Spartans fight for play-off position
With one week to go in Region 8 basketball action, the Emery High Spartans find themselves in a dogfight for the right to advance to the 3-A play-offs this season. With Juan Diego and Delta wrapping up the first and second place seeds already, the Spartans, Carbon Dinos and North Sanpete Hawks are fighting for right to represent the region in the final two spots this year.
Emery currently has a 2-5 region record, as does Carbon. The Hawks are 1-5. With Emery's 65-39 defeat of Carbon last week, Emery has now defeated Carbon twice this season. Carbon, on the other hand, has defeated North Sanpete twice this season while North Sanpete has defeated Emery once and these two teams close out the season this Friday night in Mt. Pleasant.
So here is what it means in terms I can understand. If Emery wins, they finish third, Carbon is fourth and North Sanpete is done for the season. If North Sanpete wins, we have a three-way tie for third and then we have a coin flip or a play-in game or a combination of the two to decide placement.
Last week Emery also played Delta in Castle Dale and lost a close one 73-66. Emery fell behind 22-9 in the first quarter and it appeared for just a second that this game was over. After trailing 29-14 in the second quarter, Emery went on a run and narrowed the gap to 29-25 as they hit 11 straight points. Dempsey Jeffs and Nevin Jensen each hit a 3-pointer and Justice had 12 points in the quarter as Emery came on strong and trailed at the half 33-29.
After Jeffs with 10 points and Justice with 6 points kept the game close in the third quarter, Emery got to within 2 points late in the fourth quarter but could not get over the hump and finally take the lead. Kyler Edgehouse went nuts in the fourth quarter as he hit four 3-pointers, almost on consecutive shots, to bolster the Emery effort.
In the closing minute, Emery missed a couple of lay-ups, allowed Delta to grab the rebound on Delta free throws and just plain had no luck when it came to taking the lead. Emery fouls led to the final score.
Justice finished the game with 31 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists for a solid ball game. Edgehouse had 15 points on five 3-pointers and 4 rebounds. Jeffs had 13 points and 2 rebounds. Tyler Killpack finished with 6 points but led the team with 11 rebounds. Nevin had 3 points. Emery was 9 for 11 at the free throw line while Delta was 34 for 51 at the line. Big discrepancy but a fairly well called game.
Against Carbon, Emery got out to the early lead and then added to the difference each quarter. It was 22-10 after one, 38-22 at the half, 51-30 after three periods and 65-39 to close the game. Carbon scored the first basket of the night and then Emery scored the next 13 points, as Emery was deadly behind the 3-point line, as they hit six for the period.
After Justice had led the Emery effort with 12 first half points and 4 more early in the second half, Dave picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench. Jeffs then played some of his best ball of the season as he took over the leadership roll and scored the next 9 points to help extend the lead. With both Justice and Jeffs scoring 20 points, it was too much for the Dinos to handle. Justice also had 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Jeffs had 3 assists.
Edgehouse finished with 9 points, again all 3-pointers, and 5 rebounds. Jordan Gee had 8 points and 4 rebounds. Killpack finished with 2 points and also 5 rebounds. Karson Jensen left the game early after catching an arm to the head and appearing a little woozy.
"Our shooting was phenomenal tonight," Coach Jeffs told his players after the game, "and why, because we took good shots and did not rush them."
Coach Jeffs then looked ahead, "We have got a lot of ball ahead of us if we give the same emotional, hard effort that I saw from you in the first half tonight. We have got to get up for North Sanpete and just go over there and win. We have got to have a fierce effort and we need to keep shooting the ball well. We have control of the situation, let's keep it."
In the two games, Justice was 19 for 19 at the free throw line, a great stat. Also scoring in the Carbon game were Nic Larsen and Kyle Johansen with 2 points and Skyler Jorgensen, Cameron Hansen and Blake Mortensen with 1 point each.
Emery now travels to North Sanpete this Friday night and then travels to Uintah next Monday to close out the regular season.

Everything rubbed and was rigid. They run true to size so a half size larger was too big. Color is a neutral tan, but these are going back."

|Highlights: The Trump presidency on Feb. 24 at 12:35 a.m. EST/17:35 GMT -
Trump says he will make a massive budget request for one of the "greatest military buildups in American history" in a feisty, campaign-style speech extolling robust nationalism to eager conservative activists. Trump signs an executive order aimed at repealing or simplifying federal regulations. Trump criticizes the FBI for failing to stop leaks of national security information to the media and directs the agency to find those who pass on classified information.
|Kansas man charged with killing Indian in possible hate crime -
By Dave Kaup and Aditya Kalra KANSAS CITY/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A 51-year-old man has been charged with killing an engineer from India and wounding two other men when he opened fire in a Kansas bar in what federal authorities were investigating on Friday as a possible bias-motivated crime that shocked the victim's home country. The shooting on Wednesday night led news bulletins in India and triggered outrage on social media, where people voiced concern that U.S. President Donald Trump's "America First" position on immigration and jobs has fueled a climate of intolerance. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Friday that any loss of life was tragic, but it would be absurd to link the killing to Trump's rhetoric.
|Groups appeal decision that upheld U.S. rule on retirement advice -
Five U.S. financial services groups on Friday appealed a federal court decision handed down earlier this month that upheld an Obama-era rule designed to avoid conflicts of interests when brokers give retirement advice. "This is a misguided rule that will harm retirement savers and financial services firms that provide needed assistance and options to their clients, including modest savers and small business employees," the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Financial Services Institute, Financial Services Roundtable, Insured Retirement Institute, and Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association said in a statement.
|Industry groups appeal Texas judge's ruling upholding retirement rule -
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce appealed a Texas federal judge's ruling upholding a Labor Department's regulation aimed at putting retirement savers' interest first on Friday, the latest salvo in the securities industry's fight against the regulation. Earlier this month, Chief Judge Barbara Lynn of the Northern District of Texas ruled against the Chamber of Commerce and its many co-plaintiffs, dismissing its arguments that the Labor Department had exceeded its legal authority creating the rule, and that it had failed to conduct an adequate cost-benefit analysis to help justify the regulation. The Labor Department's "fiduciary" rule requires brokers to put their clients' best interests first when advising them about individual retirement accounts or 401(k) retirement plans.
|Overhaul of Medicaid expansion could cost states $32 billion: report -
Proposals in Congress that would effectively end Medicaid expansion in 31 U.S. states would cost those states at least $32 billion altogether in 2019, according to a report released on Friday. Republican President Donald Trump has pushed to fulfill a campaign promise to replace Obamacare, his Democratic predecessor's signature healthcare plan, with the help of a Republican-controlled Congress. More details of potential replacements by U.S. House Republicans for former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act emerged on Friday, though they have yet to agree on a single detailed policy proposal to repeal and replace the healthcare law.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
Vaughn Reid's Museum of Creativity at Clawson was recently toured by the historical society. On the way to Reid's museum the group saw the UFO Landing site on the slope, where a couple of space ships and the sign that warned, beware of snakes were seen. After passing the airplane on a post, the two buzzards sitting on a tall stump and a mine entrance the group came to the do nothing wheel or water wheel.
The museum is a large building held up inside by three very large trees and large beams. A tree is placed at each end and one tree is placed in the middle. The high roof is held up by very thick sturdy wooden beams. The plank floor has been sanded and polished. The many tables, lamps stands and other items made of wood are mostly highly polished. Reid calls this his three tree house. This house was very comfortable and very pleasant.
Inside the museum, Vaughn greeted everyone and welcomed them. Reid is a blacksmith, a machinist, a mechanic, an artist and all around good guy.
Reid said he spends a lot of time at this place, making things in his next door machine shop. Reid said, "The snow was so deep this year, he had to build a new snow plow, the old one could only push the snow so far."
One of the first things he pointed out in his museum was his wood and coal burning stove that was giving off welcome heat making the room warm as the day was cold outside. This stove is decorated with a deer and elk painted white, and a white painted pine tree over the fire door. Above the door of the stove is a five or six gallon brass kettle that holds water to raise the humidity in the room during the winter, it also provides hot water. The large stove at one time had been part of the boiler from a sawmill on Horn Mountain.
Reid continued the tour by showing a small table and wash stand he had made this winter. He found the pan for the soap and water on the internet for a dollar and it cost $14 dollars shipping.
Next he pointed to a large circular saw blade hanging on the North wall, with the title Reeder Saw Mill hand written on the blade. That was the original blade from the Reeder Sawmill. The sawmill had been on the terrace right at the head of Reeder Canyon.
There is a colorful lamp made this fall. The lamp is installed on a tree stump that makes three complete twists from base to where the lamp is installed. Someone asked Vaughn, "Where did you get a tree, twisted like that?" "I told him, I got it up on twisted tree ridge. When it was nearly finished I told him, we need a bent board, we will have to go up to bent board gulch to get a bent board. He thought I was joking. So we went up, and we weren't there more than 20 minutes, when I said here is the bent board, see how it is bent around that tree." The bent board attached to the twisted tree, makes a real nice shelf, shellacked and varnished to a high sheen.
The hot morning wood stove was next to be seen. It consisted of a hollowed out log about one and a half feet across and three feet high with a door cut in the front and a hollow four-five inch in diameter post for a chimney. Inside was a red flickering light that appeared to be flames burning. On the outer part of the door of this log were the words, "Hot Morning Wood Stove." This is guaranteed for one hot morning. Two halves of line shaft pulleys were holding up a shelf along the South wall. The door bell clanged loudly as others arrived.
Bart Cox picked up a pulley that had been used in the old Orangeville cultural hall to raise and lower the curtain. The curtain that Gavin Jack painted. A small red fire hydrant on display was one of the first fire hydrants in Orangeville. "The hydrant was on the corner by our house when I was a kid," said Reid. The hydrant was part of the first system put in at Orangeville.
"This table was made out of the butt of a tree and you can see all of the burrells or knobs on the stump. I found this tree down off of a ledge. It was dead. I cut it into pieces and it took me three days to work it up over the top, because I did not want to break off any of the burrells. Underneath the table is large piece of steel slag. A splash of steel that fell out of the ladle. It looks like someone's foot track is still in it," said Reid.
Near the east window stands a hand cart, with steel wheels and polished wood side boards and handles. In the box of the hand cart are steel candle stick holders and clothing hangers formed in the blacksmith shop. Also in the cart was a shiny brass kettle.
There were many tables made from twisted trees stumps. Under one of the tables were a few small stuffed bears resting on the roots. Another table has what appears to be a marsh with ducks on it.
Reid displayed a vase made in his shop using his lathe. The vase is made of mountain mahogany from Horn Mountain. Reid said, "Mountain mahogany is the hardest wood that I know of, growing in Utah. You can see that it is pretty hard. The wood is heavy. The Russian Olive tree wood is also a beautiful wood to make vases and other things."
Richard Fairbanks suggested that Reid show the petrified wood pot. The first one he ever made from petrified wood.
Reid said, "We have here a rope block and another tree. You are in the treehouse, because there are three trees holding up the roof. When I was six years old my dad made me this little wagon. It is a wagon made of wood with metal wheels. The wheels were from the wagon my dad had when he was a kid. I have a picture of him sitting in his wagon.
Bart Cox found a two-foot long strand of thick, what he called Texas barbed wire. Everything from Texas has to be big.
Reid showed the group a kitchen water pump, a wheat or corn grinder, and a large gallon size milk bottle, he said he has milk bottles, from half pints up.
Reid has been collecting historical items and old things for many years.
Sitting in a corner was a milk separator for separating the cream from the milk. The milk would be put into the large kettle on top and while someone turned the crank, the milk was allowed to flow into the separator and milk would start flowing out one spout and cream out of the other. The painting on one of the walls of an elk was painted by Cliff Oviatt.
On a west wall was a broad ax collection and a cross cut saw collection. In the southwest corner of the big room is a doorway into a room that will eventually become a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom.
A southwest door leading to the outside has a large wooden Z made of thick boards across the top and bottom of the door and one board running diagonally from top to bottom across the door. Vaughn calls this his Z door. This heavy wooden door made of thick wide lumber also has two large three-four foot long four inch wide metal hinges made in his blacksmith shop. Vaughn spent one whole summer making those hinges.
On another wall are some plaques with interesting statements, such as, "I am sorry we quarreled, I hate it when you are wrong." "Of course I don't look busy. I did it right the first time". "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger tool." "I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either." "They changed the West. Barbed wire, fence posts and Henry's Model T." On a table sat a book with a wooden cover. The title of the book is "Everything Men Know About Women." Opening the book you find that all the pages are blank.
Reid pointed to a statue of an Indian on a horse waving a buffalo robe to let other Indians know he has found the buffalo. He said, "This was presented to me by the Intergalactic Counsel for providing and maintaining the UFO Landing Site."
Hanging on one of the trees or big posts in the room are several coils of a heavy thick rope. His grandchildren ask what is that rope for. Reid explained to them, "When I went to school the girls played jump rope with that rope. We had one small girl in our class that was six foot six and weighed 280 pounds and I always felt sorry for her because all the bigger girls were picking on her." Over head is a chandlier made of a wagon wheel.
Reid next demonstrated early pioneer tools, how pioneers made wood shingles and a tool for hollowing out logs for water troughs. One of the tools was called a shin ax or a toe ax, depending on what you chopped off. They were used for squaring up timbers. Many other early wood working tools were on display. Traps were hanging next to some animal skins, such as a skunk, a badger, a coyote, a raccoon, and a red fox. Above these is a metal depiction of an old trapper heading out on the trail. Only a few things seen have been described and photographed. There are so many things on display at Reid's Museum that it would take too many pages to describe them all. The group was next taken out to see the machine shop, lathes, drill press, and other tools, used by Vaughn to make many of the things in his museum. After the tour a pot luck lunch was held at the Clawson Park Pavilion.
Everyone on this tour felt they had learned much additional information about the history of Emery County.
The historical society meets once each month to keep the history of Emery County alive.

Retro perfection
"This shoe is a stunner, totally unique yet an absolute classic. I adore the "bow" on the toe, which combines suede and patent to give it visual textural interest. Also, the burgundy is so beautiful; deep, deep, rich color that matches the Poppie Jones clutch to a T. Love everything about this shoe, including the heel and single sole. I am sucker for a classic stiletto and silhouette. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!"

In Good Faith and Good Humor, the Rev. Nonnie Holliman Keeps America's Food Supply Safe
Most mornings, the Rev. Nonnie Holliman is awake at 3:30 a.m. to begin looking after a group that means a great deal to him—you and your family. In addition to leading Faith Tabernacle Christian Center in Syracuse, N.Y., Holliman works 12-hour shifts as a Consumer Safety Inspector at a nearby meat and poultry processing plant. In this capacity, he provides the first line of defense against diseased or adulterated food reaching store shelves.
CSI's are in meat and poultry plants every single day that they operate. They observe plant employees, take microbiological samples, and examine plant records to make sure firms are following federal regulations and creating safe and wholesome products for people to enjoy.
"I work every day knowing that my family and I will eat the food that we inspect, and I am sure that I speak for other inspectors in saying that our work matters," he said. Read more »

The devastating effect of the earthquake in Chile
On 26th February 2010, an earthquake measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale hit Chile affecting thousands of people. The Art of living Foundation in Chile undertook several initiatives to help victims start life anew, providing material support and conducting trauma relief workshops.
A group of 30 volunteers rushed to the "Rio Claro" Immediately following the disaster, a group of 30 volunteers rushed to one of the affected communities, the 'Rio Claro' community, teaming up with local government officials and other NGOs to bring relief to the victims. Volunteers provided on-site help including cleaning up of destroyed homes, providing food, supplies and support to the remote areas of 'Rio Claro' and conducted workshops for children in the affected area, distributing sweets and food, bringing smiles to the faces of many disturbed children.
The Art of Living Foundation will conduct a series of follow-up activities in the region in coming months, to:
- Team up with "Techo para Chile" (an NGO that builds temporary houses) and conduct trauma relief workshops while temporary homes are being built for the victims
- Train more instructors in the region to teach trauma relief workshops
- Conduct more trauma relief workshops

Thank you David from Good Karma Cafe!! We collaborated on creating a latte art of our NextFab logo. The logo came out so nicely. Plus, it was fun!! I am so pleased with the result. This was a bit more tricky than I thought it would be… It took a few tries to get it to work.
Here is the trick. We laser cut the stencil with our Trotec 500. We tweaked our logo so it can be cut in to a stencil without losing elements. With stencils, you cannot have free floating elements (or they won't stay on). You have to make sure all the elements are connected.
We used cinnamon powder to sprinkle over the stencil to get the image. You can also do this with other powder toppings like cocoa powder, nutmeg, etc…One thing you should know is that the surface of the froth should be as close to the top of the cup as possible without touching the stencil to get the most detail and clean edges.
Voila!! Thanks to all the staff at Good Karma for helping me out with this. I'm really happy with the result. I can't wait to do other images!

Very Nice Shoes!
"I've been excited about these shoes since I ordered them. My daily commute is mostly walking and I usually stand a lot at work so I definitely needed something comfortable. I ordered these in a 9.5 because that's what I usually wear though, depending on the shoe, I wear either 9 or 10 as well. The shoes arrived today and I tried them on. The 9.5 seem to be a bit small, but the shoe is pretty much a slip on, which made it difficult to get my feet in. So I'll be shipping these back out tomorrow for a size 10. And from the few seconds of wearing these, I was really surprised at how comfortable they were."

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

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

Not sure Justin should be making sandals
"I ordered an 8 (my normal size) but the arch is very far back in the shoe. If I put my foot where the arch feels right, my foot is hanging off the back of the shoe if i put it forward, it feels aweful with no support. They don't have half sizes and it appears they do not have these shoes in store so I can try on a larger/smaller size to see if I can find a comfortably fitting size. They are really pretty though."

Customer Reviews
I have to echo the reviews of other's on here; the quality of this product is poor and inconsistent. My first one was a dud so it was exchanged for another. Now this second one seems to have died on me only after 2 months which is really too bad because it's otherwise very pleasurable! Given similar reviews of this product by others perhaps GV should discontinue this product.
I was very excited when i got the rabbit yestrday and used it now in the morning. I didnt feel any pleasure or satisfaction and above that it died on me 20 min ago with the new batteries. Very disappointed and very sad. I perfer my butterfly blis i can have and orgasam after orgasam but not with the rabbit i didnt had even 1. I will be calling cs for a refund.
I've had 3 or 4 of these over the course of the years, all purchased here. I expect them to last a couple of years. I've found the quality to be quite varying. The first one I bought broke down within a couple of weeks. Store people were very nice and replaced it without question. The replacement did last. Third one was a complete dud again. Partially defective but still workable on arrival, but barely lasted a couple of months. I just ordered my 4th one but I think it will be the last time. Love the design, love what it does when it works but the inconsistency is clearly a problem.
My first rabbit. Wonderful when I first got it three months ago, but after less than a month of (light) use the variable speed stopped working. Now it only works on the highest setting which is a little much for me. Sounds like a common issue from the reviews. Still great as a non-vibrating dildo.
This was my favorite vibe I ever owned, also my first and only rabbit. Due to an unfortunate event I no longer have it but would not hesitate to buy it again. With new batteries it was sometimes too much to handle which is a vast improvement over some of the weaker models out there.
I was happy with this product when I first got it, then it broke a few weeks later :( My partner and I bought it and took it on a trip, it worked the first night, then bam, it wouldn't even turn on the next night. I took it back, they tested it at the shop, and confirmed it was dead. I got a new one, yay! Then after a few months, the control for the speed stopped working all the time. Sometimes I would turn it and it would turn on and increase. Other times I would try and it would only turn on to the lowest level, it seemed like it was not catching. This would be a nice product if it lasted. I am extremely disappointed on the construction, I have cheaper similar vibes that have lasted longer (multiple years!). I was excited about this one being waterproof, but it has even failed with that. I no longer can use my second one (I didn't even get the chance to try it in the water!) I'd say try a different brand, after 2 that broke, I don't think it was worth the money.
the price is right, love the dual action and that it's waterproof, fun to travel with
My boyfriend, at the time, bought this for christmas for me and let me tell you that was the best christmas present I've ever gotten. It worked great, the vibration was great. It was just the right size wasn't too big and wasn't too small. Unfortunately about 1 and half years later it doesn't work. No power, even after trying different batteries. I will be getting another rabbit but it will not be this one. It looks like many other people didn't have any problems so if you are thinking about getting this one, GET IT! TRUST ME! You will love it.
I have never had a rabbit before. Let me tell you I will never be without one again!
Love that it is flexible, but still sturdy. Love the realistic head and ridges up top and also the ridges towards the bottom. This thing feels kind of big, but I like a good stretch ;) The bunny ears were a little weird at first, but it's really the nose that hits the good spots and once I figured that out, we were good to go!!
If you're on the fence about this, I can only say GET IT!
I've had this for two years now, and it's starting to die on me, which is really sad, and I'm considering replacing it with the same one!
1. Waterproof! Perfect! Completely submerged in bath and it is still great. The material is durable and it is well-made. No weird plastic smell.
2. Adjustable turn-dial knob for vibration, very nice, lots of variety in strength.
3. The shaft is bendy, so you can keep it straight or curve it, depending on your body, what you like, and the position you are using it in. It is kind of big, but the firmness of the material is likely to feel different from flesh, so it has been great going solo.
4. The handle! the base of the rabbit and the black knob for adjustment stay outside your body and are a good length for your personal use, or for a partner to use on you.
5. Vibration! This little rabbit works very hard, its little ears will definitely be felt, and the little nose of it will apply pressure to any specific spot you need or want. The shaft has considerable vibration as well, which I missed from regular dildos.
Definitely get this if you've never had a rabbit before, or if you want something waterproof!

The Blues will look to make 'home' ground advantage count when they take on the Stormers in Albany on Friday.
The Blues will look to make "home" ground advantage count when they take on the Stormers in Albany on Friday.
Sir John Kirwan's troops have won three out of their four matches played at Eden Park this season, but head across the bridge to North Harbour Stadium for this Round 12 encounter.
At the halfway stage of the competition, Friday's game shapes as a season-defining one for both teams.
Trailing the Chiefs by three points and just two points ahead of the Crusaders in the New Zealand Conference, the Blues desperately need to nail this home game away from home to maintain their position in the top six.
The hosts are coming off a 12-11 defeat at the hands of the Reds, but left Brisbane witsofia suarezh their heads held high after dominating all facets of play before a Quade Cooper penalty with five minutes remaining snatched victory from the visitors' grasp.
Their defence was once again utterly resolute, and the Blues have now gone 177 minutes without conceding a try. The men from Auckland have only conceded 12 tries thus far, which is one more than the Stormers, making these two teams the best defensive sides in the competition.
The Stormers sit in 10th place on the overall standings but look to be approaching top form after a season wrecked by injuries.
Coming off a bye, they kicked off their tour of Australasia with a hard-fought 18-16 win over the Hurricanes in Palmerston North and – just like the Blues – have now won four and lost four (the Blues are ahead thanks to double the amount of bonus points they've collected this season).
The Stormers boast a hugely physical pack and a dangerous rolling maul. The Blues – who have lost their last three matches to the Stormers – will need to nullify that threat if they are to have a chance of winning away from their regular home base.
But with rain forecast in Albany, another tight encounter could be on the cards which should suit the Stormers just fine if last week's performance against the 'Canes is anything to go by. However, the Blues forwards have been arguably the best amongst the New Zealand teams this season so expect both packs to push each other all the way.
In team news, veteran All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu returns to the Blues line-up having started the last three games on the bench and replaces the injured James Parsons.
Kirwan has also tweaked his backline with Francis Saili coming into the midfield and Rene Ranger shuffling across to the wing.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has reshuffled his pack due to the return from injury of Siya Kolisi who covers for unavailable Michael Rhodes. But keep an eye on the bench where Stormers fans will be awaiting the welcome return of Eben Etzebeth.
Prediction: Playing at the less familiar North Harbour Stadium statistically goes against the hosts chances whilst a recent outbreak of flu in the Blues squad in the past week may level the playing fields even further. Stormers by three!
The teams:
Blues: 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Frank Halai, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Jackson Willison, 11 Rene Ranger, 10 Chris Noakes, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Luke Braid, 6 Steven Luatua, 5 Ali Williams (c), 4 Culum Retallick, 3 Angus Ta'avao, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tom McCartney.
Replacements: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Ofa Tu'ungafasi, 18 Anthony Boric, 19 Brendon O'Connor, 20 Jamison Gibson-Park, 21 Baden Kerr, 22 Lolagi Visinia.
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Gary van Aswegen, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Deon Fourie, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Scarra Ntubeni, 17 Pat Cilliers, 18 Eben Etzebeth, 19 Nizaam Carr, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Elton Jantjies, 22 Damian de Allende.

Very cute but hurts
"I have the similar sandal version of this thong sandal, and it's way better due to the comfort problem. This shoe is adorable but it hurts so bad to walk in. I'm not used to walking in thong sandals but perhaps if you are it won't hurt as much. Cute and run small. I'm normally a 6.5 but these fit in a 6. I have narrow feet and they fit perfect"

U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced that up to $130 million from the Advanced Research Projects Agency- Energy (ARPA-E) will be made available to develop five new program areas that could spark critical breakthrough technologies and secure America's energy future. This funding opportunity announcement comes two months after ARPA-E announced six of its projects have secured more than $100 million in outside private capital investment - indications that the business community is eager to invest in truly innovative solutions to the country's energy challenges.
"ARPA-E is unleashing American innovation to strengthen America's global competitiveness and win the clean energy race," said Secretary Chu. "In addition to creating new jobs, breakthroughs in clean energy technologies can reduce our country's dependence of foreign oil, decrease the cost of clean electricity, and build a sustainable infrastructure for future generations of Americans."
This announcement is ARPA-E's fourth round of funding opportunities. In its first year, ARPA-E awarded $363 million in Recovery Act funding to 121 groundbreaking energy projects based in 30 states, with approximately 39% of projects led by universities, 33% by small businesses, 20% by large businesses, 5% by national labs, and 3% by non-profits.
ARPA-E's fourth round of funding opportunities includes five technology areas detailed below:
The five technology areas announced will join ARPA-E's seven existing programs in power electronics (ADEPT), battery technologies (BEEST), building cooling (BEETIT), non-photosynthetic biofuels (Electrofuels), grid energy storage (GRIDS), carbon capture (IMPACCT), and its initial open solicitation.

Skip to comments.Not Guilty Candidate For Congress Fires Thompson Submachine gun in ad (Gorman-AZ)
Posted on 06/29/2010 3:56:34 PM PDT by C19fan
Political Ad for Pamela Gorman for Congress
Trigger control ma'am- trigger control.
Damn, she likes her toys BIG! First pistol looks like a .45 by how it kicks. Can't make out make/model. Revolver might be a .38?
And yes, def. NOT guilty!
So not guilty.
Not to pick, but why does the M16 or variation thereof seem to kick more in the video than the Thompson? I've fired both weapons and the Thompson is a beast that's almost impossible to control. In this vid, she's in complete control of the Thompson, but both handguns and the rifle rock her whole body. I strongly suspect that she's firing blanks in the Thompson.
So Not Guilty it's not even funny.
Ahem, sir, may I volunteer for that duty?
The Thompson has a compensator. I don't know what Tommy you shot but they are one of the easiest to control sub guns.
that semi auto pistol she is rapid firing is pointed all over the place. Those last couple shots were off into the air somewhere.
Basically keep a healthy distance from her when she is firing a gun, hee hee.
Sorry, but the Thompson is also setting her back. Notice how she is holding it, this keeps her from feeling the recoil as much, since the butt is being held under her arm and not against her shoulder. I would say she learned her lesson about holding the Thompson on her shoulder!
The Thompson a beast, you say? I beg to differ! The gun's heft reduces its recoil to a mere nudge. My petite wife handles it with ease.
I know nothing of her policies or politics, but anyone with the gumption to put out such an ad in politically-correct 2010 deserves to win!
I believe the standard issue military version (M1A1) did not have the Cutts Compensator.
Anything that gets the autocopulating, too-smart-by-half, liberal pantywastes favorite BVD's into a tight little wad works for me.
(the goo-tube comments are priceless)
The semi kicked like a .45 the pistol shot like a 357. That's my best guess.
Yeah, she was doing fine on everything except the 45. Looked like she was holding on for dear life.
Not only yes but HELL YES!!
I had an uncle who kept a Thompson under his bed his entire adult life. Where he lived is was a necessity.
However she will need to start a second fund raising account above and beyond her campaign fund raising to stay well supplied with ammo. ;-)
Talk about pull the trigger!
That works! .45 ACP has great stopping power. ;^)
Good advert.
It pisses off the right people.
But you don't support Gorman do you?
Dumbest ad I`ve ever seen. Talk about giving libs talking points.
I like her already.
I think she has a snowball's chance in heck. Sure is purty, though....
She was a great state senate representative of ours. And she was a state house rep of ours as well and we liked her.
How about a "compare and contrast" session.
I rest my case. Ooh. Brutal.
Oh, I'm in love.
Yep, the son Fred Flintstone never had.
A perfect political ad. Wonderful and it matches Arizonans mood.
Dead on.
"why does the M16 or variation thereof seem to kick more in the video than the Thompson?"
Probably a 9mm Thompson.
I have fired one in 9mm at the Machine Gun shoot in Albany.
From Wikipedia: "Some experimental calibers were .45 ACP (11.4x23mm), .22LR, .32 ACP, .38 ACP, and 9mm P."
I'm in love.
I don't know who she is sabe, but most of us here know that if you are against someone, we should seriously consider supporting them.
Sure you do. I recommended her before to you in this forum and you said some ex mayor from Gilbert would be better.
I'll buy that.
Well, if you're recommending her, then we should stay away from her.
She's as conservative as they come. In fact, she was number 4 in the republican leadership in the state house and because she took a no tax pledge was forced out.
Hey, somebody had to replace Helen Thomas as the most telegenic liberal.
It looks like you're feeling a bit better, which is good to see. What did you think of her as a state rep?
The video is pretty obviously a put-up job. She's obviously not familiar with the AR-15 or the pistol. It's cute, and I'll giver her credit for doing it, but is she for real conservative?
I really don't know much about her performance as Rep. Others who are in her district say she's good, so I'll go by that.
I think there is a large number of candidates for the seat she's running. It's "safe Republican," so the winner of the Primary will be the next Representative.
No denying she's easy on the eyes. I don't think this ad is very good, but it sure as heck isn't going to hurt her in this race.
Yes, I'm feeling better every day. Thanks for noticing! :^)

E-NEWSLETTER - December 2010
Executive Director's Message
On a Saturday morning in September, about 18 members of the Glendale College Foundation board and staff gathered in the impressive Glen Oaks Escrow building (thanks to Scott Akerley) to make plans for the coming year. Led by newly-installed President Ellyn Semler, the retreat was stimulating and productive. The group came up with some impressive goals, which you can read about below. In this issue you'll also find a story about one young man whose life has been changed at Glendale Community College through dance. He made a new beginning here at GCC, and his positive experience can inspire all of us to start 2011 with optimism and determination. After reading about Reo Cho, we hope you will be moved to help our annual appeal efforts by visiting us at www.glendale.edu/foundation. Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season from all of us at the Glendale College Foundation!
GCC Student Dancing His Way to a Brighter Future
For Reonaldo Cho, life has been an uphill climb. Born into a poor family, he spent his first 11 years moving between Compton and Koreatown, frequently changing schools and—as the only son in a traditional Korean family—feeling responsible for his family. At age 20, Cho still carries that sense of responsibility but sees a better life ahead because of Glendale College. "When I came to GCC in 2008, I wanted an education but that's all I knew. I loved being active and had played every sport I could—baseball, football, volleyball, basketball, soccer. But I'm too short for basketball and too skinny for football, so one day I took a dance class and shocked myself by liking it." Two-and-a-half years later, Cho is planning a career in choreography or dance instruction, something he never dreamed of when he was growing up on the mean streets of Los Angeles. "As a little kid, I thought I should be bringing money into the house," he said. "My parents didn't push that on me, but I could see they were always struggling." His father's erratic income from construction work often wasn't enough to buy food and pay the rent, so Reo (as he's called) started earning money at the tender age of seven. "I did the only thing I saw kids around me doing, I was a runner. Only problem is, I didn't realize I was carrying drugs, literally taking a package and running as fast as I could to a waiting car," he said. "I didn't know it was bad, didn't even know what I was carrying when I was seven. It was just a way to bring money home." The money and the satisfaction of helping out came to a quick halt when he was 10 and got caught red-handed. "The undercover officer believed me when I told him I didn't know what I was doing, and because I was so young he let me off with a warning…no probation, nothing," he said. "He thought I had learned my lesson." Reo thought so, too. Eventually his dad got a raise, and the family was able to move to Glendale when Reo was 11. With improved surroundings and better schools for him and his sister, things went well for a few years. "We had put all the bad memories behind us, and then my dad died. I was 15, a sophomore at Hoover (High School), and besides losing him we lost our only source of income, so I had to go to work," he said. He worked two minimum-wage jobs but the family couldn't make ends meet, so he reverted to old behavior. "I was dealing drugs again, but this time I knew it was wrong and it bothered me, so I saved a lot of money and quit dealing. By then I had graduated high school and enrolled in GCC. I was going to make a clean start." When a friend suggested they attend the GCC dance concert, Cho was skeptical. "I didn't want to go, but it turned out to be a real turning point for me," he said. "I couldn't believe the athleticism and beauty of the dancers, how expressive every movement was. I thought it would be easy and decided to try it." He was hooked from the first jazz class he took with instructor Victor Robles, but realized right away that it was definitely not easy. For one thing, he found out that his 5'6", 100-pound body was surprisingly inflexible. "I had never done anything so physically demanding," he said. "Victor worked me hard, kept pushing me, but my body wouldn't cooperate. I always want to be the best I can at what I do, so it was disheartening and motivating at the same time." Another instructor, Dora Krannig, has seen him evolve from awkward to artistic. "In my ballet class a couple of semester ago, he was new to dance but determined, with an incredible ability to focus," she said. "When he enrolled in choreography I was shocked to be confronted with such a keen artistic sense. He has a rare gift for somebody who started dance so late…I believe there's a future for Reo as a choreographer." Cho looks forward to transferring to either CalArts or Cal State Long Beach after completing an A.A. and dance certificate from GCC with the goal of choreographing or teaching dance. He's realistic about his chosen profession, however, and also plans to earn a certificate in medical assistance or a related field so that he can hold a "day job" while pursuing his dream. "I don't want to be in a position where I'm not earning enough to support my family. My mom and sister have always been there for me in the bad times, and I'll never forget that," he said.

The retreat started with breakfast, of course, and a preview of the new Foundation video now being finalized. For the rest of the day, the focus was on selecting and prioritizing Foundation goals. The consensus for the top goals included developing an annual signature campus event that would involve faculty, staff and students and also be a draw for the community. "Many local events are held at restaurants, halls and hotels," said President Semler. "We have an exceptional campus at GCC and we want more community members to see it and be proud of this spectacular Glendale resource." Dianne Endsley, chair of the Community Relations Committee will be heading these efforts. Following is a summary of other defined goals.
President's Circle Funds Making a Difference on Campus
In its inaugural year, the President's Circle of the Glendale College Foundation has funded grants to three campus projects and the first one—the Los Angeles Writers Reading Series—was a tremendous hit with faculty, staff and students.
GCC English instructor Jocelyn Heaney thanked the Foundation for its sponsorship of the recent event that filled Kreider Hall. "This series was started to give students the chance to meet first-rate Los Angeles authors that they are studying, and also to give them a glimpse in the career of writing," said Heaney.
The standing-room-only audience was engaged and appreciative for Los Angeles Times book critic David L. Ulin, whose work The Lost Art of Reading has just been released, and memoirist Bernard Cooper, author of The Bill from My Father and Guess Again. Ulin opened the program with insights into the challenges of reading in the age of technological distraction. "Our culture suffers from a lack of serious, deep thought," he said. "Reading generates empathy for other people, other ways of thinking, being, and a quietness and stillness." The mood shifted slightly, from thoughtful to humorous, when Cooper took the podium and read from his account of receiving a bill from his father for paternal services totaling $2 million. The bill itemized amounts for food, clothing, tuition and so on. "My father's bill was an abstract, unpayable enormity," he said. "My life had been boiled down to nothing more significant than a check for a cup of coffee." After the lively session, students gave their reactions and it's safe to say, from the following comments, that everyone considered it time well-spent, "I loved that David Ulin said that re-reading a book that you haven't read in a while brings the present and past together and shows how much you've changed." "I am taking my first college English class and have never been to anything like this before. The reading was great because seeing the authors added a level of realization to the pieces we've read. Also, the Q & A gave me an inside look at their writing methods, where they write and how and what they read." "Ulin and Cooper's writing was unfamiliar to me. When they began reading, I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised. When I read a novel, I am often at a loss about a writer's intentions but hearing their voices breathed new life into their texts. The reading inspired me to develop my writing style." Grants were also given to the debate team and the Eclipse literary magazine from the President's Circle fund. The Circle has more than 30 members who support Glendale College in an ongoing, sustaining way by contributing a minimum $1,000 unrestricted gift. Membership is renewable each year.
