Journey to the Fin Du Monde
June 22 2009 03:09PM
As loyal Nationeers are aware, something excellent happened last week – something that could only happen when a bunch of ridiculous Oilers fans band together to ensure that they're getting best coverage a young website can provide them with.
Like a pack of maddened, hockey-obsessed jackals, you goons got together and decided to fundraise to send a Nation writer to Montreal so you could get all the Entry Draft coverage you'd ever want. It started with a snide remark Brownlee made about Wanye being a "cheap screw".
And fair enough. Wanye's so cheap he steals empty cans of Lucky Lager and then comes to my place to fill them up with my über-expensive vitamin P. And I have to spend the next week sober. SOBER while trying to maintain order here.
But when long-time OilersNation commenter humantorch (currently livin' large in Holland) suggested he'd pitch in a few bucks to send Brownlee to cover the Draft, well... For those of you just joining us, this should get you up to speed.
Show me the money
I bet a lot of you are wondering how things are going so far. I'm pleased to say that there's no question anymore: we WILL be sending herr Gregor to the 2009 NHL Entry Draft this coming weekend. Will Fraser and Brownlee are even going to cover his show while he's gone!
Here's the breakdown for you:
TEAM 1260 donation: $1,000 Wanye's donation: $500
For a total of $1,500. Not bad, right? What's really astonishing, though, is you guys.
You have raised a whopping $1,815 at last count.
That makes for a grand total of $3,315!
Sweet shit, Nation! You've done it. Gregor, Club Supersex, schooners of Fin Du Monde beer... You'll have your Draft coverage!
Don't stop now
I'm only joking, of course. As stated before, any money raised exceeding what's required for Gregor to cover the Main Event over the weekend will be donated to the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation. So don't stop now! Let's try and get together an obscene amount of money for the kiddies, and I'll make sure Brownlee, Gregor and myself get a photo of us handing over a novelty-sized cheque to the fine men and women at the Stollery.
And who will that cheque be from?
Why, the fine Citizens of the OilersNation.com, of course.
It shoudl get really interestign the next few days. There is a fan question chat on TSN website from McKenzie in which he mentions that the Isles are seriously considering taking Hedman first. If that happens, what does Tampa Bay do? I dont think they want Tavares, but if he is there do you take him anyway. Then do they trade Vinny? Or do they trade away that pick. Or maybe they pick Duschense and the Avs catch a huge break and grab Tavares third. That would be wild.

@ Mowzie: Mowzie did you get it from my name link? There is also the wale tape there, and J.cole. - self promotion. 3 tapes that each could be an album and so far are the three albums of the year. Nice to see some hip hop fans here.
I just grabbed Wale & J. Cole yesterday. Listened to a bit of Wale (not bad), but didn't check out that J. Cole disc yet. Throw ya diamonds up, RocNation in this B!
J.Cole tape is the best of them all (I am D*ckrider.no homo.pause). Listen to "losing My balance" and tell me he isn't gonna be big at least in rap-underground-terms R.O.C '09.
@ Prop Jay. What you think about Slaughterhouse? Been a Crooked I fan for a decade and I'm like Budden, Royce and Joell too.
^^ I'm liking.
Slaughterhouse is dope. That track "move on" was on repeat for weeks. Crooked I is super nice of course and its nice to see he reps the west.

So who gets the Sedins now? With Gaborik and either Hossa, Havlat or Heatley going there we maybe we are better off with the Sedins as our second line.
What would the Oiler lineup look like with the Sisters? I can't imagine Tambellini committing 10+ million/year on two guys getting second line ice. Ideally the Sisters would roll on line one with a bigger right winger riding shotgun (Maybe Penner could play on the right creating havoc down low). Horcoff would dip to the third line shutdown role with Moreau and Pisani. Gagner would play with Hemsky absolutely feasting on softer competition... Lets see... sign the Sisters, find a goalie, extend Smid and Grebs... That's like 63 million dollars. Oh... Nevermind.
June 23 2009, 06:28PM
@ Chris unless of course the sisters took a discount to play for Tambo. Man we must have nothing to talk about in Oilers land

Kurupt, Bishop Lamont & Crooked I all day!
@ Prop Jay: 'Move On' is a great track. You hear the new Slaughterhouse track with M.O.P. - 'Woodstock'? That new DJ Quik & Kurupt disc 'BlaQKout' is dope too. Bishop Lamont - 'The Confessional' and Crooked I - 'The Block Obama' are a couple disc to check out too.
On to hockey... My 1st predictions: Jay Bouwmeester to Dallas Dany Heatley to San Jose
Sedin's would be a great plan B. Sedin-Sedin-cogliano?
@ Mowzie
plan b as in a good reason to not have kids? (have you seen how stupid they look?)
@ knobert: Ya, but I could warch em play hockey without getting pregnant, so Im safe, and Im pretty sure no girl will let them get anywhere near her 'baby factory', if they do have kids here, there's plenty of ugly edmontonians, they'd blend in just fine. have you been to capX before, There are some UGLY faces in this city, what's two more?

Cardiff Blues are without several star players as they look for a first win in the Heineken Cup this season against Montpellier on Sunday.
Phil Davies side narrowly lost to Sale in Round One in a 34-33 defeat, before suffering a heavy loss in Dublin against champions Leinster.
Selection for the match has been restricted with a number of Cardiff Blues players picking up injuries over recent weeks. Leigh Halfpenny, Jamie Roberts and Bradley Davies all suffered medium-term injuries, while on international duty with Wales.
Michael Paterson, Dan Fish, Andi Kyriacou and Tom James all suffered injuries in the last two matches against Zebre and the Ospreys.
"Only a fortnight ago things were looking very positive for us, when we were welcoming back some key players," said Cardiff Blues director of rugby Davies.
'However, we have been extremely unfortunate to pick up a raft of injuries in the last few weeks.
"It is frustrating that we cannot select from a full strength squad for these crucial matches, but on a positive note, it gives a chance for some of our other players to step up and show what they can do."
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Jason Tovey, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 James Down, 4 Lou Reed, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Sam Hobbs.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Williams, 17 Tafa'ao Filise, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Macauley Cook, 20 Robin Copeland, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Owen Williams.
Montpellier: 15 Benjamin Thiery, 14 Yoan Audrin, 13 Thomas Combezou, 12 Paul Bosch, 11 Pierre Bérard, 10 Santiago Fernandez, 9 Benoit Paillaugue, 8 Johnnie Beattie, 7 Mamuka Gorgodze, 6 Alexandre Bias, 5 Aliki Fakate, 4 Drickus Hancke, 3 Maximiliano Bustos, 2 Agustin Creevy, 1 Mikheil Nariashvili.
Replacements: 16 Rassie van Vuuren, 17 Yvan Watremez, 18 Barry Fa'amausili, 19 Mickael Demarco, 20 Kelian Galletier, 21 Eric Escande, 22 Shontayne Hape, 23 Timoci Nagusa.

On the Hell topic, what exactly is it? Is HM hell? or is it a totally different place?
So when good people die or when they turn into hollows and die then they go to SS.
But when bad people die they go to Hell.
SS has the Gotei 13 to govern over the good souls, so im guessing Hell has a similar group governing over the bad ones? Maybe they are evil souls too?
But then what is HM? Id let it go more if there were both Shinigami and Hollows living there but it seems to be predominantly hollow there. So SS has predominantly Shinigami and ruled by Gotei 13, then HM which is predominantly Hollow (probably all bad because none have the "pretty lights going to SS" animation when they die) must be hell right? And HM has a Gotei 13 counterpart?
idk...I just hope Hell is explained in an arc one day, seems so interesting down there, much less faggotry and nice-ities...

The Emery County Planning and Zoning commission held their September meeting in Green River along with a public hearing. The public hearing was to receive input on the proposed zoning change for the Mancos Hills Industrial Park. The area being considered for the park is currently zoned, MGandR which is mining, grazing and recreation. The proposed change is to rezone to an I-Industrial Zone. Michael McCandless is the planning and zoning department director. He explained the purpose behind the request for a zoning change. "Emery County has obtained the development rights from the State Institutional Trustlands Administration for a 2,547 acre industrial park. Surrounding this property is approximately 800 acres of private property owned by a variety of owners. The remaining property is managed by the BLM.
"This development will connect to the town of Green River through a new road, constructed on the north side of the Union Pacific Railroad line. The development will also include a culinary water line, tied back to the town of Green River. It is envisioned, that at some point in the future, Green River may have interest in annexing the development into the city limits. "Although the current zoning allows for heavy industry projects under a Level 3 conditional use permit, marketing the industrial park is difficult with current zoning. Also MGandR zoning has different basis for decisions that may be compatible with industrial uses in this area. Development within the area enables increase in property tax values as development occurs because the property being developed is currently state owned and generates no taxes. "An additional reason for rezoning to industrial is to ensure that only industrial businesses locate within the park. Hotels, restaurants and truck stops are not permitted uses for the industrial zone. Green River City desires those types of businesses in town. MGandR is unclear about many of those other uses," said McCandless.
McCandless said Green River is an ideal location for trucking because it is less than 11-13 hours from major destinations like Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Boise and Denver. US-6 is the busiest road for interstate truck traffic in Utah. "In addition, it is a bulls eye for projects that can take advantage of Union Pacific. Railroad has become more attractive with fuel costs what they are. Rail traffic is classified by red, yellow or green sections. In a red section no new cars are available, in a yellow they would consider it, but a green section would allow for access. In Utah, only the Provo to Grand Junction line is a green light section. There is no access along the I-15 corridor. We have a unique opportunity because of where Green River lies," said McCandless.
John Urgo representing the environmental group HEAL Utah wondered how much of SITLA land is available for other projects. McCandless said right now there is interest from two entities. The only company that has put down money to secure their spot in the industrial park is Mancos Resources for a total of 640 acres for their uranium milling plant. Urgo was interested in how the process takes place. McCandless said prior to making an application the company must secure all other permitting for their project. There are preapplication requirements which must be met. Only complete packages will be accepted. McCandless said there are five private land owners in the area who have been very supportive of the industrial park because it makes their property marketable.
Urgo spoke in favor of the industrial park. After the meeting he said the problem the environmental groups have would come with the kinds of industry which might be allowed into the park. They will fight that battle when it arises.
Sarah Fields from Moab spoke of the two entities who have shown interest in the park. Mancos Resources has new water 800 acre feet. The water point of diversion would be north of Green River on BLM and would be piped across. A hearing on this water with the Division of Water Rights was to be held Aug. 27, but has been postponed. Transition Power which has been looking at the site has secured a large quantity water, some from Kane County and some from San Juan and it is reported to be leased water. To secure this water a change application and a change in point of diversion must be filed and approved by the state engineer. Mack Huntington, board chairman said the county commission will have to approve of any projects that go into the industrial park through the conditional use process. The commission will have to approve the zoning change. The zoning commission is bound by state statute in the conduct this process.
Conae Black, Green River recorder spoke in favor of the zoning changes. Keith Brady, business owner and councilman in Green River spoke in favor of the zoning change. He appreciates the focus on infrastructure and keeping the downtown strong. He believes Green River can look at housing in the years it takes for an industry to develop in the industrial park. McCandless said right now the property the industrial park lies on is property that generates little to no taxes. If industry comes in and the property is transferred from public to private it can begin to generate tax dollars. Bill Adams, Green River citizen wondered about the depth of the water table at the site. McCandless said several drilling records have been obtained on the property and water is way down approximately 1,500 ft. He also wondered about water rights and said people have approached him about buying his water from the Green River to haul to St. George.
Robert Smith from the Green River planning and zoning commission said he agrees with the zoning change, but he was concerned the Green River planning and zoning commission hasn't been kept in the loop on this project. McCandless said contact with the city has been slow because the details of the project weren't specific enough to go to the city. They didn't want to make plans with the city before SITLA and the county had worked out the details. The Emery County planning and zoning commission agreed to take all the comments from the public hearing and study them and be prepared in their October meeting to make a decision on the rezoning. Their decision of the industrial park will be sent to the county commission.

Manny Malhotra's Job "Has Been Claimed By Cody Hodgson"
Jonathan Willis
January 29 2012 09:23PM
Hodgson and Malhotra are pals, not interchangeable pieces.
According to senior Sportsnet columnist Mark Spector, Canucks prospect Cody Hodgson has walked away with Manny Malhotra's job. Is this true?
Here's the quote, in its glorious entirety:
You have to believe GM Mike Gillis would move Manny Malhotra, whose job has been claimed by Cody Hodgson. But with 13 points and a minus-7 this season, we are sad to come to the accepted conclusion that Malhotra's game has simply not returned in whole after the serious eye injury he suffered last season.
Of course, to answer whether or not Cody Hodgson has stolen Manny Malhotra's job, we first need to understand what Malhotra's job is.
One of Malhotra's primary jobs, as anyone who has watched more than one or two Canucks games this year knows, is to take defensive zone faceoffs. How do the Canucks' primary faceoff men rank in terms of defensive zone starts?
- Manny Malhotra – starts in the defensive zone 87.8% of the time
- Maxim Lapierre – starts in the defensive zone 83.0% of the time
- Cody Hodgson – starts in the defensive zone 51.4% of the time
- Ryan Kesler – starts in the defensive zone 51.2% of the time
- Henrik Sedin – starts in the defensive zone 20.9% of the time
There are three groups here: Henrik Sedin, who starts exclusively in the offensive zone, Kesler/Hodgson, who get a combination of offensive/defensive zone duties, and Malhotra/Lapierre, who start exclusively in their own end of the rink. Interestingly, among forwards with more than 20 games played, nobody in the league starts more in his own end of the ice than Manny Malhotra – in fact, the next nearest non-Canuck starts less than half as many starts (percentage-wise) in the defensive end.
Alain Vigneault has adopted a radical strategy that an alarming percentage of NHL media have yet to grasp: he has specific offensive-zone and defensive-zone units, guys that start in their own end or the opponent's end of the ice more than anybody else in the league. It's been that way for years now – other coaches do it, but nobody with as much dedication as Vigneault.
Of course, that's not all of Malhotra's game. He also kills penalties. Here are Vancouver's primary centers, ranked by penalty-killing ice-time per game:
- Manny Malhotra: 2:36
- Ryan Kesler: 2:13
- Max Lapierre: 1:23
- Henrik Sedin: 0:06
- Cody Hodgson: 0:00
Then, there's the whole 'winning faceoffs' thing that Malhotra does. Here are Vancouver's primary centers, ranked by their faceoff percentage:
- Manny Malhotra: 57.7%
- Ryan Kesler: 54.1%
- Max Lapierre: 53.0%
- Henrik Sedin: 48.8%
- Cody Hodgson: 41.2%
So, to summarize: Manny Malhotra is a defensive-zone specialist at even-strength, a penalty-killing specialist, and one of the league's greatest faceoff men. He has supposedly lost his job taking defensive zone draws, killing penalties and winning faceoffs to Cody Hodgson, who a) doesn't take defensive zone draws b) doesn't kill penalties and c) doesn't win faceoffs.
They aren't remotely comparable players. They're doing entirely different things. The idea that Vancouver is shopping Malhotra because Hodgson has replaced him is entirely without substance.
January 29 2012, 09:44PM
Excellent work, Jon. It's crazy how zone starts aren't discussed at all in Vancouver. It's obviously a big part of the twins' success. Helps us ignore how horrible they are defensively.
When Manny was brought aboard, this team took on a different dynamic: it (along with a high shooting percentage) turned Ryan Kesler into a legitimate threat. And now it's done the same to Hodgson, with the defensive zone start rate for Malhotra hitting the lowest number ever for a regular, I'd bet.
Like Dellow said on Twitter, you really stuck the knife into Spec here.
You can't possibly know all this.
You haven't been at the games or in the locker room.
January 29 2012, 09:50PM
Are you sure this is right? Because Spector has all of that vaunted MSM experience and access. Could he be so spectacularly wrong? Have to say it's probably impossible
Seriously though, wonderfully succinct and clear post.
Great post .
January 29 2012, 11:37PM
You are quite wrong. Mr. Spectre obviously has been paying attention and has read Harrison Mooney's "How To Fabricate A Successful Canucks Trade Rumour" posted on Pass It To Bulis on January 28, 2012. Mr. Spectre has all of the required elements in his article which, as we all now know, doesn't need to be true, just sound right. Oh. Perhaps he hasn't got it quite right after all. Good work, Mr. Willis.
January 29 2012, 11:40PM
I love this post. It is either the most wonderful piece of irony and sarcasm that I have read in months or the poster is so out to lunch he thinks that it is breakfast time. Either way, it is a masterpiece.
January 30 2012, 12:03PM
This is a fantastic post that shows the true power in using advanced statistics for analyzing hockey players.
Spec can see things from the press box that you can't even imagine yet.
There's way more drama and human emotion to think that Malhotra hasn't returned to his old self, and therefore that maybe the Canucks will part with an old but broken warrior. That's the story.
The irony, as is pointed out, is that Malhotra has completely returned to his old self.

How to Become a Court Interpreter
What is the Court Interpreter's Role?
A Court Interpreter is a person who interprets orally from English to another language and vice versa in a court hearing. Interpreters also translate written documents.
To interpret means to provide the same meaning in the target language as the meaning in the source language. The interpreter's role is to render a complete and accurate interpretation or translation, without changing, omitting, or adding anything to what is said or written. In essence, the interpreter serves as a two-way bridge between those who speak English and those who do not.
It is not the interpreter's role to explain what is being said. It is not the interpreter's role to give advice or counsel or to provide services other than interpreting from one language to another.
What Skills Must a Court Interpreter Have?
Court interpreting requires extensive knowledge and skill in languages, and is a very demanding job. Being bilingual is not enough. Even people who are fluent in two languages often do not have a sufficient command of both languages, sufficient legal and technical vocabulary in both languages, and sufficient interpreting skill to interpret in a courtroom.
The level of expertise required for court interpreting is much greater than that required in everyday conversation. In addition to having a thorough command of English and the other language, a Court Interpreter must be able to deal with technical and specialized language. A Court Interpreter must be able to interpret accurately for individuals with a high level of education and a large vocabulary, as well as for people with very limited language skills, without changing the language register of the speaker. The interpreter must also possess excellent mental skills, including the ability to accurately convert the source language into the target language, and vice versa, often with only an instant to choose equivalent words and phrases.
A Court Interpreter must also have good public speaking and interpersonal skills. If the testimony to be interpreted is shocking or traumatic, the Court Interpreter must be able to interpret without reacting or becoming emotionally involved. The Court Interpreter must work well under pressure and react quickly to solve complex linguistic and ethical problems. A Court Interpreter must continually strive to improve his or her skills by reading from a wide variety of sources, researching new terms and concepts, and improving techniques.

- Certified: Our most highly qualified interpreters.

A certified interpreter must be used unless one is not reasonably available.
- Approved: Our next most qualified interpreters.

The course alone is not enough to prepare most people to pass the examinations. The candidate should follow up with very intensive individual work. The National Center for State Courts website offers several training tools.
Examination to Become a Certified Court Interpreter
Certified Court Interpreters are the most highly trained and qualified interpreters. To become a Certified Court Interpreter, the candidate must complete the Basic Steps described above, they must attend the Skill Building Workshops described above, and they must also pass the Certification Examination which is provided to us by the National Center for State Courts. For a current list of languages in which a Certification Examination is available, see the National Center for State Courts website. The website also has training tools and other information.
The Certification Examination is offered once per year on the dates, times and location on the registration form. The fee (subject to change without notice) is $200 for Utah residents and $400 for non-residents and is non-refundable. Pre-registration is required, and payment is due upon registration. To register for the Certification Examination, complete and submit the following form:
The exam consists of three parts—sight translation, simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation—and the candidate must pass all three parts (minimum score 70%) within two years after passing one part. The entire three-part exam requires one hour, and candidates are scheduled for the exam on a first-come, first-served basis.
Continuing Requirements for Court Interpreters
All Court Interpreters must pass a background check every two years. Certified Court Interpreters must complete at least 16 hours of continuing education every two years. For more information, see our webpage on Continuing Education Requirements.
Interpreters from Other States
Utah recognizes comparable credentials from other states. Subject to compliance with the requirements in the next paragraph, an interpreter who has been rated as Superior on the Oral Proficiency Interview administered in another state will be recognized as an Approved Court Interpreter in Utah. And an interpreter who has passed the Certification Examination administered in another state with a score of at least 70% on all three parts will be recognized as a Certified Court Interpreter in Utah.
The candidate must complete the Utah Application to Become a Court Interpreter, pass the background check, and pass the examination on the Code of Professional Responsibility for Court Interpreters. The other Basic Steps are waived. Nevertheless, only interpreters residing in Utah will be listed on the official roster. To remain credentialed in Utah, Court Interpreters must meet the Continuing Requirements for Court Interpreters.
Interpreter Fees
Hourly Fees
- Certified: $39.80
- Approved: $34.11
- Registered 1: $34.11
- Conditionally Approved: $18.57
Minimum Fees. Court Interpreters are paid for the time they interpret or a minimum fee based on the distance they travel, whichever is more. Mileage is calculated using a court-approved mileage chart.
Interpreters who travel at least this far (one way) from their home base or from their previous assignment:
Are paid for at least this much time:
|0 miles
|1 hour
|25 miles

I have two toilets that were put in during the late 70's.
Both toilets seem to be leaking at the flapper and the water seems to run every minute for about 20 -30 seconds. I have replaced both flappers at least once and sometimes the problem gets worse. I can't seem to ID the problem. I would appreciate your advice.
Thank You,
Jay Bishop

In planning the interiors of the Legend Sedan and Coupe, Acura designers wanted to take advantage of the larger exterior dimensions by providing more interior space; heighten comfort and convenience through improved equipment; enhance occupant safety; achieve higher quality throughout and maximize driver-oriented ergonomics for a sporty feel.
Materials and Fit
In trimming the interior, Legend designers emphasized natural materials and careful matching. All thick-molded plastic components -- instrument panel, console edges, door ledges, steering wheel are produced by the same manufacturing method (slush moulding). Their PVC outer surfaces are uniform in color and texture.
In Sedan L models, the upholstery material is moquette. Discreetly gathered leather for seating surfaces and door-panel inserts is standard in the Coupe L, Coupe LS, Sedan LS and Sedan OS models, Leather is optional in the Sedan L model. In leather-equipped models, leather also covers the center-console armrest/compartment lid, steering wheel and shifter knob.
The burled walnut on the LS and OS models' center console and door armrests was chosen for its high quality and dependable supply.The walnut is the top layer of a complex veneer designed to achieve a three-dimensional look. Simulated wood panels are standard on Coupe and Sedan L models.
Audio Systems
The Legend Sedan L and Legend Coupe L models feature an eight-speaker, 50-watt Acura/Bose® Music System with a Bose Signal Processor (BSP) module for enhanced sound quality.
The LS models and the OS model Sedan feature an upgraded, 8-speaker, 200-watt Acura/Bose® Premium Music System which offers truly extraordinary performance. In this system, each speaker has its own built-in Bose switching amplifier module for outstanding acoustic reproduction. The Legend Sedan and Legend Coupe can be equipped with an optional (dealer-installed), trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer.
Instruments and Controls
The instrument panel presents the driver with large analog dials for the speedometer, tachometer, temperature and fuel gauges. Primary steering-column-mounted controls for lighting, wipers and washers follow an ergonomically logical arrangement. The cruise control is actuated from the steering wheel itself.
Driver's Seat and Steering Column Memory Functions
A convenient power tilt and telescopic steering column function is featured on the driver's seat adjustment memory system. The steering column automatically tilts up for ease of entry, and then adjusts, along with the 8-way power driver's seat, to one of two preset positions.
Climate Control Systems
The Legend Sedan LS and OS and the Coupe LS offer an Automatic Climate Control System with full manual override. The L-model Sedan and Coupe feature standard air conditioning. Both feature an environmentally friendly R-134a refrigerant. Both systems are engineered for quiet, efficient operation, and refined to promote quicker cool-down when the system is first activated.
Dual Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
All Legend models include driver's and front passenger's Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bags. The passenger's side air bag system has some unique features. Mounted in the top of the instrument panel's right side, it is made of the same material as the air bags in the NSX sports car.
The inflation of the passenger's air bag proceeds first upward, then rearward; once fully inflated, the bag has a volume of 150 liters/53 cu ft and is almost two feet tall, extending over part of the dashboard and windshield.
Each air bag has its own gas generator, but the two are connected in parallel and deploy simultaneously. The air bags are triggered when the SRS sensor system detects an impact speed equal to or greater in force than a 10-mph frontal barrier crash.
All electrical connectors in the SRS system are gold-plated for optimum conductivity and corrosion resistance, resulting in excellent reliability.
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners and Three-Point Seat Belts
All Legend models incorporate an innovative tensioner system on the front seat belts as part of the SRS. This system, triggered by the air bag sensors and computer, automatically takes up slack in the belts in the initial phase of an impact, helping to hold the occupants securely. All outboard 3-point belts incorporate a direct clamping mechanism as well. Each belt reel has its own deceleration sensor working with an internal cam-and-ratchet mechanism to clamp the belt near its exit from the reel, substantially limiting the "spool-out" that can occur as a loaded belt tightens on a locked reel.

Second Investigation into Cancer Related Illnesses
among National Gallery of Australia Employees
Terms of Reference
An assessment by Health Services Australia in 2002 of a cluster of cancer illnesses amongst Security staff in the National Gallery of Australia found that it was "… exceedingly unlikely that there is any occupational cancer-causing agent responsible for this cluster of illnesses".
A subsequent investigation into this, and related OH&S matters by Comcare, recommended in 2005 that "…Another expert opinion be sought on the possible association of security staff cancer illnesses with the NGA environment".
In accepting this recommendation, the Gallery has determined that the second expert opinion should extend to cover all staff of the Gallery, and not be confined just to Security staff.
Engagement of Occupational Physician
The Gallery has engaged the services of Dr Tim Driscoll (Occupational Physician) and Gary Foster (Occupational Hygienist) to provide the second expert opinion.
The Investigating Team will report to the Director through a Steering Committee comprising Gallery management and union officials and workplace representatives.
The Terms of Reference of the investigation are:
- In relation to current and former staff and volunteers, provide an opinion on the likelihood of any work-related contribution to the already identified cases of cancer and any other cases of cancer identified during the investigation. [Note: the investigation will not provide an assessment of individual cases].
- Without limiting the investigation, the project will include:
- an assessment of relevant past exposures to physical, chemical and biological hazards.
- an assessment of relevant current exposures to physical, chemical and biological hazards.
- examination of the issues raised by staff in their response to the Gallery's requests made in March 2005.
- examination of other relevant matters raised by Gallery staff during the conduct of the investigation.
- Recommend appropriate action.
The investigation is to include all staff and volunteers who have been employed by the Gallery since the Gallery opened in October 1982.
Communication processes and access to the Investigation Team
The Gallery is committed to an open and transparent process, and to ensuring that all relevant persons who want to contribute relevant information to the investigation team can do so.
To this end, a range of options will be available for current and former staff and volunteers to contribute to the investigation. In addition, the Gallery will ensure that there is a timely and open sharing of information from the investigation team and the Steering Committee. Privacy of all persons will be maintained during this process.
Details of these processes will be announced as they become available.

The Ferron Fandango was held on May 30 at the Ferron fairgrounds. There was music and vendors throughout the day. The Derryl Perry concert was held that evening at 7 p.m. The concert was also a benefit for cancer patient Dustan Hannabach. The concert raised funds for his treatment. You can still make donations to the Hannabach fund at the local Desertview Federal Credit Unions in Huntington and Ferron.
Organizers considered the event a success because of the quality of the music offered during the day and evening. The attendance wasn't as big as they would have liked, but those attending were not disappointed. The Perry band played a variety of tunes, both old and new and some original written by Derryl himself.
The organizers wanted to express their appreciation to those who took the time to attend the event and to those who helped make it possible. Karl at Pro-Sound helped with the sound system. The radio stations in Price helped promote the concert, the Forest Service workers who helped with the stage and Sid Swasey and Randy Magnuson for their donations. Organizers would also like to thank Joe Trenery, Ferron City, and Gilly's for their support.

With Julie and Julia being a surprise hit this summer, Julia Child has once again rocketed to the forefront of the national consciousness. Child is the iconic figure of popularizing haute cuisine, blazing a trail on television long before anyone dreamed up The Food Network or Top Chef, and publishing her bestselling classic, Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 1961. Her entire kitchen is now on permanent display in Washington, DC, at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
Child had a fascinating life apart from cooking. After an idyllic New England childhood, she worked for the OSS during World War II -- at 6'2", she was far too tall for the Women's Army Corps, or to be part of the Navy's WAVES. She lived all over the world, and first fell in love with French cooking while living in Paris with her husband, Paul Child. The rest, one might say, is history. Her cooking show was watched by millions, with loads of cameos in film and TV.
And her influence went even beyond cooking. Here she is demonstrating the fundamentals of abiogenesis. Not to be confused with Darwin's theory of evolution, abiogenesis refers specifically to the science behind how life on Earth may have evolved out of a primordial soup of inanimate matter. She made the educational film in 1976 for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. It's nice to see her legacy passed on to the YouTube generation.

|Meeting Description:
|Interdisciplinary Workshop on the Grammatical Word
University of California Davis
Davis, California
May 10-11 2013
A workshop to explore the concept of the GRAMMATICAL WORD from diverse theoretical perspectives, and its role in neuropsychological and computational models of morphology.
The concept of WORD is notoriously difficult to define. Besides denoting a prosodic unit (the phonological word) and a semantic unit (the lexeme), WORD is often used as a morphosyntactic unit: the grammatical word. This concept unifies concerns of inflectional morphology and morphophonology. It is the term on which paradigmatic relationships are defined. The grammatical word plays an important role in modelling storage and processing of lexical and grammatical information, in psychology and computer science as well. The linguistics department at UC Davis is organizing an interdisciplinary symposium on the grammatical word, to explore how different perspectives (theoretical and experimental) may converge in expanding our understanding of this multifaceted concept.
Invited Speakers:
Arto Anttila (Stanford U., Linguistics)
Brian Joseph (OSU, Linguistics & Slavic Lang. & Lit.)
Martha McGinnis (U. of Victoria, Linguistics)
Lee Osterhout (U. of Washington, Psychology)
Owen Rambow (Columbia U., Ctr. for Computational Learning Systems)

Drive and DineApril 21st, Meet at Jackie Cooper and be on the road by 9:30 so come early (9 to 9:30), I'll see if they will provide rolls and fruit. No gurantee.
The Drive: J.C.'s to Napoli's Italian Restaraunt in Langely Ok. Run 169 to 412, 412 to 82 (Locust Grove) on to Langely Ok. They open at 11:00 for lunch.Good food reports. Then a quick drive over Disney Dam, to a state park to look at lake. Then home. About an 1hr+20 min drive to restaraunt.
Please RSVP. I will post this on the events page here and also on smartcarofamerica.com under Chapters/Regional; Oklahoma. .
I am at your beck and call! We "Smart People" need to show that we are right and those that choose not to follow, are? Paying $$$$$ more than we are to go where we want to go and at the same time, feeling just fine!! Well that said, I am open to a fun time. I am just waiting for the "Turbo" model. Any word?
Great idea Lloyd. I'm up for that drive. It's a pretty drive too. By taking 169 we don't have to worry about toll booths like we would on the Creek Turnpike to 412.
Which weekend is better for you in April, 14th or 21st?
Hey Jill, Alex and all. How about a run from JC's to Napoli's Italian Restaraunt in Langely Ok. Run 169 to 412, 412 to 82 (Locust Grove) on to Langely Ok. They open at 11:00 for lunch.Good food reports. Then a quick drive over Disney Dam, to a state park to look at lake. Then home. About an 1+20 drive to restaraunt.
I'm thinking April 14 or 21 for our first drive. Trying to figure out where we'd go.
How long of a drive are all of you up to?
That sounds like a good idea Alex. Do you have something specific in mind? A get together there and then a drive or ??? We can approach them but need an idea of what we have in mind before we approach them.
I know I can get them to advertise it in their weekly email newsletter and provide a predrive snack but if they'd do a mass emailing to owners or even snail mail it would reach more people. I'd also like to see if we put together a flyer (or brochure) if the dealer will give them to new owners or at least set them out where people can pick them up and hopefully contact us.
I've just found out that there 6 or 7 smart owners in the Coweta area. I'm working on how to get them together with us as well.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Think we might be able to get Jackie Cooper to help host a "spring drive event" or something?
Thanks Alex. I've used them too and the result is good. Just looking for an auto for those days that I am lazy.
