care products from water. Sunscreens that contain liposomes are resistant to water, making them ideal for use for swimming and on humid days. Some types of waterproof mascaras, eye liners and eye shadows deliver their pigments with liposomes, so that they do not streak, smear or fade, even if the eyes water.
Studies have found that many skin conditions, such as extreme dryness or dehydration, respond better to prolonged exposure to low doses of active ingredients as opposed to one massive dose. To capitalize on the benefits of dispensing ingredients over time, many skin care companies offer time-release products, which give off small doses of their active ingredients typically over a 12 or 24-hour period. These products generally use liposomes to achieve these effects;the liposome allows only tiny amounts of the ingredients to leave the phospholipid bilayer at a time. As the liposomes release the ingredients, they slowly break down over the 12 or 24-hour time frame, allowing the skin to benefit from products without the need to continuously reapply.

In 1998, President Bill Clinton passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, DMCA, was signed into law. It was signed to keep up with the changes of digital media innovations, and it protects copyrighted material that is accessible on the Internet. How does this law affect Internet radio? It limits radio stations online from copyright infringement and streaming music without paying royalties and licensing fees. This law created a lot of controversy between traditional radio station and radio stations on the Internet. In recent news, the controversy is shedding light again in Congress.
President Obama is now discussing royalty laws with Congress about traditional radio stations. In the current DMCA law, only radio online has to pay a royalty to performers in addition to the songwriter. They have to pay publishing and performance royalties. Currently, traditional radio stations only pay the publishing royalty which is paid to the songwriter and not the singer. Recent headlines in the news now report that the Obama administration is endorsing that radio stations must now pay performance royalties as well.
Record labels and recording artists miss out on money and recognition that is respectably theirs. Internet radio stations and other countries in the world pay the royalties to performers for their hard work to create amazing music and performances. Traditional radio stations in the United States are one of the only institutions that do not pay a royalty to the performer. The DMCA is unfair, and recording artists feel as if they are not being protected under the current copyright law.
Once again there is controversy between broadcasters, radio stations, and artists. A lot of famous musicians whose music is played on Internet Radio and traditional radio have been to Capitol Hill to support the passing of new copyright laws for traditional radio. Broadcasters believe that by passing the new royalty law jobs will be lost and record labels outside of the United States will gain high profits. The National Broadcasters Association believes they should not have to pay the royalty that Internet radio pays because by playing a band's music they are encouraging listeners to buy their albums.
It is still unclear whether or not this issue will be brought into legislation this year or not. The Obama administration is simply stating that they endorse the performance royalties. Radio stations on the Internet and traditional radio stations play the same music and it is unfair that the Internet has to pay an additional fee. There should be fairness across the board and musicians should be able to collect for their talents.

A week after a murder-suicide in Kansas City, the NFL deals with a player killed in a Texas car crash.
Tragedy has again overshadowed America's favorite game.
A week after a Kansas City Chiefs player killed his girlfriend and then himself, this Saturday brought another NFL death, another NFL crime -- and another NFL team taking the field the day after a teammate died.
Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent is in jail, facing a second-degree felony charge of intoxication manslaughter stemming from the car accident that killed his friend, roommate and teammate, Jerry Brown, a member of the practice squad.
Brent and Brown were also teammates at the University of Illinois.
Police in Irving, Texas, said Brent was driving his Mercedes-Benz sedan well above the 45-mph speed limit when it hit a curb, skidded nearly 900 feet and flipped multiple times. When police arrived, the car was on fire and Brent was pulling Brown from the wreckage.
Police said alcohol was a factor in the crash.
"It's sad. Very sad. It's tragic for everybody," Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday.
FATAL CRASH: Another sad chapter for Josh Brent
BRENT SPEAKS: From jail cell, says he is 'grief-stricken'
As Brent sat in jail Saturday, his teammates traveled to Cincinnati, where they today will play the Bengals without him. Brown's family will begin making funeral arrangements.
While Cowboys coach Jason Garrett privately met with his players and staff before their flight to Ohio to tell them Brown was dead and Brent was in jail, a dozen Chiefs players were 200 miles away in Austin at a memorial service for Kasandra Perkins in her hometown.
The Chiefs played last weekend, too, winning their game against the Carolina Panthers, and tried to return to football life as normal last week. Only it wasn't normal, and how could it have been?
Jovan Belcher's locker was still intact in the locker room, just like he left it Nov. 30, the day before he killed Perkins and himself. The team attended, en masse, a memorial service for Belcher on Wednesday, during a time they would normally be holding game-planning meetings.
The Cowboys face similar circumstances. The NFL dispatched its team of counselors to the Cowboys hotel in Cincinnati, and on Sunday night the team will return to Dallas to face the reality that one teammate's actions left another one dead.
JERRY BROWN: Remembered as "a great kid"
BRENNAN: NFL struggling through dark more days
Brown had been a member of the Cowboys since late September, when he was signed to the practice squad. He had never played in an NFL game, but just getting one of those eight practice-squad spots brought him closer to that goal after he played in the Canadian and Arena football leagues and with the Colts in training camp.
"Not everything went right in Jerry's life, but he kept persevering, the fact that he made it into the league, I really respected that," said former Illinois teammate Brit Miller, a former player with the St. Louis Rams.
As the Cowboys head to Paul Brown Stadium today, Brent will face a judge, and not for the first time. He pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in 2009 while at Illinois -- an incident for which he was suspended from the football team -- and was sentenced to 60 days in jail, two years probation and 200 hours of community service.
With Brown's death, the stakes are even greater for Brent this time. If convicted of the second-degree felony, he would serve at least two years in prison, with a maximum sentence of 20 years, along with a maximum $10,000 fine. He could also face additional discipline from the NFL, which preaches alcohol education in its "life skills" program.
MADD: Only two NFL teams use its program for players
Through his agent, Peter Schaffer, Brent issued a statement Saturday night that said, "I am devastated and filled with grief. Filled with grief for the loss of my close friend and teammate, Jerry Brown. I am also grief-stricken for his family, friends and all who were blessed enough to have known him. I will live with this horrific and tragic loss every day for the rest of my life. My prayers are with his family, our teammates and his friends at this time."
Brent is at least the fourth NFL player charged with DUI this season, along with the Atlanta Falcons' Michael Turner, the New York Giants' David Diehl and the Jacksonville Jaguars' Justin Blackmon.
"The NFL provides extensive substance abuse and driver's education throughout the year as part of our ongoing mandatory life skills programs beginning in the player's rookie season," said Troy Vincent, the NFL's vice president of player engagement. "In addition to holding players accountable through our long-standing league discipline for substance abuse and alcohol-related violations of the law, we emphasize personal responsibility and decision-making."

Later today, Michael told X17 he could prove Lindsay's accusations are wrong but, "It would involve recordings and text messages that I have and I don't want to do that. Obviously she realizes that I'm serious about getting her into rehab. She's beginning to panic because I've been contacting people around her, as well as attorneys of my own, to take measures to get her the help she needs." [OK, x17] A few days ago, Jesse James and paparazzo Ulises Rios put each other under citizen's arrest. Now Rios has released video from the incident in which Jesse James is shown pulling his motorcycle in front of Rios' car, then screaming at Rios and sticking his hands inside the car while a friend hits the car with a knife. Rios reported the incident and claims three of his tires were slashed. [LAT]Jesse James' mistress Brigitte Daguerre was in a documentary years ago, in which she revealed that she's a dominatrix and men pay to be her "slave." [Radar]Famous Rabbi Marvin Hier states the obvious about Jesse James Nazi photo: "To poke fun, giving the sieg heil, and wearing the Nazi uniform is desecrating and beneath contempt." [TMZ]Apparently Sandra Bullock and George Lopez are close friends. He reports, "I went to her house the other day after the Kids' Choice Awards and I saw her and sat with her for a few minutes. She's great. We love her. We're all on her side." [Radar]Sandra Bullock's sister Gesine Bullock-Prado is restarting her baking business. She wrote on her blog, "It's a commercial operation aimed at shipping you treats via snail mail." [Star]Tiger Woods 15th mistress says more women are about to come forward. It's a little late, isn't it? [Radar]In court today Heather Mills said she had a falling out with her former nanny when she refused to pay for her boob job. Mills said, "I had a breast reduction when I was 21 and I couldn't pick anything up for weeks because it was so painful. I didn't criticise her wanting to have a breast enlargement, I just felt it would have been wrong of me to help with something that could have been a reaction to her boyfriend or her hormones." Then the nanny's lawyer accused her of lying to "intimidate and bully and belittle her." [Mirror]Amy Winehouse was reportedly paid $84,000 when "Rehab" was used on Glee, more than any other artist. "Amy was chuffed. She loves the show and watches religiously," says a source. "She is also well aware of how popular Glee makes tracks, and is thrilled to be re-entering the charts." [Mirror]As an April Fool's joke, Coldplay announced they were releasing an "exclusive fragrance" called Angst. [Mirror]Here's a better April Fool's joke: Joel McHale took over Ryan Seacrest's website, posting his photo all over the site instead of Ryan's. [RyanSeacrest.com]As mentioned in Midweek Madness, Taylor Swift has a "two-man plan" because she's dating Cory Monteith, but she had lunch with Taylor Lautner... and their moms. [Star]Looks like WeGiveADamn.org's PSA was successful — so many people visited the site after hearing that Anna Paquin reveals she's bisexual in the ad that the site crashed. [Radar]An anonymous New York Post critic sniped that Jennifer Aniston, "just can't play the good friend anymore. She's aged out, no matter the yoga and the highlights. She just can't do America's sweetheart next door. She needs a big wake-up call." The critic added that her, "taste in men" is "totally off...She's missing a common-sense gene." [Us]Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato have broken up, but a source says, "it's evident to everyone that they will always have a super strong connection." [People]Aaron Carter is engaged to 19-year-old Maile Hochuli. We wish them the best, but the odds are against them: They only started dating a few months ago, he was previously engaged to Celebrity Rehab star Kari Ann Peniche, and he proposed in a movie theater during Alice in Wonderland. [Star]There's a Facebook petition to add Michael Jackson's name back onto an elementary school auditorium in L.A. MJ donated the money for the auditorium, but his name was removed during the child molestation investigation. [AP]Dr. Conrad Murray filed legal papers today asking a judge not to take away his medical license because he needs it to pay his legal fees. Murray's lawyer said he was in financial trouble before Michael Jackson's death, but he's now, "without fear of overstatement, hanging on by a thread." [TMZ]Dr. Arnold Klein is selling his 2004 Chevrolet SSR on eBay. He says Michael Jackson loved driving it to the house where Willard was filmed. [TMZ]Anthony Hopkins is considering suing the New York Daily News for claiming he's constantly criticizing Chris Hemsworth's acting on the set of Thor. [Contact Music]Victoria Hopper wrote a short editorial for The Huffington Post in which she said, "I fear the latest round of sensational allegations, notably a tragically bizarre one made by Dennis' assistant, will not be the last one. It's textbook behavior when someone leaves an abusive relationship for the abuser to attempt to personally destroy the one who left, and I fully expect it to continue... I look forward to my day in court on Monday when these allegations and, importantly, the financial strategy behind them, will begin to be exposed for the world to see." [HuffPo]John Malkovich, who was a client of Bernie Madoff, is trying to recover $2.23 million from the liquidation of Madoff's securities firm. [Reuters]In an interview about Wall Street, Michael Douglas said he used to invest in the stock market but, "I lost 35 to 40 per cent of my net worth on the 2008 crash... At the end of last year, I took a whole bunch out." [The Sun]Erykah Badu defended her video for "Window Seat," in which she reenacts the JFK assassination in the nude, to the Dallas Morning News saying it's, "a protest… about liberating yourself. I tied it in a way that compared the [JFK] assassination to the character assassination one would go through after showing his or her self completely. That's exactly the action I wanted to display." [Access Hollywood]Today on the CBS Early Show, Alice Cooper was asked to comment on Erykah Badu's video. "I never used nudity in my show. I always thought it was too easy. That's an easy way to shock," he said. "But I can see what she was going for. I don't know if it's — if it was sexually oriented, I think I might have more of a problem with it. If it was more pornographic like that. But, I mean, if you go to the Louvre, all of art is based on naked women. I mean, I don't think it's anything new to see a naked woman. On the street, it is a different thing." [CBS News]Carnie Wilson fainted while filming The Newlywed Game, according to a source who reports, "In the middle of the show, Carnie went white and began to sway. Her speech was garbed." The National Equirer says Wilson claims medication she's taking for a cyst on her neck made her dizzy, but producers think it's because she's "dangerously obese." [Contact]Carnie Wilson's rep says she didn't faint, but "did briefly become lightheaded while taping The Newlywed Game. Carnie took a 10-minute break, then finished taping the show. Paramedics were not called to the set that day, but GSN did provide a medic on-set the following Monday as a purely precautionary measure. [People]Pete Doherty spit beer at British reporter Minnie Stephenson during a live interview. [The Star]Kevin Bacon has an 18-year-old daughter, and sometimes they argue about stuff. Enthralling. [People]Toni Collette says on The United States of Tara, "I want the audience to be able to invest in each of the alter [egos] and believe them wholeheartedly. So I try to make them as complex and real and as whole as possible. [NPR]Justin Chambers says of TV wife Katherine Heigl leaving Grey's Anatomy, "Katherine is very much loved. She's a huge part of the show's success. She's always in our hearts and Izzy will always be a huge benefactor to the show." [ET]In the book My First New York: Early Adventures in the Big City, Parker Posey says, "When I was on a soap opera, there was a homeless man in Chelsea who I would see like every night. And I don't know how he did this, but he watched me on the soap-I always wondered how he saw me at 2:00 on CBS. He called me Soap Opera. If you keep the ball in the air, you're making stories with everyone you meet. People make characters of themselves." [Daily Front Row]"I think people have an idea of me, but really I'm the best I've ever been," says Joel Madden. "I have two kids that are my life - they're my entire world. I have an awesome partner who is really supportive. She makes me the best version of myself that I've ever been." [LAT]A source says now that Kate Gosselin is on DWTS, "Kate and [dance partner] Tony [Davoloni] probably spend more time together than she sees her children," so Jon Gosselin is picking up the slack. "Jon has long visits every other weekend, but he is nearby and around to visit the kids if he is needed. They are co-parenting a little more," the source said. [Fox News]Emma Thompson on how she created a family atmosphere on the set of Nanny McPhee: "We saw people [socially] - Maggie Gyllenhaal in particular, who'd come over with her family, her little daughter and her husband, you know, Sunday lunches and all of that. That's very much a part of the way I work, especially when people have come a long way to serve a story, you know, you've got to look after them and a home-cooked meal is the best way of doing that. I didn't have the crew over, because I haven't got room in my house for 150 people, but God knows that I would do if I did!" [Mirror]Just so you know, Samantha Fox is, "Willing to try anything as long as it's humanely killed so I wouldn't eat foie gras or veal. Of course I did eat a rat when I was taking part in I'm A Celebrity last year but in our defence we were starving. The only thing I don't like is Brussels sprouts. I used to hide them in plant pots when I was a child." [Daily Express]Susan Sarandon compares being single to hang gliding: "I did a movie a long time ago where I had to fly a glider. You get towed up in the air by a plane, and it's loud and annoying. And at some point you pull the cord and you're suddenly floating, and in your mind it makes absolutely no sense. But it's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. That's where I am now." [Daily Express]When asked if she'll impersonate Sarah Palin again, Tina Fey said, "I haven't been watching her on television lately because I've been working on 30 Rock, but I'm doing another Saturday Night Live next month and I'm sure we'll be trying to write something about her."

|In response to Re: Incinolet toilets--awful experience
: We were looking for an alternative to the typical water consuming toilet when we discovered Incinolet, a company that produces electric toilets. We were very excited that we had solved our problem. Unfortunately, the toilet has been nothing but problems right from the beginning. Their literature states it is odor free and practically maintainence free. This is not the case despite our following the instructions precisely. When we try to contact the company to resolve the problem, we are told, it is our fault and we must doing something wrong. The result? We finally gave up. We rarely use it and strongly advise others against buying one.
At one time in my career I worked for an electric public utility that installed an Incinolet toilet in one of their remote substations. Unfortunately the toilet was often used in haste without any attention being paid to the instructions until after one's "duty" had been performed. This convoluted approach toward reading the instructions after, as opposed to before, resulted in "honey dipping" by the facilities maintenance crew and a threat of disemboweling anyone caught using the Incinolet improperly. It turned into a very perverse laughing matter --- for all but the "honey dippers".
If you decide to install one, you may wish to post the critical operating instructions on large placards leading to the Incinolet --- much like the Burma Shave signs that adorned our highways many years ago. (If you are younger than 50, the last sentence will mean nothing to you.)

By BOB RUSSELL, retiredForest Supervisor, Dixie National Forest
I recently retired from the USDA Forest Service after 38 years of federal service. My final job with the US Forest Service was forest supervisor of the Dixie National Forest in beautiful southwestern Utah.
Many Utahns I have met over the last few years are rightly concerned about the health of their forested lands. Seventy-five or more years of fire exclusion, prolonged and ongoing drought conditions, and epidemic insect infestation have taken a toll in many parts of Utah, including on the Dixie National Forest. The Dixie and other national forests in Utah, in cooperation with Utah's State forester, continue to try to do what they can to reverse, slow or mitigate these trends.
During my three years on the Dixie, we managed to get a lot of good vegetation management work done, but we could have accomplished a lot more were it not for the unnecessarily high level, and excruciatingly slow involvement by the federal courts in resource management decision making process.
During my first week on the job in Cedar City in 2003, I was briefed on the status of a decision made a few months earlier by my predecessor to remove some trees on the Griffin Top portion of the Aquarius Plateau northwest of Escalante, designed to slow or stop a (at the time) new insect infestation. The proposal, known as the Griffin Springs Vegetation Management project had been challenged in district court by the Ecology Center and Aquarius Escalante Foundation just prior to my arrival on the forest.
Two years later, in March 2005, the district court in Salt Lake City ruled in favor of the US Forest Service and found that the issues raised by the plaintiffs were not valid. The decision was immediately appealed by the environmental groups.
On my last day of work, June 30, 2006, we received word that the US Forest Service has lost the subsequent appeal in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. That is three years from start to finish-and what was the result?
Meanwhile, the insect infestation has increased and is now nearing epidemic proportions. Should my successor decide to pursue a new project in the same area, the project will need to cover a lot more acreage and focus primarily on salvaging the vast number of dead Englemann spruce trees that we lost since the original decision was made in 2002. A new project must also now attempt to minimize the resulting and significantly increased risk of catastrophic wildfire on Griffin Top.
It took three years for the federal court system to decide that the US Forest Service had failed to specifically state that it had used the "best available science" in making the decision. The court did not find that the US Forest Service had failed to use the best available science-only that my predecessor had inadvertently failed to specifically mention it in the decision document. In doing so, the court basically took the easy way out and did not rule on the several disingenuous and trumped-up issues raised by the plaintiffs-issues, as I said, that were soundly rejected out of hand by the district court in Utah.
As I stated earlier, the Griffin Springs decision was not mine, so I have no personal axe to grind over its demise. However, it was not pleasant for me as the forest supervisor to put a well-conceived and needed project on hold for three years while the courts plodded at a snail's pace toward what proved to be a non-decision on a bunch of non-issues. At the same time, the resource conditions on the ground rapidly deteriorated almost beyond redemption and local forest products dependent businesses were deprived of an opportunity to help us make a positive contribution toward solving a very real forest health problem on Griffin Top.
Some of you may have read the plaintiffs' triumphant advertisement about the decision, masquerading as a news story in the Salt Lake Tribune (Ruling Squashes Logging Plan, July 3). Very little that reporter Christy Karras wrote was accurate, except the fact that the decision had been overturned by the appeals court. The story reads very much like it had been written for Karras' use in the usual self-serving, manipulative and fictional style often used by many environmental groups. I especially take exception to the statement that, "Dixie National Forest officials were not available for comment (on a Sunday)..." Believe me, I would have had much to say, but nobody tried to call me-and I was home all that day (since I did not regularly work on Sunday).
The Tribune article was correct in one way-the environmentalists did win this one. Unfortunately, the health of the forest and the majority of the folks who live in Utah and/or use the Dixie National Forest lost in a big way. Environmental groups always win when the courts take three years to render a decision and delay the implementation of needed work on the ground-even if, as most often occurs, the court ultimately affirms the US Forest Service decision.
The courts compound the problem by granting status to file environmental lawsuits to anyone who lives and breaths. The groups certainly do not have to care about the place in question or have a basic understanding of forest management practices. The courts also allow, even encourage, environmental groups to shop for judges who have personal views favorable to their cause.
The deck at that point becomes stacked against good resource management, especially when these lawsuits reach the appeals courts, as this case readily illustrates.
Adding insult to injury, we taxpayers will probably have to pay the Ecology Center's and Aquarius Escalante Foundation's court costs. We lose again-we then will become the equivalent of a dues paying member of these groups, whether we like it or not.
Congress has seen fit with its passage of the Equal Access to Justice Act to compel the federal government to compensate environmental groups for their (probably inflated) court costs when the case is decided in their favor (and of course they are not required to pay the governments court costs when they lose). This is good business for the environmental groups-it saves them from having to recruit new members or raise money in order to file the next lawsuit and stop the next project.
I have retired back to my home in Idaho (where such things are not much different), but my suggestion to that majority of Utahns reading this who care about the health of the forested lands in your beautiful state is to get mad and get involved.

I'm a short, one-handed, no-toed, 20-something college student with a part-time office internship in Chicago. Strangers seem to like talking to me on public transportation; sometimes my cats think they're people; and my imagination frequently goes to very odd places. When these things happen I shoddily draw them on my nub, take pictures of the drawings, and hope someone laughs. If all else fails, at least I'm contributing to the felt tipped pen industry.

Johnson City Transit system gets upgrades
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - The Johnson City Transit system has a new technology upgrade that they say will make everything easier for the passengers.
Anyone riding the bus will now be able to pull up bus routes and track the buses on their website from smart phones and through text messages.
Jeff Rawles is with the Johnson City Transit. He says this will help people track if their bus will be five minutes late or early.
He says it will also help people who are from out of town find the bus route they need to use. "Everybody has phones now, cell phones with internet access most of the time. Especially text messaging, it's just an extra tool for us to provide to our passengers," says Rawles.
The upgrades cost $585,000. 95 percent of the money to pay for it came from the federal government. Only five percent of the cost came from local money.

Pros: Small, USB powered, solid 2V output, noise-free, sounds clean.
Cons: No RCA (on my version), no Toslink/Coax.
Disclaimer: This review isn't based on NwAvguy words and/or the stereotypes arround the ODAC. You won't see me using the words "transparent" and or "clinical". I actually gave the thing an honest listen, compared it with what I had arround me and this is the review I came up with.
Now, you might ask me, why did you buy the ODAC? Well, I wanted something small that I could strap under my computer desk and forget there. That's it.
But how does it sound?
Silent. This thing is completely silent. When I sit next to it in a quiet room, It doesn't talk or scream to me, which is nice. Ok now kidding aside, where as my E10 was picking up EMI that I could hear easily on louder than normal listeneing levels, now I can max out the volume and I can't hear a thing (with no music on obviously or my ears would be bleeding), which is really good in my book. Now, how does it sound with music on? First thing that striked me: the details. Bad recordings now sound terrible and good recordings sound terrific. I'm not talking about 24/96 "post-modern alternative on the verge fusion" jazz here, but well recorded 16/44 albums from Supertramp, Mumford and Sons, Muse, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and so on. The sound is well laid-out and no part of the frequency spectrum jump at your face. I like that.
Now for a little comparison. My dad has a Bifrost on his fulls-size speaker system, so I replaced it with the ODAC to see if it feels any different, I asked him. We listened to Jazz at the Pawnshop songs where we can hear people moving their glass of whatever they are drinking arround and talking in the background. Our conclusion? He and I can't tell apart each DAC. Both sound really good, and that's all what really matter. Now, please don't ask about our methodology or whatever. This wasn't a scientific test and we didn't have any expectatrion or preconceived idea of the results. We just gave an honest listen and WE just couldn't tell the difference really on our setup. It might be worth nothing to you, and that's cool, but there you go.
Conclusion? For 150$, you get really great sound from a simple USB port. If you want more inputs and flexibility, look elsewhere.
Gear used: Odac, Bifrost, Valhalla, HD650, Grado SR80, dad's speaker setup.

By JOE FIELDERCastle Dale
I am a life long resident of Emery County and grew up on the Swell. I have to admit I took much of the Swell for granted until the Wilderness issues were raised some 20 years ago. This was serious motivation to get involved because our way of life was and is in jeopardy. Water, access, valid existing rights, ranching, hunting and recreation are all an integral part of our heritage and must be protected by any means possible. Thus the idea of a Monument created by the President designed with these local parameters was conceived after other attempts to protect the Swell and our way of life have failed in Congress. I am a volunteer on the Emery County Public Lands Council. This letter is not a position of the lands council only my opinions. I am discouraged that we as a county cannot agree on a direction to preserve this way of life. The threat of Wilderness comes closer with every Congress and some day it will happen. I have always been taught we must be pro-active or accept the consequence of no action. The lands council has not undertaken this Monument idea in secret. A lot of thought and study was involved with one objective, to preserve the way of life in Emery County. Contrary to many of the articles I have seen. I thought we all had the same objective but obviously not. I believe many of those who object to this idea are motivated by different agendas.
I see many politicians sitting on the fence when it comes to voicing their support or non-support of the idea. This issue is Emery County's future and has been reduced to a political football. We are severely divided and the environmentalists know this and will further their agenda of keeping people out of the Swell. Numerous public meetings have been held and many ideas incorporated in the proposed proclamation. I have not heard an alternative to the Monument idea. What is the right way and where are the experts the opposition talks about. If you have an objection you should offer an alternative. The proclamation highlights protections we require as a minimum. My understanding is no action will take place if any of these are not included in the final document. For what its worth I applaud those who have made the effort to keep involved in the process and understand the issues.
The BLM travel plan is in the final stages. This will determine the routes that will be closed or left open. This will take place regardless of what we do with the Monument idea so if anyone thinks access will be better if we vote against the Monument they are mistaken. The lands council's position submitted was the most access friendly alternative. The council also extended the comment period on the BLM Travel Plan so more comments could be submitted. Keep in mind the environmental groups also had the right to submit comments.
So what do we do now? I believe we should vote (YES) and keep the process moving forward. Admittedly some mistakes have been made but you don't make mistakes if you don't do anything. Some say (no action) is the way to go. This is a cop out�the easy way out with no one responsible for anything�Fence sitting. We can start over, resaddle another horse and go through the same arguments again. Time is not on our side. This is a slow process and a few votes in the Congressional elections could change the entire picture. We can pursue the Monument Idea or just do nothing and have the SUWA's of the world decide for us.
I commend the commissioners and the Lands Council for attempting this Monument Idea (they do care or they wouldn't have pursued this idea).

A 55-year-old Emery County employee was arrested on March 8 at the Emery County Building in Castle Dale and now faces nine charges of distribution of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.
The defendant, Cardell Ezra Sackett, was an employee in the Economic Development Office.
An informant alerted the Emery County Sheriff's Office that he was allegedly selling prescription drugs. Sheriff Greg Funk and Detective Garrett Conover arranged for some controlled buys from Sackett.
According to Conover, Sackett explained that he had prescriptions for a medical condition, but there were additional pills in his possession not associated with his prescription.
The defendant made his initial appearance in Seventh Judicial District Court in Castle Dale Tuesday. Judge George Harmond scheduled a preliminary hearing for March 19. Sackett is being held at the Emery County jail on $135,000 bail.

"Love love love, these shoes. They are so comfy it's unreal. It looks and feel more expensive than it cost. If they had more colors in my size, I'd be scooping them up. One of my best shoe purchases."

Exactly what I wanted!
"These shoes are so beautiful! I got them in black. LOVE the matte soft "leather" and the gold zipper up the back. I also love the silhouette, the ankle of these shoes and the little curved cutouts are lovely. Perfect heel with just enough platform for me to be able to wear them! And there is enough space in the toe area to fit in my ball-of-foot squishy shoe insert."

Great Heels
"These are some of the easiest heels to walk in that I own. My feet are slightly narrow, and these heels fit snug enough that my feet don't move around much. The only place they rubbed was my little toe, but it wasn't bad at all. The second time I wore them I just put a bandaid on those toes and it felt just fine, plus the bandaid didn't show at all. I'd definitely recommend these -- So much so that I went back and bought them in the tan color :)"

Stylish but pinched toe
"This shoe is super cute, and a great staple shoe. However, the toe opening pinches a bit where the big toe comes out. I suppose with a band-aid or some kind of shoe rubby thingie, this could be remedied, but I'm not a fan of those. The shoe fit fine, so I'm not sure if sizing a half size up would work. I'm still on the fence with this one."
