Ferron City Council meeting on Aug. 23 centered around plans for the Peach Days celebration.
Mayor JoAnn Behling said she met with the canal company and the plan is to shut the water off on Sept. 1. She thanked all the Ferron water users for being very conservative with their water. The city still has 490 acre feet of water left that it won't be able to use, because the level of the reservoir is down.
The reservoir can't go any lower than 1,029 acre feet. Rocky Mountain Power and the Division of Wildlife Resources have water they may need so the reservoir needs to maintain their water. There will be farmers who have allocated water left, but they won't be able to use it.
Under the board of equalization it was approved to allow Jim Rushton's water bill to go to his renter.
The question of adjustments to garbage bills was discussed. Apparently one resident has been paying for two cans, but only has one can. The oversights became apparent when the costs of the services were broken down in the Ferron newsletter. The bills do not specify two cans, so this will be itemized on the bills so a resident can tell if they are being charged for one or two cans.
The council decided not to make a decision at this time on whether there will be any adjustments to that resident's bill. Most of the charge for garbage collection goes to the garbage company.
Mayor Behling read a thank you note from a Ferron child who was grateful the city had made a donation for his stockshow pig.
Jerry Stotler made a presentation to the city of a drip irrigation system he has installed in his garden. It saves water by only dripping at the root of the plant and doesn't water the weeds or the dirt. He built the system with PVC pipe and valves. He can adjust the flow depending on how much water each plant needs. He bought the tubing from RainBird and it's really good and doesn't plug up. His crops are really large and it has worked well. He volunteered to help anyone set-up a system. Colleen Murdoch from the Ferron Library said it would be good to have Stotler come to the library in the spring when they do their spring workshop on gardening. He agreed to come and explain the system.
The council approved a small subdivision for Wade and Angela Paskett.
The council discussed what to do with a nuisance property that needs to be cleaned up. It was determined to fine the owner of the property and to send a letter to the property owner with an itemized list of what it will cost to clean up the property. The city crews can do the work or a salvage company can be hired. The sheriff will need to go with the building inspector and have the house on the property condemned. The cost of the clean-up can be added to the taxes on the property. The owner will be notified the date of when the clean-up will take place.
The council voted to move forward with the clean-up of the property going through the necessary steps to proceed in a lawful manner including having the property condemned.
Things are moving along on schedule for Peach Days.
The council would like to look at more improvements to the rodeo grounds in the future so more events can be held there. The sound system needs to be upgraded or a new one purchased. There are several cars coming for the demolition derby. Plans for the golf tourney are in place. The free dinner on Sept. 7 will be turkey and baked potatoes as well as side dishes donated by town residents. The town is having the field of flags again with a program on Sept. 8 at 7 a.m. The council is still looking for a stage to have the talent show on at the park.
Council member Trent Jackson has been working with the I-Gov people about the new website. The cost to get it up and running would be $1,100 and a $60 a month fee. It would take approximately two months to launch the new site. The council agreed to get started on the new website as money has been budgeted for that purpose.
Council member Joe Trenery said there was a water leak at the fair grounds which they fixed.
Council member Abby Jensen said the fire department wondered if they could get some new grills for the breakfast. The council determined there are enough around they can borrow some and avoid the expense.
The mayor reported the restaurant at Millsite golf course is up and running and the city will manage it for now. The employees there will receive an hourly wage and their tips. The restaurant is called the 19th Hole Eatery. They have been working to clean the restaurant and opening day was Aug. 24 and the hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and closed Mondays.
The phone number is 384-3355. They will feature burgers, hot dogs, hot wings, salads, sandwiches and more.
The council agreed to wait to get a new building at the cemetery and work on developing the new portion with water lines and sprinkling system.
JoAnn Behling was born in Utah July 24,1934 to her parents Varian and Erma Box. She was a Pioneer day baby. This makes her birthday's seem very special to her as she always gets to celebrate it with the Utah Pioneer day activities and good friends.
She has lived most of her life in Ferron, but was born in Salt Lake City and spent some of her younger years growing up there.
She moved to Ferron, with her family as a young woman and soon met many of the kids in town, several that have become life long friends.
In Ferron, she met Dean Behling and was soon married. They traveled and lived in Colorado Springs for a short time while Dean was in the service and then back to Ferron while Dean was overseas in Korea during the war. When Dean returned home from Korea, Ferron was home and they never left.
They have three children, Cynthia (Craig) Nielsen, Kern (Conna) Behling, Blake (Ann) Behling, 11 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.
Ferron has been and will always be a special place for JoAnn, she has served in many capacities as Ferron City Clerk, Emery County Treasurer, owner and operator of the Ferron Mercantile store, and many church callings. She is presently serving as Ferron City's Mayor.
JoAnn has helped in many ways to shape and guide Ferron City and helped make it a great place to live, love, prosper, and raise a family. She loves this little town we call home.
We give honor to this year's Ferron City Peach Days Grand Marshal JoAnn Behling and a very warm and kind heart felt thank you.
Melissa Anderson has been chosen as the honored citizen of Ferron for the 2012 Peach Days Celebration.
Melissa was born Jan. 13, 1966 to Maurice and Sweetie Anderson in Moab. Shortly after birth, her wonderful loving parents were informed that she had a birth defect called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Cogenita. A defect that occurs when the muscles of the baby do not fully develop while still inside the womb.
Because of the extent of her birth defect, the doctors told her parents that she would never be able to walk. They forgot to tell Melissa. With determination, perseverance, multiple corrective surgeries, a touch of the Anderson stubbornness, and the aid of long-leg braces, she proved them wrong.
Melissa keeps herself active with community involvement and numerous hobbies. For many years, she has been helping out in Vicki Nielsen's fifth grade class at Ferron Elementary School. She helps with reading skills and anything else Nielsen needs done. She always looks forward to the end of the year field trip where she has fun helping look after the students, and they, in turn, have fun helping her get around. She truly loves every student, and they love her.
She loves listening to all kinds of music, working on her computer, playing various games on her phone, and visiting with others. Some of her other hobbies include ceramics, calligraphy, scrapbooking, rubber-stamping and embossing to make beautiful and unique greeting cards, and award winning cross stitching.
She also keeps busy with her church activities such as going to the temple, visiting teaching, and doing family search indexing. Melissa enjoys helping other people and has been known to do this on the spur of the moment, like the time she helped with making wedding invitations for a friend that needed to be mailed the same day.
Over the years, her enthusiasm for life has developed friendships that will last forever. She enjoys going to visit her "adopted" family in Rock Springs, Wyo. No one is sure of who adopted whom, but she sure is glad she has this extended family and loves them very much. She especially loves spending time with her Rock Springs nieces and nephews; Ter Ter, J.J., Ryker, Hunter, Kalan, Shaddix, Braquel, Lil' Shaun, Micah, Libby, Lexy, Gatlan, and their parents; Chris and Dawn Maria, Jon and Tiff, Paul and Sher, Shaun and Paola and Preston, and always makes a point to take them something fun.
Melissa wants to express her appreciation to all of her many friends and family who have helped her throughout the years. She says "I couldn't do it without their support and help, they are all awesome."
When you see Melissa out cruising around in her chair or on her daily 1 1/2 mile walk, give her a wave. You will always get a wave and a smile in return.

For Gopnik's purposes the idea of winter was really invented in northern Europe, between the years 1550 and 1850, when a long cooling of the Earth eventually coincided with the abundance of coal. Brueghel was its first serious propagandist. In the early part of this period, as harsher winters became a reality, and native forests were savaged to provide fuel for a growing population, winter was a time of great expense for the rich, and great misery for the poor.
"Peak wood", as Gopnik nicely imagines it, occurred in Britain in the early part of the 18th century, when "the entire island was being deforested and fuel-wood prices rose 10 times in the span of 80 years". It was not until the advent of industrial-scale coal mining that prices fell and winter hardship, at least for the middle classes, eased.
While Dr Johnson routinely referred to winter days as "this bleak prospect", the poet William Cowper could write to a friend in 1785 that "there is hardly to be found upon the Earth so snug a creature as an Englishman by his fireside in winter". As Gopnik establishes, this sentiment was not only something that had rarely been expressed before, it had seldom been felt before.

City and county officials, as well as the public, came out to honor two fallen heroes of Wilson County.
Two wreaths were laid at the Jerry A. Mundy Memorial at Charlie Daniels Park to honor the 10th anniversary of Sergeant Jerry A. Mundy and Deputy John Musice losing their lives in the line of duty.
"That was probably one of the most sad days in this county," said Sheriff Robert Bryan. "They are gone but definitely not forgotten.
Mayor Ed Hagerty remembered Mundy as a fighter for what was right, often pushing Hagerty during budget time to improve the police department. He said that he pushed to get better police cars, and increased pay.
"He said 'leave me out of it, you need to pay the patrolmen more," said Hagerty.
Hagerty said he was right, and would always fight for what was right in the department.
"We need to lift up our police officers and show our appreciation for them," said Hagerty.
Mundy and Musice were killed while trying to place stop sticks near exit 226 on I-40 on July 9, 2003. Two females had led police on a chase through eastern Tennessee. The driver of the car, Fallon Tallent, was convicted on two counts of first degree murder and received two life sentences.

Pacific Blue ends 2009 on high note with 96.5% domestic On-Time Performance for December14/01/2010
Thursday 14 January 2010: Pacific Blue finished 2009 with one of its best ever on-time performance results, with 96.5% of domestic flights departing on time during December.
Pacific Blue CEO, Mark Pitt, said the figure was a very positive result during one of the airline's busiest times of the year.
"The holiday season is always hectic with many full flights, so it's great to be reporting an on-time performance result for December that exceeds 96%."
The airline said it had achieved an average monthly domestic on-time performance result of 92.3% during 2009.
"For 11 of the 12 months the airline achieved domestic on-time performance of 90% or higher," Mr Pitt added.
Pacific Blue was the first New Zealand domestic airline to publicly report its on-time performance figures and has been publishing the data regularly on its website since July 2009, with data going back to January 2009.
On-time is counted as flights that depart within 15 minutes of their scheduled departure time. Pacific Blue makes no exceptions for bad weather, air traffic control, delays from suppliers, unscheduled maintenance, consequences of previous delays or anything else.
Pacific Blue's domestic on-time performance is easily found on its website at www.flypacificblue.com via the "Flight Info" menu button.

Man, I appreciate an interesting back story and such, but I was so pumped with expectation from Ichigo and Kenpachi last chapter that I couldn't help but feel a little let down. Sob!
Anyway, hope this redeems choujirou from those who called him useless. He was actually a rather decent guy. Ichigo just make almost every sub-captain (and even some captains) level fighters look weak.
Anyway, I'll forgive Kubo, and all will be right with the world again, if next chapter he focuses on Ichigo busting out of Jail (What are the chances...).

Makes my foot look small
"With the rounded toe my toes aren't squished. One pair at the store had a weird knot where the stitching on the footpad poked my foot but I found a pair without the odd knot. Very soft interior and great fake leather -- it's so soft I wasn't sure but I haven't scuffed it yet so it's certainly more durable than real soft leather."

Immunization requirements for school entry in Utah now include the hepatitis A and chickenpox vaccines. Beginning July 1, two doses of the hepatitis A vaccine and one dose of the chickenpox vaccine will be required for all kindergartners to protect children against preventable diseases.
The Utah Department of Health adopted these changes into school law after receiving the latest recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the Utah Scientific Vaccine Advisory Committee. "As new and improved vaccines are licensed, we must continue to implement strategies that will reduce the diseases these vaccines can prevent," says Linda Abel, Immunization Program Manager, Utah Department of Health.
The ACIP recommends routine hepatitis A vaccination for children living in communities with high rates of hepatitis A. Based on a ten-year average from 1987-1997, Utah was identified as one of 11 high-risk states in the U.S. where hepatitis A rates are nearly two times the national average (10 cases per 100,000 population). Children 5-14 years are more likely to get hepatitis A and nearly one-third of all reported cases occur among children under 15. Despite the approval of the vaccine in 1995, hepatitis A continues to be one of the most frequently reported vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S.
Hepatitis A infection is spread by either person-to-person contact or by eating and drinking contaminated food or water. The most common symptoms include sudden onset of fever, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Most infections among children less than 6 years of age do not have symptoms � therefore making transmission easier.
Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral disease that spreads by direct contact with the lesions of an infected person or through respiratory secretions from coughing and sneezing. Symptoms include fever, itching and a generalized rash of 250-500 lesions. Before chickenpox vaccine was available, the disease was responsible for an estimated 4 million cases, 11,000 hospitalizations, and 100 deaths each year in the United States (CDC, unpublished data, 1999). Approximately 90 percent of cases occur in children. A vaccine was licensed in the United States in 1995, and the ACIP issued recommendations for prevention of varicella in July 1996.
Because chickenpox occurs more often among children aged 1-6 years, the ACIP recommends that all states require children entering elementary schools either receive the chickenpox vaccine or have other evidence of immunity to chickenpox. Utah law allows parents to sign the child's immunization record documenting the child has previously had the chickenpox disease and does not need the vaccine. This type of parental verification applies only to the chickenpox vaccine.
Other school entry requirements include: Five doses of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (DTaP); four doses of Polio; two doses of Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR); and three doses of Hepatitis B.
The UDOH also revised the school rule dealing with exemptions. Medical, religious, and personal exemptions to immunizations may be claimed. However, the appropriate UDOH exemption form must now accompany each exemption claimed. The personal and religious exemption forms are available at all local health departments. The medical exemption form is available to physicians through the Utah Immunization Program.
Although disease levels are at all-time lows and immunization levels are higher than ever before, the potential for outbreaks still exists. For more information about immunizations, call the Utah Immunization Hotline at 1-800-275-0659.

Huma Abedin was featured in Anthony Weiner's campaign video, now she's helping her husband raise money for his New York City mayoral campaign.
Politico was first to report the "Women for Anthony" fundraiser, being held next week in Manhattan.
Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after admitting he sent lewd photos of himself to women via Twitter. He is attempting a political comeback, seeking the mayor's job he has long coveted.
Abedin is a former top aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, going back to the former secretary of State's days in the U.S. Senate. The host committee for the fundraiser includes Cheryl Saban, whose husband, Haim Saban, is a longtime Clinton supporter, and philanthropist Elaine Schuster, another Clinton backer.
Other members of the host committee include designer Reem Acra and Almond Zigmund, Weiner's sister-in-law.

Don't leave early at the Lane
Our tipster Andy Schooler previews Sunday's two Premier League games with a late goal at White Hart Lane his fancy.
- Related Content
Tottenham v Swansea (1330 GMT)
You've probably heard this week the statistic about how Spurs would be top of the league if games had ended after 80 minutes. While clearly meaningless in terms of a big picture, what it does show is that there could well be some value in markets regarding late goals. Closer inspection shows a goal in the last 15 minutes could well be worth backing. Spurs have conceded 13 times in that period in 24 games this season, with home points subsequently dropped against Norwich and West Brom. The hosts, who admittedly could have Scott Parker back for this one though he's sure to be rusty, have also scored eight goals in the study period, while Swansea have bagged 11 themselves. Both sides' last three matches have featured a goal after 75 minutes. An added bonus for this contest is that the Swans, for whom Michu continues to score on a regular basis, were involved in midweek action, beating Middlesbrough (with a late goal) in the Capital One Cup so there's every chance legs will be wearier than they might be come the closing stages. Spurs have plenty of goal threat, including the pacy Jermain Defoe, and could well capitalise. Paddy Power's 10/11 about either side scoring in the final 15 minutes seems more than fair - it's 11/20 in places - so a small play is advised.
Verdict: Tottenham 3 Swansea 2
West Brom v West Ham (1600)
Backing the Baggies was en vogue a month ago and this site profited from their success more than once. However, after three defeats on the spin backing them around the even-money mark now does not look good business. They've scored just one goal in that period, one which many had predicted would come after such an unexpectedly good start. However, West Ham don't look in the best shape to capitalise on the hosts' poor form. Sam Allardyce's men did beat Chelsea a couple of weeks ago but failed to build on that at home to Liverpool last weekend. That game saw them pick up more injury problems with Mohamed Diame now facing a long spell out. George McCartney is also a major doubt for this one, the pair joining a long list of injury absentees which includes Andy Carroll, Yossi Benayoun and Jack Collison. The Hammers have only managed five goals in seven away games thus far and with resources depleted further now, I'm not prepared to side with them at 3/1.
Verdict: West Brom 0 West Ham 0

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
Our head-scratching criminal justice system
This week, former aide to then-Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, Tim Russell was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing $21,000 from a veterans organization, Operation Freedom, and taken into custody.
Russell deserved being punished. What he did was reprehensible.
The prosecution recommended the judge sentence Russell to two years. Russell got two years.
The judge in the case…
Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge Michael Hansher (Above photos: jsonline.com)
Follow along with me, please. "But he said the scale of the theft, the more than 200 acts of deception over three years, and the abuse of his trust position demanded a prison term."
A few weeks ago, Hansher was the judge in the case of Brian Mularski, a former lawyer from Bayside who stole more than $737,000 from his law firm.
Remember Tim Russell's theft? $21,000. What did the prosecution recommend for Russell? Two years in prison and Hansher concurred.
The Journal Sentinel reported on the Mularski case earlier this month:
"Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Hansher ignored a prosecutor's recommendation of two years' confinement and instead ordered Mularski, 37, to spend a year in local jail with generous work release privileges, as a condition of five years' probation. He also imposed and stayed a five-year prison sentence, which Mularski would face if he fails to meet conditions, or commits another crime."
Mularski made a hefty restitution. That apparently was enough for Hansher to slap the wrist.
The Journal Sentinel further reported:
"Assistant District Attorney David Feiss agreed that Mularski brought positives to the sentencing, such as no prior criminal record, acceptance of responsibility, solid family relationships, membership in the Wisconsin National Guard and continued employment.
Hansher didn't see it that way.
Liberals argue that sentencing decisions like the one pertaining to Mularski make the system appear biased in favor of the white defendants with deep pockets. It's tough to dispute thier claim when Hansher makes an absurd, inconsistent ruling as he did in the Mularski case.
Follow along with me, please.
"But he said the scale of the theft, the more than 200 acts of deception over three years, and the abuse of his trust position demanded a prison term."

Toulouse booked their passage into the Top 14 semi-finals where they will face Toulon after defeating Racing-Metro 33-19 on Friday.
Toulouse booked their passage into the Top 14 semi-finals where they will face Toulon after defeating Racing-Metro 33-19 at Stadium de Toulouse.
The champions will tackle this year's Heineken Cup finalists in two weeks in Nantes after Luke McAlister's 23-point haul led them to the last four.
McAlister opened the scoring in the third minute before Jonathan Wisniewski levelled moments later off the tee on a perfect surface for rugby.
Racing then jumped ahead when lock Patricio Albacete was penalised by referee Jérôme Garces in a high-paced opening to the action.
Toulouse though were beginning to gain the ascendancy and a lovely passage put them back in front when expansive rugby led to veteran Yannick Jauzion hitting a good line off McAlister before offloading to his centre partner Gael Fickou. McAlister missed the conversion.
By the 23rd minute, Guy Noves' charges were holding 69 percent of the possession and extended their advantage off the tee via number ten McAlister before the half-hour mark.
However, the Parisians hit back with interest in the 36th minute when the dangerous Sereli Bobo sparked a breakout from halfway. His ability to hold defences with the ball in one hand saw him create space for Masinivanua Matadigo, who dummied and raced over from 30 out.
That was not to be the half-time score though as Jean Marc Doussain's rather deliberate pass into an offside Francois van der Merwe led to McAlister knocking over three points from 35 metres out. Were the champions on their way to yet another domestic semi-final?
Another penalty success by McAlister just after the resumption pushed Toulouse further in front for 17-11 which soon became 24-11 when number eight Louis Picamoles, who had been a pre-match injury doubt, was supported over the try-line in a well-orchestrated move.
Racing cut the deficit soon after with their second try, scored by centre Henry Chavancy.
McAlister and Wisniewski exchanged penalties as Toulouse went into a 27-19 lead before 33-year-old Jauzion was replaced, the veteran centre leaving to a standing ovation.
Two more penalties from McAlister in front of 30,000 fans put Toulouse in complete control at 33-19 to set-up a mouth-watering semi-final clash against Toulon on May 24. The two sides met in the 2012 final at the Stade de France with Toulouse winning 18-12.
The scorers:
For Toulouse:
Tries: Fickou, Picamoles
Con: McAlister
Pen: McAlister 7
For Racing Metro:
Tries: Matadigo, Chavancy
Pen: Wisniewski 3
Stade Toulousain: 15 Clement Poitrenaud, 14 Yoann Huget, 13 Yannick Jauzion, 12 Gael Fickou, 11 Maxime Medard, 10 Luke McAlister, 9 Jean Marc Doussain, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Thierry Dusautoir, 6 Jean Bouilhou, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Yoann Maestri, 3 Census Johnston, 2 William Servat, 1 Vasil Kakovin.

Amazing! I wish I had been there to hear it, even though I'm not a teen (I look like one, but I am NOT!) it still sounds like amazing advice for any writer.
I especially connected with the part where you mentioned finding time/space to write and guarding it fiercely. I am always fending off hubbies and babies and pesky "other" commmittments in order to meet my daily writing quota.
Unfortunately, they usually win.
I think it must be selfish or something, but sometimes I wish my kids went to school, so I could have a few hours of SILENCE to write.
Do your kids go to school? How do you manage to find time to write, let alone write as much as you do!

My daughter is in school and my son has preschool for a few hours a week. I use his preschool time and then in the evenings I try to write. If I *really* need to get things done, I "go to the library," AKA tell my son I am leaving in the evening, go downstairs, slam the door to the garage, and then sit in my office down there until I've done everything I need to for the day.
Uh, keep in mind I only do this when my husband is home. I don't trick my son that I've left the house when no one else is here.
Fact of the matter is, if you want to write you are going to have to sacrifice something, somewhere. When I first got serious about writing, I gave up sleeping during my kids' naptime. Now I give up having a social life (HEY FRIENDS, REMEMBER ME???) and free time in the evenings. I also don't watch TV.

While I absolutely pictured you at 5-7 giving that talk while I read the slides, I have to say, the slides by themselves were pretty dang fantastic. I'm also not a teen writer - that was way too long ago - but I think your advice could really apply to anyone starting out. If the talk is anything like the personality in those slides, this blog, and in your books (I'm sure it is), I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to hear it.
Hey, next time you should record it and put it on YouTube. :)

This is great, Kirsten. Everything you write seems to be.
The thing I had to learn is some of these things will come naturally, and some won't. I, for instance, am not naturally observant. Other aspects of writing came to me with a small amount of effort, but this one took a serious amount of focus and work. Anything is possible, it's just not guaranteed to be easy.
My mantra has always been that sacrifice proves priorities. If you want writing to be a big deal in your life, you need let some lesser things die on the altar for its sake. The hard part is remembering what's even more important than writing. Occasionally, writing must go on the chopping block for the sake of those bigger things.

Thank you Kierstan. This was awesome and characteristically hilarious. I know just what you mean about sacrifice. I'm a SAHM and at least 5 nights a week, I feed the kids, hand them off at the door to my husband and head out to write for three hours. We barely see each other, but I did a draft and 2 rewrites in 6 months and I'm getting ready to query. I missed out on stuff (I'm so behind on Glee and Fringe) but I wrote a book! We treat my writing time like a job and I'm lucky my husband is so supportive.

Great advice for writers of any stage in their careers!
I'm mostly able to get my writing done during the day and have time for household chores and personal grooming (but there are those days where my husband calls to say he's leaving work and I say, "It's 5 already? I guess I'd better get dressed. And make dinner. And shower. Not necessarily in that order.").
But when I'm really into writing or rewriting a section, everything falls by the wayside. My poor husband gets shut out of the office, and if he opens the door to ask me a question, he finds a dragon. He's learned to wait until my breaks.
P.S. I saw that you like comments on chocolate, and I started to type, "Chocolate rocks!" But that made me think of those brown things my cat buries in my garden, and then I went "ewwww". So I'll stick to something more palatable, like "Chocolate is yummy."

What I worry about is spending so much of my spare non-day-job-related-time writing that there is no time left for LIVING. Thanks for the reminder that writers should EXPERIENCE a rich life and not just write about it (minus the taser, of coure ;]).

Just for the record, I still remember your quote from the conference: "All good writers start as good readers."
Do you feel important now?
- May 7, 2011 at 11:04 AM
Wow. The "Kiersten's Guide to Realer Writing" made me happy. :) I will be sure to use all the skills mentioned to make my writing better! Maybe then I'll give you a little sneak peek of what I've written :)

"The pharmacy told me that the drug my doctor prescribed is covered under my plan but the plan won't authorize it until I try another drug first."
When your health insurance plan requires approval for certain medical services or treatments before the services or treatments are rendered, this is called prior authorization. Prior authorization requirement will vary from plan to plan.
Step therapy is a requirement that less costly and less risky treatment alternatives be explored and deemed unsuitable before more uncertain or expensive therapies are approved.
Insurance companies use benefit management as a way to ensure that the prescribed treatment is medically necessary. In other words, the insurance company does not want to pay for a medical procedure that is not really needed.
Through prior authorization and step therapy, your insurance company can learn more about your health condition and why the treatment is needed before they decide whether to cover or pay for it.
Because each insurance company has a unique prior authorization process and step therapy process, the only way to know if your insurance company requires approval for a particular treatment beforehand is to call and ask. Get started now

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Heading to the police stationhouse to drop off those unwanted prescription medications may take a few minutes out of your day, but that time spent may well end up saving a life.
On Saturday, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration will sponsor a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, its sixth so far, in hopes that people on Staten Island and across the country will properly dispose of unwanted medications before they might fall into the wrong hands.
"If we can keep the 10-year-olds or the 12-year-olds or the 14-year-olds from trying it for the first time ... the opportunity would be huge," said Brian R. Crowell, the special agent in charge of the DEA's New York division.
"It's just another opportunity to get the word out to the parents, to the coaches, to the teachers, to the grandparents," he said.
Authorities will be collecting unwanted medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at six spots across the Island -- the NYPD's 120th, 122nd and 123rd Precinct headquarters, as well as at Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton, and both the Ocean Breeze and Prince's Bay campuses of Staten Island University Hospital.
Officials don't recommend Islanders toss their unwanted pills in the trash, and they warn against flushing pills, since medications can affect the region's water supply.
During the most recent take-back event, on Oct. 5 last year, the DEA collected 189.9 pounds of prescription drugs on Staten Island, a drop from the record 407-pound haul from an event last May.
Crowell said he hopes to see a jump in the numbers this Saturday, since officials also plan to collect medications at long-term health care facilities leading up to the event.
As before, the drugs will go to an undisclosed "waste-to-energy" plant in the area, Crowell said.
The Island's Tackling Youth Substance Abuse (TYSA) initiative -- a public-private partnership that launched last year and is aimed at stemming the borough's prescription drug abuse epidemic -- is also working to promote Saturday's take-back event.

Spro Mike McClelland McStick 110
Designed by BASS Elite Pro Mike McClelland, the Spro Mike McClelland McStick Jerkbait was made for the tournament angler. Boasting an incredibly life-like, durable finish, complete with etched scales and gill plates, the Spro McStick is also equipped with three (3) sticky sharp Gamakatsu #5 Treble Hooks for more positive hookups. McClelland and Spro spent countless hours designing and tweaking the Spro McStick to provide the best action possible and no detail was overlooked. Featuring a tight shad wiggle, even the way the bait suspends in the water with its nose down is unlike other stick baits on the market - allowing for a lot more head first strikes and better hookups. Available in a variety of proven colors, the Spro Mike McClelland McStick Jerkbait is designed to suspend at lower water temperatures for those finicky early and late season fish, and it is a bait that is very easy to adjust for those aggressive warmer season fish.

Comments: Killer lures! I have two of each in a lot of these colors but have done well with Old Glory & Chrome Shad. The Clown produced a very nice 4.5 lb bass for me as well & to this day is the most violent LMB that I've caught. I have fished these in mainly medium sized, clear-water lakes & have had luck using 12lb fluorocarbon. Worth the cash!
From: Joey: Lake Villa, IL 8/19/16
Comments: I catch green and brown bass with the 110 and even though I'm not a walleye kind of guy I still get a fair number of them with this while casting for my favorites. The hooks are, to beat the term to death, very sticky. I have several colors but for me Spooky Shad spanks 'em. I do wish they were like 5"+ as pike strike them at the head and they end of becoming a pricy lip piercing compliments of me.
From: Rondo: MN 3/28/15
Comments: Their somewhat minimal action really shines in cold water. The "Table Rock" colors work well. A favorite winter JerkBait.
From: Outcast: CA 11/18/14
Comments: Got this bad boy a few days ago and spent a good 6 hours throwing it today. Great bait great action but if I had to rate it I would give it a 4 out of 5. I live in northern New Jersey which isn't known for big fish but we do have a lot of grass. I caught about a dozen or so fish on it and the paint seems to be chippin off (old glory). There wasn't rock where I was so the little teeth the bass do have chip it up pretty quick. But I'll keep using and keep buying defiantly.
From: Joe: Northern, NJ 5/7/14
Comments: Great springtime bait for me and one of three baits I'll have tied on for schooling smallmouth. I do swap the front hook with another one size up.
From: John: NY
Comments: It's a great Jerkbait but I wish SPRO reduced the number of hooks to two, three hooks opens up too many opportunities for a self hooking, i'll stick with the Pointer 100s for now.
From: Greg: NY
Comments: Blue Bandit and Cell Mate have worked well for me catching smallmouth. I have had issues with a few of these floating instead of suspending. No need to change out the stock hooks either, they are SHARP! Otherwise, I like them and they catch fish!
From: Keegan: IA
Comments: Guys, if you want this thing to fall slowly, ONLY remove the front #5 and replace with a #4 hook!! Then check it in a bucket of water. Each one floats a bit different. One of my lures the #4 hook causes the lure to sink slowly. On another I tested, I added the #4 hook, PLUS one #3 split ring to either the front or the middle. Best to place split ring on front IMO. These lures obviously work well, Mike M. has won a lot of money on this beast.
From: JW: Austin, TX
Comments: Disappointed in the quality/workmanship of this product. Very first day I threw one, the paint/skin flaked off leaving a large silver/bare spot on one side of the jerkbait. Was not targeting the bank so did not hit anything hard like rocks or boatdock. Now, I'm stuck with a $11.49 bait I'll probably not use again. Did not catch anything on it either but lost my confidence in it after the skin was gone. Think twice before spending your money on these.
From: Rollie: Knoxville, TN USA
Comments: Hey Gleb, try changing out the hooks and/or split rings to a larger size and see if that works...
From: Elijah: Mystic, CT
Comments: Caught five nice smallmouth with one last saturday at Dale Hollow. You have to jerk it harder than a Pointer to get a real erratic action. My wrist was killing me but when you catch 4 lb smallies its worth it.
From: Jon: Louisville ky U.S.
Comments: I've had limited success with these. I own 6 of them and 3 of them do suspend what-so-ever. They slow float right back to surface, even with fluorocarbon line. Table Rock shad worked well for me on Ouachita, so I went and bought a few more colors, and that's when my luck with these stopped.
From: Gleb: IN
Comments: The 110 in Wicked Perch is a great Spring jerkbait for hungry smallmouth. Rip it and keep it moving. Erratic is key. Use P-Line Fluorocarbon and get the suspended 'nose-down' position for a secret killer!
From: Daniel: Spokane, WA
Comments: I used this bait in kansas, its great on bass, I caught good size fish off these, These are made to catch fish. I don't know about smaller one but these work! God bless you with best fishing.
From: Alex: Kansas
Comments: i fished a 110 old glory to day in stained water and killed it. love these baits.
From: errrr!: San Diego
Comments: I just love these baits! the have awesome action and are just an awesome jerkbait, i got the 110 size in cell mate and have just been killing the bass over here like crazy, put an order in for 4 more, thanks spro for an awesome bait!
From: Matt: IL
Comments: By far the best jerkbaits on the water and for the money not bad at all. These baits sit there with nose pointed down a little just how it should be. Outperform my lucky crafts. Am looking at getting 2 more this weekend
From: Jeremy: Glenpool, OK
Comments: kills on lake seminole suspends perfect around 10 to 12 foot (95 model) its amazing this and the rapala husky jerk
Comments: Agree with Jamal, I have much more confidence in this bait than a pointer 100. It gets through brush well and has great action. But when there's money on the line, I'll have a vision 110 (or 3) tied on.
From: Kyle: Omaha, NE
Comments: Probably the nicest jerkbait in the price range! I have more confidence in this bait than the pointer 100. Save yourself some money and try one or two out, Still not the best jerk out there though gotta love the vision 110
From: Jamal: Wichita, KS
Comments: My go too jerkbait. Awesome action, awesome colors and spro has AWESOME customer service. Had a few of their first models that came out and some of them that leaked, filled with water and sank. Sent them back and they replaced the McStick plus gave me 2 more free at no charge. Can't beat these lures and Spro itself. Highly recommend these especially if you fish deep clear lakes.
From: Brett: St. Louis, MO
Comments: i agree hands down one bad mamma jamma 120 bass in one day.color you have to figure thaqt out lol
From: Kenny: Chesterfield, VA
Comments: The best jerkbait I have ever fished. Pick up old glory color and slam big bass in murky water.

15 Toughest Interview Questions (and Answers!)
Tania Khadder | GovCentral
"I work too hard," or for the comedian, "Blondes."
This question is a great opportunity to put a positive spin on something negative, but you don't want your answer to be cliché – joking or not. Instead, try to use a real example of a weakness you have learned to overcome.
Good answer:
"I've never been very comfortable with public speaking – which as you know, can be a hindrance in the workplace. Realizing this was a problem, I asked my previous employer if I could enroll in a speech workshop. He said "yes." I took the class, and was able to overcome my lifelong fear. Since then, I've given lots of presentations to audiences of over a 100 high level executives – I still don't love it, but no one else can tell!"

By PAULA WELLNITZOrangeville
For years I have been writing letters to countries all around the world to urge them to discontinue torturing and abusing prisoners. I also urge them to investigate in particular cases whether it is true and find whomever is responsible to bring them to justice. That investigation and bringing to justice, I indicate, should be aware and may well have organization the accused are members of.
Sadly, I never thought I would have to write such letters to members of our government.
Early on in the U.S. push against terrorists, probably about the time we went into Afghanistan and began to bring prisoners to Guantanamo Bay, there was a news report from some officials as to what we would consider torture. It declared physical abuse as the only thing that would be considered such. It said that any type of psychological action on the persons, secret arrest, or things like holding without charge, not allowing family and friends to know where the person was or to visit, no contact with the person's preferred legal counsel are not torture. Therefore we would use these actions.
A couple things for all to think about. How would I feel and what would I do in such a situation, especially when innocent? Another is that, whether innocent or not, this is against our principles expressed in the Constitution about human beings and the law. It doesn't show that we believe in these principles.
Then came the pictures and reports of physical abuse of prisoners. Here, as in countries I have been writing to, those who actually did the physical abuse, at least in some cases, were held responsible. Those that were (are) in higher positions of authority are barely censured, if at all. They, in the same way they subtly indicated that torture should take place or find other ways around having persons abuse, continue to use these evasive means to protect themselves from trial.
As with leaders of other countries, I must "call a spade a spade" and tell our leaders that I do not believe this is how I expect Americans will act. Neither do people from other countries expect it. They lose respect for us.
When my leaders act to approve the torture and abuse of any kind, it is done in my name, since they are elected by the people to carry out the functions of government. So, if our leaders accept the performance of abuse, in any form, in any way, directly or through other countries, it is up to me and all others who recognize it to let these leaders know that we do not want it to happen. We care about people and this caring is what is behind the statements of the Constitution.
Ultimately, the use of abuse and torture is counterproductive. No bit of information, true or not, about someone else's wrong doing is worth demeaning ourselves. It engenders violence on the part of others at all levels. It creates a lack of trust in and among our own people and those we have considered friendly nations as well. In other words, it creates insecurity.

It is commonly remarked that 'all that glitters is not gold', while that may be true for plenty of things around but it's certainly not true for the old books. In fact, the value of old things have really gone high these days and one gets good returns on it too. Infibeam, a very popular e-commerce website has recently come up with this same concept of 'Old is Gold' Offer. If there are used books lying around in your cupboards and drawers gathering dust and you've no clue how to get rid of them then consider giving it away to infibeam.com and get good amount of discount in return.
'Old is Gold Offer' is specially meant for all the book lovers who wish to read new and latest books but at the same time also wish to get rid of their old books that are gathering dust. Under this unique offer the buyer can buy books worth Rs. 1000 and more and avail discount of 10% straight away. The customer gets further 15% discount by sending across their old books that are in good condition back to Infibeam.
The whole idea behind getting these old and used books from the people is to share and distribute these amongst the needy students and under-privileged readers. There are people who do not have access to the education, good books or reading materials. Infibeam realizes its corporate social responsibility and is helping the NGO's and lesser privileged schools for expanding their collection of books. Books are the primary source of knowledge for all and with its rising costs, it is increasingly difficult for all to buy the new ones from the market.
This little initiative started by Infibeam is for bettering the future of the younger generation. It is for emphasizing that Knowledge is free and everyone has a right to get it. In words of Rabindranath Tagore, "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high, where knowledge is free…Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."

Hi! This is my first flash shoot-em-up game! I wanted to code a game that was easy to play, fun to look at, and also be challenging. I'd be very impressed if someone can play the game through without using any continues. Some of the levels can be kind of wacked out, but that's the spirit of the game. Nothing too complicated, just move the mouse around, avoid being hit and shoot everything. I hope you peeps enjoy the game! :)

I have a two month old X220 with SSD i7, and to my shock, the laptop 2 days ago after the lid was closed in the bag and I pulled it out, there was only a flsh of light and the figerprint sensor that turn on but nothing boots up on the screen. After leaving it on the power adapter for an hour it booted up fine. But the unexpected happened today and the latptop no longer even boots up or lights up anyore. Completely dead!!
The main question I have is did anyone experience the same and what was done to fix this? But more importantly to Lenovo what kind of image and reputation are you building for yourself in trying to produce such laptops with such incredible fault that seems to be a major hardware issue for the most expensive lineup of your Thinkpads??

Model Number: 4287-3HG. i took it to the service center on April 23rd and they decided to order a new motherboard, which until today has not arrived, so three weeks without a replaced motherboard....
This is why this is a Lenovo and not an IBM, because it is a piece of junk and I can't believe these issues can be produced....

The Drovers were unable to top the high-ranked Bison, despite tough efforts by both teams.
It seems that the Drovers may have been pacing themselves all season but held nothing back Saturday night against Oklahoma Baptist, keeping both games close until near the end.
The Lady Drovers held No. 4 Bison on their first two possessions and stayed within two scores for the first 30 minutes of the game. The nine-point win over USAO was OBU's biggest lead of the night.
While the Drovers continued to have a low shooting percentage, maintaining and gaining possession of the ball gave them a lot of opportunities to shoot.
Graduating Senior Charitie Lewis had her ninth double double of the season in her last game as a Drover. She had 14 rebounds and 16 points, shooting 50 percent from the field. Krista Beaty had 12 points for USAO.
The Lady Drovers were defeated 57-48. They end the season with an overall record of 6-24 and 4-17 in conference play.
The Drover men also played it close against No. 3 Oklahoma Baptist, leading the Bison almost the entire first half. The second half proved less fruitful for USAO, as the team scored only 29 points in the last 20 minutes of play.
Senior N'Faly Berete had his first double double of the season also in his final game at USAO. He had 12 points and 12 rebounds in the 28 minutes he played. Junior Fred Savoie had 17 points.
Fouls kept the game long, as USAO attempted a lot of free throws, shooting from the line 24 times and hitting 66.7 percent of those shots.
OBU won the game 85-66. The Drovers fall to 5-22 overall and 3-19 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.

The flat was like it is showed in the pictures, very confortable and had the basic things you need for your stay. It is also close to a very beautiful cala.
To have a car is a must, since it is located in a little town outside of porto Cristo.
We found some welcoming orange juice, water and cookies, which I found nice and was very much appreciated.
We had an issue with the Wlan, I called the company and they tried to fix it as soon as possible.
After paying the sum announced in the ad on Wimdu, we got an e-mail where we found out that the host is a company called Interhome - to find that information in the ad, you have to click "Further information" under "Terms for cancellation"... not very obvious. The e-mail informed us that to get further information about how to find the apartment, we had to pay a 300€ deposit with our VISA. The mail also informed us the we were obliged to pay another 57€ (19€/person) for final cleaning. To do the cleaning ourselves, wasn't an option. Still we got a list with things we had to do by ourselves before leaving. On our arrival we, in fact, found that the apartment wasn't very well cleaned. For example, there was a big yellow stain on the mattress cover, and our feet got dirty from walking on the floor. The balcony wasn't swept at all. We'll never book through Interhome again.
The appartment is a bit old fashion.
We were 7 persons staying for 6 nights in the appartment and had a very nice stay. The apartment is in a superb location just outside the very central and "commercial" part of wonderful Prague, but still within short walking distance of almost everything. Nice accomodation, furniture. Recommendable.
Wonderful apartment, easy to check in and check out. Great views. Wanted to stay longer but had other bookings. Easy to park. Groceries pretty expensive though and beware of strict refuse disposal that requires special plastic bag (can be bought at landlord office) but not an issue as the whole experience was simply great.
The house was over our expectations. The area was nice and quit, the pool was clean and a good size for all our children (aged 8-17). Very spacius parkinglot and nice and clean house, with all we could wish for fore.
We spend most of the evening in the house, cooking our dinner and sar out under the shadowed balcony.
Renting through interhome was also very easy and they were very helpfull at the office with any questions, we could have.
Certainly not the last time, we would go for this house.
Thank you.
The appartment was amazingly beautiful and perfectly clean. The landlords are the loveliest couple you can imagine and they were also really helfull. Thanks a million!
Our stay there was nice. We had a great time. The Charles' Bridge is very near and the castle too. We didn't need any public transport. The place is busy but the windows are at the back and it was quiet. The flat is dark and the stairs are hard to climb with luggage. But our host brought them for us. Thanks.
The Positano Elegant Terrace was just that. We loved this place. We would love to live here! Everyone was so helpful with picking us up at the train and on the way on to Venice they drove us in to Naples to catch the train. This was our favorite place in the three weeks we stayed in Italy. It was heaven and the perfect honeymoon spot. Will definitely want to stay in one of their places again.
Awful! This apartment is managed by Interhome agency, and there is one surprise provided by them - cleaning fee. Then you are choosing a room you do not see any mentions about addition costs - only after reservation. We realized that we had to pay extra 66 EUR after getting booking confirmation.
It is a little bit unpleasantly, but then we came there we saw an absolutely dirty apartment - all the surfaces was covered with dust. And this is is AFTER 66 EUR cleaning! We spent a half oh a day to clean everything by ourselves.
More than that - there was not any blankets there. We asked a charwoman to bring us at least one, she promised to come with them in the evening but did not come and did not bring any.
We was needed to sleep under thin cover for sofa, and it was quite cold.
After all this they took money for cleaning from my credit card without my agreement and did not answer my mails with photos of dust in their apartment.
Don't book anything from Interhome!

late talker resource for parentsApr 10, 2003

"Oral language-the ability to communicate needs, feelings
and opinions via verbal speech-is the coin-of-the-realm in
today's society. One must be able to interact verbally with
others and an inability to do so, can greatly hamper a
child's development and independence.
For most children, oral language develops quite naturally.
As the child's vocabulary and syntax emerges, he becomes
better able to communicate with others and gains control of
his environment. A child's failure to develop normal verbal
language can create great angst for his parents and
When a parent has concerns about the child's language
development, she often turns to family members or neighbors
for 'expert' advice. The counsel that is provided generally
ranges from unwarranted panic to laissez-faire advice that
the child 'will grow out of it.' Neither of these reactions
is particularly helpful or effective.
However, The Late Talker by Agin, Geng and Nicholl provides
useful, field tested advice for parents who are concerned
about their child's language development. This gem of a
book provides an immensely readable overview of normal
language development and a thorough review of the cause of
language delays and disabilities. The material offers
comfort and counsel for the anxious parents.
The great strength of The Late Talker is its
transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Dr. Agin offers a
thoughtful medical perspective on the problem and
translates the related research into understandable and
useful terms. Co-author Lisa Geng provides an invaluable
parental perspective on the issue by discussing the
emotional reactions of the family to the child with delayed
The Late Talker provides an unparalleled overview of a
problem faced by families throughout America . But beyond
merely defining the problems, the book offers practical
advice and strategies that the reader can put into
action . . . today. This book belongs in every
pediatrician's office and in the bookshelf of every early
childhood center in the country."

Homemade Yogurt
• 2 cups raw cashews, or blanched almonds
• 4 cups water
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 scoop yogurt starter (I use Custom Probiotics, http://www.customprobiotics.com/yogurtstarter.htm which is dairy-free and gluten-free)
Soak the nuts overnight in enough water to cover (this makes extra-creamy yogurt). Drain thoroughly. In a blender, combine the nuts, 4 cups water, and salt and blend until completely smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the blender a couple of times. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any stray particles of nuts. Transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan and heat over medium heat until bubbles form around the edges, stirring constantly, but don't let the milk boil. Cool to 100 degrees. Transfer the mixture to a yogurt maker and stir in the yogurt culture. Process the yogurt according to manufacturer's directions. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week.
"Creative Living" is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden. The show is carried by more than 118 PBS stations in the United States, Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico and is distributed by Westlink, Albuquerque.

The father of Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing agrees with his son's former University of Southern California teammate, Clay Matthews, that the NFL must change its seeming double standard when it comes to protecting defensive players.
Cushing, the Texans defensive leader, was lost to a season-ending left ACL tear on a questionable cut block by New York Jets guard Matt Slauson in the Texans' victory Monday night.
"A technique like this and other things — yeah, defenders need to be protected,'' Frank Cushing told USA TODAY Sports Wednesday morning. "This is where Clay is coming from. We don't blame anybody. But defensive players, they need protection, too.''
Merton Hanks, the league's vice president for football operations, is reviewing Slauson's apparent clip of Cushing the NFL confirmed to USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell.
MORE:NFL reviewing Slauson's block
Frank Cushing and his wife, Antoinette, watched Monday's game in the MetLife Stadium suite of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, another of Cushing's former Trojans teammates. A stadium security guard immediately escorted Frank Cushing to the locker room after his son was hurt in the second quarter.
"I don't know Matt Slauson, but I have seen the play on film now,'' Frank Cushing said. "The NFL has the play on film. They're the experts. Let them call the shots. It's up to the NFL.
"The one thing I would agree with Clay Matthews is that regardless of what the NFL thinks it is, whether it is or it isn't (an illegal hit) ... as a fan and as a parent, I would send that tape to the league's rules committee to look at this with a little tag on it: Fans do come to games to see defensive players. ... There are going to be a lot of people sitting in the Reliant Stadium stands Sunday with their No. 56 Cushing jersey on, wondering where the kid is. So defensive players also get hurt. And they are also marquee players.''
Cushing is the Texans' defensive signal caller and was voted the team's MVP last season.
Matthews, a three-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, took to his Twitter feed Monday night to say with apparent anger: "Where is the NFL's protection on blocks below the waist like that on Cushing. Double standard!
"If the NFL really wants to increase player safety, start protecting players on BOTH sides of the ball.''
Cut blocks are legal, but Cushing was pursuing running back Bilal Powell with his back turned — in effect, defenseless — when his legs were taken out from behind by Slauson's block. On the play, Slauson ran past Cushing, then came back to cut him down while Cushing was in pursuit of the ball carrier.
"He got cut on that play," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday. "Obviously, cutting is part of football. But the rule says you can't come back to your own goal line and cut. So the question is, is the guy coming back to his own goal line? That's in the league's hands.
"But it doesn't change the fact that we sit here today, losing a heck of a player and having to deal with that."
Frank Cushing said Brian, who will undergo surgery in a couple of weeks, simply told his father, "Hey, it's football.''
But Frank Cushing also sees a bright side to this story.
"The good news? Brian will have a diversion — we expect Brian's son to be born next Thursday,'' he said. "His wife, Meghan, is already scheduled for a C-section. I told Brian, 'The good news is you'll be spending more time with your first born.'
"Brian's just very determined. If somebody can set a record for coming back from an ACL repair, he'll do it.''

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Huntington City Miners Memorial will see a new addition soon. Work is being done to complete a monument paying tribute to coal miners who have died at coal mines in Huntington Canyon. It will also include names of miners who lived in the Huntington/Lawrence area who passed away in other coal mining accidents in mines located elsewhere.
Boyd Wilson of Huntington is spearheading the effort to get this monument completed. Huntington City is supporting the project financially. Wilson said, "We currently have names for 49 miners. We think we have everyone, but we don't want to leave any name out. If you know of anyone who should be included on this monument, please let us know. I can be reached at 687-2537 or 749-1045. You can also call the Huntington City Hall at 687-2436.
"The stone will be made out of granite and is five feet long and three feet tall and one foot thick. The names will be engraved in the stone below the year the accident took place. The granite is gray in color. We just wanted to recognize those miners that aren't listed anywhere else. Those who died in the Wilberg Mine are listed on the monument in Orangeville. Those who died in Crandall Canyon are listed here at the miners memorial."
Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon said, "This is really Boyd's project, he just felt like it needed to be done and I agree. He's put in a lot of work and research to gather the names. We just want to double check to make sure we haven't missed anyone."
Wilson said, "The first miners listed worked at the Winter Quarters mine and lived in Huntington. This was in 1900. There have been various accidents throughout the years where miners have lost their lives." An unveiling ceremony will be planned for early November after the final work on the project is complete. The Miners Memorial Park is next to the Huntington City cemetery on SR-31.

|Loll Designs
|Loll Designs products are made from 100% recycled and recyclable High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which is the same material as the #2 recyclable plastics (i.e. milk jugs, etc) that you take out to curb every week (or at least should be). Arbor wood handle.
|Durable, all-weather, and maintenance free. Manufactured in Duluth, Minnesota, USA. No assembly required. Sorry, no cancellations on Loll products.
Why the long lead time? Loll Designs runs their production schedule with a delay to build up orders to better utilize raw material yield and create better efficiencies in their production facility. From this delay, they can allow orders of similar colors to build up and thus cut more parts at one time to utilize more of the raw material. Virtually all of the waste from their manufacturing process is sent to a local recycling plant.
Loll eco-initiatives: Loll Designs purchases a block of wind energy through a certified wind power program called Windsense, which is offered by the local power utility, Minnesota Power. Participation in 1% for the Planet. Partners with Carbonfund.org to help off-set the carbon emissions generated by shipping their products. Products contribute to LEED certification credits. Loll Designs carries the Green America Seal and is listed in The National Green Pages™. All Loll Designs products are flat-packed and packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled packaging. Loll employees plant a tree for each order we receive in a calendar year.
|Care Notes
|Mostly you will find a simple hose-off will do the trick. If there is a little more dirt, a simple wet rag and natural spray cleaner should be sufficient to keep Loll furniture clean. Microfiber towels work great! If there is dirt embedded in the texture, you can do well with a mild soap and water and a stiff but gentle bristled brush. You can power wash your furniture if you like that sort of thing.
