GDB 26: Danger in the Shark tank
December 06 2008 05:21PM
Step 1: Score three goals. Step 2: Gas three goal lead surrendering four straight. Step 3: Score stirring goal with 12 mins remaining to tie the game. Step 4: Have Schremp go in the shootout - get 56 alarm robbed by LaBarbera Step 5: Send in Hemsky to destroy everything.
Repeat as necessary
So what exactly is the plan for tonight? The Oil head into San Jose - who has collected an amazing 16 wins in only 12 games at home this year. The nice thing about tonight? The Oil really have no business winning in SJ so there is no pressure on them. The really nice thing about tonight? The Oil historically have this habit of winning games they have no business winning. Take gassing that 3 goal lead last night then still pulling it out.
And before we start planning the party for Schremp we will continue to reserve judgment. He looked all kinds of awesome again last night -- going so far as to ditch his lid on the one goal in tribute to Coach MacTavish. We can literally hear the "I told you sos" being screamed at the TVs all over the Nation every time Schremp collects a point. We are waiting a few more before we make our decision on how real his realness is.
It touches our heart
The Justice League meeting was a little sparse last night -- and that's perfectly fine. Cause you know that everyone who wasn't in attendance at the JL meeting was out on the town and watching the game somewhere and there in spirit. You just know that the JL is out there on the town all over Canada running beers through them. It's the holidays for heavens sake. We need to be able to bring the JL on the move with us somehow -- and we have a team of scientists thinking about how that would work. In the meantime let the good times roll.
Oh yeah
And there's this.
December 06 2008, 08:45PM
I actually picked the Oil in my pick six. The Sharks would have been too easy and I'm an idiot.
December 06 2008, 08:45PM
I mean believer.
December 06 2008, 08:46PM
Wanye, the oilers are being spanked like a foster child at Christmas. But our shot percentage is through the roof! Let's just pray to Gregor that the score is only 1-1.
December 06 2008, 08:47PM
One goal on one shot! That's not impressive to me in the least. One goal on NO shots - now thats impressive
December 06 2008, 08:48PM
Why are the stands in the Joe empty?
December 06 2008, 08:50PM
Oh that - that's cause American Car Industry hasn't rolled out a quality auto since the 70s.
I mean ever.
December 06 2008, 08:51PM
The stands are empty at the Joe because nobody in Michigan has a job anymore!! Read the papers much?
December 06 2008, 08:52PM
F**k you Wanye..
December 06 2008, 08:53PM
@ Clarkenstein: You gotta be quick Clarkenstein. When Wanye attends a JL meeting it's a quick draw.
That's not fair, Wanye. What about the Ford Probe? Quality, quality, quality.
December 06 2008, 08:54PM
HA I know that. I was just pointing out. Northlands was pretty spotty in the mid 80's when we were kicking ass too. Weird how that works.

December 06 2008, 08:56PM
Because the auto industry refused to act responsibly and make better cars unlike their european and Japanese counterpartes :)
WAYNE! you're at a JL meeting WOW....and what was this "work" party you were speaking of. It sounded like some type of institution beyond our dearly beloved Oilernation
December 06 2008, 08:56PM
mark crawford makes me cry. I'd even take bob and harry over this clown
December 06 2008, 08:57PM
Come on my KIA gets great mileage! and chicks like it....CHicks being the old ladies I drive around to their hair appointments

No matter what Wanye tells you, he was at a Debutante Ball.
December 06 2008, 08:58PM
Old ladies need the bone too.
December 06 2008, 08:58PM
hold on was that a shot on net?
I want to see the Oil take on the Sharks 5-on-3 for an entire game...Then we'd show them!
December 06 2008, 08:59PM
@ Fiveandagame: I know it's been awhile. The JL remains always in my heart even if I haven't been in attendance of late. For the record I only missed two games but it feels like more.
I wish there was an OilersNation Xmas party. I'd challenge everyone to a keg stand and take all the wives and girlfriends home with me
December 06 2008, 09:00PM
Wow the san jose players are swarming like some type of large predatory sea creature

Wow sarcastic cheers from the crowd as we get our second shot.....d!cks.
December 06 2008, 09:03PM
Dakin you and I are going to have some words my man. If you tried to use a chainsaw to unclog a toilet and it didn't work properly - would you blame the tool or the guy using the tool?
December 06 2008, 09:03PM
A shot?
December 06 2008, 09:03PM
Holy crap!
December 06 2008, 09:03PM
How did that stay out?
December 06 2008, 09:03PM
I'll see your kegstand and raise you 5 jagerbombs!
December 06 2008, 09:04PM
If you were paid 4 million dollars to unclog that toilet with a chainsaw I am sbsolutely sure you would be able to make it work.
December 06 2008, 09:04PM
@ Fiveandagame: I have worn the same Oilers jersey every single day since Bob Beers signed it for me. I have no need for this laundry you speak of.
December 06 2008, 09:05PM
I see a Schrempy-poo-cole line soon as the oilers third line.
Moreau Brody and Pisani as our fourth line

Shen Yun brings to life 5,000 years of Chinese civilization through classical Chinese dance and music in an exhilarating show you will never forget.
Shen Yun captures the spirit of a culture long lost. The show moves quickly through regions, dynasties, and legends. Ethnic and folk dances fill the stage with color and energy. Tremendous athleticism, thunderous battle drums, and masterful vocalists are all set to animated backdrops that transport you to another world.
It is a grand production with nearly 100 artists, 400 costumes, and the only orchestra in the world featuring both classical Western and Chinese instruments as permanent members.
Based in New York, Shen Yun is the first company to present classical Chinese dance to the world on a large scale. And it has taken the globe by storm, performing in over 100 cities. Shows in top venues, like New York's Lincoln Center, are sold out.
Think of it as a journey into a long-lost world you cannot see anywhere else—from ancient legends to heavenly palaces to the dusty plateaus of the Middle Kingdom. You cannot even find a show like this in China, where this ancient heritage has been destroyed. But now you can experience it live on stage.
For thousands of years, Chinese artists cultivated virtue, believing that to create true art worthy of the heavens, there must first be inner purity. Today, Shen Yun's artists follow this noble tradition. The result is a performance of consummate beauty, purity, and goodness. It is a show that nourishes the soul.
Find out why artists and theatergoers around the world are calling Shen Yun "breathtaking," "mesmerizing," "a miracle," and "inspiring." Allow yourself to be taken away to distant lands and ancient legends. See Shen Yun and discover how you, too, can be inspired.

6 June - 9 August 1998 National Gallery of Australia Canberra
Utagawa Kuniyasu Edo 1794–1832 Courtesan with umbrella c.1820s National Gallery of Australia
The National Gallery of Australia presents for the first time in Australia a major exhibition of the art of Edo period Japan (1600-1868). Beauty and Desire: Women in Edo Period Japan features woodblock prints, paintings and kimonos dating from the 17th century to the late 19th century. Through these spectacular works, Gary Hickey, curator of Asian Art at the National Gallery of Australia, has evoked the lively and often lascivious environment which gave rise to the well-known Japanese art of ukiyo-e.
By the early 18th century the city of Edo (now Tokyo) was the capital of Japan; once a small fishing village, it had become the most populous city in the world. The Edo period was characterised by almost 250 years of uninterrupted peace and relative isolation from the outside world. These factors contributed to the rise in wealth of a merchant class, chonin, who had no political power. Their aspirations and desires were expressed in a lively and carefree urban culture. To represent their new aesthetic, the Edo townsmen borrowed the ancient Buddhist term ukiyo. It originally meant the impermanence of life, but was used to denote a `floating world' unfettered by daily concerns.
The philosophy of ukiyo added a certain poignancy to life - it intensified the beauty of the transient cherry blossom, the summer call of the cricket or the fleeting beauty of a young woman. This attitude was conducive to a life where pleasures were enjoyed in a relaxed fashion.
The chonin culture revolved around the entertainment areas of Edo - the Yoshiwara brothel district and the Kabuki theatres. Obsessed with the ideal of feminine beauty, townsmen looked to their artists to express these desires through the depiction of beautiful women dressed in the height of fashion. Sex became the new religion of the chonin and their goddess the courtesan of the Yoshiwara. Her beauty was extolled in literature, art and theatre. Unencumbered by the centuries of tradition that distinguished the orthodox schools of painting, the artists of the Edo period could reflect this new taste.
New egalitarian ideals demanded a more accessible art, so the ancient technique of woodblock printing was revived. Courtesans, sporting outrageous hair styles and dressed in the latest kimono designs, represented the height of Edo aesthetic taste. Parading in festivals, parodied in the theatre by the female impersonators, or depicted in erotic works, these women became the main subject matter for the ukiyo-e artists.
Beauty and Desire explores the image of woman as an aesthetic ideal through some 100 works by more than 35 artists. All the major figures of ukiyo-e are represented including Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro, Sharaku, Moronobu, Harunobu, Kiyonaga, Kuniyoshi and Yoshitoshi. This is the first exhibition to draw together major collections of Edo period art in Australian collections as well as selected ukiyo-e masterpieces and kimonos from Japanese and American collections.

Shikai - Makes my opponent a extremely painful migraine headache. If you've ever had one you'll know how crazy this power would be!
Bankai - Make my opponent feel an extreme hunger & thirst. I'm talkin worse than a small poor village in Africa Hunger & thirst!

I'm right so if you have another opinion about anything you're wrong!! ...Well unless you said Karin would live or Sasuke will take Itachi's eyes lol!
Phixion loves to delete my "witty" post..
Well I didn't read any previous posts aside from page one, so if this is similar i apologize, great minds think alike.
Name - Bonaduce (bon-a-deuce)
Shikai -
effect 1 - I would have hyped senses and movement speed(more so then normal shikai gives),
effect 2 - the 'power' would be giving my a 3rd eye giving me greater awareness of reiatsu, this way i could know when/if the opponent was gonna launch a blast attack or was powering up/down
*details - My sword would remain the size of a reg zanpakuto while in shikai
Bankai -
effect 1 -My zanpakuto would materialize, creating a clone of myself(both clones with a zanpakuto) , however i would not gain a 3rd eye, instead both the clone and myself would have the same pair of eyes (meaning we would see the same thing as the other at the same time),
effect 2 -fighting ability (speed/power) would be amped 25x my power in shikai, this would stack with my regular abilities, and both clones would get the amped ability
effect 3 - the 'power' my bankai would have with the clone is it would allow both myself and the clone to jump to 1 body whenever, so if one of us got caught or was about to be hit, it would faze into the body that was away from the attack, no distance matters for the faze, also during the time clone A comes to clone B, clone A would be incorporeal
*description - my sword would remain the size of a normal zanpakuto, i would have no special blast attacks. for the faze between clones A-B imagine it being like the clones turns to light and returns to the opposite body.
Kido of choice - #44 Illusionary Clones, creates 6 clones that could not affect the outside world, are just decoys, however with my 2 clones in bankai that are real it would be a total of 14 me's 2 of which could tear it up lol
I'd have no blasts/mind bends/effects on anything. I'd be purely reliant on my up close fighting skill. My Kido would be limited to the 40's and lower, so against anyone strong it wouldn't do much.

- Period:
- Origin:
This four-volume catalogue documents the impressive collection of miniatures owned by turn-of-the-century banker and philanthropist J. Pierpont Morgan. As well as being a giant of finance and industry, J. P. Morgan was one of the foremost American collectors of art, antiques and rare manuscripts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His miniatures were mostly of notable European figures such as Marie Antoinette and Mary Queen of Scots, and included the work of such masters as Hans Holbein, Isaac Oliver, and J.B. Jacques Augustin, whose work Morgan had purchased from the artist's widow. In 1935, Morgan's son, Jack Pierpont Morgan, sold his father's collection of miniatures at auction at Christie's in London. The collection brought the monumental sum of $340,000, a truly astonishing price in a time of economic depression. The catalogue was compiled by Dr. George C. Williamson, who catalogued the collection and advised Morgan on many of the purchased.

On a fateful summer morning in A.D. 79 Mount Vesuvius buried the vibrant Roman city of Pompeii—and many of its citizens—beneath tons of volcanic ash and debris.
"Darkness fell, not the dark of a moonless or cloudy night, but as if the lamp had been put out in a dark room," wrote Pliny the Younger, who witnessed the cataclysm from across the Bay of Naples.
The darkness Pliny described drew the final curtain on an era in Pompeii. But the disaster also preserved a slice of Roman life. The buildings, art, artifacts, and bodies forever frozen offer a unique window on the ancient world.
Since its rediscovery in the mid-18th century the site has hosted a tireless succession of treasure hunters and archaeologists.
"Pompeii as an archaeological site is the longest continually excavated site in the world," says Steven Ellis, a classics professor at the University of Cincinnati and the co-director of the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia.
"Because of this, what we find in Pompeii is that every step in the development in the science of archaeology was tested out in Pompeii—with mixed results," he says.
For early archaeologists the disaster of the city's final days was the primary draw, unearthing buildings and streets as they stood at the time of the eruption.
"Today we are interested in the development of the city," Ellis explains. "What was there first and how did it get to the point it was when it was destroyed?"
The People's Pompeii
Ellis's team is particularly interested in a corner of the city near the Porta Stabia gate that is a bit off the beaten archaeological path.
"It's kind of a lost neighborhood of the city. When they first cleared it of debris in the 1870s they left this block for ruin (because it had no large villas) and it was covered over with a terrible jungle of vegetation," he says.
Much research has centered on public buildings and breathtaking villas that portray the artistic and opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the city's wealthy elite.
"We're trying to see how the other 98 percent of people lived in Pompeii," Ellis says. "It's a humble town block with houses, shops, and all the bits and pieces that make up the life of an ancient city."
But while his quest is knowledge of the living Pompeii, Stanford University's Gary Devore, the project's co-director, notes that the eruption still resonates because of the intimate connection it created between past and present.
"We're digging in an area where a lot of Pompeians died during the eruption," he says. "I remind myself all the time that I can investigate in such detail this ancient Roman culture as a direct result of a great human disaster.
"At the end of a day of intense mental processing and physical labor, when the tools are being packed up and put away for the night, I often take a moment to remind myself of that connection with the individuals whose homes and workshops we're digging up," he says.
Preserving Pompeii's Past for the Future
Even after hundreds of years of work, about a third of the city still lies buried. Yet there is no rush to unearth these hidden Pompeii neighborhoods.
Today's great challenge is preservation of what has been uncovered.
Volcanic ash long protected Pompeii, but much of it has now been exposed to the elements for many years. The combined wear of weather, pollution, and tourists has created a real danger of losing much of what was luckily found preserved.
Yet Devore is hopeful for Pompeii's future.
"The current administration of Pompeii [under Pietro Giovanni Guzzo] has been incredibly diligent in focusing on preservation," he says.
Over his 13 seasons at Pompeii, Devore has witnessed great improvements in conservation and preservation of the priceless site.
"As an archaeologist, I'm part of that process in the way that I document what gets dug out of the ground," he adds. "Since archaeology is destruction, we destroy bits of Pompeii as we go along. So it's incredibly important that we record in great detail, with the ability to recreate what we've taken away afterward. That's how we're part of the conservation of Pompeii."

Jute & Natural Fiber Rugs
Freshen up your home with jute and natural fiber rugs. Durable enough for high-traffic areas like hallways, bedrooms and living rooms, these gorgeous floor coverings are as much a work of art as they are functional, creating depth and giving your home a nature-inspired feel that's not only pretty, but eco-friendly, too. In rich patterns and multiple pile options, our natural fiber rugs put the power of choice in your hands so you can dress your floors in whatever style best matches your mood. Artisanal crafting ensures that each rug is not only durable, but beautifully woven in intricate hand-knotted or machine-knotted patterns that inspire conversation and contemplation – making them just right for everywhere from a cozy sitting room corner to a screened in patio.
Selecting the right rug starts not with color or style, but with its shape and size. Begin by assessing the shape of the room in which the rug will lie; measure the entire room for larger rugs, or just the space you want to cover for smaller areas. Jot these measurements down and refer to them when shopping. Each product in Pottery Barn's natural fiber rug collection contains measurements just below the product description to help you find the right size each time. Shape-wise, square and rectangular rugs work better when placed under large pieces of furniture, in hallways or in front of entrances, while round rugs look nicer placed away from furniture, under small end tables, or in the middle of a room. A round rug makes an excellent accompaniment to an ottoman or footstool, while a small, rectangular rug provides a sturdy place to stand while washing dishes or preparing food.
Once you have sorted size and shape, it's time to get creative and choose your fibers. Each type of natural fiber carries its own individual benefits, and may or may not be suited to certain rooms of the house. The height of the pile you choose also matters with wool rugs; though this can vary slightly over time and with traffic, generally speaking, the greater the pile height, the thicker the rug.
When luxurious comfort and beauty matters most, turn to wool rugs for their versatility and style. Soft, wool rugs do better placed in bedrooms, living rooms and areas free from high levels of moisture and water that may cause them to shrink. Thick, chunky wool is perfect for protecting tender tootsies from cool floors early in the morning, making it especially suited to dorm rooms, bedrooms and apartment life. Need something that will withstand the tests of time? Choose a tight knot or weave with a low pile for easy care – just vacuum away dust and pet hair with a standard household vacuum as needed.
For a clean, crisp look that mimics spas and encourages a clean, breezy feel, choose from our selection of jute, cotton and linen rugs. These lightweight fabrics knot up into tiny, low-pile weaves that look and feel light as a feather underfoot. Straight, striped weave lines allow this type of floor covering to fit into almost any room in your home effortlessly, so feel free to place one in the bedroom, in the bathroom, or even tucked away into a contemplative reading nook or study zone. Many of these rugs are machine-washable, too, so you can lay them out in a child's play space or kitchen with confidence.
Searching for something truly special? Try rugs made from specialty fibers like seagrass and sisal. Both are extremely durable and hardy to foot traffic. Seagrass and sisal rugs fit well in hallways, entryways and bathrooms alike; they're resistant to moisture and able to withstand even the excited foot traffic of children returning from a long day at school. Many of the options within this collection are customizable, too, letting you pick and choose your width, height and color to best suit your space.

All-time Lakers: Best center?
This NBA Finals between the Lakers and Celtics is stirring up all sorts of nostalgic feelings for the glory days of Magic, Bird, Kareem and McHale.
With everyone reminiscing, we thought it would be the perfect time to dip deep into Lakers history and determine the franchise's all-time team.
So starting today -- with your help, of course -- we're going to pick it, position by position. We'll start with center, end with coach and cover forwards and guards in between.
Here are profiles of the centers. Below you can cast your vote.

The Sharks charged into the Super Rugby semi-finals with an impressive 30-17 victory over the Reds in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Sharks charged into the Super Rugby semi-finals with an impressive 30-17 victory over the Reds in Brisbane on Saturday.
The elimination of the Australian conference winners means the Sharks will face South African rivals the Stormers at Newlands in the semi-finals next Saturday, while the Crusaders will travel to Hamilton for an all-Kiwi clash with the Chiefs.
There was plenty of talk about teams carrying momentum in the build-up to the qualifying finals, and the Sharks showed they will be very a tough act to beat next weekend following this sterling performance.
The Durban side were scintillating on attack in the first period and backed it up with brave, well-organised defence after the break.
The Sharks led 20-10 at half-time thanks to tries from JP Pietersen and Paul Jordaan plus a Fred Michalak drop goal, while the Reds replied just before the break via a touchdown from Will Genia.
An intercept try from Charl McLeod early in the second period gave the visitors a healthy gap, forcing the Reds to chase the game. Radike Samo's 80th-minute score proved to be too little too late for the defending champions.
The Sharks dominated the opening exchanges and were 10-0 up after 13 minutes. Michalak opened the scoring from the kicking tee before Bismarck du Plessis showed fantastic hands to put Pietersen clear out wide for the first try.
Things went from bad to worse for the Reds as fly-half Ben Lucas was forced off injured and coach Ewen McKenzie made a big call by bringing replacement scrum-half Nick Frisby on, leaving Mike Harris in midfield and handing the pivot role to Genia.
The nightmare start continued for the hosts when Paul Jordaan showed a neat step, after a great offload from Keegan Daniel, and raced home for the Sharks' second try.
Harris stepped up to find his target with a long-range penalty, but Michalak replied with a sucker punch to put the Sharks 20-3 ahead by landing a drop goal from bang in front.
With half-time looming, Scott Higginbotham broke down the left touchline and found Genia on his inside for a try that dragged the hosts back into contention.
The Sharks were first to strike in the second half, however, when McLeod intercepted Genia's pass to bolt 60m and score under the sticks. Michalak's third conversion left the visitors leading 27-10.
Both teams then came within inches of scoring but the Reds were denied by the TMO for inconclusive evidence before Meyer Bosman stumbled with the tryline begging.
The Reds pitched camp in the Sharks' 22 for 10 minutes but couldn't find a gap in the wall of black jerseys, although Digby Ioane came awfully close.
Samo finally crashed over in the final minute, but any hopes of the Reds defending their title had already evaporated.
Man of the match: A mention for JP Pietersen, who scored the first try and was immense on defence, but we'll go for Bismarck du Plessis who continues to astound not only with his strength but with some awesome ball skills.
Moment of the match: The Reds were still in it until McLeod's intercept try moved the Sharks two converted tries clear. Genia threw the offending pass. Should he have even been playing at fly-half?
Villain of the match: No nasty stuff to report.
The scorers:
For the Reds:
Tries: Genia,Samo
Cons: Harris, Genia
Pens: Harris
For the Sharks:
Tries: Pietersen, Jordaan, McLeod
Cons: Michalak 3
Pens: Michalak 2

Replacements: 16 James Hanson, 17 Ben Daley, 18 Radike Samo, 19 Jarrad Butler, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Ben Tapuai.
Sharks: 15 Louis Ludik, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Paul Jordaan, 12 Tim Whitehead, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Keegan Daniel (c), 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Willem Alberts, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.

The Swinging Bridge just received a needed facelift reported Vernell Rowley at the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting. He expressed appreciation to Ray Petersen, public lands director and Rex Funk, road department director for their help on the project. "Some of the boards on the deck were replaced and some of the sideboards. They made it safe for walking," said Rowley. The Swinging Bridge is a significant landmark on the San Rafael Swell and the preservation of it is very important to the Emery County preservation commission.
Public lands chairman Bruce Wilson reported XTO Energy has plans for five new compression stations and two new wells in the Stump Flat area, the wells will be directional wells.
Tory Ward in the Recreation subcommittee report said they would like to get easements on the SITLA land near Huntington and also the Poker Ride land. Mark H. Williams came to the Huntington city council meeting to discuss it and the mayor and city council were favorable to pursuing this avenue in obtaining a right-of-way for these lands. A committee is being formed by the lands council to define the advantages and disadvantages to such right-of-ways.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud expressed concern on purchasing right-of-ways on roads and trails which are our roads anyway due to RS-2477 right-of-ways.
It was decided that a maintenance plan for the trail above Huntington would need to be put together. SITLA also has funds available for trail maintenance which could be tapped into should the county acquire the right-of-way.
Wilson instructed the committee to put together a plan to present to the commissioners. Killian said she is also working with area ranchers to ease tensions. She said ranching brings a lot of money into the county, but also tourism brings in money and should be encouraged. She said in Carbon County the Sageriders OHV Club has worked with cattlemen on several projects and she would like that working relationship between the two groups to be more amiable in Emery County. Open communication between the OHVs and ranchers is needed and when projects are in the works, the groups should come together at the beginning to discuss projects and their affects on the various user groups.
Sherrel Ward reported that Desert Lake had seen plenty of duck hunters. The salinity project is proceeding and the engineers are almost ready to open the bids and that work should begin in the county next spring on the main trunk of the project. Ward reported that precipitation is 116 percent of normal with Electric Lake being 55 percent full; Huntington North 28 percent; Huntington Reservoir 23 percent; Cleveland Reservoir 62 percent; Millers Flat 31 percent; Joes Valley 70 percent and Millsite 61 percent.
Mike McCandless, county economic development director, reported he had attended the natural resources water development meeting on the appropriation of the Colorado River. The river is overappropriated and no new water rights are being approved. Water users who have filed rights and have not proved up on these rights are in danger of losing them. Most of these rights in danger are those filed in the 1950s. These rights are being reviewed. With approximately 393,000 acre feet of undeveloped claims and only approximately 303,000 acre feet available; that leaves approximately 90,000 acre feet of water that has been claimed, but is not available. In the future a water project that will pump water from Lake Powell to St. George, Cedar City and Kanab could take a good chunk of available water.. "It is important that our municipalities and special service district have all proved up on their water rights," said McCandless. It is possible to get on the data base for water rights and check on claims through the Department of Natural Resources website under Division of Water Rights.
The Julius Flat development is one water right in the Emery district that needs to be proved up. McCandless reported that water will go to the developed (populated) areas. Agriculture users account for 70 percent of water use which is why irrigation projects are so important to increase efficiency for water use.
Derris Jones from the DWR reported the annual bucks and bulls RAC meeting will be coming up on Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the John Wesley Powell River Museum in Green River. Jones reported that 500 people had obtained permits to visit Range Creek this summer. Three percent came from Carbon County and 90 percent of the visitors were from out of the area. CEU and the Carbon Recreation have taken people into Range Creek on two days a month. "If there is anything the division can do to help Emery County derive some benefit out of Range Creek let us know." Jones said they would like to create a partnership where people could come and spend a night or two and visit Range Creek and also experience recreational opportunities in Emery County. Jones was questioned on whether ownership of Range Creek might change from the DWR. Jones said the governor had visited Range Creek along with University of Utah people and whatever happens CEU will need to remain a part of what happens and the hunters and fishermen still need access. No plans have been made yet for any change of ownership. Currently the state parks and DWR are sharing law enforcement duties in the canyon. Range Creek is a limited entry draw area for elk and you need to draw a tag and then also obtain a day use permit. Anyone with a southeastern region deer permit can go in there with a day use permit on foot or horseback only. Someone killed a large buck in there on the archery hunt.
Mesia Nyman with the forest service reported that with the hunt on the ATVs are all over the place and it's a hard issue to be successful with especially during the deer and elk hunt. She said that signing doesn't last long and that new trails are made each year and enforcement is slim. She is open to suggestions for solutions.
She reported the controlled burn scheduled for the Jungle would be pushed back to next summer because it is too wet. The cabins on Skyhaven have been purchased except for three and whatever is left will be burned. She said that 2006 projects have been scheduled and they will do as much as possible with a tight budget. In 2006 they will finish the forest plan revision. There will be approximately 12 fuels reduction projects, including thinning around Black Dragon and Ferron Reservoir and also pile burnings from previous thinning in some areas. There will be a mechanical thinning on Middle Mountain. An environmental impact study will be done on a proposed pipeline near Electric Lake. A hazardous fuels treatment will be done outside of the town of Scofield. Gas wells have been applied for along Upper Joes to Skyline.
In 2008, approximately 1,000 Order of the Arrow scouts will be in the area and they will participate in a week long tamarisk removal project; where they will cut tamarisk and then they will be painted with a stump and root killer.
The forest service is still working toward having the Seely guard station available for rental by the public. Work will also continue on signing for roads and trails. Nyman reported they are looking for a water right in connection with the sage grouse guzzlers installed to replace water from ponds no longer holding water. They have been told this is an improvement without a water right and the state said reduce cattle or get a water right. Suggestions included talking to sportsmen who might purchase a water right for the sage grouse guzzler. Commissioner Gary Kofford said the state should be worried about bigger problems than the guzzlers. Jones said that Jerry Olds doesn't like changes in the point of diversion and since the water now comes by way of guzzler and not the pond, that is the difficulty. A meeting might be in order with Mark Page from the water rights to discuss the problem.
Nyman said a big worry is a judges ruling to eliminate categorical exclusions. These exclusions have been used for projects with little environmental impacts or known impacts. Also for small timbering projects, fuel treatments, mowing lawns and other smaller projects. This ruling could shut down a lot of projects in the forest. Categorical exclusions were non appealable and now they are appealable which opens the door for further input from the environmental community.
The next public lands council meeting will be on Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. in the county building.

The Military Wives were a collective of U.K.-based choirs, some of which were born out of the fourth series of the Gareth Malone-fronted TV documentary series The Choir, which aired in late 2011. Following the deployment of her husband to Afghanistan in 2009, Nicky Clarke contacted Malone with news of her intention to set up a choir in Catterick, North Yorkshire. The resulting formation of the Military WAGS Choir provided an opportunity for servicemen's wives, affiliates, and girlfriends -- as well as servicewomen -- to share their passion for music and help to unite the community of Catterick Garrison, the largest British Army garrison in the world. Malone was inspired to assist in the setting up of two similar choirs in Devon -- one at Royal Marines Base, Chivenor and the other at Royal Citadel, Plymouth -- and the formative steps of these endeavors were closely documented in his popular U.K. TV show.
Building on the success of the series, a Decca-issued, Paul Mealor-composed single, "Wherever You Are," reached the Christmas 2011 U.K. number one spot, knocking that year's X Factor winners Little Mix from their perch. Further momentum was gained as a result of this exposure, which led to the creation of additional choirs in Lympstone and Portsmouth. Recordings by each of the five choirs were collated on In My Dreams, the Military Wives' debut full-length, which was issued in March 2012. It featured material originally performed by U2, Coldplay, and Bob Dylan, while the title track was another Mealor composition. He had become the British composer of choice for such projects following the inclusion of his motet "Ubi Caritas et Amor" during Prince William and Catherine Middleton's wedding ceremony the previous year.
In My Dreams became a U.K. number one album and their chart success continued in May, when members of the choirs appeared on Gary Barlow's "Sing," a composition that commemorated the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and reached number one on the U.K. singles chart. Later in 2012, the success of the Military Wives' debut had spawned 24 choirs across the U.K. and some away as far as Germany and Cyprus. Over 700 members came together that year to record their second album, Stronger Together, which included songs such as Take That's "Rule the World," poignant renditions of classics "Right Here Waiting for You" and "When Will I See You Again," and two original tracks penned by choirmaster and mentor Malone. The Military Wives returned in 2016 with a festive album. Home for Christmas featured renditions of popular seasonal songs and performances from over 1,000 women from 65 choirs around the U.K. and overseas. ~ James Wilkinson, Rovi

What is a country? What is a nation? What is a society? What is an economy? Does one definition call for the superimposition of the others?
A nation, it would seem has the strictest of physical boundaries. A country may be another word for nation without as much emphasis on government but likely to have similar boundaries and characteristic aspects within these boundaries.
A society, generally formed within this defined area may spill over into what may be considered to be artificially drawn lines where countries touch each other and these referred to as boarders are broader in width and fairly nebulas from a social standpoint. And here the borders may form lines or areas of intermixture.
Economy is more of a concocted definition and perhaps less real requiring more imagination in understanding its floating and semisolid traits, perhaps nation- centered but with broader characterizing contributions to what the nation actually is, more descriptive of function than boundary restrictive.
Politicians are ready to use these words, combining or giving little reality and specific meaning to what they are saying.
We often hear the term "in the interest of the nation or of the economy" meant to give patriotic ring to what is being said yet few understand what economy is beyond reference to a lot of busyness and the production or the consumption of a lot of money on a grand or national scale.
The term society, on the other hand deals with who is doing what and the effect of busyness, production, consumption and money on the population that is referred to as a nation.
It appears that each term is ineffective when indicating real meaning without including all the knowledge and references that we find in each of the other terminologies. There is generally nothing specific in each of the terms and there is perhaps less wisdom when these terms flow out of the mouths of politicians.

No good! Got this in black for a gift. The material looks very cheap and the gold hardware is too bright (loud & tacky), had to return it. December 26, 2012
Cute bag I saw this bag in the store and it's a very cute and casual bag. Love the quilted design and it's big enough to carry your essentials. The only reason I didn't buy it is because I was looking for a dressier bag. December 18, 2012

Japan's Newest Pop Star Revealed to Be Computer-Generated Fake
A bunch of fans of Aimi Eguchi, the newest member of the Japanese idol group AKB 48, were shocked to discover that she was actually a computer generated composite of the "best features" of other members of the group. This must happen every day in Japan.
Aimi Eguchi made her debut in a candy commercial last week. Some fans quickly pieced together that she was actually a fake, thanks to some clues. Here are just some of the great only-in-Japan details about the story:
- Eguchi is the newest a member the popular AKB 48 idol group, which has 61 other members. That's basically an NFL team of dolled-up, giggling Japanese women.
- The slogan of Ezaki Glico, the candy company the commercial is for, is: "Hitotsubu 300 meter." No news reports have been able to explain what that means, but apparently fans used that as a clue to reveal Eguchi's non-humaness because Eguchi's profile on AKB 48's website listed her favorite sport as "track-and-field." Seriously, someone please explain what this slogan means because we are going crazy trying to figure it out.
- Eguchi isn't actually even Japan's first virtual pop star. That would be Hatsune Miku, who plays stadium concerts via hologram.
This is so different than in the U.S. We don't learn that our pop stars aren't human until their carefully calibrated cyborg brain chip malfunctions and they go on a murderous rampage. That reminds us: Has anyone checked Lady Gaga's head for screws? [Singularity Hub]

Who's Monet again?Oh, Caribou. Glad to see you showing some courage with that 210 million beri bounty, but this attack against Scotch is not going to end well for you...
Great chapter! Another one of those where Oda perfectly blends action, seriousness, comedy, and pain together, thereby creating plot development, tension, and anticipation for further chapters. Damn Bartolomeo! I hated you before and now I hate you even more with your homoerotic obsession! How cruel will you get when even Luffy expresses you're too much for him?! Haha love it! The interaction of Burgess, BB and Luffy was great as well. Loving the beard on BB!
I'm torn between how I feel about the Happou Navy coming under Luffy's control. I understand he's going to need more man power to essentially rule the world as Pirate King and to enforce his protection, but I've been a long-time advocate for the SHs remaining a power crew that conquers the world without official allies. Don't get me wrong, love the idea of Luffy finally starting to get official allies like Whitebeard had and Shanks, Kaido, BB and Big Mom undoubtedly do have as well; it shows how influential and powerful he's becoming. I don't want, though, the SHs to be split up like WB and BB's crews, with divisions and commanders. Keep it like Shanks' with a main crew whose allies come when needed. I'm fine with this set up.
As far as Rebecca goes, looks like we're headed toward a sad back story, which reinforces my presumption that she, of all characters in this arc, may become the next SH. Not sure how dark a back she'll have, but if she's a prisoner and her father very well may be Kyros in disguise as Ricky, then it has to be pretty damn bad for her to want to kill Doflamingo. Besides that, she has the "build" that SH girls usually have, the unique look and fighting style (which I assume is more classical, brute-strength swordsmanship), and the typical attention Luffy usually gives characters he wants as crew members. Aside from her dream, which I have no idea as to what it could be, she seems like a possible canidate. Add in Luffy wants Ace's power to go to someone he trusts, and Rebecca wants to become more powerful and willingly would eat the Mera Mera to do so, and we have a perfect setup. She does look a bit like Nami though, some panels more than others. If she joins hopefully Oda will adjust her look like he did with Vivi. Better yet, bring back Monet and have her join; problem solved.

Delaware Kid Chefs Learn Prepare Tasty, Nutritious, and Budget-Friendly Meals
Cross posted from the Let's Move! blog:
About a year ago Beverly Jackey, the community nutritionist for the Food Bank of Delaware, came up with a unique way of teaching kids to eat healthy. Jackey believed that children are more willing to try nutritious new foods when they are involved in preparing them. So Jackey and the Food Bank created a program called KID CHEF, which stands for Cooking Healthy Easy Food. Read more »

This A list singer/celebrity has always been edgy and overtly sexual
. It is interesting that her current boyfriend says the singer refuses to perform oral sex. She says it is gross.
She is wrong. And probably GagaReplyCancel
Madonna!!! (Why not, just for kicks)ReplyCancel
Maybe she just doesn't like the finish.ReplyCancel
Runswithscissors – if Madonna likes to pee in shower to prevent athletes foot I suspect she likes jizz/splooge/semen as a face lotion so probably not her.ReplyCancel
Kristin you read The Superficial?ReplyCancel
Kristin – you were probably right that egg incident was pretext to search house but must have been in plain sight or police don't think police could have seized it. They wouldn't be searching people or drawers cabinets if warrant said looking for eggs.ReplyCancel
Maybe the BF has foreskin and she is not with performing oral on an uncut penis.ReplyCancel
Montana – not to mention the smegmaReplyCancel
definitely a situation where word fits the definition:)ReplyCancel
I remember a water bottle being abused during the filming of Truth or Dare that says different.ReplyCancel
It reflects very poorly on him that he's discussing it o-OReplyCancel
@TTM You beat me to it! What I was gonna say. LOLReplyCancel
And Britney aka Burtney and Katy Perry show up in the ransoms today.ReplyCancel
See, Reno. We knowReplyCancel
Lol, the problem is him.
I like it when girls talk about BJ's.ReplyCancel
Exactly TTM, exactly.ReplyCancel
I was going to comment, but decided to take the high road. Besides, TTM said it first and best.ReplyCancel
What happened to rihanna latelly. nobody asksReplyCancel
No, Peggy, we're not taking him back. We already talked about this. We traded for the Quaid fella. Too bad that didn't work oot…ReplyCancel
Mmm dunno about itReplyCancel
@Violet Nice!ReplyCancel
I think it's Madonna. She's far too selfish to be a giver.ReplyCancel
That's probably the deal- you hang with me and live the life and then you take the fall if we get busted.ReplyCancel
"Ooiiiiiiiiiiil spilllllllll"
"You're right. It's NOT subtle."
– Bob
In a life that has been outrageously sexual I have always found that females who are overtly sexual are the worst in bed and the LEAST adventurous overall. They are all sizzle, no bacon. Uh oh, I mentioned Enty's favorite food.ReplyCancel
Kristin – they were there for evidence linking him to egg incident according to police spokesman. Most search warrants are executed by armed police. The drugs were in plain sight when police went in so that is why they were seized and the 'owner' arrested.ReplyCancel
I'm not a lawyer, but I could almost bet that here in Michigan, if the cops found drugs in MY home, no matter who they 'belonged' to, I'm pretty sure my ass would be in jail too.
And as a side note, was the cocaine in a Baggie that said "I belong to stupid rapper guy" ??
How the phuck do they know who they belonged to??
Not necessarily, look at it from the point of view of a boss, she hires the boys to service her, not the other way around, why should they get ALL the perks. Some women don't mind giving BJ's if it's because they are in love or they need to do it (i.e. Casting couch).ReplyCancel
Peggy – The police probably asked who's it was and he probably stepped up and claimed it to protect the Biebs, otherwise if no one claimed it the beibs would have been arrested because it was his house.ReplyCancel
Am I the only one thinking Miley?
When she was 14 years old she was posting half naked selfies, the attentionho was strong in that one.
She sure is overcompensating for something with her behavior. Maybe she fears the peen.
I love you sometimesReplyCancel
I love you alla time, DarlinReplyCancel

The Society for Economic Botany
Fostering research and education on the past, present, and future uses of plants by people.
Mary W. Klinger Book Award
Each year at the annual meeting of the Society for Economic Botany the Mary W. Klinger Book Award is given to an outstanding book published in the discipline of Economic/Ethno Botany.
Klinger Award Process
* The names of books to be considered may be submitted by any SEB member or by the author or the publisher of the book. Complete bibliographic and contact information must be provided.
* These books will be considered candidates for the Klinger Award.
* Books are eligible if they have been published on or after March 1st, three years prior to the current year. Klinger Finalists can be carried over for future consideration, if approved by the Klinger Committee.
* The annual list of candidate books will be completed by March 1st.
* The book review editor is encouraged to submit the titles of potential candidate texts to the Klinger committee, as the book reviews are received.
* Any member of the Klinger committee may nominate a book from the potential list of candidate texts.
* If two or more committee members nominate a book, it will be considered a Klinger Award Nominee.
* Publishers willing to have their Klinger Award Nominees considered for the award must submit a review copy to each member of the Klinger Committee.
* Klinger Award Nominees that receive positive reviews from the Klinger Committee become Klinger Award Finalists.
After reviewing each Klinger Award Nominee, committee members will submit their top three-ranked books to the chair of the Klinger Committee by June 1st. For each of the three top book, committee members (including the chair) will provide a one-paragraph review, which describes the merits of each text.
* The chair will compile the rankings and send the ranked list of the top three Klinger Award Nominee to the committee, along with the individual one-paragraph reviews. Committee members, including the chair, will vote yes or no, to confirm the rankings. If the majority of the committee votes in favor of the ranking, the top book will be the Klinger Awardee for that year. If the ranked list fails to achieve a majority vote, the lowest ranked Klinger Award Nominee will be removed from consideration. Ranking will continue as before. The process will continue, as needed until a decision is reached

Darrell loved teaching and coaching; he touched the lives of many students at Emery High. Darrell had a big heart; he was a quiet giver to many in need.
He is survived by his wife Natalie, sons Jake and Jax, daughter D'Lee all of Cleveland, parents Van J. and Georgia Gardner of Orangeville, two brothers Lyndon (Shauna) Gardner of Spring Creek, Nev., Earl Gardner of Ogden, and sister Joyce G (Victor) Staley of Orangeville.

The Strike King Baby King Shad fills the small swimbait niche that has become so popular across the country. Not everyone fishes in areas which have 8-inch forage and that's where the Baby King Shad comes in. At 3 inches in length, the Baby King Shad has a life-like action and bait fish profile that is effective pretty much anywhere. The single jointed body gives the bait a remarkable swimming action and flash while tracking perfectly through the water. Outfitted with premium hooks and components, this flat-sided hard body swimbait is available in a variety of great colors to help you catch that monster of a lifetime.

Customer Reviews
Comments: See lots of comments on the broken bill at the joint. Same happened to me. That said its a good lure, one I'll go to sometimes in clear water besides shallow crankbaits, good in that 7-10' depth over grass. Doesn't weigh a ton but actually casts ok on Med. power bait casting tackle and 12 lb Fluoro, Not a go to at all for me by any means but not a bad lure.
From: Tom: Ham Lake, MN 12/18/14
Comments: I have used this as a shallow(.5-3ft) search bait in chunk/ gravel rocks, and the size of the smallmouth have been sick! First time out 2 18+. Second time out a 22in. All from small rivers in western Ohio, where a 16in fish is good size. I'll buy everyone you have! Very durable, great colors, perfect size!
From: Beau: Tipp City, OH
Comments: With the great price TW has these going for right now, buy as many as you can. I did have one bill crack but the wind threw it into a rock. Crank it steady and twitch it 3 times and let it sit for a second or 2 and the bass HAMMER it. I have never used this without catching a fish. First time I tried the king shad and baby king shad I caught a fish on the first cast on BOTH sizes. I have used it twice in the past 6 trips and have caught 8 good largemouth, a 12" crappie, a 16.5" and a 20" smallmouth on this. well worth this especially for the great price.
From: NBM: NE
Comments: Don't bounce it off the timber or rocks. Breaks at joint very easily. Broke two in one day at Texoma.
From: DDC: Ardmore, OK
Comments: Great bait! My go to night bait! Largemouth, smallmouth and especially stripers smash it when shad are in the shallows spawning.
From: Nate: Daleville, VA
Comments: mine swims on side, its nose went bad when realing it back in. I haven't caught one fish on mine so i gave it to another fisherman, Might stay away from this folks, if its catching fish for you then buy it. I caught nothing so i stopped using them.
From: Alex
Comments: These are awsome lures, caught many good size bass on but all 4 that i own have broken lips. Not sure if i should buy them again....
From: Leng: Siloam Springs, AR
Comments: Badass lil lure, great alternative to shallow crank.
From: JP: Petaaluma, CA
Comments: The Baby King Shad is a nice little lure. Good for when the bass are reluctant to hammer one of the big swimbaits. Love all the color choices, ghost minnow has been the most effective for me. Heck, even crappie love it! I caught one that was nearly three pounds one evening. It was delicious!
From: Big J: Houston, TX
Comments::nice action perfect size. I'm looking forward to catching all kinds of bass with the new Baby King Shad.

The Hurricanes were made to work over time for their 46-30 win over a determined Kings outfit at Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
The Hurricanes were made to work over time for their 46-30 win over a determined Kings outfit at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
The hosts outscored the tournament underdogs six tries to three, but it was never one-way traffic as the visitors were surprisingly competitive throughout.
The Hurricanes had their four-try bonus point wrapped up before half-time and led 29-16, before the Kings closed the gap to seven points after the break.
But Brad Shields and Alapati Leiua then crossed for the 'Hurricanes fifth and sixth five-pointers to seal their third Super Rugby win which leaves second in the New Zealand conference and fifth overall.
The Hurricanes struck first through Ben May after the prop powered his way over with barely three minutes gone on the clock. Julian Savea did the initial damage, before the ball was shifted to the front-rower who still had some work to do from 10 metres out.
Barrett landed the conversion and a penalty to take the 'Canes into an early 10-0 lead.
However, the Kings hit back from an attacking line-out. Lock Steven Sykes couldn't believe his luck after touching down under the posts following some dire defensive work from the hosts at the breakdown. Demetri Catrakillis added the extras from bang in front, and the visitors trailed by three points (10-7).
The Hurricanes managed to stretch their lead again almost immediately when skipper Conrad Smith took a floating pass out wide to score a converted try.
Catrakilis nailed two consecutive penalties to keeping his team in touching distance of the Hurricanes (17-13), but tries to scrum-half TJ Perenara and then lock Jeremy Thrush on the stroke of half-time gave the home side some breathing space.
The Kings refused to give up though, and punished the Hurricanes' sluggish start to the second half when Ronnie Cooke raced in after taking full-back George Whitehead's excellent offload for a superb try.
But the visitors' hopes of an upset were crushed when Shields turned on the gas and brushed off some weak tackles to score his first Super Rugby try in the 65th minute.
The result was then really put beyond doubt when Leiua intercepted a Kings pass and ran in untouched, before replacement hooker Hannes Franklin burrowed over for a well-earned consolation try for the visitors.
The scorers:
For Hurricanes:
Tries: May, Smith, Perenara, Thrush, Shields, Leiua.
Cons: Barrett 5
Pens: Barrett 2
For Kings:
Tries: Sykes, Cooke, Franklin
Cons: Catrakilis 2, Whitehead.

Pink Steve Madden Swirly Flat
"I had previously purchased the clear and grey Steve Madden Swirly flat shoes. The Pink is cut differently and a bit more narrow. However I love the way this shoe clings and hugs my feet. They make me feel as though I am barefoot. I love the color, not too bright and definitely not dull. I have received sooo many compliments on them.Spring has sprung for me... Thank you DSW."

Too Narrow
"I own the clear and smoke gray flats and they fit perfectly. I had to return the pink flats - too narrow . It's a shame because they are really cute. It you have really narrow feet these might work for you."

Love these shoes!!
"These are perfect slip on sandals for the summer and much cuter than flip flops! They run slightly small so went up a half size and the fit is great. I bought them in pink and silver. Very fun shoes!"

Cute but narrow!
"I ordered these shoes online because I've been looking for a cute pair of jelly flats. These did not disappoint, they look even better in person. However they run VERY narrow, and I even have narrow feet and they are still too small. I've been trying to break them in around the house and they are getting a little better, but still are uncomfortable. Hopefully they will stretch by summer"
