SPRING GLEN- The world has lost a beautiful person, Frances (Dollie) Skriner Perri. How can a notice explain what a wonderful wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother Dollie was.

She was a lifelong resident of Carbon County and a member of the Catholic Church. Dollie enjoyed being with her friends and she loved to polka with Bill at the Slovenian Home. She was very creative with arts and crafts and she loved to go to the jeep races with her son. She loved camping, fishing, traveling and singing around the camp fire in Austrian. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her loving husband Bill, her devoted son Billy and his wife Kerry; grandchildren Alicia (Bill) Kelley, and Jalynn Snider; she has five great-grandchildren, Cassie Martin, Andie Kelley, McKenzie Kelley, Daniel Jay (DJ) Snider, BreAnna Snider; her sisters Zelpha Vuksinick, Antonia (Milan) Corak; brother, Henry (Nadine) Skriner; sister-in-law, Violet Skriner; many loving nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews; and a community of friends.

Numbers game
Robin Brownlee
March 07 2008 07:52PM
"Sorry, kid, No. 99 isn't available. And don't even ask about 11, 17, 7, 3 or 31. You'll take this one and you'll like it..." Edmonton Oilers' equipment man Sparky Kulchisky has handed out a lot of jerseys during his career, but he'd never hung up jersey No. 49 in a player's cubicle on game day until last night. Theo Peckham's first NHL game also marked a first in the numbers game for the Oilers. Peckham emerged from the tunnel against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena draped in No. 49, a number worthy of a training camp long shot if ever there was one. Peckham's the first to wear that digit in franchise history. No worries, though, the hulking 20-year-old rookie defenceman didn't look the least bit out of place paired with Denis Grebeshkov in a 2-1 overtime win over the Jackets. "It feels pretty good," said Peckham, who was recalled from Springfield of the AHL. "It's a big jump." In fact, Peckham's debut was rather eventful. Early on, he rode Columbus forward Andrew Murray hard into the crease and levelled Mathieu Garon—the coaches might want to cue up that 2006 playoff footage of Marc-Andre Bergeron and Andrew Ladd taking out Dwayne Roloson. No harm done on this bit of crease-crashing, though. Later, Peckham had Columbus tough guy Jared Boll blowing snot bubbles with a clean open-ice hit in front of the benches. Still in the second period, he got into a "Your momma" exchange in Garon's crease, pushing around Nikolai Zherdev like a school yard bully looking for lunch money. All in all, Peckham finished the night even with 18 shifts, 13:22 in ice time and two blocked shots. One oddity—for a number that's about as popular as the salad bar at a convention for reporters, Peckham wasn't alone last night. Dan Fritsche of the Jackets, who sent the game to OT with one second to go in regulation time, obviously lost a bet as well and wore No. 49. AND... No surprise Boll and Zack Stortini threw down and tossed 'em in this one. Boll leads the NHL with 23 fighting majors and Stortini sits third with 20 fighting majors. —Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m. on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
I can't tell you how cool it is to read Robin Browlnee game reviews containing the words "snot bubbles." This is how I want my sports to be - this site just got WAY cooler
I know others would like to know all about the game tonight, but this was exactly what I was looking for. I've kept my eye on Peckham since he was drafted and I've been continually impressed with his improvement. Like you say, he's still rough around the edges, but this guy is certainly someone to watch. I don't know what his career will end up like, but the Oilers could use another tough SOB defender.
I was somewhat disappointed the Oilers never went for Nick Petrecki at this last draft (similar style to Peckham), but the steady improvement in some of our prospects is great to see. Maybe it wasn't necessary for the Oilers to take Petrecki... Peckham's already done well enough to make it to play an NHL game. Good job Theo!
I didn't get to see the game last night, how did Pouliot play night? Did he look better than he his short stint at the start of the year?
Do you know where my car keys are? I can't find them anywhere. I know you don't know me, but I thought maybe you could help
Nice work Theo! F'n eh I like your hussle kiddo.
(clap...clap...clap, clap, clap,)
TR: I'm guessing Jess left them on the night table at Tom Brady's place.
Stortini doesn't fight so much as absorb punches. He shouldn't have to spend time in the penalty box for that... he's certainly not hurting anyone!
Oilers4lyfe: That would almost be an accurate statement if you posted it about three months ago. Did you actually watch the fight with Boll? Stortini clearly caught him with a free clean shots. I have never understood the dislike for a 4th line rookie who plays hard and will ALWAYS stick up for his team-mates. What is there to possibly dislike?
oilers4lyfe: Not sure if you're trying to be funny, but you haven't been paying attention if you think Stortini is a punching bag.
Bob Stauffer and I were more critical of Stortini early this season than anybody -- so much so the Oilers PR staff tried to tell us to lay off him -- but he's worked hard and grown into his role in the last two months.
He's never going to be an overpowering heavyweight like Georges, but he's an honest player who is willing to work and to learn. Let me tell you this: Ethan Moreau told me in a private conversation just last week that he has all the time in the world for Stortini because he works his butt off and he walks into the dressing room every day thrilled to be an Oiler.
Maybe think twice before dumping on a player like that for the sake of a lame attempt at being funny.
March 08 2008, 11:53AM
Theo: ya PECKHAM!!!! here's to a solid foundation for the OILERS on the blueline.... WRECKHAM!!!
get staois/MACt to teach him all about shot blockin.. and this kid will be FINE!!!!
Robin -
I have found my keys, thank you.
Additionally if Stortini is good enough for Moreau, he is good enough for me. Honestly, an endorsement like that from the Captain should shut a lot of people up in the Nation. There was a player a few years ago who came to the team and kind of sucked, but worked harder than anyone and he turned into Shaun Horcoff. And then he also cured the plague with his tears
snot bubbles,very cool
March 08 2008, 10:14PM
RB: I guess that conversation isn't quite that private anymore;)
RE: A conversation and shooting the breeze while sitting around as opposed to an on-record interview . . . shouldn't have used the word "private." It's not like Ethan and I were sharing a moment or anything, but you knew that, right?

comfy shoe, we will see
"Love the shoe so far. I don't like the little back strap. I fit a size 10 wide but the back strap keeps moving. I've tried moving it around and adjusting the straps but nothing is working. Besides, the strap, its a very cute and comfortable shoe that is simple yet a little glam."

Perfect jelly for the kid in you
"This is a sophisticated jelly for the kid in you! The gladiator detailing and color (I bought the black/smoke) make it versatile for all of your summer outfits. These are slightly long on my feet, and the toe bridge might bother some but the foot bed is comfortable and durable enough for a long walk on gravel or a bike ride. Will do me good this summer for sure!"

On the inconvenience and certainty of death.
As my doctor walks in he takes a looks at me and then at his chart and at me again, he remarks that I look quite young for may age. Then "can he guarantee me another five years as I've a 5-year plan?"
"Why don't you aim for ten, he asks amusingly?" "Can you certify that you'll be here," I ask? Then he turns philosophical and says, "nothing is certain."
"Except the certainty of death," I reply. But not certain as to its time and date," he says smartly. But insurance companies know and funeral directors are prepared. There's money in death as there is in taxes.
Later, I verify a saying about death and taxes. It is believed it was first said in "The Works of Benjamin Franklin," "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."*
In a line from Margaret Mitchell's book Gone With the Wind, 1936: she says, "death, taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them."* *(Google the Phrase Finder).
And this is the main problem, not its certainty but determination of a convenient time for death. It 's not like a doctor's appointment. And between the firmness of death's certainty and the date of the eventual event come numerous events and tasks in death's preparation, all uncertain.
This is the sort of talk that those in their eighties and nineties participate in. These are the thoughts that they must come to grips with, the hard certainty of death, the system breakdowns, against its nearness, its impact and all the loose ends, decisions and costs, all unknowns in view of a nearing certainty.

"these are definitely a looker, they're super high and make you walk with that umph. The only con is they're a little loose fitting around the ankle and with such a high heel it doesn't feel as secure as it could be. either way, i'm keeping them because it's not a big deal. I'm an 8.5 and mine fit slightly loose."

Flat Front Corduroy Pants
Treat Yourself To the Softest, Most Comfortable Corduroy Pants We Could Find
Flat Front Corduroy Pants
Treat Yourself To the Softest, Most Comfortable Corduroy Pants We Could Find
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 22 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Library Chick in SC So Comfy, but Problems Wonderful material and really good colors. Would like more color options next season. Very comfortable. But the sizes run SO Large. I ordered a 12 - I'm usually a 10, but I knew Corduroy (with Lots of Cotton!) always shrink. I wore a pair to work for "first wear," and the pants were dragging the ground by mid-day. Some elastic in the waistband is fine if I'd ordered down a size - maybe even 2 sizes, but as it stands, these pants are actually kind of hard to keep up. I'm thinking if I run them through the wash on hot and bake them in the dryer, I'll be golden. I hate to give up on such comfortable, well-made pants. I'll Follow Up if this works. I'm Hoping! (I have khaki & royal blue - grand colors!) March 19, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by EQ Decent fabric, poor detailing Been very happy with items ordered from VCS over the years. Not this time! Ordered several pairs in the size I often wear. Way too large, so returned them. I ordered one pair the next size smaller and the fit is okay except for the way too generous waist. I have taken up the waist which was complicated by the fact that TWO layer of corduroy fabric were used on the waistband, not just folded over, but as a separate strip. This results is a lump wad of fabric across the back. I will take out the inner layer of cord and sew in a lighter fabric. Probably should just have made pants from scratch! Where is Leon Levin when you need him? February 14, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cory Recommending with two caveats Great material, construction and color (beige) but it's always easier to shorten a garment than to lengthen it. Usually there is not enough material to lengthen it properly which is my first caveat...the pants are too short for me. The elastic in the back is a nice touch but there is too much of it. A shorter piece of elastic would have given me a better fit...the elastic gives too much fullness in the seat. Giving more dimensions in the description of the pants would have been helpful, i.e. the length of the pant legs (or inseam). January 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Grandma in GA Soft and Comfortable These are good everyday pants. They must run a little large though. I do not like tight clothes so it isn't a problem for me. The only thing that is a little troublesome is they have a gap in the back when I get up from a seated position. It might be because I need a smaller size. I purchased the tan and navy blue and they are both nice. Overall, I like them. January 18, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Sue 5+ Did not fit well The pants were size 10 petite. They were too big in the waist and too short in the length. The material was nice-a heavy corduroy and I liked the color. I did not return as it was too much trouble. I took the hem out to see if that will make them wearable. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Corduroy Love these pants! I love these pants. The fabric is great! I love the flat front and the elastic waist in the back. Great fit! My only suggestion is that I wish they came in brown and gray, and I wish that they had more black! November 21, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Ibuystuff Sizes Not Accurate but Nicely Made I wear a size 8 but this size 8 was huge, almost three inches too big in the waist and hips. Vermont Country Store customer service was great and told me I could try to wash them to see if they would shrink. I washed them in HOT water and then dried them on high. They shrunk a little, but not enough to fit. I therefore have to send them back. Judy, in customer service told me in the future I could call VCS and have customer service advise me on the fit of any article of clothing I want to purchase. That is great customer service! These pants washed up great, are soft, and seem to be made very well. Too bad they do not come in a size 6 or 4 or I would just exchange them. November 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by IrishOne Quality counts Pleased with fit and quality of these corduroy pants. will consider ordering different color. November 6, 2015

I'll be playing Benny Golson's 1962 quartet recording Free in tonight's Jazz a la Mode, a complement to last week's golden anniversary feature on Benny's Jazztet partner Art Farmer. Golson always brings Lucky Thompson to mind, and LT conjures Don Byas, who, having come to prominence in the early 40's, is at the top of this three-tenor lineage. Like Lester Young, the man he succeeded with Count Basie in 1941, Byas was a mature 27-year-old stylist by the time he began appearing on records. His debut with Basie, "Harvard Blues," contains one of the Swing Era's greatest solos in the blues idiom.
Like Byas, Thompson had an impressive harmonic command that was fully-formed by the mid-40's when he was in his early 20's. Check him out on this 1945 recording of "Cherokee" by George's Dukes and Duchess.
While both tenors had extensive big band experience and were rhythmically in tune with Swing Era values, they were highly regarded by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Byas was in Dizzy's groundbreaking bebop band with Oscar Pettiford, George Wallington, and Max Roach at the Onyx Club in 1944; Thompson recorded with Charlie Parker's Septet in 1946, Thelonious Monk's Sextet in '52, and shared the front line with Miles Davis on the trumpeter's classic recordings of "Walkin'" and "Blue'n'Boogie" in 1954.
Byas may have become a more celebrated figure had he remained in the States, but he joined the band that Don Redman brought to Europe in 1946 and never returned. After living in Paris for many years, he moved to Holland where he married, had a family, and died in 1972 at age 59. He recorded extensively during his first decade in Paris, and sounded great on a session that Cannonball Adderley produced on him and Bud Powell in 1961. But he was apparently embittered by his lack of acclaim, and felt slighted at not having been offered a job by Duke Ellington when Ben Webster left the band in 1943. (In looking over some notes of a conversation I had with Archie Shepp 30 years ago for last week's blog entry on Archie, I came upon a reference he made to sharing a place with Byas in the late 60's in Paris, and of a memorable night when the two tenors sat in with the Ellington orchestra on "C-Jam Blues.")
Perhaps it was his youthful command of sophisticated musical materials that earned Eli "Lucky" Thompson his nickname, but as his career unfolded it proved to be a misnomer. Despite the beauty and brilliance of his style, Thompson enjoyed little commercial success, and he became wary of the music business. As Ben Ratliff wrote in his New York Times obituary, "Fiercely intelligent, Mr. Thompson was outspoken in his feelings about what he considered the unfair control of the jazz business by record companies, music publishers and booking agents."
Thompson lived in France between 1956 and '62, then in Switzerland in the late '60's. In between these European sojourns, he made a couple of outstanding sessions for Prestige, including Lucky Strikes, and Happy Days Are Here Again. He taught at Dartmouth College in the early '70's, but by 1974 he began withdrawing from the music scene and from society at large. When I met Milt Jackson at a Modern Jazz Quartet concert at UMass in 1985, I immediately asked him about Lucky, whom he'd recorded with 30 years earlier for Savoy and Atlantic. Bags referred me to John Lewis, who said that he'd encountered Lucky in Seattle but that he was despondent and no longer interested in playing music. By the time of his death in 2005 at age 81, the Times reported that he'd spent the preceding decades "mostly living in the woods or in shelter offered by friends. He did not own a saxophone. He walked long distances, and was reported to have been in excellent, muscular shape." The caption in the clip below mentions Alzheimer's.
In 2009, Uptown Records brought out of pair of dates on Lucky Thompson, New York City, 1964-65, the first a Little Theater concert featuring LT's compositions and arrangements for an octet; the latter an aircheck from the Half Note with a version of Tadd Dameron's "Lady Bird" that makes for essential listening. Yesterday I found this footage of Lucky playing "I'll Remember April," and noted that it was posted to YouTube a year ago and so far only 586 people have viewed it. Then in the right-hand column I spotted a YouTube of Nina Simone singing "Love Me or Leave Me," which has been viewed over a million times. Not to take anything away from Nina, who like Lucky was a troubled soul, but the disparity in viewership struck me as consistent with the profoundly unlucky life of Lucky Thompson.

Edan Qian has been surprised during his year in China under The Language Flagship. A biology major at the University of Oregon (UO), he knew that his program of study would include advanced language and direct enrollment studies at Nanjing University, as well as an internship in his field where he would experience culture and language in a real Chinese professional setting. What he did not realize was how well the UO Chinese Flagship Program had prepared him for his studies overseas, or how the Chinese Overseas Flagship Program would present unexpected opportunities to engage in Chinese beyond the classroom and workplace.
Edan's psychology course at UO, taught in Chinese for Flagship students, used many terms that would help him directly enroll in neurobiology and a cellular microbiology courses at Nanjing University. His studies in the UO Chinese Flagship Program also taught him learning strategies to identify appropriate resources to help him manage unfamiliar vocabulary and situations. Edan's Chinese roommate while in Nanjing, a requirement for Flagship students, was a chemistry major who not only provided tutoring, but also offered opportunities to learn more about Chinese culture, society, and technology.
The required internship phase of the overseas Flagship took Edan to Shanghai to work in a biotech company that provides services to international pharmaceutical companies. Though the four-month internship delayed his return to UO to complete his studies, the invaluable experience helped Edan understand how a company such as this one operates both inside and outside of the laboratory. As in his classes at Nanjing University, Edan found comfort in having learned many of the terms used in the workplace during his earlier Flagship studies.
An avid skateboarder, Edan pursued his hobby while in Nanjing to practice Chinese and expand his knowledge about China. He met local Chinese people outside of the academic setting, including a professional photographer for sporting goods companies who invited him to major skateboard competitions in China and introduced him to people in the industry. Through this connection, a sporting goods company offered Edan a second internship helping to plan promotional events and competitions during the weekends. He credits The Language Flagship with providing an opportunity to study in Nanjing, combine his academic and personal interests, and propel him to the next steps in becoming a global professional.
The Language Flagship is an ambitious effort to empower an expanding group of colleges and universities that are implementing new models of language learning to produce college graduates with professional level (ILR 3, ACTFL Superior) proficiency. Flagship Programs set high expectations for participating students of all majors. Regardless of their disciplines, students make language and culture an integral part of their undergraduate academic pursuit. The Language Flagship produces global professionals through intensive language instruction in a U.S. university; rigorous, advanced language and culture immersion overseas; direct enrollment in a foreign university offering courses in their field; and in-country professional internships.

A recent tour given by Howard Tuttle of the Johansen and Tuttle Engineering Company provided the following information on the Adobe Wash dam. The Cottonwood Creek Irrigation Company, Johansen and Tuttle Engineering and Nielson Construction are close to finishing the Adobe Wash dam, along the Coal Haul Road, West of Orangeville and South of the XTO Company. There is a large crew of workers and many kinds of trucks, backhoes, graders, and other kinds of equipment being used to complete this project.
The Adobe Wash dam is expected to be completed by December 1. The dry weather this fall has been very helpful. Cottonwood Creek Irrigation Company is building the Adobe Wash dam to supply pressurized water in pipelines to the farms and gardens that now use flood irrigation. Those farms will be able to install pressurized sprinkler systems for more efficient crop growth. Orangeville City will also benefit as Orangeville's secondary water system will be connected to pressurized water coming from the Adobe Wash dam. It is anticipated that the pipelines carrying water to the users will save approximately 30 percent of the water which has been lost in the past due to evaporation and seepage out of the canal walls.
A portion of the Cottonwood Creek water will flow from the diversion dam in Cottonwood Creek into a canal past control gates, trash collecting screens and into a 63 inch pipeline. That pipe will carry the water to the Adobe Wash

Triple murder victims' family still in disbelief
Mark Roderick and Toby Barnes still are in disbelief that Harry Mapps could've done what he is alleged to have done.
Mark Roderick is the husband of Dawn Roderick. Barnes is the son of Reginald and Kim Tuttle and older brother of Dawn.
All three were shot multiple times at their home in Rye before the house was set on fire on the morning of Nov. 27.
Last week the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office announced it has obtained a new warrant for the arrest of Mapps on three charges of first-degree murder and one charge of arson related to the deaths of Dawn Roderick and the Tuttles. An original warrant for the arrest of Mapps was for identity theft and forgery. Mapps is one of the most wanted fugitives in the country, Kirk Taylor, Pueblo County sheriff, said last week.
"I thought I knew him," Barnes said. "He was a family friend. My dad put him to work several times, he hunted with us, we did a lot together. I personally knew him for over 20 years. I don't know why he would do such a thing. I'm heartbroken and in disbelief."
Barnes was in Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and two children, when he heard the news on Nov. 27. He rushed home that night and he, his wife and children are now living with Mark Roderick and his three children at a home in Pueblo West.
"He was a friend. He was supposed to be a friend," Mark Roderick said. "You just don't understand why he could do something like this to people he personally told me he loved."
The Tuttles were letting Mapps live in their Rye home and Mapps worked for Reginald. In the days before the triple homicide and house fire, Reginald Tuttle had asked Mapps to move out at least in part because Mapps drank a bottle of Crown Royal that Reginald had purchased for himself, according to Mark Roderick. Reginald Tuttle had made it clear to Mapps that if he was going to live at his house, he couldn't drink any alcohol as he's had drinking problems in the past.
A nationwide search is underway for Mapps.
Mark Roderick said Mapps' capture is important for the family to heal and pleaded for him to turn himself in to the authorities.
"He needs to turn himself in," he said. "When he's captured and convicted, I want to be able to sit down when they get ready to sentence him and hold up the family portrait we have and ask why he did that to my kids ... why he took their mother. Dawn's not going to be able to see her daughter walk down the aisle. Those two boys are never going to be able to know really how to interact with people without being guarded because of what he did.
"What he did was selfish and cowardly. Instead of him walking away because he screwed up, he took the life of my kids and that's the hardest thing for me right now."
Barnes said Mapps' capture would bring a sense of closure to him.
"Knowing he's no longer on the run and that he can't do this anymore to other families would bring closure," he said. "He's put a big hurt on this family. We all want him caught and want him brought to justice for what he's done."
Barnes said he can't see himself ever forgiving Mapps.
"I'll personally never forgive him. Other family members might but I can't find it deep down inside of my heart to forgive him," he said. "Why did he do such an awful thing? Why couldn't he just man up and leave and find another place to stay and work?"

The Historical Origins, Convergence and Interrelationship of International Human Rights Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Criminal Law and Public International Law and Their Application from at Least the Nineteenth Century
Jeremy Sarkin
University of South Africa
November 20, 2008
Human Rights and International Legal Discourse, Vol. 1, 2007
Hofstra Univ. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 08-24
The emergence and scope of international law, whether in treaties or in customary international law, is especially relevant to those seeking reparations for atrocities committed against indigenous populations during colonization.
This article examines the origins, interrelationship, and dimensions of international law, the law of armed conflict, international human rights law, and international criminal law. It explores the time when these legal regimes came into being and when the protections accorded by them against various types of conduct became available.
It is submitted that by the turn of the twentieth century many of these laws were already available and in force. While it is commonly held that international protections against human rights violations were activated in the post-World War II era, they actually were accessible much earlier.
A specific focus of this article is the Martens Clause adopted into the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. The Martens Clause it is argued constitutes one of the origins of international human rights law in the positivistic sense, and is considered applicable to the whole of international law, and has indeed shaped the development of customary international law. It will be shown that the Martens Clause is a specific and recognized provision giving protection to groups and individuals during both war and peace time.
A further focus of this article is the origins and interconnectedness of concepts such as crimes against humanity and genocide. This article looks as the origins of these notions. It argues that they are tied to the origins of international human rights law and finds they existed at least in the ninetieth century, if not before.

Cute in Color but not what expected.
"It may just be me, but in my opinion they look better in picture than in person. What I mean is that they look more comfortable on picture than what they really are in person. Got the PURPLE color since I thought they were so cute. They are! BUT for me if was so uncomfortable to walk in it was too high & the cuff part bothered the front part of my leg. Is just a return for me. Maybe this shoe is for ppl that can rock the high heel!! But not so comfy for me. (Size 5.5)"

Beautiful Boot!!!
"But top scraped up my legs even with socks on. I wish the stuffing used at top of boot had been more cylindrical shaped instead of 2 flat pieces of cardboard. It caused the opening to be an unnatural elongated shape. Going to return. Very well made and loved the height of heel!"

Emery J. Durand passed away Oct. 2, 2010 with the same grace that he lived his life. He was born Nov. 22, 1922 in Huntington, Utah to Louis and Louise Durand.
He proudly served his country in the Navy during WW II in the South Pacific.
He married Dorothy Mathie in the 1940s, later divorced. He married Thelma Rhinehart in 1967, she passed away in 2005.
He had a very distinguished career with Boeing in Seattle, Wash; Wichita, Kansas and Huntsville, Ala. where he was instrumental in engineering Saturn V, the moon mission, at NASA.
It's difficult to eulogize Emery, for the attributes are far too many to list for such a gifted and extraordinary man. He had an extremely large family and circle of friends. Through his integrity, intelligence, sense of fairness, sense of humor and undiminished capacity to love he was able to touch, change and give all of us lucky enough to have been a part of his life a great and lasting gift. He didn't push from behind or race ahead. He walked next to you. He would listen and offer quiet, sound advice; letting you know that you had one who loved and supported you right by your side.
He was preceded in death his parents; his wife, Thelma; his brother, Fred; granddaughter, Lisa and son Robert Rhinehart. He is survived by his children: Jim (Barbara) Durand, Ferron, Utah; Diane (Dave) Smith, Ala; Dwight (Martina) Overstreet, Ala, June Little, Tenn; 13 grandchildren and many great and great, great grandchildren; sisters: Marie Lott, Price, Utah and Isabelle Oveson, Huntington, Utah.
We will use him as an example to help enrich our lives. We will keep him in our hearts.

The trail, which winds through seven towns, even touches upon a handful of ghost towns that faded into the landscape after the trains here stopped running.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois.

Seems like we got some early spoilers ^^

Alright, I'm paraphrasing this spoiler (as opposed to translating it) for easy reading. Validity in question, of course, until we get images, but currently this is the one looking most credible at 2ch.
According to the spoiler, Jiraiya does appear briefly in the chapter, but most of it is composed of Pain's flashbacks, which tell his origin.
The spoiler alleges that Pain is an "artificial psychic entity" created by a previous civilization. Think "mind without body", like in ghost in the shell. Pain is self-aware, so he's not a machine. He's existed for 1000 years. Many other "artificial entities" were created by these ancients, but only Pain was self-aware and only he survives.
Psychic entity in this case means a mind which does not need a body to exist; thus, he's incorporeal.
Being incorporeal, he can switch between bodies at will. He has six, which are made to look like humans but are in fact highly soffisticated puppets (I don't know why the spoiler doesn't flat out call them robots, but whatever). The body he transfered to last chapter is a black haired individual.
Pain's bodies were created specifically to - get this - fight Bijuu.
The highly advanced civilization which created Pain was destroyed by the Bijuu, which the spoiler provider says looked much more fearsome in the flashback than they do now. The only ruins of the ancient civilization are in Amegakure (which would explain the tall buildings and funky architecture).Originally Posted by ShadowStrikeVerification: Pending

I've got one from my japanese GE guild members. We won't be able to confirm it until we see therpictures but here it is what he described briefly over pm:
The two underdog nins are freed by Jiraiya for unimportant reasons...
One of Konan butterflies spots Jiraiya and the rest comes to encircle him...
Konan reforms herself and seems to form a seal... Jiraiya says something like you're one of the main members so you will know about pein if i capture you..
Hanzou appears from the background and says no jiraiya won't be doing that to her..
Konan acknowledges it's actually Pein *seems like pein woken up Hanzou's body*
*my friend says how pein killed hanzou is a surprise and wont tell me more on it*
he added the chapter ends with Sasuke and gang reaching uchiha hideout where kisame reminds sasuke to go in alone while he keep the rest company outside...
We'll be able to confirm this soon when we get pictures, i guess.

-Jiriaya finishes asking the two shinobi questions and has the frog spit them out
-The more loyal shinobi(that didn't talk) wants to go warn pain via one of pain's proxies, but the other is fearful of Pain's wrath. They get into an argument that is observed by one of konnon's butterflies.
-Jiraiya watches the two shinobi to see if they will lead him to the proxy, but as soon as the shinobi are about to leave they bleed from their eyes and fall over dead
-Pain appears on the river edge and tells Jiraiya to come out, he also tells him that he will be going after naruto now and that if he wants to stop him now's his chance
-Jiraiya's frog jumps out of the water trying to eat Pain, but Pain uses some unkown ninjutsu and blackfire engulfs the frog incinerating it(i don't know if this is ameretsu or some new ninjutsu)

Pain, descendant of the famous shinobi family, "Fuuma."
It apears the Fuuma clan's been around for over 500 years.
The leader of the Fuuma clan's body is left to future generations.
Pain, the body with beads all over his face, is the current leader and
The body he's just transfered to is that of the Fourth generation Fuuma leader, "Fuuma Kuuza."
jiraiya: さすがに分が悪いのぅ。』とかやや引け腰
Jiraiya says something like "Well, I'm clearly at a disadvantage," and cowers.
Jiraiya gets in touch with a friend he made on one of his journeys, "The wandering Shinobi, Kagemaru,"
Scene changes to Sasuke.
They ask him something like "where are we going now?"
"The uchiha hideout in the vicinity of Konoha. Though now it's in ruins."
あぁ…サスケの故郷にいけるなんて…いよいよ私とサスケの夫婦生活も間近ね♪)と妄想モード全 開
Aa...to be able to visit Sasuke's home town...finally, our life as husband and wife draws near! (she's in complete fantasy mode).
Still, things have gone a little too smoothly. The animals seem very tranquil themselves.
向かう先に『殺意』があれば動物達 はそれを報せてくれる。本当にそこにサスケの兄はいるのか?
If there's killing intent at our destination, the animals will let us know. Will Sasuke's brother really be there.
嘘をついてまで誘うような奴じゃない。きっと何かしら起こるだろう…。各自 しっかり用心と覚悟はしておけ
He's not the kind of guy to make a false invitation. You can be sure something's gonna happen. Each of you, I want caution and resolve.
Oh, I'm far more interested Samehada than Sasuke's brother. As long as I get it, I'm happy.
Scene changes to someone who is most likely Kagemaru.
Oh, from Jiraiya-san! It's been a long time since he last sent me a letter.
A frog carrying a letter in its mouth approaches Kagemaru. From his silhouette and speech pattern he gives off the impression that he's young. We don't see his face.
Next time: Naruto doesn't come out! (laugh).
