text: Now more than ever (seeing as the Supernovas are entering alliances), Jewelry Bonney. If she in fact has escaped the WG, which is more than likely seeing as her timeskip depiction shows her portraying a more hidden demeanor, she likely has no crew and is wondering about the NW either searching for a new crew or simply trying to stay out of the center of attention. That being said, she has numerous vendettas unsolved as of yet; BB, Akainu/WG, even the SHs. She appears to have a tragic backstory, a must for the crew, and also a rather comical and unique personality. Plus she's a girl for an otherwise masculine-dominated crew (not a very strong argument I know, but a thought nonetheless). Joining the SH's would plausibly resolve/fulfill each of these points.

text: Well, that's the confirmation I needed. The Aero jackets look absolutely fantastic Congratulations on your purchase. You'll need a stock answer to the many enquiring questions & compliments you'll receive. Very nice indeed. I know that I want the 'Veste de Rallye' model in cordovan colour. I'm a 6'2" bloke and take 48L in suits (too much time spent at the gym) with 37 inch arm measurement. In other words, even with 48L I usually have to lengthen the sleeves by about 1/2 - 3/4 inch. Does anyone know if 50 inch sounds about right? I wish there was a shop in which I could try one on first (Scotland is simply too far). For the lining (UK climate), I'm still undecided between the brown alpaca or brown cotton drill cloth. Does the wool really make it unbearably hot outside of winter? I'm also looking forward to being able to 'hang' it on the floor and save on closet space. I'm going to make this happen folks

Milan Flights
Whether it's for work, a passion for fashion or a love of culture, any excuse is a good one to take a trip to Milan, Italy's most international city.
When you arrive in Milan, your first stop just has to be the Duomo: its impressive construction along with its Gothic gargoyles make it one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. Standing on the highest point of the Duomo is the famous Madonnina, the golden statue that is the symbol of the city and the muse for Giovanni D'Anzi's famous song "Madunina", which has become the (unofficial) anthem of the Lombardy capital. Step inside and enjoy exploring the history and secrets of this building and admire a breathtaking view of the city from its terraces.
Piazza del Duomo is also home to the Palazzo Reale, once the seat of Milan's government and now an important cultural center which hosts exhibitions of the work of world-famous artists.
Another unmissable symbol of the city is the Sforza Castle; with the neighboring Parco Sempione it offers a pleasant walk through history and nature.
Another "must-visit" is the Church of Santa Maria Delle Grazie, if only to see Leonardo da Vinci's famous "Last Supper" (also known as the "Cenacolo Vinciano"). All lovers of Italian art will appreciate the many works in the Brera Art Gallery, such as Raphael's Marriage of the Virgin and Mantegna's Lamentation over the Dead Christ.
In Milan art can be enjoyed in-the-round with a quick visit to the famous La Scala theater, if only to take the obligatory photo for your album of Milan memories.
When you think of Milan it is inevitably associated with Fashion Week, which attracts style and fashion enthusiasts like bees to a honey pot. But Milan is synonymous with fashion throughout the year with its famous Vittorio Emanuele II shopping mall as well as the streets that make up the Fashion Rectangle: Via Monte Napoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, where the biggest Italian and foreign firms are based.
Designers from all over the world also use the city as their benchmark, especially during April when the Milan International Furniture Fair is on as well as the "Fuorisalone", the events and exhibitions that run alongside this major international trade fair.
So much has already been said (and will be said) about EXPO 2015, which will take place between May and October. Its theme will be Feeding the Plant, Energy for Life and it will provide an opportunity for the whole world to share ideas on how to manage food resources better in an increasingly crowded world. Visitors will also be able to discover the tastes and traditions of people from all over the world. It will be like visiting several countries at once!
Milan is also serious about sport, especially soccer: it is home to the San Siro stadium which hosts the famous derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan, two very important teams in the soccer world.
There are many districts where you can find good food in Milan. To fully immerse yourself in the local customs, your taste tour has to start with a delicious risotto alla milanese, traditionally yellow in color, with numerous variants to be sampled. For your main course, don't miss the opportunity to try cassoeula (pork and Savoy cabbage), cotoletta alla milanese (Milanese veal cutlet) and busecca (stewed tripe). Many of our country's best cold cuts and cheeses come from neighboring areas and can be washed down with the many Piedmontese wines as a traditional aperitif.
For something sweet to finish, try a slice of panettone or castagnaccio (chestnut cake), depending on the season, or a torta meneghina (Milanese apple tart) which can be enjoyed all year round.
Milan is also well-known for its nightlife and has many bars where you can enjoy a drink with friends or your partner after dinner, especially in the Navigli and Brera districts.
Milan is the city with a thousand things to see and do. Find out for yourself by booking an Alitalia flight now!

Sales Strategies
Sharon Day is President of Greenville-based Sales Activation Group. They help companies who are frustrated with their current team's performance and/or turnover, teaching a strategic process for revenue generation and employee development.

Do you struggle with these barriers to revenue generation?
by Sharon Day
posted Aug 27 2012 9:01AM
Chances are you're completely satisfied with your sales revenues and have no need to read any further. However, if you're less than 100% happy with 2011's finish and remain uncertain about 2012, it might be that one of these barriers is getting in your way of achieving the results you desire.
– Hiring the right people is job one. I once read a statistic that 40% of sellers don't meet their quota, resulting in 30% annual turnover. What a drain and expense! I believe opportunity costs of 5x their prior annual earnings must be factored in to the expense of replacing a salesperson. Opportunity costs include business lost due to lack of contact/follow up; loss of momentum; undeveloped new business; cost of recruiting; manager's time spent interviewing instead of developing; change and its added stress on the team. If you've experienced higher than 5% turnover, there's a flaw in your hiring practices, manager/employee relationship, compensation structure and/or development efforts.
Unclear Strategy
– Without a specific plan, the team will flounder, make errors in pricing and remain unclear about how they affect results. Sellers must understand your goals for each product, the absolute bottom-line prices and what their parameters are for leverage. They will either be part of your plan, or become part of someone else's. We teach a strategic account management system that gets the team laser-focused and creates specific measurable goals and action plans for those accounts with the highest potential for growth. Be strategic and deliberate.
Taking Ownership
– If your sellers tend to make excuses and your managers tolerate less-than-desirable behavior, your team lacks responsibility and accountability. The role of the salesperson is to diligently work to increase the company's profits by generating the agreed upon revenues. When they are unable to do so, they should have specific reasons why based on their behaviors, need for help, etc. There should be a set guideline of expectations and metrics for each seller and they should earn the right to work their book of business. Managers should regularly monitor desired behaviors, administer rewards and consequences and ensure that the team has the tools and support needed to succeed.
Effort and the Will to do whatever it takes
– Oftentimes we meet with business owners, managers and their teams who tell us they are quite comfortable. In those instances one thing is clear: these folks are not likely to make any behavioral changes or put forth extra effort to grow. When sellers get comfortable and lose the will and desire to continue to grow, business suffers. When effort doesn't translate into results, negativity sets in which begets poor attitudes and behaviors resulting in poor performance, which reinforces the negative beliefs and typically leads to disengagement. This is another reason why expectation setting is critical. If you desire growth, your team must have a personal and professional growth mindset and be held accountable for demonstrating the same.
Need for Approval
– As you read this article, someone on your team is likely offering something as added value or making a concession to close a deal. If this is part of your plan and accepted, know that the practice will need to continue. Sellers who have a high need for approval struggle with standing their ground and prefer to say what others want to hear. They have a strong need to be liked and accepted. However, although they may be well liked, when they concede the customer loses respect for them and no longer places the proper value on your product. If you suspect this could be hindering your success, we can discuss your options to turn this around.
Lack of Personal Development Plans
– One of the best ways to keep employees motivated and engaged is to demonstrate that you care about them and are committed to helping them succeed. Providing individualized coaching and development plans is a powerful way to prove their importance. Yet, even though managers know that top performers require opportunities to achieve their personal goals, many times these individualized plans don't exist. Commit to taking the time to develop each of your team members, you will be richly rewarded for doing so.
What's Celebrated
– Are you sending conflicting messages about what you value? Celebrating hitting budget with the team is okay, but only those who achieved or overachieved their goals should be singled out. Praise desired behaviors and reward expected accomplishments. Be clear about the difference. For example, if you celebrate new business, be sure your definition is clear, i.e., hasn't purchased from any division in the past 13 months, or has never purchased. What you celebrate should relate to your stated goals and expectations.
While there are a myriad of reasons why companies don't attain their revenue goals, after 25+ years of selling, managing and coaching, I've come to believe that these are the big issues plaguing sales organizations. If any of these apply to your team and you'd like some help, it would be my privilege to meet with you.

I was wondering what the smallest and clearest sounding speakers with good bass may be?
I am replacing my Creative T10 which are not all that cleat and distort.
Any suggestions and I'd be greatful.
I was wondering what the smallest and clearest sounding speakers with good bass may be?
I am replacing my Creative T10 which are not all that cleat and distort.
Any suggestions and I'd be greatful.
The M-Audio AV40 are a good starting point for higher quality speakers, well above PC speakers.
Anything smaller?
Maybe the size of the small Beatbox?
Audioengine A2 powered speakers.
I'd also like to know if there are any good suggestions~~ i never got to hear the audioengine A2, how do they compare to the likes of Bose MusicMonitor (299?) ? I hear focal has a new 2.0 out, but havent gotten a chance to hear it yet...waiting for black friday/thanksgiving/christmas whatever sale that might lower these prices~~
I ended up getting the Logitech Mini Boombox, in the reviews I heard it had better sounds then the Jambox. I was looking for something like a jambox. Small with BIG sounds but the Jambox distorts.
you should buy M-audio bx5a at least, av40 is not enough for you or you may look for high model of altec lansing 2+1 speaker system.
I still think one can do much better than the Audioengine A2 by going with separate components. My complete 2.1 desktop rig was well under $200 total for the speakers, amplifier, and powered subwoofer. With a 10" subwoofer, there's bass to spare. I don't know if you would consider the components to be too large, but I'm using a small desk and that is only a laptop with a 15" screen in the picture. The components are listed in my signature.
Look into the Fostex Pm04 Theyre Better than the Audioengine A2
Was looking for something the size of the logitech boombox/jambox. lol
if you want something that small, you should definitely go check out your local bose retail store~~ the bose musicmonitor is the most compact size for good music quality that i've heard...it will definitely blow you away as for the sound that could come out of that small box~~ i'm also looking into getting a bose soundlink II for my christmas present (an excuse to buy stuff) hahhahaha~~~
might i add, the soundlink II is gives u a much more rounded and richer sound than either big jambox or the solemate~~
I checked it out I really like the sounds link. It's over my budget though. I need something that sounds good and will last.
I like my Logitech Mini BoomBox but it has very bad bluetooth connection. I rarely go to logitech for anything other then mice and this is the reason why. I never liked logitechs speakers of any sort as the sound sucks.
I like the sound with the logitech boombox but it doesn't connect too well(at least on Windows 7 Mac OSX works fine)'
The sounds link is awesome and it's the biggest size I'll look into but it's over my price range. I was hoping for a world of more options.. All of the speakers mentioned hear are way too big. I am looking for the small Jambox size or mini boombox size. I know advancement in technology have lead to smaller and clearer speakers. Just don't know where to find them. Please let me know, and thanks for all your help.
Oh man, I don't mean to wake my thread.
The Logitech UE Mini Boombox didn't quite work out. For 100 they are ok but I have never been a fan of Logitechs sound but gave it a shot.
The Bose SoundLink 2 is awesome, I was not really feeling the Bose computer speakers though. A bit too large at least the Soundlink 2 is not too big.
I looked at the Zvox 220 but they are out of stock everywhere. It is big but I could put my laptop and it's a single unit. Something with excellent sound, any other suggestions?

Montana State Office
|Release Date: 06/04/13
BLM Reopens Nominations to Resource Advisory Councils
The Bureau of Land Management in Montana and the Dakotas announced today that it is reopening the public call for nominations for 23 open positions on its four Resource Advisory Councils, which advise the BLM on public land issues. The BLM will consider the nominations for 30 days after June 3, 2013, when the agency is publishing its notice in the Federal Register that the nomination period is reopened.
The BLM's RACs, composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, help the Bureau carry out its stewardship of 245 million acres of public lands. The Bureau, which manages more land than any other Federal agency, has 29 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located. Each RAC consists of 10 to 15 members with an interest in public land management, including such individuals as conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, Tribal officials, and academics. The diverse membership of each RAC is aimed at achieving a balanced outlook that the BLM needs for its mission, which is to manage the public lands for multiple uses.
"I value the advice given to the BLM by these citizen-based Resource Advisory Councils," said BLM Principal Deputy Director Neil Kornze. "The people who use and enjoy BLM-managed lands deserve a formal voice on public land issues, and their input enhances our agency's ability to administer and conserve these lands for current and future generations of Americans."
Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council. Nominees, who must be residents of the state or states where the RAC has jurisdiction, will be judged on the basis of their training, education, and knowledge of the council's geographical area.
Nominees should also demonstrate a commitment to consensus building and collaborative decision making. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations; a completed background information nomination form; and any other information that speaks to the nominee's qualifications.
The 23 positions open on the Western Montana, Central Montana, Eastern Montana and Dakotas RACs are in the following categories:
Category One – Public land ranchers and representatives of organizations associated with energy and mineral development, the timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, off-highway vehicle use, and commercial recreation.
Category Two – Representatives of nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and historical organizations, dispersed recreation activities, and wild horse and burro organizations.
Category Three – Representatives of state, county, or local elected office; representatives and employees of a state agency responsible for the management of natural resources; representatives of Indian Tribes within or adjacent to the area for which the RAC is organized; representatives and employees of academic institutions who are involved in natural sciences; and the public-at-large.
A term on a RAC is for three years. Following are the vacancies for each of the Montana/Dakotas RACs. Send nominations by July 3 to the contact(s) listed below.
Western Montana: six openings. Send nominations to David Abrams, 106 N. Parkmont, Butte, MT, 59701, 406/533-7600.
Central Montana: six openings. Send nominations to Kaylene Patten, 920 NE Main Street, Lewistown, MT, 59457, 406/538-1900.
Eastern Montana: five openings. Send nominations to Mark Jacobsen, 111 Garryowen Road, Miles City, MT, 59301, 406/233-2800.
Dakotas RAC: six openings. Send nominations to Mark Jacobsen, 111 Garryowen Road, Miles City, MT, 59301, 406/233-2800.
More information is available at http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/resource_advisory.html. This site also includes a link to the background nomination form.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Review of Financial Studies, July 13, 2015, Volume 28, Issue 8
Using a sample of non-U.S. firms from 43 countries, we investigate whether laws and regulations as well as votes cast by U.S. institutional investors are consistent with an effective shareholder voting process. We find that laws and regulations allow for meaningful votes to be cast as shareholder voting is both mandatory and binding for important elections. For votes cast, we find there is greater dissent voting when investors fear expropriation. Further, greater dissent voting is associated with higher director turnover and more M&A withdrawals. Our results suggest that shareholder voting is an effective mechanism for exercising governance around the world.

Hills Self StorageStorage & Removals Storage
36 Mid Dural Rd,, Galston, NSW 2159 10-25 km from Elanora Heights
I have used Hills Self Storage at the Castle Hill location to store my precious wine collection. I visited their website and found it easy to use; it provides a clear-cut idea as to how much items can be stored in a particular storage unit, be it for wine storage, personal storage or business storage. I was pleased with the brilliant visual representation of locker sizes depicting their ability to hold items. The staff members were polite and proficient who explained everything perfectly. The price was well within my budget. I had a great experience with them and I recommend the services of Hills Self Storage to anyone who is looking for a self-storage facility to store belongings, furniture, wine or anything they want to store for a short or a long term.

Brent Vernal Taylor
Brent Vernal Taylor was born on May 9, 1942, in Afton, Wyo., the son of Vernal and Wilda (Linford) Taylor. He has been a resident of this area for the past four years, following his retirement. Brent passed away on June 27, 2012 at the age of 70.
Brent married Naida Murray on April 6, 1975 in Green River, Wyo. He served our country first in the National Guard and then was called up to serve in the Army in 1964.
He was a member of the Plumbers & Pipe Fitters Union #192 as a Master Plumber for 43 years. His work took him all over the western United States as part of construction teams for hospitals, schools, and high-rise buildings. Following his relocation to this area, he gave many hours of dedication to the Lewis Arriola Community Center as a caretaker. Those hours included general care, planting of trees and constructing the baseball diamond.
Brent was preceded in death by his parents, Vernal and Wilda Taylor.
Brent is survived by his wife, Naida (Murray) Taylor of Cortez; his three daughters, Tina (and Mark) Bihr of Casper, Wyo., Sherry Taylor of Pinedale, Wyo., and Leneda (and Dustin) Daves of Waumsutter, Wyo.; his two sons, Randy Taylor of Butte, Mont. and Shane (and Robyne) Cote of Cortez; his three granddaughters, Erica Lansing of Evanston, Wyo., Tiana Bihr of Casper, and Kacey Starr of Saratoga, Wyo.; his grandson, Ryan Lansing of Pinedale; his two great-granddaughters, Jaucilyn Lansing and Mikyla Lansing, both of Pinedale; his two sisters, Gloria Mower of St. George, Utah and Trenna Gayley of Clifton, Idaho; and his brother, Linford (and Doris) Taylor of Evanston.
A Celebration of Life by the family will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Brents honor may be made to the Lewis Arriola Community Center, 21615 Road S, Cortez, CO 81321.
Arrangements are under the direction of Four Corners Funeral Chapel, Cortez.

Morgamic Hangboard Review
BETA The Hangboard flaunts positive grips, but there's a dearth of variety. The deep finger slots grip much like the top jugs, which grip much like the center jug. A good one-pad rail and the best pinch grip of any board are this puppy's saving graces. Three sets of pockets work well for petite fingers, but alas are squeeze jobs for mature "dali lagers"—the late, great Jack Mileski's term for gnarled, swollen Jimmy Dean sausage digits. Even with a full psyche and weight off, everyone concluded that not even Fred Nicole could hang this board's sloper ... on his best day.
BEEFS Pockets are too tight.
BEST FOR Endurance training.
IF ONLY IT HAD A viable sloper.

So, what do you guys think of this one? I think it's a good choice.
He has experience playing backup to an elite QB and team...
I have no idea. Maybe he's friends with Plax and they came as a package both being from MSU? Did they work out together or something?
Anyone know why the Pats cut him?
The last Pats backup, Cassell, is awful. Belichick has a history of bad QBs other than Brady. He hit the jackpot with Brady, but even going back to Cleveland, he's never had a knack for developing QBs. So this signing is a bit of a head scratcher.
Yeah the Pats cut Hoyer not because he wasn't progressing but because they invested a draft pick in Mallet. There was some upset within the Pats camp because Hoyer at the point he was cut was the better QB...certainly managed games better. Hoyer put up some really nice numbers in his two preseasons, is a good game manager and can make the throws.
1 Takkarist McKinley-OLB UCLA
2 Budda Baker-FS Washington
3 Noah Brown-WR tOSU
4 Joe Mixon-RB Oklahoma
5 Ahkello Witherspoon-CB Colorado
6 Riley Bullough-ILB Michigan State
7 QB-Seth Russell-Baylor
I think Hoyer is a good pick up. The type of offense the Pats run is not that different than what haley is running based on quick reads and short to medium range routes. Let's face it, it's not like there are alot of great QBs waiting for a job.
I was more surprised we signed Burress over Derrick Williams given that Williams was with us all through camp. Personally I think Burress will be on zero value. he wasn't good last year when he played and I don't expect he will do anything for us. They should have just brought up the other kid from the practice squad like they did Gilreath.
The Rams' offense featuring weapons such as Marshall Faulk, Torrey Holt, and Isaac Bruce were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf"
The Steelers' offense featuring weapons such as Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant should be known as "The Greatest Show on Grass"
This has nothing at all to do with respective playing surfaces at the Edward Jones Dome vs. Heinz Field.

Good shoe
"This is a good show for a toddler. My son loves the color green, and he liked this shoe as soon as he saw it. It's a nice shoe to wear to parties, events, and family gatherings. Not so much for the playground as you'd want something more rough and durable, and you'd probably want to keep this shoe clean :)"

DUBAI, U.A.E., 15th February 2012: Emirates is to upgrade its Amsterdam service to an A380 from 1st August 2012.
Since launching passenger flights to the Netherlands in May 2010, the route has been operated with a combination of Boeing 777-300ER and 777-200LR aircraft, arranged in a three-class configuration.
Following 18 months of strong demand, the Boeings will be replaced with the airline's flagship Airbus A380. Spread over two decks, the remarkably quiet aircraft provides 427 seats in Economy, 76 mini-pods in Business Class and 14 First Class Private Suites – next to two Onboard Shower Spas. Available to all premium class passengers on the upper deck is a popular Onboard Lounge where travellers can exchange tales over a drink.
"To upgrade from a 777 operation to an A380 in a relatively short space of time demonstrates the strong demand from travellers to fly with Emirates and experience our superior products and services," said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Europe and Russian Federation.
"The combination of introducing our largest passenger aircraft onto the route when we already have such an established cargo track record is a formidable partnership, which will benefit tourism and trade between the Netherlands and the UAE," Mr Obaidalla added.
From 1st August 2012, EK147 becomes an A380 flight, leaving Dubai at 08:25 hours and arriving in Amsterdam Schiphol at 13:30 hours. The return Double-Decker service, EK148, departs Amsterdam at 15:30 hours and lands in Dubai at 23:59 hours.

: Hello
: Great site! The hot water to my master shower take about two minutes to heat and does not get very hot(sits about 30 feet from a new hot water heater). The second bath, which is right next to the hot water heater, heats up quickly and gets very hot. I know that the second bath's pipes are insulated (wrapped all around the valve and 2 feet down the pipe). Do you think that insulating the master bath pipes would greatly help or is it just too far from the water heater?

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Many Emery County residents gathered at a public hearing to make comments on the proposed construction of a new pool. The hearing was held during the Emery County Commission meeting on July 18. Commissioner Drew Sitterud opened the hearing, "The Castle Dale pool is in disrepair and Mayor Neal Peacock said the pool will be closing at the end of this year. The city can no longer afford to maintain that pool. We have toured several pools and we don't have an architectural drawing yet. The pool is still in the planning stages. We will approach the Community Impact Board with the pool proposal. The cost of the pool has risen with the prices of concrete and metal going up. The architect has recommended a 25 meter six lane pool for indoor lap swimming and an outdoor play pool. The outdoor pool is 9,000 sq. ft with a slide and a sloping entrance. There will be a diving board, but no high dives. We are looking at a stainless steel pool liner which is maintenance free. The indoor pool would be heated. They are proposing heating the building with thermal heat. The indoor pool would stay open throughout the winter.
"The indoor pool building would be approximately 17,500 sq. ft. and would include handicap access. There would be men and women showers and family dressing rooms, an equipment room and a room for birthday parties. The floor would be colored concrete. The indoor pool would be well lit with glass on three sides and would open into the outdoor pool area. We are putting together a CIB application and looking for public input. We are hoping for a zero percent loan with a partial grant. The maximum the interest would be is 3.5 percent.
"We originally looked at locating the pool at the high school where the school district would donate the land and we've also looked at school property by Castle Dale Elementary; or we could go and purchase property. That hasn't been decided yet," said Sitterud.
Sitterud explained the proposals which shall be on the November ballot. He said $100,000 for an annual maintenance fee for the pool will be one of the items on the ballot.
The other proposal is for the purchase of municipal bonds for the cost of the pool. The pursuit of the pool will be contingent on a majority vote in favor of the pool from Emery County voters in November. Sitterud said if the vote is no, the county with withdraw the CIB grant/loan proposal.
"There are several plans, we want to see what's best for the people. It's important people understand there are two different levies," said Sitterud.
Alex Buxton, the county's financial advisor from Zions Bank said they have worked up an application for CIB which is due on Aug. 1. The bond would be repaid over a 30 year period. If the interest rate was 2.5 percent yearly payments would be approximately $190,000. With a $4 million loan at zero percent interest the payments would be approximately $134,000 per year. Commissioner Sitterud is a member of the CIB and also Bevan Wilson of Huntington which gives Emery County good representation on the board. If the vote passes for the pool then the bonds would be issued in late December or early January with pool construction beginning in the spring.
There would be no pool next year, unless Castle Dale would consider keeping the pool open one more year. Commissioner Gary Kofford explained the tax increase to cover the bonds would be less than $10 per year for residential property owners.
Sprinklers for the outside pool were also discussed. Commissioner Sitterud said the county might have a fight with the Utah Taxpayers Association, which is a watchdog organization for taxpayers, if the sprinklers are installed he said they contend the addition of sprinklers and water park type activities should be reserved for private business. Commissioner Sitterud said the county is prepared to fight against the taxpayers association, because of the small population of our area, a waterpark type business wouldn't be feasible.
A citizen said the sprinklers are a good idea for the younger children and kids who can't swim can run in the sprinklers. Commissioner Kofford said it's better to go ahead with the sprinklers to begin with rather than do it later on, because it would probably never happen.
Much education will need to be done in explaining to the people exactly what the tax increase for their property would be as well as the taxes for business owners.
A citizen wondered if Rocky Mountain Power had voiced an opinion about the project as they are the largest tax payer in the county and they haven't voiced an opinion as of the meeting date.
A citizen wondered if the other cities have been approached to pledge funding for maintenance and operation of the pool as Castle Dale has done. No other city has stepped forth as of this time. Castle Dale City is also donating the water for the pool. Castle Dale has operated the swimming pool for 42 years and has never made a cent on the pool, just operating it as a public service to the county children.
A citizen wondered if the project could be done where there is room for expansion like with ball fields, and a kitchen facility and other recreational opportunities.
The high school and elementary school students will be able to use the pool and a swim team will be developed at the high school. Swim meets and competitions will be held at the new pool. One citizen stressed the importance of teaching kids to swim because it is a lifesaving skill.
Castle Dale Mayor Neal Peacock felt if the county and school district are working together it will hold more weight with the CIB board. The schools could use the pool at no charge, but would be responsible for their own lifeguards and cleanup.
A swimming pool committee is being formed and if citizens are interested in being on the committee they can contact Mayor Peacock at 381-2115.

Portable Bathtubs: Tub Bathing from the Early 19th and 20th Centuries
Bathing, from the early 19th to the early 20th centuries, required stamina and fortitude. Without indoor plumbing, bathing involved filling small portable tubs with water, bucket by bucket. This, as well as different attitudes about cleanliness, meant that few people fully immersed themselves in water.
"Portable Bathtubs: Tub Bathing from the Early 19th and 20th Centuries - Introduction" showing 1 items.
1900 - 1920 Salesman's Sample Porcelain Bathtub
- Description
- By the early 20th century, many in cities and towns lived in homes with bathrooms. Consumers now viewed tubs as plumbing fixtures rather than furniture, along with sinks and toilets. In providing recommendations for fixtures in this new room, advice manuals and sanitary specialists preached against the heavy, free standing tubs behind which dust and dirt could collect.
- Bathtub manufacturers began to market built–in porcelain tubs, which they claimed were more durable and more easily cleaned than those of metal or iron enamel. Soon porcelain tubs came in various colors, "lend(ing) themselves to the most refined artistic and delicate (bath) decorations."* The Trenton Potteries Company, maker of this sample, was one of the larger manufacturers of porcelain tubs in the United States.
- Many bathers, now accommodated by indoor plumbing and hot water, took to the tub for pleasure and relaxation, as well as to get clean. Ivory Soap advertisements emphasized this: "Ah—my Ivory bath—it's a pleasure—pure pleasure."** The bathtub became the center of the cleanliness ritual. The bathroom was on its way to becoming one of the featured and larger areas of the home in the later 20th and 21st centuries.
- For more information on bathing and bathtubs in the 19th and early 20th century, please see the introduction to this online exhibition.

Skip to comments.CA Planned Parenthood Joins Pro-Choice Clergy to Launch 40 Days of Prayer In Support of Abortion
Posted on 04/11/2012 11:17:32 AM PDT by Brad from Tennessee
The Six Rivers Planned Parenthood of Eureka, California, has a new prayer campaign that may cause some head-scratching among religious individuals who stand opposed to abortion.
The initiative, 40 Days of Prayer: Supporting Women Everywhere, provides 40 different prayers that can be offered up in support of abortion rights. . .
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
To whom are they directing their prayers?
Well then!! You just can't make up stuff like this!
Absolutely. He has nothing positive to offer, so all he can do is invert everything that's good —in this case, 40 Days for Life.
I don't think that Jesus ever prayed for the death of innocents.
Yes, yes, he's one. But there are others: Baal-Moloch, Shiva, Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub. And whoever Bill Ayers invokes when he kneels at bedside each night.
No, they are praying to the god of this world, to the prince of the powers of the air and he who can appear to be an "angel of light". They pray to the one The Lord Jesus Christ stated, "I beheld Satan as lightning falls from heaven".
Don't these morons have any fear of being struck by lightning in the course of a "late term abortion"?
When I first saw the title, I was almost certain this was one of John Semmens satires.
When creating their own gospel, they eliminated phrases like "repent" and "sin no more."
"O Lord! We pray that you will allow full funding for Planned Parenthood so that minorities, the feebleminded, and other inferior beings may be cleansed from our lives. Grant us these things so that we may breed a race of thoroughbreds - fit, clean and white - that we may glorify ourselvers forever and ever. Amen"
> To whom are they directing their prayers?
Molech. The god of child sacrifice of the Ammonites.
"And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not..."
Jeremiah 32:35
Dr. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale
I"D imagine it opens up a direct current bridge between Earth and Hell and is not, in the long run, a very good idea.
I am sure God will answer their prayers,not in the way they had intended originally but they will get a response.Otherwise this is little more then a publicity stunt in poor taste.
They're not praying to Him but to a "god" of their own invention.
Anybody know who will be there representing the elca?
We are religious leaders who value all human life. We accept that religions differ about when life begins. We are here to help.
We believe that human life is holy. Thats why we believe in your right to choose to be a parent or not.
The stupid! It burns! How do these statements connect? If you believe that human life is holy, then your very existence as an organization is self-deception at best, and a spit in the face of God at worst!
And their 'prayers'?
Jesus is so proud of this "clergy?". (sarc, as if I needed to point that out, but some liberal "clergy" might be lurking)
It's leaders are a mix of the most left wing of mainline Protestants, Reform Jews, one Muslim, and unitarians.
I didn't see Catholic Clergy, Evangelical Clergy, or Orthodox Jews listed.
St. Francis Episcopal Church
568 16th Street
Fortuna, CA 95540
(707) 725-4686
email: email@example.com
The pastor, Rev. Jeri Gray-Reneberg, is married and the mother of two daughters, is a past board member of Six Rivers Planned Parenthood and a present member of Clergy for Choice. She is also an "anti-violence" activist.
More here: http://stfrancisfortuna.org/index.html
I strongly recommend writing, e-mailing, and phoning, and letting them know (in the nicest possible way) that what they are doing is
Thank you.
I suspect at some point that clerical collar will be traded in for a millstone.

I work with several organizations that have older NetVista and ThinkCentre machines
Example machine types would include:
8307-xxx NetVista
8143 -xxx
I have found that the 8307 (even with the latest BIOS) does not appear to be able to boot a USB device (e.g. a thumb drive). Does anyone know if this support can be added or if I am missing something?
I have not checked yet but fear the 8113 & 8143 machines might be in trouble there as well....
Thanks for any input!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Booting from a USB drive is kinda new. Netvistas don't support that at all, AFAIK. It was introduced with ThinkCentres, and it is not functionality that can be added after the fact. Boot order in the BIOs is really the only easy way of telling, and you have to look there first, as often times it has been excluded from boot order all together. After that, F12 is your friend.
Thanks, I was hoping for a "magic bullet" but am not surprised that none exists
I reckon we'll have to stay in the dark ages until budgets free up ...
Hi All,
I've got a similar issue in that I just picked up an 8808 that had no HD. I put in a installed a brand new HD, put my XP install disc in and can't get to the BIOS to get it to boot from the disc as it doesn't know that there is a keyboard connected.
Ever seen anything like this?
Thank for your time.
Wow... that's weird....
I assume you are using a USB-interface KB since the 808 has no PS/2 ports right?
I do not have the manual handy for the 8808, so don't know if there is a CMOS "reset" jumper on the motherboard or not, if not or you don't want to look you could pull the coin battery out and leave it out for a few hours with machine unplugged. At that point it should boot to BIOS with the invalid CMOS config. error and that should allow you to access the BIOS and sort things out...
Well... "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" ....
Yup - USB KB as the 8808 has no PS/2 port.
I'm going to take a different KB home from work today and see if perhaps my KB has some broken keys that I just didn't know about (long shot). I had pulled the battery last night but only for about 15mins or so and it's now giving me boot errors before asking to hit F1 to enter set up, but F1 doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks for the feedback! Pretty frustrated last night.
well since you are now getting the "F1" prompt it sounds like a KB or port problem.
In addition to different KB you could try other ports (one on the front of the machine say...)
Other than that mmmmmmmmmmm it could be serious.....

Well, i can't explain in the best way but i will point out the factors which contribute to her survival.
1) katsuya is not only present and assisting, tsunade had the energy and strength left to summon.
2) she is still regenerating her cells rapidly?
3) tsuchukage will not accept whatever life saving technique tsunade offers in order that she may live and that he now dies upon his redemption before gaara. (Prediction)
4) naruto appears and life forces up those mokuton trees with his boss chakra modes. Everyone miraculously heals and has minty fresh breath.
5) HQ uses ftg or some fallback to rescue the kages and recouperate.
6) orochimaru does something unexpected and silly.
7) Karin does something unexpected and silly.
