Xbox 360 loaded with glitz
Last week, Microsoft unveiled its Microsoft 360 machine on an MTV special, just days before Sony released details on PlayStation 3.
Nintendo should be dropping details on its new next-gen console soon so gamers can start saving their pennies -- or writing really, really nice notes to Santa.
Microsoft will get the jump on its competition when it delivers its new unit for the holiday season. This week we'll discuss Xbox 360. Next week, we'll cover the new Sony unit, due out early in 2006.
Microsoft's new toy creates game graphics that make today's games look like Pong or the original Sega Genesis games. The realism is amazing, and opponents of violent video games will now confront a new series of Grand Theft Auto titles that look more like real life than before.
Xbox 360 will have what Bill Gates' folks are calling the "greatest game lineup in the history of video games when it launches in North America, Europe and Japan this Christmas holiday." Those include: 2K Sports' NBA 2K6; Activision's Call Of Duty 2; and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, plus EA Sports Madden NFL 06 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06.
The machine features a wireless controller and an array of interchangeable faceplates that let gamers personalize their consoles.
Every 360 game is designed for HDTV widescreen displays but will work with standard televisions as well. I won't bore you with tech specs. Just know that the 360 is more powerful than most any home computer and features software that Microsoft claims remembers what gamers have achieved in different games.
Connect Xbox 360 to a broadband connection and get instant access to Xbox Live Silver, available for no monthly service charge. Players can connect with friends through voice chat; send and receive text messages; and download demos and trailers to an included detachable hard drive -- along with new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, skins, classic arcade and card and board games. If you subscribe to the premium Xbox Live Gold service, you also get multiplayer game play and Gamer Profiles that allow players of similar skill levels and interests to quickly and easily connect.
A new camera will let gamers add their faces into games and see their friends while they play. Other Xbox Live Gold features for premium members include video messaging; online tournaments and ladders; and exclusive, original programming such as playing with celebrities online or joining sponsored tournaments to win prizes.

see now thats exactly what i'm asking
what makes a game "fun to play, good, sell" (not so much sell)?
now you said something challenging but still beatable.
well that can be most any game if you turn the difficulty up or down
maybe im making this too broad for you guys.
how about this
what makes an individual genres good?
for instance:
RPG's are good when they take up to so many hours to complete
FPS games are good when they have high replay-ability
so let's hear it now
preferably someone besides just me and jetfan115 should speak up
and then jetfan115 dont tell them their opinion sucks as soon as they do
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:01 PM
Anyway the appeal of the genre is simple
RPG- good because some make you use your mind, lots to do. Lots of hours to beat them. Aloows you to decide how your character is and how the story progresses.
FPS- good for xbox live play. I'm not big on the genre so I don't see the appeal in the story modes
Sports- simple. Play with your friends or online. Never beat it. All diff types
Action. Quick reflexes and master the fighting system. Fun to play but little replay value and usually short or repetitive.
I guess that's what your looking for
Did u read the xbox360 specs?
And as far as the selling to good thing here is proof
Brittany spears is a horrible singer but has sold way more then singers 10x better so like I said being popular and being good are 2 different things.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:02 PM
now before we go proclaiming them as the uber master general of all games, i think we should wait for the specs of the other systems
i especially like the 9 billion dot product operations per second
dot products represent matricies
matricies represent joints such as an elbow knee or any kind of mechanical object in motion
i also like the floating point performance
1 teraflop! holy shit!
again an explaination
floating points represent decimals on an equation
with a teraflop of power behind it there should be seamless graphics; not a polygon out of place anywhere more than (without doing any math) .00000000000000000000000000000001 of a unit on a grid
i also like their hyper-thread technology for the three cores
i am worried about their progressive scanning capapbilities (slow load times)
and their sound sounds only at par
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:11 PM
if it plays the way it is seen in real life then that sport game has achieved its goal
dont forgte fighting games
for them its replay replay replay
they can get away with a weak story (guilty gear) as long as you can keep beating the tar out of your friends
action is a tough one cause its a big genre
challenging reflexes is usually good but what about splinter cell? not exactly a reflex game
racing is what kills me though
and it's what makes me think twice about a lot of games and what makes them fun
you can have games like nascar thunder, irl gt4, etcetera that are realistic too the core
but then also have games like mario kart and f-zero (sorry for the strickly nintendo reference) that aren't anywhere near real
and you can have a blast on both
....stupid racing
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:13 PM
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:19 PM
P.S. i am a console programmer as well
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:25 PM
there is one. There is also one on IGN.com
and a yahoo one on the xbox 360.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:25 PM
xbox was the intruder and got a lot of shit from many gamers because they thought "microsoft has no place in this industry"
rightfully so
they never made any software or hardware for gaming before-hand
they were the snot-nosed little kids of the industry
nowadays they are not completely accepted (and never will be) but xbox has come a long way in tolerance from the other companies
xbox is the...lav coles of gaming.
puched around "you cant do jack shit in the nfl" kinda thing, then proved himself as an elite receiver
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:38 PM
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:48 PM
in lamense terms:
xbox is fat with a high top-end speed
ps3 is sleek and streamlined
xbox definitely has a superior processor that is a glaring void left by sony
ps3 has more polygonial power and precision with twice the floating point speed as the 360
in my opinion both would be a fantastic investment
these specs are incredible! i can't wait to play games on them
here's my problem with xbox
it's too much like a computer
what's to stop anyone from buying a computer with the same specs and then getting more bang for their buck?
here's my beef with ps3
it doesnt seem like they didnt go all out like they should have
i can't put my finger on it but something about them seems lazy
if they're not careful they may find themselves on the bottom of the console totem pole
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:55 PM
but i just can't forsee history repeating itself on nintendo
it looks like they are running along with sony and microsoft
they should have a machine just as powerful as both of them
of course there is an industry outside of america
and Japan loves nintendo still
they dont even know what an xbox is there hahaha (not really)
if it wasnt for the competition revolution wouldnt be as good you say?
your point?
all that matters is the facts
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:57 PM
Posted 20 May 2005 - 01:00 PM
Starting after all machines were on the market 6 months. Xbox took a big chunk of son'ys margin and cut it lower each month. Not bad for an introductory system. CG couldn't even compete in sales with the other 2.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 01:02 PM
unless you've got awesome hardware hook-ups. and if so. can i be your friend.
but you're right with the reason of xbox only game
i've heard nothing but good things from jade empire. if i can find someone who has it ill play it just for you.

Nothing lives in this water; no fish, algae or mollusks. The closest American parallel is the Great Salt Lake, which also features spectacular saline formations. With a greater solid content than any other body of water - 30% compared to about 6% solids in ocean water a uniquely dense combination of potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride and bromides has formed. Ocean salt is more than 97% sodium chloride, but Dead Sea Salt has a very low concentration of sodium chloride, and a high proportion of magnesium and potassium.

|In response to Re: Lake Water Pump Blows Line
: Just installed a sprinkler system in my lakefront property that works great until it shuts off. When it
: shuts down the rubber coller I used to connect the pump inlet to the line to the lake ballons up then pops
: off from the pressure.
: Stats:
install a check valve on the discharge side of the pump . This will prevent the head pressure from the sprinkler system to back up and overpressure your connection. OR you could put a valve in the discharge pipe and simply close the valve at the time you cut off the pump. Leave the check/foot valve on the suction side of pump so the pump will remain primed

While they say that practice makes perfect, the Eldorado girls' golf team knows that they weren't perfect Monday at the IHSA Class A Teutopolis Sectional, but the practice put in sure did pay off.
The Eagles went up to Effingham Country Club to play a practice round Saturday and elected to stay over the weekend, taking advantage of conditions Sunday to get plenty of time on the range and putting green.
For their efforts, Eldorado finished third with a 364 to advance to the IHSA Class A State Tournament for the first time in school history.
A year ago, the Eagles missed out on a state berth by four strokes. Eldorado wasn't going to let history repeat itself.
"It didn't hurt that we took advantage of an extra practice day," head coach Greg Goodley said. "The greens were so fast that the opportunity for us to practice for two days certainly helped."
Goodley added that his Eagle bunch were the only team Sunday on the course, getting a good read for how greens were going to roll.
"Anything we could have done to help us (Monday), I felt like we did. We chipped, we pitched, we putted. This is something that these girls have talked about for over a year now. Monday they kept their composure and put themselves in a situation to succeed."
Individually for the Eagles, Ashton Goodley shot a 79 to finish fourth overall. Taylor Goodley fired an 81, while Taylor Aldridge shot a 99. Ashton Unthank rounded out the top four for Eldorado after carding a 105.
"Ashton (Goodley) got back in the hunt this year after missing out on going to state by a stroke last year," Goodley said. "She showed a lot of maturity and played solid and consistent. She just played a smart round.
Ashton Goodley shot a 39-40, while twin sister Taylor shot a 42-39, providing her coach to commend her on her performance.
"She started out shaky, but when you look at what she was able to do on the backside, turning things around the way she did, under that situation and pressure is really good. I can'
I can't say enough about the way Taylor Aldridge and Ashton Unthank. They really both dug down deep and gave us a good score to work with. Neither one of those two were real happy with their scores at the regional and made the necessary corrections and adjustments to put us in contention."
The other two team's to make it out of the sectional were Massac County (343) and Nashville (357).
Nashville's Shawn Rennegarbe took overall medalist honors with a 74.
Harrisburg freshmen Alexa Burtis shot a 60-55-115 and did not advance to state as an individual.
IHSA Class 2A Boys' Sectional
Page 2 of 2 - At Hickory Ridge in Carbondale, Bulldog senior Alexander Tison missed out on a state tournament berth after shooting an 83. Tison shot a 40 on the front and finished out with a 43. A round of 76 was the highest score to advance to the state tournament.

Nice quality pumps with unique look
"It's hard for me to find closed-toe pumps that are comfortable and of high quality. These shoes fit the bill. I got the beige and chocolate ones and I really like how they look. The chocolate is a rich dark brown (almost looks black). The beige is a warmer beige with more yellow than white in it (so it looks like true beige, not nude or tan). The serrated effect reminds me of men's wing tip shoes. I don't think these shoes will ever go out of style."

Ireland moved up two places in the IRB World Rankings following their 40-9 win over Samoa, with the result seeing them sit in sixth spot.
Ireland moved up two places in the World Rankings after their 40-9 victory over Samoa, with the result seeing them sit in sixth spot on Monday.
The margin of victory was enough to not only lift Ireland above Samoa but also Wales, albeit only by five hundredths of a rating point after the Welsh fell to a 24-15 defeat against the Springboks
This defeat means Wales have now gone 17 Tests without beating either the Springboks, Wallabies or All Blacks.
The win means South Africa narrow the deficit slightly to New Zealand above them with the All Blacks due to celebrate four years atop the IRB World Rankings on 16 November.
France's 26-19 defeat by New Zealand has not proven too costly for Les Bleus, who maintain their spot but with a lower rating point total. The All Blacks are again unchallenged at top spot with a slightly improved rating.
Australia remain fourth after the 50-20 win over Italy but improve their total by half a point thanks to the try-fest in Turin.
England and Argentina began the weekend third and tenth respectively in the world and are unchanged despite the home side's 31-12 victory at Twickenham.
Scotland stay ninth after their 42-17 win over Japan, but with an improved points rating, and the vanquished Brave Blossoms rise one place to fourteenth as a result of Canada's 19-15 loss to Georgia in Tbilisi.
Portugal hosted Fiji in Lisbon but endured a try count of six to one as the visitors ran up a 36-13 result to climb one place to twelfth with the Portuguese remaining 22nd.
Tonga fall two places to thirteenth after a last minute penalty by Florin Vlaicu secured a 19-18 win for the seventeenth ranked Romanians in Bucharest, a result which benefits Italy who, despite the loss to the Wallabies, rise a place to eleventh
The wins over higher ranked opponents did not result in positional gains for Georgia or Romania, but they improved their ratings by 1.2 and 1,56 points respectively. Canada, though, fall one place to fifteenth.
Their fellow North Americans were in action with the USA losing 29-19 to the Maori All Blacks, but only matches between the national teams of two IRB Full Member Unions count towards the rankings.

Thinking about starting your own business? If so, an incubator might be the best way to help your company get off the ground.
See also: 5 businesses you can start.
The concept is simple: Incubators — usually nonprofits supported by economic-development organizations — help launch businesses by offering shared work space (often at below-market rates), tools, resources and training in the form of classes and seminars.
To join an incubator, prospective tenants typically must submit business plans, and they are expected to graduate in three to five years. By nursing baby businesses through their perilous startup period, supporters of incubators aim to boost local employment and earn back the investment when successful companies take off.
"The concept has grown steadily since the 1980s, when they first became popular," says Linda Knopp, director of policy analysis and research for the National Business Incubation Association.
Today, 1,250 incubators exist nationwide, says Knopp, located in both urban and rural areas. "There's been more interest in business incubators over the past four or five years, as communities and organizations look for ways to spur business growth and create jobs."
Rising role for older entrepreneurs
Fueling that entrepreneurial spirit are people older than 50, says Michael Chodos, associate administrator for entrepreneurial development at the Small Business Administration (SBA). "The fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs today is between ages 44 and 59," he says.
According to a March report from the Kauffman Foundation, new businesses led by members of the 55-to-64 age demographic have grown steadily, from 14.3 percent in 1996 to 20.9 percent in 2011. Boomers, observes Chodos, have the income, connections and experience they need to take a risk.

Looks great but lacks comfort
"Perhaps the shoe runs a little long and hence I found myself having to dig my toes in to prevent the shoe from falling off. At the end of a work day, my big toes and balls of my feet felt sore. Might have fitted me better if I had bought a size smaller."

Long and wide heel
"I always wear a 7 1/2 and ordered these online. They are super cute and would probably be very comfortable if they fit. But they are about 1/2 inch too long and my heel slips out each step I take! Going to exchange for a size 7 and hopefully they fit. It's hard to fins a nude peep toe that is comfortable with a low heel, that looks professional."

"These shoes are amazingly comfortable and so cute. The heel was a smidge wide, but an inexpensive heel guard in the back made them perfect. Tons of compliments and the platform makes the heel negligible while still giving a nice height boost. I only wish they came in some more/ bolder colors and patterns."

"I go between a 6 and 6.5 and saw a pair of 6.5 on clearance. They were too long, but calling me enough to go online and order one of the last 6s. So glad I did! They fit me nearly perfectly and I can't wait to wear them. The heel height is perfect. I'm pretty petite, so the slightly long and narrow are just general. I got it in a burgundy, which will match many things well, but wish it also came in a brighter red. Classic!"

I have had some amazing moments in my life, being born in May 1994 was OK, meeting
The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Pete Doherty in June 2007 at Glastonbury, UK was inspirational, meeting Tinchy Stryder and Ironik in July 2012 at Laganas, Zante, Greece was even more inspirational, meeting Rizzle Kicks in November 2012 in Swindon, UK was just incredible, by a country mile the best moment of my life though was meeting Jahmene Douglas and Nicole Scherzinger on December 5th 2012.
Jahmene came to my home town of Swindon and not only do I think he will win the X Factor, but the guy has a voice better then Leona Lewis and a career ahead of him bigger then Will Young's, him and Nicole turned the Christmas lights on in Swindon and Jahmene filmed me on his camera as I waved to him and gave him a sign which symbolizes "X Factor" he sung At Last originally a number 39 hit for in the UK for Etta James, Tears Dry On There're Own originally a number 16 hit in the UK for Amy Winehouse, Aint No Mountain High Enough originally a number 6 hit in the UK for Diana Ross and Angels originally a number 4 hit in the UK for Robbie Williams.
His singing was in a class of it's own, but Angels was particularly inspiring as I sung a selection of Robbie Williams songs at The Venue in Porta Del Carmen, Lanzarote, Spain in September 2011 with my Mum and Grandad, the croud particularly liked Angels though when I sung it.
Jahmene Douglas performance was inspirational and although he will be a tough act to follow, I have promised at least 2 people crowd that I will sing on the X Factor next year in 2013, so as long as there're is a X Factor for me to audition on next year I will be at the auditions next year.
That is a promise, how ever the people reading this mean a lot to me so let me know what you think of my version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vn1Z...ature=youtu.be of Robbie Williams - Angels, thanks from Jake :-)

Cute Bootie but not comfy for me
"Since I think this is a very nice-looking bootie, I would recommend it to a friend if it fits comfortably. Although many women find this adorable boot comfortable to wear, I found that the foot-print of the arch is too narrow; therefore, the support provided is not placed comfortably in the arch area of my foot. It feels almost as though there is a small golf ball in the middle of my foot. I usually wear an 8 or 8-1/2 in boots and I found the length and width of the 8-1/2 to fit well. In all, I wish they felt more comfortable in the arch as they are a well-made, stylish boot. I like the warm shade of medium brown leather, the height of the heel and the buckles which would otherwise make this bootie a great addition to my wardrobe."

Okay, so it's no longer fine to sport MC Hammer pants, decorate your window ledge with troll figurines or blast the Spice Girls' first album out of your car window without causing folk to LOL - but with today's deal, you can rock a little something that's as acceptable now as it was in the 90s...
We're offering you a 4GB mixtape memory card USB for just £10, saving you 44% off Midasity's price of £17.99 (correct as of 6.2.14).
This cool little gadget will take you back to a time when David Beckham was nothing but a greasy-locked lad with a keen left foot and Geri Halliwell was still bagging number one singles.

It also comes in a choice of four brilliant colours: black (like the tapes you used to record the Top 40 onto); bright orange (like the hair of your one-time favourite troll doll); beige (the shade of your erstwhile favourite sweet treat, the Caramac), or red (just like the colour of 90210 star Jennie Garth's favourite shoulder-padded suit jacket). Why not snap up all four colours if you can't choose? Because, unlike in the '90s, these days you don't have to wait for your pocket money to treat yourself!

My 3 year old has been taking her feces and smearing it everywhere (she has even put it in her mouth. It has happened 5 days in a row now. The first three day I explained how it was not Ok, and that she would need to tell us when she had "poop" in her diaper. She continued to do it, and yesterday I put all her toys in another room for a few hours. I do not like punishing..... and I typically let allow her to do quite a bit, but we draw the line at things that are harmful to herself or others. I was hoping she would not do it today and she did. I lost it, I did not hit her or anything but I yelled pretty loud. I feel absolutely horrible, but I was just so upset. I apologized to her, but I feel guilty. I do not know what else to do so I am hoping I could get some advice. I also worry about her speech. She comprehends about 60 or 70 percent of what we are saying and that worries me also. I think this makes communicating with her very difficult. Please, any advice would be appreciated.

It's understandable that you were upset. Can you identify why she's doing this? Is she in diapers? Is this happening when she uses the potty? What's going on around that time?
As for the speech, have you talked with your pediatrician? You say you worry about her speech but then you say her comprehension concerns you. Receptive language and expressive language are two different things. How do you know she's comprehending 60-70 percent? Have you had her assessed? Do you think she's frustrated in her inability to communicate and is then acting out by smearing her poop around?
This sounds like a really hard thing to deal with! I have no idea what I would do in this situation. I recently saw a post from another mama who had experienced something similar and I was amazed at how she was able to keep her cool.
Do you have any idea why she may be doing it? If it's just because she wants to explore, can you try some alternative like letting her get really messy outside in some mud? Or could she be stressed about something?
No fun! I think I would probably try to have as little reaction as possible. It may be the fact that you get frantic about it that makes it so appealing. I would say something like "we don't play with poop, it's not clean, now let's go clean up.... I have an idea, if you want to play with something mushy we could do play dough or play in the mud etc...." I think that sometimes our little ones are just fascinated at how their actions can cause us to react... or maybe they are just fascinated with poop I hope this is a fast phase for you but in the meantime, I would try to make your reaction as calm/quiet and confident as you can.

Sexy State of Mind
"These boots work great for me when I'm adding a touch of sexy to a goth or punk look. I normally hate pull on boots but these are effortless to slip into. I'd be disappointed if I'd bought these boots thinking they were made for walking, but being a heel slight discomfort goes with the territory, and because these boots are a bit narrow for my wide, flat feet I get it, but a little discomfort is worth the feeling I get when wearing these boots and all the compliments that follow!"

Emery County Board of Commissioners met May 8. The first item approved was that of nine volunteers to work for the Emery County Libraries. Randon Timothy was promoted to Corrections Officer II from grade 15 to Grade 16, for completion of POST. The Commission ratified a letter from the county agreeing to a partnership with Utah State Parks and Manti-La-Sal Forest Service in the construction of trail head parking at the mouth of Engineer and Horse Canyon along with the construction of a new non-motorized trail.
Mike McCandless gave some background from the view of the Trails Committee which identified six or seven parking areas. These trails are getting a lot of use, but there is not adequate parking along the highway. The US Forest Service has identified the highest priority areas. Those have been documented in a need request for some county assistance. There is the possibility of a matching grant to allow the construction of these parking areas to utilize those existing trails. This is a project for 2013. Some funding has been applied for from the Utah Department of Transportation. This was not successful so they are looking to other sources of funding. Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth is the one that signed the letter of agreement. The discussion centered around the letter from the Trails Committee requesting a right-of-way from SITLA for a multi-use trail off State Road 31 at Fish Creek. Mark H. Williams representing the Trail Committee presented to the commission a letter and a map. He said, "The trail will be for bikes and ATVs and equestrian people. At present bikers ride the Burma Road and have to get on Highway 31 and ride down the canyon into Huntington which is not considered safe. The state has promised help with trail improvement. The request is to put the trail under State Highway 31 at Fish Creek and up over a bridge, that will have to be built, across Huntington Creek to Stump Flat. The County and the Trails Committee would have to apply for a grant to construct the bridge over Huntington Creek. This would eliminate the need to cross Highway 31. The county could benefit by having the users of the trail cross under Highway 31 and over Huntington Creek to the trails beyond. If this request is approved and the bridge constructed. This trail would then extend from Helper to the Pageant Site.
Commissioner Horrocks said the Commission is in possession of a letter in support of this project. Dale Bartholomew trail specialist from the state has signed the letter and is interested in working with the county on the project. They will supply the trail dozer to build the trail. The Commission approved the support of this project. Maintenance of the Crandall Canyon Memorial was considered. This is the four year anniversary of the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster. Ray Petersen and Jeff Horrocks took a field trip to the Memorial site. They viewed the hand rails made of log that are starting to split. The Forest Service and the Mine Company did the initial work. Petersen is requesting $260 for maintenance of this memorial. He has volunteers from the Castle Dale Christian Men' s Fellowship to do the work. The project was approved by the Commission.
The Public Hearing regarding the repeal and replacement of the Emery County General Plan was held. This is an upgrade of the Emery County General Plan. Mack Huntington came forward to explain the work that has been done on the General Plan. By an Act of the State Legislature in 1992 every county in the state was to have a General Plan. They said, each county will have a General Plan which will serve as a directive for the county. The statute also said, from time to time make sure the plan is compatible and serves the county.
The General Plan should be updated by the county and kept current. It is the responsibility of the Planning Commission in every county to be the care taker of that document. It is the board of Commissioners who approve the document. The Emery County General Plan was first adopted in 1996. It has been reviewed a few times in the interim and some amendments and changes have been made to keep the plan current with what is happening in the county, particularly with land use.
Our biggest issue now is our Public Land Use. That document serves as a planning directive for the county to act. The first thing people coming into the county want to see, if they plan to do any kind of land use or development, is the General Plan. They will want to know. Does that document give us the directive to do what we want to do? We asked the Public Lands Council to work as a sub committee and draft that portion of the plan which deals with the public land. They did a very good job. Mike McCandless has assisted the Planning Commission in rewriting some of the other areas of the plan. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing before adopting the final changes.
McCandless said, there have been a lot of people involved in this project, not only those on the commissions and councils, but the public as well. Everything in the document came from the public. You now have three choices. You can accept it. You can reject it, or you can modify it. This document fits the needs of the county. The Commission approved the repeal and replacement of the Emery County General Use Plan after thanking all of those that worked so hard on this plan.
A contract was approved for medical services from Lowell Morris PA-C for the Emery County Jail. McCall Spears, Miss Emery County, Presented her platform for Miss Utah, titled "Buckle Up and Stop Texting and Driving". This is also to remember Alex Brown, who at the age of 17was killed while texting and driving. She said, distracted driving can be deadly. Miss Emery handed out cards for people to pledge that they would not text and drive. She has received hundreds of pledges.
The Commissioners reported on their activities and their trip to Washington DC in support of the Emery County Public Lands Bill. They were all very encouraged by the response of those they met with in Washington. James Nelson reported on Senator Mike Lee's visit to Emery County. Commissioner Nelson volunteered to escort Senator Lee around the County and down to Green River. He showed Senator Lee the areas that were involved in the Emery County Public Lands Bill. The trip to Washington DC in support of the Emery County Public Lands Bill, visiting our elected officials, and their staffs during three days was exhausting.
We visited the Carbon Plant in Helper. We listened to a speech and the reasons from Rocky Mountain Power, why that plant will be closed in September of 2015. There are some real concerns about this closing in Carbon and Emery County. We met with SITLA and discussed SITLA lands and their uses.
We met with the Scenic Byways committee about the road from Huntington to Fairview.
Commissioner Pitchforth reported May 1 Governor Herbert was in town to honor the Liberty Kids at Ferron Elementary. He then went to see the Millsite Golf Course and have lunch with the Commissioners.
Last Saturday we had our biggest Miss Emery County golf tournament. I am working on getting prepared for our Emery County Fair this year. No one has as yet come forward to operate the Lamb Fry this year. This is a pageant year so we expect an increased number of visitors.
Commissioner Horrocks reported the meetings in Washington DC went well. We had Ray Petersen our Public Lands Manager and our Economic Development Director Mike McCandless with us. They made presentations to all of our delegation in Washington and to the Department of The Interior, Assistant Director Hays, The Director of the BLM, Mr. Abbey. They wanted to know more about our Public Land Bill. At the Big Game RAC meeting at CEU, the biggest item was the number of permits that have been dropped to improve the buck to doe ratio. At the School Trust Lands meeting the biggest concern was how to deal with large tracts of land on sale or on lease and right of way uses. The Association of Governments meeting was concerned about the Federal Governments cuts in the elderly programs, the food programs and health programs. It is evident that there will be some very deep cuts in these programs. We are trying to decide how to fund those programs.
At the UAC conference the biggest concern is the states inability to fund jail housing for inmates that are housed in county jails. That is a concern for Sheriffs throughout the state. We have to fund those prisoners and that is quite expensive. The state should be paying their fair share. Utah Petroleum Association made a presentation in Price of what they are doing to try to generate jobs and generate energy resources.
Fish Creek and up over a bridge, that will have to be built, across Huntington Creek to Stump Flat. The county and the trails committee would have to apply for a grant to construct the bridge over Huntington Creek. This would eliminate the need to cross Highway 31. The county could benefit by having the users of the trail cross under Highway 31 and over Huntington Creek to the trails beyond. If this request is approved and the bridge constructed. This trail would then extend from Helper to the pageant site.

This Thing Is AwesomeFirst of all, it's a really good quality curler that won't damage your hair. Second of all, it's like getting 4 irons in one! Third, I wanted a clipless curling iron because even though I've never used the clip on my regular curling iron anyway (no one taught me, I had no idea what to do with that thing! so i wrapped it around and voila...now it's super trendy. awesome!) I wanted to upgrade, because I couldn't resist the lure. I'm still not very experienced with the iron, so I'm not great at it, but I'm getting the hang of it, and I really like that it comes with a heat-proof glove. So worth it!Feb 21, 2011ElyseHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Absolute Perfection!This curler is absolute perfection. It heats up in literally seconds, curls just as fast and lasts all day if not all night too. it takes me 10-15 minutes to curl my whole head and the curls stay just like i styled them all day (with no hair spray or any other product in my hair other than leave-in conditioner and heat protection) and sometimes i would wake up the next morning and my hair is still curled! it's easy and simple and works like magic. i feel like i have a hair salon in my room every time i walk out. this curler can make easy waves or dramatic curls, it's magnificent. another amazing quality of this product is that it doesn't damage my hair. for such a price it's amazing, i mean seriously, 4 curlers for $100? if you are debating on buying this, do it. the service was great, it was at my doorsteps two days after i ordered. only con i would have is probably the changing of the barrels, it takes a little getting used to, but honestly it's not worth wasting your time worrying over. buy this! now! i am so pleased.Feb 13, 2011MegHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Love It Clipless Curling Iron By CortexMy hair is color treated by a salon, a little longer than shoulder length with long layers
I bought this product because I have a T3 Straightener and love it but sometimes you want curls too. Make sure to follow the instructions with wand facing downward and yes it is awkward at first but once you get the hang of it is quite simple (really).
My results were amazing, natual looking curls and I I would definitely recommend it.
First time using you may get flustered (I did) but just give it a chance. It is definitely something you have to get used too but it only took me 2 - 3 separate occassions of using it and now I think I have it. I would recommend buying a second glove so you can move from one side to the other side w/o having to put down the curling iron. I had a pair of isotoner driving gloves (not the lined ones) and those worked really well you can hold the hair more easily. I also don't seem to put in as many curls as I used to with a clamp iroin and my hair seems fuller and the curls last all day. This is a great product, but remember there is a learning curve.

Best, Quickest Curling Iron!I love curling my hair but my hair does not. It refuses to keep curls. I bought a Helen of Troy last year and while it did the job, it also left clamp marks. Attribute this to my lack of skill all you want, but knowing I might get clamp marks gave me anxiety and made me not want to curl my hair. The curls would also fall out half way through the day, which left me in the first half of the day being anal about exactly where my hair was place to try to preserve the curl. All this was too much stress.
BUT, the Cortex solves all these problems! The curls HOLD all day and it is clipless so there's no possibility of clamp marks. Also, the way you wind it around the barrel makes curling hair a snap. Seriously, like, 10-15 mins. My traditional curler took half an hr. I love this thing and the fact that it has 4 difference sizes just seals the deal. I will never be without it! Such a great investment. Try it. You won't be disappointed!Feb 9, 2011Andrea / NC, USAHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

The Best Curling Iron I've Ever Used!!!I've been eyeing this product for quite some time now. I was hesitant b/c of the price. I usually don't spend over $20 bucks for a curling iron. I caved in a couple years ago and bought myself a Helen of Troy curling iron and paid almost $40 bucks for it. I would use it and thought to myself ok it doesn't curl that good but thought that's how curling irons are suppose to curl. After finally realizing that this piece of equipment sucks I purchased the Coretx and I'm so happy I did. For the price you get 4 barrels in 1 iron. You can do loose curls to soft waves. My hair has never ever held a curl for the whole day or even half day using other products. But this iron does wonders and even held my curls for 2 whole days!!!!!! Love it and will recommend to my friends :)Jan 31, 2011Jc / LOS ANGELESHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Yay & NayI bought this at a beauty store for $200. I thought it was cool since it has the different sizes and $200 for 4 curling irons didn't seem like a bad idea. I went home and tried and and I really liked it. I have really think frizzy curly hair so it was really exciting to have a product that could refine my curls more. This product makes the curls really bouncy and pretty much perfect however, they don't last very long. I ended up taking it back because I only used 2 of the sizes (The smallest and biggest)
Overall, I think it's a good product the only 2 things is that 1) the curls don't really stay for long and 2) 4 different sizes were really just too much because at the end the 2 largest ones ended up looking the same and vice versa with the small ones.

Bad For Shorter Hair Or LayersI saw tons of great reviews on this prouduct and could not wait to get it! When it came in the mail I tried it about the first day and the results were only so-so it took an hour and it came out with waves no matter how high i turned the heat or barrel i used and time i held it. I burned my shoulder multiple times. I have layers and shorter hair so maybe it will work better when my hair grows out but for now I'm not going to be using this product.Jan 13, 2011Jillian / OhioHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

UK: Worst case BSE scenario? 40 million sheep will be killed
The British government has admitted that if BSE was discovered in the national flock, up to 40 million sheep could face slaughter in a bid to control the disease. Contingency plans in case the disease is discovered have been released because the BSE inquiry report of October 2000 recommended that such planning was a "vital part" of government activity.

Bah the difference is Uroquiorra is a monster with senses in him. Kenpachi is a monster WITHOUT ANY FREAKIN SENSE! The only feeling he enjoys is to fight and cut an opponent. If he likes the opponent enouth, he would keep him alive to fight him again! So yeah this guy is nuts... Though if you touch Yachiru, who knows what kenpachi would do! Go bankai not with his zanpakuto, but with himself! heheh (he is sharper and stronger than his sword)
Kenpachi might pull this one off, in the right situation
Also to point out the battle between ichigo and kenpachi, 'remember the last slash showed the hollow mask inside. SO i am taking that his hollow helped him. Remember when the hollow use to pop out of ichigo? I would say he was as strong as teh hollow that poped in ichigo againts uroquiorra.
Also remember the first time on earth, When ichigo was figthing Yami(i believe that's his name), Uroquiorra went, Oh when his spirit is fluctuating his reatsu is even higher than mine. Which means, if ichigo would of tagged at that time with his hollow, he would of beat yami and urroquiorra. That's the hollow in ichigo power, thats'the same hollow that slashed kenpachi down.
Maybe his new hollow isnt the same as the one i mentioned, but remember, ichigo just got the mask, and i can tell u, he is alot weaker with his mask, then when the hollow pop out of him. Why? Caus ichigo still has to understand some of the hollow power, He still has to draw some of its power.
* Just a pointer nothing to do with the thead : Also remember the hollow said he is zangetsu, i think he became the source of ichigo power and zanpakuto. Like zangetsu ichigo has to get to know him. He gave him that supprise againts uroquiorra, just like he might have otehr suprises.
Dont be suprise if ichigo has 2 bankai stage or something simular. Speed was just the beggining i believe...
Tell me if that makes sense guys? ok?

I had a big suprise last night.
This year a big supermarket chain here had a contest with which you can win €100($148) groceseries for your Christmas dinner. You had to write down the reason why one of your loved ones deserved this price. I wrote down a reason at my store why my mom deserved this and my mom wrote down one at hers why I deserved the €100 worth of groceries. Yesterday they called my mom to say that her reason won and that I can spend the money! I was really suprised and happy when she told me.
I decided to split the price(€50 each) with my mom and she will do the grocery shopping for me tonight and I will get it tomorrow(my brother's coming here.) Normally I would go down there, but the weather is so bad that driving is dangerous(slippery and snow) and that public transportation is a complete chaos. Now she will do it for me.
The funny thing is that with the same contest last year I won a box of luxury products for her. I guess we're on a winning path.
My mom rocks!

Patriots-Ravens by the numbers
The Patriots and Ravens will meet for the third time in the postseason since 2009 Sunday. The teams split the last two playoff meetings, and Sunday's game is the second consecutive season in which Baltimore and New England will meet in the AFC Championship Game. In six games between the teams spanning six seasons, the Ravens have scored 149 points to 144 points for the Patriots. Those numbers and others suggest a rivalry akin to that between division foes. We go inside the numbers and try to parse out some answers leading up to Sunday's game. Next
Total yards of offense for the Ravens in last season's AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and Ravens at Gillette Stadium, won by the Patriots, 23-20. The Patriots had 330 yards of offense and three turnovers, but won the game in part thanks to a missed field goal by Baltimore's Billy Cundiff and a key dropped pass by Lee Evans. Next
The percentage of teams (57 out of 71) favored by nine points or more in the playoffs since 1978 that have won their games. Forty of those teams covered their spreads. The Patriots began as 9.5-point favorites against the Ravens. Next
In yards, the longest kickoff return given up by the Patriots all regular season. Houston's Danieal Manning took the opening kickoff 94 yards last week. Manning also had a 79-yard return later in the game. Baltimore's Jacoby Jones averaged 30.7 yards per kickoff return during the regular season, No. 1 in the league. Next
Postseason wins for Tom Brady in 23 tries, most by a quarterback in NFL history and one more than Brady's boyhood idol, Joe Montana. Next
The maximum number of quarterbacks Joe Flacco's agent, Joe Linta, says could be better than his own client. "I've been the one putting him on a pedestal saying Joe's a top-five, elite quarterback, and he's proving it," said Linta. "He's in the rarified air of having already won seven playoff games in his short career. He's really demonstrating that he's one of the top guys out there." Next
Passing yards for Flacco in a 31-30 win over the Patriots in Week 3. To go along with three touchdowns, the yardage was Flacco's season-high, and the most the Patriots gave up all year. Next
More touchdowns Joe Flacco has thrown (seven) than Tom Brady (two) in the last three meetings between the two teams. Next
The yardage of the touchdown by Baltimore's Ray Rice on the first play from scrimmage during a 2009 wild-card playoff game in Foxborough. Another sorry number from that game is Tom Brady's passer rating, which was 49.1. Next
That 2009 wild-card performance was the worst of Tom Brady's career. His second-worst? Last year's AFC title game, where he racked up a 57.5 rating. Next
Touchdowns Brady has thrown in the last six games against the Ravens compared to eight interceptions. Brady has been sacked 15 times and has a 75 quarterback rating in those six games. Next
35 and 433
Points and yards per game for the Patriots in 11 regular season games this season with Rob Gronkowski. They averaged 34 points and 417 yards a game in five games without him. Next
Times Tom Brady targeted Aaron Hernandez in the five games Gronkowski missed. Next
NFL ranking of the Ravens defense in yards allowed this season. In points allowed the Ravens were 12th. Last season the team was 3d in the league in points allowed, the same ranking they had during the 2009 season when they came to Foxborough and beat the Patriots in a wild-card game. Next
Consecutive weeks in which this is Ray Lewis' "last game." Back to the beginning
